While a good portion of the meeting centred around the technical aspects and merits of lagoon systems and chemical data of water samples from the river, a resident of Seagrave told the meeting that at one tithe he could see the bottom of the river while standing on the bridge in that community. Now, that is impossible. Another resident of Seagrave, Gord Burnett, said that two years ago, he took samples from the river, and department of health analysis showed high bac- teria.counts in the sample taken below the discharge area and acceptable levels in the sample taken upstream from the lagoons. "The river seems to be getting worse," he said, and: suggested that the lagoon system might need some kind of purification unit. Jerry Heath, a chemical engineer and active member of the Kawartha Study Group in Lindsay, had been invited to attend the meeting because the Kawartha Group has been monitoring the quality of the -Scugog River near Lindsay. Mr. Heath said that a lagoon system for sewage treatment is just as efficient as any mechanical process when it is operating properly Summer Games In anticipation. of the 1979 Ontario Summer Games for ANNIVERSARY SELESRATION!

He suggested however, that the Ratepayers commit- tee keep a close watch on the Nonquon, and if the water tests and samples don't meet government standards, '"thenit is time to raise hell." Mr. Heath said the argu- ments are not whether the river is polluted, but whether the pollution levels are acceptable. He said that members of the Kawartha Study Group with technical and scientific expertise would be willing to help the Scugog committee in analy- sing the data from water samples and testing. The local committee has been invited to be present when the lagoons are tested prior to discharge in May and also when the cells are opened later that month. Newly elected Ratepayers Association president Liz Perry told the meeting that officials with the Durham Works department in Whitby assured her that the results of all tests and samples taken from the river and from the sewage cells will be made available to the committee. The discussion on the Nonquon River was intro- duced by Bill Brock, who said the purpose was to explore the situation further. **We just aren't sure about the water quality, there appear to be conflicting reports," he said.
