Water containing up to this level may be permitted for continuous use for all purposes e.g., domestic supplies. In my opinion short-term fluctuations may be permitted above this level. As a guide the fluctuations should not exceed three times this limit and should not persist any longer than 30 days in any 6 months period. 0.05 - 0.2 For summer camp use and for summer cottagers the desirable level would still be 0.05 mg/L. In my opinion short-term consumption of levels up to 0.2 may be permitted for periods of 2 to 8 weeks by summer cottagers and campers. 1.0 Water containing this level should be rejected for human consumption. A SUMMARY REPORT OF ARSENIC LEVELS FOUND IN THE MOIRA RIVER WATERSHED APRIL 1970 INTRODUCTION The Ontario Department of Health, the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company Limited, and the Ontario Water Resources Commission have all Analysed samples from the Moira River for arsenic.

Stoco Lake is frequently affected by nuisance algal 22 blooms (including cyanobacteria), which have largely been attributed to cultural eutrophication. 23 To further our understanding of the environmental dynamics of Stoco Lake, we applied 24 paleolimnological techniques to examine long-term trends in subfossil invertebrate assemblages, 25 geochemistry, and inferred trends in whole-lake primary production from a sediment core 26 representing ~70 years of environmental history. We examined past trends in Simuliidae 27 abundance, geochemical variables, and historical river flow records to examine past hydrological 28 conditions in Stoco Lake. Inferred whole-lake primary production and sediment core organic 29 content increased between the late 1950s and early 1970s, likely reflecting increased 30 eutrophication (e.g.

Major sources of pollution include arsenic contamination originating from the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company. Limited at Deloro cooling water and process wastes from the H. Corby Distillery Limited at Corbyville and partially-treated domestic wastes from the villages of Tweed and Madoc. Bottom fauna and water for routine chemical analyses were collected at 46 river stations and at a total of 38 stations on Moira Lake and Stoco Lake.
