From Queen's Park BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P,P. It has been estimated that some 48,000 off Ontario's lakes will become biologically sterile due to acid rain - precipitation which mixes with industrial pollution and falls • into our lakes and rivers as a mild but destructive acid - within the next 15 to 20 years. Some +' 140 lakes have already "died", and we have not, as yet, even— begun to measure the results of acid rain pollution. What is being done to save our lakes for future generations? What can be done? What must be done? A senior federal scientist has warned that the damage already done to Canada's environment by the acid precipitation may well already be impossible to repair. In ' addition to the lakes which are irreparably damaged, or threatened, important Atlantic salmon spawning rivers may also be affected, and vast tracts of forest could be stunted. While this problem has existed for decades, it is quickly becoming critical as soil and water lose their chemical ability to neutralize the acid, and as more acid is created by new coal-fired plants. According to reports, more than 30 million. tons of sulphur dioxide is being spewed out of eastern North America • stacks - about 2.4 million tons from Ontario sources - every year, and much of the acid rain is falling on Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. To add to the general concern about the , damage caused by acid rain to our environment, Dr. Leonard Hamilton, head of the en- vironmental assessment division of the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, has stated that acid pollution kills an estimated 5,000 persons in Eastern Canada every year. The Legislature's Standing Resources Development Committee, having studied •acid rain, has made a number o recommendations, and believes the problem should be considered a national emergency, It recommended the convening of an in- ternational conference, involving the Premier of Ontario, . the Prime• Minister of Canada, and the Premiers of other Provinces affected by acidic precipitation. This should be organized on the same basis.. as that which was convened when the 1972 accord was drawn up by the Inter- national Joint Com- mission on Water Quality. As ' soon as possible, a:' federal- provincialagreement should be developed on joint action required of all' Canadian govern- ments in' this connection. Because Ontario is also affected by emissions originating in the U.S. and efforts should be made, without delay, to obtaih 'a transboundary agreement controlling such emissions. •To demonstrate its serious intentions with respect to the acidic precipitation problem and its com- mitment to an in- ternational agreement on air pollution, Ontario should take an active role in reducing emission of sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides within our own borders. The Ministry of the Environment should give consideration to the in- corporation of special abatement provisions to meet the acidic precipitation problem ill general abatement •Or- ders issued to industries which contribute to this pollution.
