The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Jatiuary 19, 1977 15 1Letterm Eldorado Replies to Charges Dear Sir: Somne perspective is needed for recent comrments in your paper and elsewhere about the " millions of gallons" of run- off fromn Eldorado Nuclear's Port Granby residue area. "Millions of gallons"~ is correct. We estimate the ruýn-off averages 15 gallons a s minute, and that works out to 7.9 million gallons a yenr. That is haif the flow from an ordinnry garden hose. The suggestion has been made that this 'run-off is "4poison", and thiat it bndly contaminates Lake Ontario. One writer has -wondered whether it affects drinking water drawn fromn the lake by municipalities in the area. Most of the run-off is rainwnter and snow-melt. But as it passes through the waste-management aren it picks up traces of various elemnents from the, buried residue. This run-off trickies into Lake Ontario in small streams, one at ench side of the Port Granby site. Snmp- ling of these run-off waters indicates that the radium, arsenc and nitrates in these flows are higher than the drinking-water standard, Keep in mmnd, though, that the drinking-wnter standards are for use on a water supply j that forms the sole lifetime source of drinking water for a person or persons. No one would use the Port Granby run-off that way, any more tha n they would stake their lives on ditchwater or the mun-off fromn a barn. The real issue is what al this does to Lake Ontario. The answer: not much. The provincial environmental authorities have examined the offshore water repeatedly and have declared that it poses no significant health hazard. At Eldorado, we have taken these studies a step further and have analyzed both the lake water and the lake bottomn at points onr a grid stretching 1.,000 metres east and west of the site. The highest arsenic concen- tration anywhere on this grîd is 0.01 parts per million. That is about one-fifth the Ontario drinking-wnter standard. Radium in. the water men- sures less than one picoCurie per litre at the highest reading. That is one-third of the Ontario drinking-water standard of 3 picoCuries per litre. Nitrate concentrations are "l ess than one part per million, welbelow the Ontarl rink ing-water standard of 10 ppm. In ýthe lake-bottomn sedi- ments, the radium content inmnediately offshore of the stteams was 2 picoCuries per gramn, compared with 4 pico Danjsh BUlky Reg. Tweedola ne PA 3KING ST. W. * totheEdio Tow.Anand Region Meetings Curies per gram in deep water some distance from the site. No significance is attached to this difference ; it is merely concluded that the bottom hasý not been contaminated by the Port Granby operation. Arsenic concentrations in the sediment ranged up to 0.6 parts per million. A recent Great Lakes Wter Quality Board report notes that 1in typica~ soil in uncontamninated areas,\ý the arsenic content averages 6.,ppm. Current" measurements in the vicinity of the Wesleyville Genernting Station indicate that the net current in the lake is Westerly, but the current is strongly affected by wind direction and fully 47 per cent of the time the current is moving in the opposite direc- tion or easterly. To sum up, the wnter analysis in the lake indicates that there is 1no hazard of nny kind to municipal drinking- wter suplies drnwn froma the lake 1in this arca. We appreciate, though, that people take a lively interest i12 this subject., So we have started compiling some de- tailed data, and shortly will have it available in the Eldorado information centres in both Port Hope and Bowmanville. Vours Sincerely. S.E. Frost Health Physicist I paid for whatever they do. 1 and a grent many other electoral usters are fed up with the whole deal. When Ontario Hydro was, put together many years ago, it wns donc to provide the people of Ontario with inex- pensive power. This wonderful idea has been totally corrupt- cd by the provincial politic- ians at Queen's Park and their lnckeys on the local level. t is time that we, the people of Ontario hnd a Royal Commiss- ion to investigate the complete operation of Ontario Hydro and their satraps the local P.U.C.'s and come in with recommendations that will clear up the present system that lias become too costly and also to give the taxpayers the democratic righit to elect the P.U.C.
