Listowel lagoon under control

yhe situation at the Listowel
Lagoon is being carefully
watched by the Save ,The
Maitland Association and
'members are concerned about,
what will happen to .the .effluent.
in the lagoon once freeze-up
conies.'
The Ontario W• ater Resources
has repeatedly stated that the
spray system flow in operation
at the bistowel
an interim measure and that
• • pump,ing of effluent from ,the
lagoon willdiscontinue at
freeze-up.
It has also become
abundantly. clear that after
freeze-up, the "normal overflow"
at the lagoon mu: enter, tne
Maitland River. As was pointed
out by the office of Hon. C.S.
MacNaughton,' however, there
will be no major dump of sewage
into the Maitland River as there
was last spring and the effluent
which spills over into the stream
will be better treated than ever
before because of the aeration
chamber installed this year at
the lagoon.
President of the Save The
Maitland Association Jim
Vallance sent a leker in. late
September to Hon. Gorge Kerr
• and asked the' following
questions: If. the effluent spray
program under test.at Listowel is
•successful do you intend to
'continue the spray -program .an.a .
permanent basis?' Do you intend
to cancel the spray prqgram at
• freeze-up and return the effluent
to the Jiver? 4:4
A carbon copy of the letter
was sent to R.D. Johnston of the
Ontario ' Water Resources
Commission and the following
reply was received from him:
"In answer to your first
,questibn, it should be pointed
out 'that the objective of the
spray ,irrigation operation was to
use Up as much of the effluent in
the lagoon cells as possible this
fall in order to allow the effluent '
• to have the benefit of the added
treatrnent provided by the
aeration unit installed this year.
The answeris, therefore, no.
• This does not preclude our
reassesting the situation in the
future .depending on the success

question."
The Signal -Star had been in
,contact, with the office of Hon.
C.S. MacNaughton some time
ago and had received assurance
that figures would be forwarded
concerning the amount of
normal "discharge" which could
be expected daily into the
Maitland River once freeze-up
arrived.
Don Southcott, executive
secretary to Mr. MacNaughton
has since advised this newspaper
that the only figures he , can
release are that between .one
million and 1.1 million gallons
of sewage daily are dumped into
the lagoon. tle sliirlying will
continue until freeze-up in, an
attempt to lower the lagoon as
much as possible , before the
spraying operation ceases. There
. were no figures ..availabJe Jroin
Southcotton how much effluent
will normally run off into the,.
Maitland River daily.
Save The Maitland
Association officials however,
have estimated a considerable
overflow. Assuming the lagoon is
full and that one million gallons
_ of sewage--is-dumped into it
daily, they believe it is logical to
assume, that one million gallons
of e'f uen t -albeit treated
effluent will enter the Maitland
River daily.
A letter from the SaveThe
Maitland Assdiciation is also in
• the •hands of Huron Cotinty
,Council. Study of that letter is
continuing.
"Huron .County," .the letter
stated, "has adequate laws to
prevent pollution. Huron
County has inspectors paid to
enforce these laws. Tests are
available. to identify people who
are breaking these laws.
Therefore, We urge that: 1)
storm sewers entering. the
Maitland River be tested; 2) that
arly, drains caging pollution be
identified, whether domestic,
industrial or agricultural; 3) the
location and results of these
tests be published in, our local
papers every , month; 4) at any
point showing. a high coliform

be erected to warn of tke.health
