watershed, Frayne said it is numbers.
"Huron County has 60,000 people
and the livestock equivalent of 3 mil-
lion. That is (producing) 98 per cent
of the effluent." While noting every-
one has to do their part, she said
sources other than livestock con-
tribute a small portion of the waste
created.
PROTECT is not against land
application of manure, but points out
concentration of production is at the
heart if the issue. "Larger operations
go to liquid manure because it is eas-
ier to handle," said Frayne. "But it is
harder to manage. I believe manure
should go back to the land as it pro-
vides valuable nutrients, but there are
nasty elements in there, too. We have
to look out how we apply it and that
it is done properly."
"We will all pay the price and we
are doing just that," said Frayne. "1
couldn't walk away anymore when I
thought my child could die by turn-
ing on the tap."
PROTECT will be watching the
Walkerton inquiry closely as there
will be information regarding all
drinking water in Ontario. "It will
bring the issue into focus and hope-
fully bring some meaningful
change," she added.
Determining Quality
Even before the Walkerton crisis,
several organizations from Huron
County had begun work to monitor
aquifers in the district to learn more
about water quality.
A co-operative venture between
the Huron County planning depart-
ment, health unit, conservation
authorities and a private consultant,
the study will determine the current
water quality to provide baseline
numbers as well as establish sentinel
wells through which on-going moni-
tors will occur.
With little scientific data available
presently, the researchers will consid-
er bacteria levels, natural contami-
nants such as sodium and fluoride
along with man-made pollutants.
This will also help the county's plan-
ning department discover areas of
potential problems.
While many studies have been
done on groundwater, little is known
about these deep water systems
which provide drinking water to
much of the county, both urban and
rural.
