Most of you know that if you do have any problems with my equipment for whatever reason, credit is given immediately and without question. For some other business to make derogatory statements about another in- dicates, to me, a lack of confidence in their own products. Sincerely S. Clyde Gordon owner/manager of The Lobby Dee was conducted in July 1983." When contacted by the News last week, one of the four people responsible for sending the release, Jake Vander Wal of the Thunder Bay MOE office, admitted that the study was indeed started a number of years ago, with routine monitor- ing taking place over four years. He explained the delay be saying "by the time all the results come in, the draft report would be com- pleted about a year ago, sent out for review, and then redrafted." He added the release has "no connection to any other news,' possibly referring to the recent an- nouncement of serious economic problems at the Terrace Bay mill. "Such reports often take a couple of years to come out," he said. Vander Wal serves as the Ministry's Northwestern Ontario Chief of Water Resources Assessment Unit. "We have not stopped testing either." : Vander Wal insisted that K-C has not been singled better than K-C;. while - tion is $5,000. He quickly [ ROSSPORT a = Pusat - old Railroad Inn.

He' refused, though, to rank K- C's effluent toxicity with that from the other mills. '*They fluctuate a lot," he explained. In any case, there is a problem and he expects the company to deal with it eventually, or the conse- quences could be severe. "'We could lay charges under the Ontario Water Resources Act and the En- vironmental Protection Act," he said. The max- imum fine for each single occurrence upon convic- pointed out, though, that such charges are not the normal procedure. '"'We prefer to negotiate control orders and hope that's effective, "' Vander Wal said. "I believe they are expected to meet the requirements by year's end. If they don't, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." The company's release did not mention its plans for a future clean-up. Vander Wal pointed out that a number of options are available, but "the technology for treating tox- icity is extremely com- plex...we are now at the stage where they will need to investigate what kind of abatement would work.
