Budget-ary guidelines for all committees has been sub-mitted and discussed, Money h_asbeen allocated

., for legal advice on.two committees - "Philosophy,Objectives and Duties of the Public Health Inspec-tor" and the "Committee on Licensing and Regis-tration",

The use of advertising has been ap-proved for our "Newsletter" - you,should see thefirst,of it,in this issue. We hope to improvethis publication so that our members will becomemore involved,in our"efforts and we also intendto reach the non-memberso

The institute is anxious to makeBoards of Health aware of the availability of theAdministrative Certificate and suggest that it bemade a requirement for the hiring of senior per-sonnel,

Art Ruggles attended our recent meet-ing and gave us a detailed plan of the conferencefor you in September. They apparently have Quitea few treats in store for-us so plan to attendwe should have more details on •thisbit of north-ern hospitality shortly_

The cover picture Shows millions of dollars worth of whiskey ....in its five year storage. The following story explains the process.You might ask how this type of operation concerns a Health Inspect-or as there are very few areas that cause trouble. Most largefactories have staff facilities such as lunch rooms, vendingmachine areas, and washrooms that require inspection. In this par-ticular operation, the primary grain delivery and grinding closelyresembles the large flour mills. And if all this is not interest-ing enough, then who could deny that a large percentage of P.H.I.'sare interested in the final product.

Mr. Ron Ralph, vice-president, gave us a tour of the operationand supplied the following write-up.

On the shores of Georgian Bay in Collingwood, Ontario is oneof the most modern and efficient distilling operations in thecountry -- the Canadian Mist Distillers Limited plant. •

The plantois located on a 60-acre site and represents an in-vestment Of $8,000,000. In 1966, when Collingwood was selectedas the site for construction of the Canadian Mist Distilling plant,the area was economically depressed. With Canadian Mist in theforefront, additional industries have located in Collingwood,greatly improving the economic and employment climate of both townand country.

Ground for the distillery was broken in late October 1966,and original plans called for a production capability of amillion and a half gallons per year. Early in the constructionphase, alterations for increased production were made, and,distillery capacity was more than doubled to 3.3 million gallonsper year. The sucess of Canadian Mist dictated additional ex-pansion a year later and the plant now has a capacity of produc-ing more than _ million gallons per year.

The distillery is probably the most modern and efficient inthe world today° Virtually fully-automated, production processesboth in the distillery and in the spent grain recovery plant areelectronically controlled with very little manual work required°

As to the technical aspects, the grain is ground in hammermills and cooked in a continuous cooker, then vacuum cooled tofermentation temperature and fermented under temperature con-tr_lled conditions. ....

The control is effected by external coolers. The fermentedmash is distilled in two distillation systems consisting of fourdistillation columns each°

The spent mash is dried in direct fire driers and the sus-pended and dissolved solids are concentrated to a thick syrup ina long tube multiple effect evaporator. The resultant productis sold as high protein animal feed. The plant has also just re-cently installed an absorber to solve the problems of any odorswhich originated from the drying operation. The absorber is thefirst of its kind in the distilling industry.

Did you know that:

I. The firm of James F. McLaren Limited has been employed by theMinistry of the Environment, Private Waste and Water }_nage-ment Branch, to prenare an engineering report and recommend-ations on the subject of sewage haulage.The report will deal wit_ the design of holding tank and coll-ection vehicle systems, and the types of controls and reg-ulations which will be required to ensure the satisfactoryoperation of the service°Questionaires are being distributed to Contractors in theprovince of Ontario who deal specifically with these systemsto gain knowledge from their experience.

2. The Private Waste and Water _anagement Branch of the Ministryof the Environment are carrying out a Tracer Study Programme.Test sites will be located in Simcoe County, Ontario Countyand Muskoka.

