Page 11, News, Tuesday, July 30, 1991 Improvements at Schreiber tran Continued from page 2 tires of trucks before they leave the site, * covering concentrate piles with properly secured tarps, and * an investigation of han- dling methods that would entirely avoid placing concen- trates on the ground. While airborne metal levels in Schreiber meet: Ministry health-based air quality objec- tives, the MOE study said citi- zen complaints continue to be received and "there is evidence that the ore dust is at least causing a nuisance effect on residential properties near the ore trans-shipment site." CP Rail has recently replaced the gravel at the site and the concentrate is now left on the pad no more than an hour. Andy Clark, CP Rail Termi- nal Supervisor at Schreiber said there is now on site operation clean up every day to keep the The biggest improvement is going to be the new contrac- tor," he said. With the container system there should be no spillage and the dust volume should be cut down considerably, he said. The old system of transport- ing the mineral concentrates allowed for some spillage which contaminated the first few inches of gravel. In a heavy rain that contamination could go down as far as 3-4 inches, Clark said. The first three inches of gravel were removed from the loading site and replaced with new compacted gravel. The contaminated gravel was shipped to the tailing pond at the mine. "Once the new container system is in place gravel replacement will take place less often." Calcium was put down on the gavel to help keep the dust in place and bagged calcium is on hand at the entrance to keep s-Shipment site the dust down where the trucks have been tracking it. McLarty said one reason for loading inside a building at the mine is to keep the concen- trates from blowing around in the area, getting on the trucks and tracking on the road. The MOE study said that contamination dispersion along the highway probably occurred through suspension concen- trates spilled near the entrance to the trans-shipment site. The water used to wash the pad down is collected in a holding tank which is pumped out and taken to the tailings pond at the mine. "You'll still get a little bit of a dust problem but it should be cut down by about 85 per cent [with the new container sys- tem]." Clark said. dust down. A t Talk ASS by Alice Scott Proper nutrition can make the difference between owning a healthy pet or one that is always at the veterinarian's. A dog or cat that doesn't receive the correct diet during. the early stages in. its development can cost you highly in veterinarian bills. Now that we have a local pet store where excellent food can be purchased, beside the choices in the local grocery stores, there is no reason that your pet shouldn't receive a premium quality food. 'Purina' pet food has had a long history of quality food. They have now gone into the higher digestibility category that many other companies already have. "Nutro Max' has an excellent food that is chicken and lamb meal based instead of soya based. This food has a higher digestibility concentration of poly-unsaturate: than many foods and has a high d fatty acids and essential vita- mins and minerals that help your animals skin and coat. 'Science Diet' is another pet food highly recommended by many veterinari- ans. It doesn't have a soya base. This helps provide better digestibility. Remember, you may pay ten dollars more for a bag of good pet food but you could pay hundreds of dollars for health problems. So feed vour pet proverlv.
