In Ontario, the legal mechanism is the Environ- - mental Protection Act adopted in 1971. Since then more than 200 industries have been brought before the courts to answer charges which call for fines up to $10,000 for each violation. ; Legal action is usually initiated by the Ontario Ministry of the Environ- ment following a complete investigation of a citizen's - complaint or a Ministry surveillance. Citizens' testimony is sometimes sufficient in getting a prosecution but in most cases the extensive resources of the Ministry are required. They include a staff of engineers and environ- mental officers Environment Ontario's six regional and 24 district offices across the province. And~ to apply those resources in a legal frame- work, Environment Ontario employs four lawyers who spend up to two months in the careful preparation of evidence necessary in a successful prosecution. "Backed by the technical from NOVEMBER 3, 1976 The environmental land resources of our Ministry, we've' 'managed to obtain convictions in more than 80 per cent of our actions, explains Linda McCaffrey, one of the Ministry's legal staff. 'But the number of cases won or the number of dollars collected in fines isn't the whole picture -- the name of the game is still cleanup." And often the best approach to that action is the legal authority of a control order, a schedule of pollution -- control under- taken by an industry with strict Supervision by the Ministry. Currently, major Ontario companies are under more than 15 control orders with various cleanup deadlines during the next two years. The control order is' a blueprint for co-operation as Environment Minister George Kerr said recently, a firm and stable found- ation for the working relationship between in- dustry and government. And, if an industry fails to keep its commitment to the cleanup plan, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment will not hesitate to seek prosec- ution. Two hundred convictions in the past five years bear testimony to that fact.
