Dear Sir:

i

: Re: Application for a Permit Under the
Pollution Control Act, 1967 (Effluent)
! - Esco Limited.

Reference is made to the above mentioned application, copies of

: which are attached hereto. This application has been investigated by the

City's Environmental Protection Sub~committee and considered by the City Council
: at the regular Council Meeting held Monday, August 6th, 1973 and I have been
directed to forward the following comments for your consideration:

1. The temperature and pH limits on the application are
quite broad. The City assumes that should problems arise because of this, the
limits will be reduced accordingly.

2. The discharge from the foundry has been noted to be
extremely discolored possibly due to the high tron content from Esco's well water
supply. The ditch along the North side of Kingsway to which the effluent discharges
eventually runs through a semi-rural residential area of the City. It is requested
that you consider requiring sufficient treatment of this discolored effluent to
meet aesthetically acceptable standards.

Yours truly,

i R.A. Freeman
