A program, designed to
'k"curb excessive algal growth in
Ontario' waterways while
stimulating recovery in existing•
problem areas'has been launched
by, the Ontario Water Resources
Commission.
' T''h�e program,
incorporating a ^ timetable,
requires tike` .itallation of'
facilities capable of removing a,
minimum of 8.0r�' of -phosphorus
from sewage at municipal and
institutional sewage treatment
plants throughout the province.
Phosphorous is one of the
essential • nut•ients for algal
growth, and reproduction.
Extensive study conducted in
Ontario and elsewhere ' has
d e„t,•e it m i n e d that t h e
introduction Of. phosphorus into
waterway'sin excessive
qu a',tities ' .,,.cw.an... trigger
-'developrrl�nt. of undesirable algal
,conditions. Excessive, algae l d'
ao a 'deterioration in tlie`gt t 'v
of aquatic life by draining
oxygen• from the water, interfere
with water supply systems and
recreation and pose , many.,,
nuisance and esthetic problems.
According to the timetable, the
'facilities are 'to be installed by
the end of 197,3 at treatment
plants in -the Lake'Erie drainage
basin and at 'many points .in Ahe
upper Great Lakes, inland
recreational waters and the
Ottawa River system.. December
31,, 1975, his been set as the
final date for commencement of
operation of these facilities in
the Lake Ontariobasin.
Treatment for Tiosphorus will
be required at ,'other plafts as
localized' conditid'ns dictate.
a":1 Cost of theprogram, to the end
of 1975, is estimated at $40'
million by which time it 'is
e,'p'ected over,200 municipalities
will' have installed facilities.

I'he necessity tor reducing
the amount of' phosphorus
entering the lower Great Lakes
system to the lowest" practical'
level has been ,stressed. by the,
International' 'Mint Commission.
• Niunicipal sewage represents., by.
far, the greatest contributor of
phosphorus.. Apiir"oximately 2, 3
of 'the phosphorus entering Lake
Erie is from municipal sources.
