Remedial Action Plan

The investigation of actions for the remediation of Hamilton Harbour has focussed largely on the traditional “end of the pipe” solutions to the problems of municipal wastewater treatment. This paper attempts to place one “at source” solution, water demand management, into the context of the remedial action plan. Fully developed relationships between volumes of water usage and the quality of sewage treatment facility effluent have not yet received an adequate degree of investigation. Nevertheless, ample evidence is available to suggest that water demand management is the most cost effective method for the remedial action of municipal water pollution for Hamilton Harbour.

Remedial Action Plan

Abstract Much work remains to be done in the implementation and restoration of the beneficial-use phase of the Great Lakes Remedial Action Plans. As plans were being made to reduce nutrient loads at many Areas of Concern, other plans to accommodate population growth were occurring. Population 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 Remedial Action Plan goals and water quality responses in Hamilton Harbour. Data on Hamilton Harbour show that phosphorus in the water responds well to load reductions. Moreover, the response of water quality indicators, chlorophyll and Secchi transparency is consistent with expectations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development worldwide relationships. Thus, there is little doubt that proposed expansion of the sewage treatment plant would harm the harbour or that the Remedial Action Plan 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.
