CURB study called hogwash
•from' page 3 -
Murray Blackie, from the Ministry of
Environment, said the ministry continues
to have concern for the impact of inten-
sive livestock operations. He •reviewed
the CURB program and its findings.
Mark Sully, a ratepayer, questioned
the reliability of those findings,• saying in
his opinion they were hogwash. He cited
one farm studied where there were 55
cows on a farm drinking and defecating
in a stream, the milk house drained into
the tile, the farmer spreadmanure in the
winter, and there were four people in the
home that had a faulty septic system:
"And the results said that 58 per cent
of the pollutioifin the stream •was,from
the septic tank!
There *as no black and white answer
for another resident who asked Blackie,
4A
re,y, you ultm to1y responsible nSib1e
if there,
is damage
(from a spill) and my property
value falls? Are you goingtto accept
responsibility?"
One ratepayer suggested a $ 1 million
bond .should be posted by "hog plants to
ensure no problems occur."
Blackie ,called it an "interesting con-
cept. Who or what group would be
responsible for that?"
There was also no definitive answer as
to the number of animals that can be
accommodated in a particular watershed.
This: was one of the controls suggested by
Bill Andrews, professor emeritus at the
environmental studies department of the
University of Toronto, when he addressed
PROTECT recently.
PROTECT will continueto meet
weekly. The acronym stands for'
