Trends in water quality
of Maitland River studied
Evaluating historical trends in the water quality of
the Maitland and Saugeen Rivers in Southwestern
•Ontario is the subject of one project in Environment
Ontario's Experience '82 program.
A first year physics student at the University of
Western Ontario is ' preparing the - important
Preninary work for intensive watershed studies
scheduled for 1984•. She will examine water
samples for nutrients', . such as phosphorus and
nitrogen, biochemical oxygen demand, and suspend-
ed solids as indicators of water quality. Co-ordinating
. -that information ,with historicaL.data, .trends-in_water
quality can be seen. The 1984-88 studies will use this
data in establishing basin management plans to im-
prove or maintain water quality in Southwest On-
tario.
About 189 students are working on 90 projects this
summer through Environment Ontario's Experience
program.
. "Thi. program gives young people interested in
their environment some practical experience in pro-
tecting it," said Keith C. Norton, Ontario Minister of
the Environment. "In return,. the Ministry benefits
from their enthusiasm and dedication."
Ontario's Youth Secretariat organizes the Pro-
vince's overall Experience '82 "program, pow in its
tenth..year.. It.offers.a.wideyariety of. summer jobs.in...,
government ministries and community organizations
to students with appropriate skills and education.
Removing stains from
concrete is not difficult
Removing Stains
From Concrete
Have you ever had to
remove stains from con-
crete? Sometimes it's
needed to prepare a surface
for painting, or just to im-
prove the appearance.
One of the most common
stains is oil on floors or
driveways. If you remove
the oil quickly, there won't
be much danger of staining.
You should soak the oil up
immediately with an ab-
sorbent cloth or paper towel.
Avoid wiping, as it spy
the stain and drives it into
the concrete. Cover the spot
with a dry, powdered, ab-
sorbent, inert material such
as portland cement and
leave it for one day. Repeat
this procedure until no more
oil is absorbed.
If this doesn't work, you'll
have to use Plan "B". Scrub
the stained area with a
strong soap, scouring
powder, OF trisodium
phosphate. Then make a
poultice with a solution of
onepart trisodium
phosphate:in six parts water.
Apply this to the st.,ain and
allow it to dry. Remove the
dried paste and scrub the
surface with clear water.
Voila! No more stain.

Hydro to

million this year to decrease
nitric oxide emissions at
Nanticoke and Lakeview
generating stations.
The pilot program in-
volves modifying burners at
the stations to reduce the
flame temperature. Testing

ticok.e, after burner
modifications in 1980, show-
ed a lower temperature

sions by as much as 27 per.

is due back in service in
-November with—extensive
-testing to follow. Similar
equipment will be installed
in Unit 4 at Lakeview during
September, with the in-
serVice date alsp_ set for
November.
If the pilot program is suc-
cessful, Hydro will spend $52
million over the next 1(1
years to modify all burners
at Nanticoke, Lakeview and
Lambton stations.

Measure Grain
Harvest Losses
No matter what combine
you use, or how new it may
be, there will be some loss:
The questions 'are: How
much loss is too much? What
is an acceptable loss? How
do you measure that loss?
Sticking your hand under
the sieve and catching a
handful of straw and chaff
and examining it doesn't
give you a good check on the
loss. Nor does scrambling in
the straW behind the
machine.
Either way, the chances
are you . are wasting your
time.
In a survey of 47 farmers
who sampled losses this way,
only nine were prepared to.
estimate the • loss when
asked. Of these, only two
were within 50 percent of the
actual measured loss. In four
cases, the loss was^ double
the estimate and, in one
case, eight times greater. So,
don't guess. But if , you see
grain laying on the ground
behind the combine, don't
panic either. For two
reasons: grain losses may
not be as high as they might
seem and the lost grain may
not be passing through the
combine at all.
Losses may not be as high
as they seem. For instance,
in a bushel of wheat, there
are about 1,000,000 kernels.
In a bushel of oats, there are
about 500,000 kernels.

Board for additional

The board's report, releas-
ed June 18, approved a plan'
for a double circuit 500,000 -

Essa and two single .circuit
500,000 -volt lines from Lon-
don back to Nanticoke
generating station.

Buyer sought
Hydro .is__looking_for pro-
posals fromprivate interests
to buy and rede,Vitep. its
Galata generating station.
Located on the Mississagi
River near Arnprior, the 800 -
kilowatt station, built in 1907,
_was shut down last summer
because of its poor struc-
tural condition.. Concrete
tests have also shown that
the ,,edam must soon be.
replaced regardless of
Galetta's future use.
Hydro policy is to en -
if you check losses by
catching the discharge at the
back of the combine in your
hand and happen to catch 10
kernels in half a minute,
same people would say that
too much grain was going out
with the straw and chaff.
Is it? Counting 10 hours a
day and 26 days a month, it
would take over three
months to catch a bushel of
wheat, at this rate.
In order to lose five
bushels in a day of 10 hours,
there would have to be 140
kernels escape every second,
or 8,400 every minute.
It takes about 25 kernels of
spring wheat, 20 kernels of
durum, 11 kernels of oats and
12 kernels of barley per
square foot to make a loss of,
one bushel an acre.
Lost grain may • not be
passing through the com-
bine. M.E. Dodds, well-
known researcher on grain
harvesting at Swift Current,
Saskatchewan, found that
grain losses due to natural
cause, reel and cutter bar
losses, and pickup losses can
vary from one to one -and -a -
half bushels an acre. None of
this grain goes though the
combine.
Grain' losses during har-
vest occur four ways:
Natural losses, Reel and
Cutter Bar loss, Pickup
losses and Threshing and
separating loss.

Nuclear performance costs
Recent cost performance
studies show that in 1981,
Pickering and Bruce nuclear
stations produced power at
nearly half the cost of Lamb -
ton
ton generating station,
Hydra's most efficient coal-
fired station.
The total energy cost for
Pickering was 1,41 cents per
kilowatt-hour, while Bruce
supplied power for 3.40 Ben s
per kilowatt-hour.
In comparisons: Lambton's
total energy cost would have
been 2.80 cents per kilowatt-
-fiour. if it hadoperated at
Pickering's capacity.
Contract awarded
CAE Electronics, of
Quebec, has been awarded
an $11 million contract for a
training simulator to be used
at the Pickering "B" nuclear
station.
Simulators, to train
nuclear technicians, are pro-
vided for each nuclear plant,
based on the difference in
design features.

Bioiogists check river fa eei lamprey
Friday morning six
marine biologists of the
Fisheries and Oceans
Department of the Federal
Fisheries and Environment
Division conducted an
assessment of the lamprey
eel population in the Nine
Mile River at Port Albert.
Using three small boats, the
surface of the water was
sprayed with the chemical
Bayvuside. The chemical
granules sink to the' river
bed where it affects the
respiratory system of the
lamprey eel causing them tp(
come to the surface for o
ygen. Cruising the sprayed
area for one hour after-
wards, the affected lamprey
are scooped up by means of
dip nets. Over a dozen lam-
prey fingerlings were cap-
tured. Another method used
is electric shock treatment,
and this was used in the
water upstream from the
fish ladder. The chemical
spray is non-toxic and has no
harmful affect upon swim-
mers. Extensive research
has been conducted in the
United States on the product
used.
The biologists are cover-
ing the Great Lake's area
and work out of head-
quarters in Sault Ste Marie.

atremely competitive with
teams from many of the
States participating. The
team from Ontario was the
only Canadian team in the
events. In the final contest,
the Canadians . defeated In-

score of 925 out of 1,000. -
Geoff Latin is the Junior

This was a low score.
However this was a distinct
honour to have a Canadian
