Program will reduce pollution The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry ,of the Environment and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, is continuing its program to reduce water pollution from livestock operations. Tracey Ryan has recently'joined the staff at ABCA to work with farmers toward reducing the pollution potential of their farms. As Water Quality Technician, she is replacing Dave Balint who has left the Con servation Authorityto work on fish cultures in South ,America. Tracey is a graduate 'of the co-op geography program at the Univer- sity of Waterloo. She brings with her a. farm background and familiarity with the manure management program since she worked on the program when it was started in 1982. The ABCA.'s involvement is in response to concern about water quality expressed by a number of member municipalities. In 1982 and 1983, farms having a potential for manure pollution were identified. Educa- tional packages describing proper manure management, storage structures and remedial measures to control runoff or pre- vent pollution were distributed to each farm identified as having pollution potential. In 1984, the Conservation Authority con- ducted a study to identify municipal and tile drains exhibiting poor water quality in the area draining into the Parkhill Reservoir. It was found that 10 percent of the tile drains surveyed were severely contaminated and a further 40 'percent contained large algae growths, indicating moderate pollution. Subsurface drainage is believed to be a significant cause of poor water quality. Denis Veal, chief of water resources assessment at the Environment Ministry's regional office in London, said that a study of the Lake Huron shore has shown that. livestockmanure was a significant con- tributor to the 1983 beach closures at Grand Bend. High levels of fecal colifirom bacteria were found to be leaking from farms in the Ausable Watershed into the watercourses. As a result, the Ministry in cooperation with the Conservation Authority is launching a renewed effort to help farmers reduce manure pollution. The primary purpose of the program is to provide information and technical assistance to farmers. The Conservation Authority is encouraging farmers to use the Ontario Soil Conservation and Environment Protection Assistance Program grants available through the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Grants for one-third the cost of manure storage facilities up to a maximum of $5,000.00 per farm operation are available for qualifying projects. By providing farmers with technical aid and information, the Conservation Authori- ty hopes to help them work towards effec- tive and economic ways to control livestock pollution. The ABCA encourages farmers to contact the Conservation Authority for more information, -but in addition the ABCA may take the initiative and contact farmers themselves. Anyone with questions about agriculture pollution, manure handling and storage problems or simply interested in more infortnation should contact Tracey Ryan at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority office in Exeter at 235-2610. OPP on full alert for summer"' With alcohol and fast driving still the main contributors towards fatalities on the province's highways the OPP are on full alert for, the summer months. Canada Day, the first major long weekend of the vacation season, has always seen a rise in the volume of traffic on all routes to and from cottage country. Statistics show , an increase of five fatalities last year over the 20 traffic deaths that occurred within the • OPP patrol areas on the same long weekend in 1983. "It is only through enforcement and the public's awareness of the problems of im- paired driving and excessive speed that we can save lives and ensure safe travel • on our highways during the summer months," said OPP Commissioner Archie Ferguson. "Summer should be a time of enjoyment and not tragedy," he added. The OPP will be increasing its visibility on all .Ontario highways in a bid to reduce •accidents through the use of 400 roadside A.L.E.R.T..breath testing machines and 150 breathalyzer units with a total of 750 trained breathalyzer technicians. Motorists who have been ' drinking alcoholic beverages but show a borderline or `warn' breath test reading will have their licences suspended for 12 hours. Last year the licence suspension pro- cedure was used in 12,674 cases. The suspen- sions may be an inconvenience to holidayers, but they just may have saved the lives of the driver, his passengers and other motorists. In addition, all of the force's radar units will be utilized to monitor speeding motorists because the summer months of June, July and August are the worst time for highway accidents. "We are aware of the. expected carnage on the highways and our job is to do everything possible to prevent it," said Insp. Norm Wasylyk, the anti -impaired driving coor- dinator with the • OPP Traffic Programs Branch, adding; "It is a major accident weekend and we are going to use every bit of our expertise to reverse the rise in our acci- dent death figures - for everybody's sake."
