Manager is John MacKay who is from Guelph originally.—staff photo t. New water act cut through'Bureacrcitk and jurisdictional mazy' The proposed -anew Canada Water Act, announced by the government, is designed to break; through "the bureaucratic and jurisdictional maze" that has up to now bedevilled efforts at water pollution control and conservation, Otto Lang, minister responsible for energy and water' resources, said recently. "The Canadian public has become increasingly impatient with the failure to develop long-term plans and with the failure of the several levels of g`bvernment to act in concert. The federal' government has the responsibility to take the lead in co-operative action to dealwith the, growing problem' of water pollution and to plan effectively for the management of Canada's water resources in , the future," Mr. Lang. said. "It is almost inconceivable," he said, "that co-operation would notbe secured in dealing , with a problem of such public concern. However, in such an unlikely eventuality the proposed . act would give • the federal government authority to act alone in dealing with the pollution of inter -jurisdictional waters. 0 0 Mr. Lang said that although many undertakings in the water field had been successful, there had been an overemphasis on structural, piecemeal solutions. One of the innovations that would correct this „situation Permanent press clothes are one of the greatest advances in textiles since the introduction of man-made fibres. Permanent 'press articles can be washed, dried, and put back into service Without ironing. Many automatic washers now come equipped with a permanent press cycle which gives a warm wash temperature, _normal ,agitation, and shorter wash time.. To discourage wrinkling, wash water is cooled, just_ before the spin. cycle begins. would be the Water Quality Management Agencies, which would be responsible to both the federal and provincial governments and draw on the advice and knowledge of local people, • municipalities and industry. Ratepayers, he added, would be more willing to authorize expenditures on municipal waste -treatment ,plants if—they knew that other municipalities and private industry were doing their -part. Planning would embrace whole regions and river basins. Mr. Lang concluded by saying that he intended to meet, almost immediately, with his colleagues in the provincial governments to start discussions on the implications of the proposed act. - e called on all interested rattles, includinfl industry and municipalities, to share their views with him: yy- HIGHLIGHTS QF THE CANADA WATER ACT * Together with, the provinces, the federal government would designate as a water quality- management area' any body of *titer where there is significant national interest. * Pollution of Waters in such designated areas would be punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 for each offend. 'Each day this pollution continued it would be regarded as a separate offence. * Together with the provinces, or alone if necessary on interjurisdictional waters,,the federal government would launuch water .. quality management programs in designated problem areas. These programs, would be administered by agencies which would recommend objectives of water quality and steps to achieve these objectives. Agencies would be charged with implementing approved water quaality management plans. * "Wateroquality management agencies would design and operate sewage treatment facilities, collecting charges for the treatment of wastes delivered to these facilities. * Ottawa would enter into agreement with any province to establish intergovernmental committees or agencies to advise on water research, planning, management, aqd development, ' and to help co-ordinate , and implement . water policies _and programs. * Together with the provinces, . the federal government would . establish joint commissions,boards "or other agencies to conduct water management programs. Such programs would be concerned with the supply, quality, distribution ai�id other aspects of water — - a comprehensive approach to multi-purpose water resource management.
