cost the point of discharge was chosen for better stream assimilation of the waste water the Board said that evidence given on that point by Robert Hawkins an Assistant District Engineer with the Commission is vague and In fact refuted by the witnesses Hamilton and Lawrence who both own property downstream from the outfall pipe Both owners said the brief stated and their evidence was not challenged that the flow in the Eramosa River is slight and does not represent the considerable volume of turbulent water flowing over a rocky river bed as suggested by the engineer Hawkins No studies The board submitted that it was admitted that no extensive studies were undertaken to analyze the capacity of the stream to receive effluent from a sewage treatment plant It would seecm it said that data on flow measurements would be crucial to such a technical evaluation It may well be that the head pond of the river dam is a more suitable body of Hater to receive and assimilate of this nature

had agreed to pick up SPIN S monthly waste collection and deliver It to depots in Hamilton and Guelph when it was feasible for him to do so The subsidy was to be in the form of 25 a month for a three month trial period Reeve Mrs Anne MacArthur reported McDonald had gathered SPIN January collection and delivered a shipment of waste paper to a factory in Guelph but was told to leave the shipment
