Gaunt recommends
that the outflow point of
the sewage system be
monitored for coliform
bacteria, and he states
that the coliform count
should not be higher
than the average count in

the lake waters. At a-

public meeting on the
subject May 22 engineer
Wynn Hobson was not
able to specify the col-
iform count expected
from the treated ef-
fluent; he did remark,
however, ‘‘I would bathe

in it, but I wouldn't ad-.

vise anyone to drink it.”’
Environment section
representative Brian
Wilkes later indicated
that the ministry stan-
dard for swimming or
bathing is a coliform
count of less than 200
cells per. millilitre.
Gaunt’s recommenda-

tions specify a maximum’

count of 10 cells per
millilitre.

At the May 22
meeting, .Wynn Hobson,
engineer for the project,
suggested that the
developer would be will-
ing to disinfect the ef-
fluent with either
chlorination or ozona-
tion. Hobson stated that
the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans
forbade any chlorine
content in the treated
discharge, but he ex-
pressed an assumption
that the cattails would

Associations, all the pro-
fessional nursing
organizations, in Canada
and a multitude of other
health care bodies.

The most recent study
concerning fluoridation
in Canada, Zucchiatti
said, was done by the
Canadian Dental
Association in May,
1985. He quoted the
report as stating, ‘‘the
addition of fluoride at
one part per million is a
safe, beneficial, cost-
effective way of preven-
ting dental caries’’. He
then compared the cost

of dental repairs, which

frequently amount to
several hundred dollars,
to the cost of preventive
fluoridation at a few
cents per capita in an-
nual taxes,

With regard to the im-
mediate health hazard of
fluoridation, Zucchiatti
contended that the
average child seven or
eight years of age would
have to consume more

the tertiary treatment
stage.

The Waste Manage-
ment Branch came under
criticism by regional
district chairman Les
Watmough and director
Gordon Robinson for
poor organization of the
May 22 public meeting.
A motion was carried by
the regional district
board to call for a public
hearing which will in-
clude representatives
from the Waste Manage-
ment Branch, .the
Department of Fisheries
and Oceans and -the
Ministry of Health.

Director Mike Corbeil
expressed a more general
concern at the lack of a
comprehensive manage-
ment policy for Lakelse
Lake. After discussion
among board members,
the regional district ad-
ministration was directed
to prepare a report on
the cost of an engineer-
ing study with regard to
installing a complete
water and sewerage

system for all residential

areas of the lake. A
deadline date for the
report was not specified.
Corbeil also suggested
that administration look
into the possibility of a
cost-sharing arrange-
ment with the provincial
‘government, and he cited
previous examples of
such arrangements in the
Okanagan and the Gulf
Islands.

than 400 litres of water

lethal dose of the
substance.

In her reply to Zuc--

chiatti’s presentation,
Schoenfeld stated that
she was not contesting
the beneficial effects of
fluoridation on child-
ren’s dental health. She
did, however, argue
that the blanket dispens-
ing of fluoride in the
municipal water is unfair
to residents who are con-
vinced that the chemical
is harmful. She pointed
out that if the treatment
were terminated, in-
dividuals who wish to
continue consuming
fluoride have the option
of obtaining it in treated
toothpastes, mouth-
washes and other com-
monly available com-
mercial products.

Mayor Jack Talstra
declared the discussion
to be closed, and Ald.
Bob Jackman suggested
that Schoenfeld and any
other group or in-
dividuals objecting to the
fluoridation treatment
express their concerns to
the Skeena Union Board
of Health. Jackman said
that the board would be
able to evaluate the mat-
ter and make any
necessary recommenda-
tions to council.

The brief states that
up to this point the
coastal forest areas have
been considered ‘‘un-
manageable’ for com-
mercial timber regrowth
due to the difficulty of
controlling the fast-
growing and hardy
multistoried brush which
tends to squeeze out con-
ifer species. This experi-
ment is designed to test
the forest service’s abili-
ty to suppress the
undesired growth.
