(ASI) of St. Catharines is applying to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) to use low level chlorination as a treatment protocol for the control of zebra mussels within the St. Marys Cement raw water supply system. The zebra mussel was introduced to the Great Lakes in 1986 and has since adversely impacted industrial and municipal water consumers throughout the region by colonizing the inside surfaces of facility piping. ASI is proposing to inject liijuiil sodium hypochlorite into the cooling water system at low levels (approximately drinking water concentration) known to control zebra mussel colonization. The effluent (discharge) will be stringently monitored under guidelines set forth by the MOE for zero discharge of chlorine. The length of the program is approximately ten to fourteen days in duration and will be performed on a yearly basis as required. The 21)03 operation will begin approximately August 12.2003. Questions regarding this application may be forwarded to ASI: Greg Duncanson, Project Manager, Biofouling Services, 905-641-0941 email: gduncanson@asi-group.com Boarding • Daycare • Grooming • Training Register NOW for Doggy Day / Overnight Camp! 2836 Holt Road Bowmanville 905-623-3940 www.superdogs.com/edcentraI Seniors have more to smile about Seniors' Day This Thursday, July 31 Seniors with a Shoppers Optimum Card™ Save 20%* Seniors also receive a FREE copy of the Toronto Start DRUG MART ' Discounts apply to our regular prices on all merchandise purchased by seniors and thuir accompanying family mornticrs. kxcludes salo Items, proscriptions, products with codeine, stamps, lottery tickets, event tickets, transit tickets, Electronic Bill Cards and prepaid phono cards, Discounts may not exceed 'f.5U, See store lor details.