PURPOSE AND _THOD OF TRACER STUDY

The purpose of the study is to develop and establish pro-cedures for the application of organic dyes and radioactive is-otopes in effluents discharging from septic tanks and for tracingthem during their passage through subsurface disposal systems in-to the ground water and lakes_ The study is directed to determinethe effect of some parameters, such as the distance of the tilefield from the lake or river, the soil quality, the flow rate ofthe septic tank effluent before it reaches the lake water.

Additional purpose of the study is to develop a simple andconvenient method for classifying satisfactory and unsatisfactoryworking sewage disposal systems.

Tracing is a technique of introducing substances to the"effluent, and detecting them in low concentrations by visual,chemical or radiological means so that the movement of effluentsthrough soil and ground water can be determined.

Two kinds of tracers are used to observe such movement:Organic dyes possessing fluorescent properties e.g. SodiumFluorescein or Rhodamine and radioactive tracers like Tritium orradioactive Phosphorus.

The tests for detecting dye are carried out in the field by

C y -Toronto. Bacteriological Tests are carried out by the RegionalPublic Health Labs, and Chemical tests by the Laboratory ServicesBranch of the Ministry of Environment (Toronto - Resources Road),

CONDENSED MINUTES OF MEETING OF ONTARIO BRANCH CO_ITTEE,TORONTO, NOVEMBER 251 1972.

Chairman: President J. Watt

Present: R. DeBurger E. WhitesideR. Paquette G. SkipwithP. Barton D. AndersonW. Wright C. Glen

Minutes of last meeting were read and adopted as corrected.

Business From These Minutesi

- Salary survey has been sent to members.- Letter has been sent to Civil Service Comm. re: Technicians

using C.P.H.I.(C) after their names.- Following letter sent to Premier Davis.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister:

On August 2_th, 1971, the Honourable A.B.R. Lawrence, thenMinister of Health; and the Honourable George Kerr, then Ministerof the Environment, jointly announced the transfer of respon-sibility for the inspection of private sewage disposal systemsfrom the Department of Health to the Department of the Environment.

It was announced that Section VII of the Environmental Pro-tection Act, 1971, would be implemented and would be proclaimed on

a regional basis. To date this has not happened.The result of that meeting and in particular the apparent

indecision of government with regard to this matter since haveresulted in the virtual curtailment of planning and implementationof needed new programmes to solve sewage disposal problems ex-perienced by Ontario citizens, particularly those owning propertyon water front or in the numerous unserviced hamlets.

To cite an example, the use of "holding tanks" could beapproved on properties severed or developed prior to the estab-lishment of Land Divison Committees and subdivision control;propertnies which because of size, slope or physical characteris-tics cannot support the function of a conventional septic tanksystem. However, before '_holding tanks" which must be pumpedat frequent intervals can be approved, studies must be made todetermine: gallonage flows, the desira_ity oforeduced flow plumb_ing fixtures, suitable off-site disposal areas, cost of operation,necessary agreements and necessary involvement of local government.

It can be appreciated that until the issue of responsibilityis finally announced by Queen's Park, very little progress islikely in finalizing a sound solution to the many problems.

I respectfully submit that an early decision by the OntarioGovernment is essential, if the people of this province are to beadequately served. The increasing number of persons pressuring

health agencies for alternative solutions is indicative of the need.

Yours truly,

James M. Watt, President,Ontario Branch.

The following letter was received from Premier Davis:

Dear Mr. Watt:

Thank you.for your letter of October _th on behalf of the"Ontario Branch, Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors,regarding the inspection of private sewage disposal systems.

As you know, when the Municipal-Provincial Liaison Committeewas established, one of its tasks was to study and make recommend-ations on a variety of inspections. The committee has submittedits report for the consideration of the Government and it has beenreviewed by Cabinet committees I anticipate that it will sooncome to full Cabinet for a final decision.

I appreciate the interest of the Canadian Institute of PublicHealth Inspectors in the control of private sewage systems. Yourmembers in Ontario have had an important role in these inspectionsin the past, and I have no doubt that those with experience inthis field will be sought out be whatever agencies are made re-sponsible.

Yours sincerely,

William G. Davis.
