It is quite fair to question the efficiency of this system as it affects the waters of Lake Superior. Dur- ing 1965.a team of experts toured all pulp and paper mills in Ontario and reported on the condition of effluent at all the various mills. It is significant that these experts in their report stated "this Company (Kimberly-Clark) has surpassed the O.W.R.C. (Ont- ario Water Resources Commission) objectives by a large margin".

The mill has service no subsequent indication from the O.W.R.C. that they have in any way changed their appraisal of the effluent handling system at Terrace Bay.
