NATURALISTS WOODS, WATER AND WILDLIFE » By Mike Sin plot an A new water pollution abatement policy, announced by Environment Minister Jim Bradley last week, is Ontario's most important advance in water pollution control in 25 years. , For decades, Ontario's philosophical basis has effectively been to allow discharge of as much pollutant as a waterway can assimilate without 'becoming ; ' tick'. nder the new policy, the goal will be "the virtual elimination of persistent, toxic substances from discharges into Ontario's water- Agri-News Marlene /Werry Appointed to Ministry Staff Mrs. Marlene Werry has been apointed as Rural Organization Specialist (Agriculture) serving the counties of Durham East and Durham West from the Bowman- ville Office.

Durham Holstein Club Happenings Recently the classifier from' the Holstein Assoc, completed his visit to Durham County., Two cows were classified EXCELLENT, a category that puts them in the top .2 per cent of the breed. The two cowS were bred and owned by Frank Barkey, Enfield, with the 5-year old Altona Lea Tempo Beth, who was Reserve Grand Champion at the Durham County Show in 1985 and by Wilsona Farm, Tyrone, with the six-year old Wilsona Rockman Ter- rie. Congratulations to these two breeders on their fine achievement. Annual Twilight Meeting The Durham Holstein Club is holding their annual Twilight Meeting at the farm of Neil & Shelley Allin in Orono. The B.B.Q. is beef and pork, and commences at 6:00 p.m. on July 30th. Tickets can ' ways." The importance of this philosophical basis cannot be overstated. Under the old approach, approach, Ontario, basically, moved to curb or reduce contaminant discharges - or to merely dilute them further - only when obvious problems developed. And the level of pollution at which /things became unstuck' became a matter for eternal debate - was it- the level at which fish contained contaminants, contaminants, or only when everÿ last creature died? The old approach has been seriously flawed in other ways, too. With 500 chemicals being developed or introduced to the industrial ■ repertoire each year, all can't be ex- • haustively tested - for long-term effects, effects, for concentration in the food chain or for synergystic effects with other chemcials. PCBs provide a case in point. In widespread use for nearly 50 years as a transformer coolant, they were assumed to be basically innocuous if 'diluted' and were regularly disposed Of - in dumps, by washing spills into sewers and even, mixed with waste oil for dust spraÿjng on gravel roads. It wa^ only coincidentally - when biologists noted collapse of gull reproduction that the full risk became deaf. Although you, I and everyone alive now has PCBs in their system, we were fortunate that the gull collapse forwarned us of serious problems-, and led to stringent stringent controls. The. new policy will, basically, assume that toxic chemicals are going going to pose problems, and work for their elimination, rather than holding emissions just below the leyel expected to produce problems. This is precisely the change which , the Federation of Ontario Naturalists has been advocating - By John E. Finlay Agricultural Representative be obtained from the Holstein directors for $7.00 for adults - Children 6-12 years of age $8.00 and children under 6 are free. Tickets purchased at the B.B.Q. will be $8.00. There will be a milk- - ing contest, a class to judge and entertainment, so join your neighbours for an enjoyable evening evening on the 30th.

Demonstrations Demonstrations on clipping, showing and practice on those arts will be available. Participants in the pre-4-H Show - children 8-12 - are invited to this event. Horticultural Report By Ben Schumacher, Horticultural Crop Advisor Strawberries The strawberry harvest is well underway. All pick-your-own operations are open and offering an abundant supply of fresh strawberries strawberries for your eating pleasure. A few of the pick-your-own operations also have peas available. Many pick-your-own operations offer a coded phone message with picking times and field conditions. Before venturing out to a pick-your-owrl farm, phone ahead. The- main strawberry harvest: should last another week with some operations expected to be open a little little longer. Raspberries The raspberry harvest should begin about the second week of July. July. An average crop yield is expected. expected. Apples The excellent growing season this spring has resulted in extremely vigorous vegetation growth in apple trees. Apples are also sizing rapidly. The apple crop is expected to be lighter than average this year, mostly mostly due to early spring frosts damaging damaging the flower buds. coupled with creation of state-of- the-art hazardous waste disposal facilities, and a cleanup of existing leaking dumps. There are a number of key components components to the "Municipal- Industrial Strategy for Abatement" as the new policy is called. It: - states first and foremost that the objective will be elimination of toxics toxics in discharges. - stipulates use of best available technology. Many industries, like older pulp and paper plants, are still using archaic, outdated facilities. - proposes a review cycle - the Minister has suggested every 7-10 years to FON - for updating of the technology standards. -• will require every discharger to monitor and record toxic contents of its effluent. These will be collected collected and spotchecked by the Ministry, and violators will be severely dealt with. This data will provide - for the first time - a comprehensive comprehensive picture of wastes going into Ontario's water. The Minister has separately told FON that he will be proposing legislative and regulatory amendments amendments to vastly increase polluter penalties. The approach will not produce an overnight reduction in the toxic effluents effluents which ultimately wind up in the chemcial soup we eat, breathe, drink and move in. But jt does pro? vide the direction \vhich has been so' sorely needed. With resolve by, the Government of the day to implement implement it, this policy will begin rat- chetting down the emissions which have created the present-day legacy.. It's a direction which will have .costs - for Government, industry and consumers alike. But it's also a policy that will provide for the wellbeing wellbeing .of this and future generations. generations.
