Most of you know that if you do have any problems with my equipment for whatever reason, credit is given immediately and without question. For some other business to make derogatory statements about another in- dicates, to me, a lack of confidence in their own products. Sincerely S. Clyde Gordon owner/manager of The Lobby Dee was conducted in July 1983." When contacted by the News last week, one of the four people responsible for sending the release, Jake Vander Wal of the Thunder Bay MOE office, admitted that the study was indeed started a number of years ago, with routine monitor- ing taking place over four years. He explained the delay be saying "by the time all the results come in, the draft report would be com- pleted about a year ago, sent out for review, and then redrafted." He added the release has "no connection to any other news,' possibly referring to the recent an- nouncement of serious economic problems at the Terrace Bay mill. "Such reports often take a couple of years to come out," he said. Vander Wal serves as the Ministry's Northwestern Ontario Chief of Water Resources Assessment Unit.

He' refused, though, to rank K- C's effluent toxicity with that from the other mills. '*They fluctuate a lot," he explained. In any case, there is a problem and he expects the company to deal with it eventually, or the conse- quences could be severe.
