Pollution Board Gives Answers (continued from page one) of plant, and in other cases the coriverse is true. As to perform, ance, a mechanical plant if pro- perly operated and maintained is slightly better than a lagoon in terms of the character of the eff- luent. However, the output from a mechanical plant may decline in’ quality by as much as 50 per cent through inexpert operation of the plant. Therefore for smaller com- munities who are not likely’ to be able to afford to hire the skilled help required, a sewage lagoon represents by far the better type of treatment plant. As to the lo- cation of the lagoon, this is jel referred ‘to in your letter has oc- curre!

I was so shaken I didn’t argue with the province's most important man; I went out of his office trembling because he glared and snapped at me, and I was frightened. When I recovered and took another tour around the Buildings, which the Premier never does, I grew mad all over again, However, the Premier’s glares and, stares and, snaps don’t. alter what is a fact, and that fact is this: our Legislative Buildings ARE shabby. and unkempt, and slowly falling to pieces, , What I'm getting at is that in B.C, — and in Ottawa, too — there.|’ should be. some. sort of public buildings commission, whose jeb it would be to. safeguard historic buildings from wreckers’ axes, :ev- Legislative Buildings are.

N Question 8:.Whén ment. be , ‘either. from are proposed? Answer: The major source of the pollution of the Columbia ri- ver in so far as Kinnaird is con- cerned originates’ from the City of Nelson. We .have written to the city as well as to. other communi- eration ‘be given to taking cor- rective this evant except in the a major flood disaster,, and if the Columbia river projects'go ahead such a disaster would be almost in- conceivable in the future. Question 3: That in any. event chlorination of discharge of eff- luent from lagoon should be man- datory, and.we solicit your opinion, Answer: If chlorination were required it “would be required in connection with either a mechani- cal plant or. the lagoon, but studies of our. technical advisor are that the effluent from the lagoon will not be detectible by the time’ it reaches Kinnaird. Question 4: That Iagoon sys- tems-as compared to mechanical treatment plants are a source of disease which are borne by biting insects (sleeping sickness)? Answer: There are over 2,000 sewage lagoons in use in various parts of the United States and Ca- nada and there have been no re- involves both ates of engineer- ing and finance and I think the City of Nelson will undertake these responsibilities as quickly, as they reasonably can. Question 6: Whats recent con- ditions have contributed to the excessive pollution of this ‘iver which two years ago was a reason- ably safe souxce of domestic water supply? Answer: Two factors proba- bly account for the char~e in the situation to which you refer. First the City’ of Nelson has greatly increased its collection of sewage, and therefore its concentration in- to the Kootenay river system, and secondly a much more elaborate program of sampling has. brought to light the fact that the conditions were worse than formerly realized. Question 7: Why domestic wa- ter supply users of the Columbia river, below its confluence with ported cases where the situation the Kootenay, were not kept in- ties asking that -early consid-|. your bourd.or. through the health department ‘informing the resident users of the Columbia river supply, of its condition, the effect of chio- rination and .whether*or not it should be boiled: before consump- tion?

Answer: Now. that we have made. a very thorough check on the conditions of the waters in the Columbia river basin, the problem is to institute measures which will correct these conditions where they are unsatisfactory and the board has already directed letters to the various communities urging that remedial steps be: taken. It is the board's ‘lope and expectation that the various communities will put into motion remedial mea- sures, but it is too much to expect that these can be done overnight because they involve engineering reviews and financial reviews, The board, however, will certainly. not let the matter drop.
