Fraser River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop TSS and BOD loadings appeared to have decreased in five of the seven mills while production increased or remained relatively constant in all seven mills. Additional analysis of pulp mill effluent data are presented in the table below: Table 1 - Pulp Mill Parameter % Changes from 1989 to 1995 Mill Name % Reduction - BOD % Reduction - TSS % Increase - Loading Loading Production Canadian Forest Products -30 -18 15 Cariboo Pulp and Paper 48 84 -4 Crown Packaging 42 12 6 Northwood Pulp and Timber 10 21 28 Quesnel River Pulp Co. 48 2 10 Scott Paper Ltd. +29 42 -10 Weyerhauser (Kamloops) -13 63 4 A preliminary assessment of pulp mill effluent data retrieved from Envirodat indicated there may have been a reduction of up to 30% in TSS and a 20% reduction in BOD from December 1988 to November 1995. Concurrently, there may have been an increase in pulp production of up to 7% in the mills for the same time span. Envirodat and WWDAT will be used to estimate the pollutant load from industrial discharges for the period of 1990 to 1998. As most waste management program permit holders, with the exception of the pulp and paper industry, are only required to monitor BOD, TSS and flow, quantitative assessment of temporal trends will only be performed for relatively few parameters (i.e., flow, BOD, TSS, production, dioxins and furans). Data stored in Envirodat can be used by decision makers and researchers to make more informed choices in the management of the Fraser River basin. Efforts are currently being made to link Envirodat with Arcview, a geographic information system (GIS), to produce a tool which will be able to locate point source discharges and their associated loadings. The resulting tool will be able to demonstrate temporal loading changes and the geographic differences in pollutant loadings throughout the Fraser River basin. Concurrently, efforts are being made to collect more industrial effluent monitoring data from provincial government regional offices to provide a more complete view of industrial pollutant loadings to the Fraser River. The Fraser River Point Source Inventory is an inventory of all municipal and industrial point source effluent discharges authorized under Waste Management Permit within the Fraser basin. FRPSI includes information on the discharge name, location, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, wastewater treatment type, authorized flow rates, concentration and toxicity limits. Data for FRPSI were obtained from B.C. Ministry of Environment, Land and Parks (MOELP) databases as well as the Federal Facilities Environmental Activities Database (FFEAD). Permit listings were compiled for each MOELP regional office and missing data were photocopied and entered manually. Data were divided geographically into four regions and 13 sub-basins of the Fraser basin in order to provide a more meaningful geographic estimation of pollutant loadings. Data summaries can be generated by region, sub-basin, key parameters and major SIC codes. It should be noted that results from FRPSI are not actual pollutant loadings but the maximum allowable loadings as defined in provincial waste permits. Page 7
