10-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 28th, 1980 The land as a polluter Professional interesting angle to the argu- f ments for preserving prime àgricultural lands. Since intensive intensive row-cropping on marginal marginal lands with poor drainage drainage and steep hillsides increases increases polluted run-off, the. IJC suggests that saving our best farmlands can help save the Great Lakes as well. They also note the importance of natural wetlands as biological filters to trap sediment and nutrients before they reach the lakes. All this doesn't lessen our need to tackle major polluters Such as nickel refineries or pulp and paper plants: But this latest study does emphasize emphasize the importance of the thousands of little sources that together represent a large pollution problem, and that can only be controlled by the individual responsibility of you and I.

But quiet countrysides and suburban suburban neighbourhoods can be polluters too. According to a recent report by the International International Joint Commission, this pollution from land usé activities is much more important than previously thought. For example, from one- third to one-half of the phosphorous pollution in the Great Lakes, where it causes algae problems and depleted oxygen, comes from these, dispersed "non-point" sources sources rather than from factories or sewage treatment plans. The IJC Report highlights two land uses of particular importance - intensive farming farming on clay soils, and urban developments under construction. construction. Both theseactivities tend to produce run-off of phosphorous-laden phosphorous-laden sediment, which is carried downstream to the Great Lakes. As well, this sediment often is contaminated contaminated by heavy metals such as lead or mercury, or with other toxic chemicals such as pesticide residues. For urban areas, the Commission Commission recommends regulations regulations to prevent developers from stripping all the soil from sites under construction along with improved erosion control measures. For farmland, farmland, the emphasis is on education and voluntary erosion erosion control, since the sediment sediment and nutrients that pollute the lakes also represent represent an expensive loss of topsoil and fertilizer to the fàrmers involved.
