_iform = or Hot Springs gets permit. TERRACE — After a series of delays and con- sultations the Mount Layton Hotsprings Re- sort has been given per- mission to discharge treated effluent into the waters of Lakelse Lake. A permit was issued Sept. 2 by the B.C. Waste Management Branch over the sig- Mature of regional manager Ron Driedger. by Michael Kelly The initial design for the sewage treatment system was rejected due to concern about phos- phorus levels in the final discharge. The approved design includes provision for the addition of alum in the first stage of treat- ment, a modification that Driedger said will reduce phosphorus con- tent to around two parts per million and help precipitate a portion of the suspended solids in the sewage. ‘‘This will be the highest quality treat- ment plant in the entire northern region,’’ Dried- ger said. In-its final form the facility will take the raw sewage from the hot springs complex, add alum to it and feed the sewage into a concrete settlement enclosure similar to a large septic tank. Liquid from the first treatment stage will be flushed into facul- tative lagoons where it will be held for 60 days and subjected to a breakdown process by micro-organisms. The last stage will be filtra- tion through a cattail pond. The permit specifies a maximum discharge of 30 cubic meters per day, and monitoring of ef- fluent quality will be done monthly at two points. Phosphorus con- tent will be checked at the alum floculation tank discharge, and the final effluent will be tested for biochemical oxygen demand (nutrient loading), suspended solids, phosphorus, and fecal coliform count. Testing will be done by the Waste Management Branch office in Smithers from samples taken by hot springs per- sonnel, The permit does not specify maximum con- tent of either fecal col- phosphorus content in the final ef- fluent. Driedger explain- Money Saver A shower flow restrictor can save up to 10 cents a shower by cutting water consumption and the amount of electricity needed toheat the water. ed that there is some dif- ficulty in setting limits due to variable dilution in the lagoons by rain- fall, the possible eéx- istence of natural phosphorus in the hot springs water, and the confirmed presence of coliform bacteria from other sources in the lake. The dregs from the alum tank will have to be pumped out periodically and trucked away to an approved disposal site. A proposal to use sludge from the sewage plant as fertilizer on a nearby tree farm license was discuss- ed‘at a meeting in Ter- race Sept. 9, but reports indicate the plan may -have limited feasibility. Gord Sluggett, a forester from Terrace’s Skeena Sawmills, stated after the meeting that the effluent may be so clean it would be useless as fertilizer. The permit may be ap- pealed up to 21 days after the date of issue, but Dreidger said the deadline will be flexible in view of the fact that the terms were not made public until a week after it was issued, Maureen McGuire (left) and Lols Stoner are the Terrace co- ordinators for Job Re-entry, a program to help women develop amployment skills.
