The sewage issue in Hamilton Harbour : implications of growth for the Remedial Action Plan / by Murray N. Charlton. : En13-5/96-89E-PDF

"Much work remains in the implementation and restoration of beneficial uses phase of Remedial Action Plans in the Great Lakes. At the same time as plans have been made to reduce nutrient loads at many Areas of Concern other plans to accommodate population growth have occurred. Growth has the potential to slow or reverse progress in eutrophication control. A recent proposal to expand one of the local sewage plants without enhancing the treatment level caused a review of RAP goals and water quality responses in Hamilton Harbour. Data on Hamilton Harbour to show that phosphorus in the water responds wellto load reductions. Moreover, the response of water quality indicators chlorophyll and Seochi transparency is consistent with expectations of OMECD worldwide relationships. Thus, there is little doubt that proposed expansion of a local sewage plant would harm the harbour or that the RAP goals can be achieved by nutrient load reductions. A new proposal to discharge the treated sewage into Lake Ontario instead of the harbour is discussed"--Abstract.
