Stage 1 – Addendum Report St. Clair River Remedial Action Plan Addendum Table of Contents Executive Summary Introduction Water Quality Sediment Quality Biota Sources Summary Of Data Gaps, Ongoing Programs And Surveys References List of Tables List of Figures Executive Summary This addendum report summarizes water, sediment, biota, point source and non-point source data for the St. Clair River Area of Concern (AOC) collected and/or reported subsequent to the release of the St. Clair River Remedial Action Plan Stage 1 Report (December 1991). Although the Stage 1 report incorporated some data from the 1988 through 1990 period, it primarily reflected conditions as of about 1986-87. Key data summarized in this addendum include water, sediment, and biota ambient data collected by OMOE in 1990 and 1991 as well as the results of the 12 month MISA monitoring studies for the organic and inorganic industrial sectors (1989 to 1991). In general, the 1990 and 1992 ambient data indicate significant improvements in the St. Clair River ecosystem compared to conditions reported in the Stage 1 report. In particular, the mean concentrations of most parameters in most media are lower and the number of exceedences of ambient guidelines have decreased. Chemicals which have reduced concentrations and fewer guideline exceedences include cadmium, chromium, zinc, oil and grease, total PCBs and OCS. In addition, the extent of the "impaired" and "degraded" zones in the river, based on benthic macroinvertebrate community structure, have been substantially reduced. However, impairments to beneficial uses continue to occur in the St. Clair River AOC. The industrial and municipal outfalls along the Sarnia/Chemical Valley waterfront, as well as the Cole Drain and Talfourd Creek, continue to be implicated as major sources of contaminants to the St. Clair River. This is shown by the close association of elevated concentrations of, and guideline exceedences by, nutrients, metals and non-pesticide organic contaminants (primarily PAHs, dioxins, furans, HCB, OCS, total phenols, bis-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate, oil and grease, and several volatiles) in most media along this waterfront relative to upstream and downstream locations. The Point Edward and Sarnia Water Pollution Control Plants have been identified as the most significant sources of fecal and other types of bacteria. Sarnia CSOs were also identified as an important wet weather source. Contaminants which generally have shown little or no reductions from 1985/86 to 1990/91 include fecal bacteria, ammonia, total phosphorus, iron, lead, copper and zinc. Mean mercury and total PCB concentrations show substantial declines, particularly in sediments, however, the number of sediment guideline exceedences for mercury has not changed. Over the same time period, the mean concentration of HCB in sediments has increased by 3 times (based on same station comparisons). In addition, the more recent data have found relatively high concentrations of PCDDs (dioxins) and PCDFs (furans) in both sediments and some industrial effluents. HCB, PCDD and PCDF sediment concentrations were highest along the Ontario shoreline in the reach from downstream of the Cole Drain, adjacent to Novacor Chemicals (Sarnia), to downsteam of Dow Chemical's 3rd Street Sewer. The greatest loadings of HCB are contributed by the Cole Drain and Dow Chemical. PCDDs and PCDFs were measured in the effluent from Dow Chemical, Chinook Chemicals and DuPont. Sections 1.1 through 1.3 summarize the date, location and degree of guideline exceedences based on data collected from 1989 through 1991. Section 1.4 summarizes the non-point and point source data for the same period. Section 1.5 provides an updated table showing the impairments to beneficial uses based on Table 1.1/7.1 presented in the Stage 1 document.

The only exception was seven monthly exceedences of the suspended solids limits at Novacor Chemicals, Mooretown. In addition, effluents from eight facilities (Dow, DuPont, Esso Chemicals, Ethyl, ICI Nitrogen, Ontario Hydro, Novacor Chemicals-Mooretown and Polysar) were found to be non-lethal to rainbow trout. The only exception was one of nine bioassays using Polysar's combined (outfall #200) effluent, however, an OMOE audit sample was determined not to be acutely lethal.

    APRIL 14, 2015 Page 1 of 93 11. C.23 - CW INFO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 25, 2015 Pettapiece presents Network Southwest plan to transport minister (Queen’s Park) – When it comes to improved local transportation options, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece wants to get the province on board. Today in the legislature, Pettapiece presented Steven Del Duca, Ontario’s transportation minister, with a copy of the Network Southwest plan unveiled March 18 in St. Marys. “I explained to the minister how important this is to many in our community,” said Pettapiece. “He was very receptive,” he added. The MPP also wrote to the minister on behalf of the 86 people who signed postcards to support the Network Southwest plan. He presented all the postcards directly to the minister along with a full copy of the plan. The postcards state: “High quality intercity transportation, based on rail and bus, is a necessity of any modern nation. Southwestern Ontario has a particular need, due to high road congestion, population density and diverse economic activity.” They also call for a definitive study on the concept plan as outlined by Network Southwest. Pettapiece has written and spoken many times about the importance of improved transportation options – and, in particular, the need to extend GO transit service through Perth-Wellington. Last year the MPP took the extra step of submitting an Order Paper question on the Premier’s stated intention of extending GO transit service to our riding. Pettapiece was not pleased by the response, which made no mention of rural transportation challenges, focusing instead on the government’s promises for the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area.
