Restriction on Fish & Wildlife Consumption
|
|
* Virtual elimination and zero discharge of persistent toxins.
* Eliminate fish consumption restrictions.
|
|
|
Degradation of Fish and Wildlife Population
|
|
* Promote self-sustaining population of indigenous species.
* Prevent invasion of foreign organisms.
* Fish and wildlife populations should not differ from surrounding area.
|
|
|
Degradation of Benthos
|
|
* Atmospheric inputs should not adversely impact aquatic biota.
* Benthic communities should not differ from surrounding areas.
* Elimination of toxins and contaminants in aquatic organisms.

Restrictions on Dredging Activities
|
|
Continued use of harbour for discharge if under environmentally controlled
conditions.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
|
Issues:
|
|
Mercury contaminated material was removed from a former chlor-alkali plant
& safely disposed
|
|
Secondary treatment of effluent at Kraft pulp mill eliminated dioxins and furans
|
|
Studies are on-going to determine the extent and depth of mercury
contamination. Bioaccumulation studies will determine if there is a need for
dredging.
