This study will answer a num- ber of questions which will assist the PAC and the RAP Team in selecting remedial options to restore the water quality and aquatic habitat of Jackfish Bay. There were five specific questions put to the consultant. These.are: * Are the historic contami- nants in Blackbird Creek and its associated lakes contribut- ing to the overall toxic/contam- inant load to Lake Superior? If so, where are the sources and how significant are they. * If the pollutants, contained within the sediments of Black- bird Creek and its associated lakes, were to remain in place, for what period of time would they continue to contribute to the Lake Superior contaminant load? * What remedial options are available to assist in the natural recovery of Blackbird Creek and its associated lakes and what are the costs of each option? In the 1984 feasibility study of outfall alternatives, prepared for Kimberly-Clark of Canada Ltd., five options were pro- posed for effluent dispersion. The costs estimated. foreach option in this report were based upon 1984 dollars and con- struction methods. What costs would be essential with each option based upon current mar- ket conditions? * Assuming that Kimberly- Clark of Canada Ltd. were to cease discharging effluent into Blackbird Creek system, how long would it take for the sys- tem to recover to background conditions (sediment and Water)? The study has been complet- ed and will be circulated for PAC review in early August. The PAC has also had the opportunity to review some introductory information regarding question four and a Preliminary Baseline Study of Vegetation and Rehabilitation Potential. This study outlines the use of wetlands as a clean- ing system for Blackbird con- taminants. The PAC will be meeting to discuss this report on August 8, 7 p.m. at Birchwood Terrace in Terrace Bay. This meeting will become the first in a series of meetings where the PAC will review options and recommend what action will best achieve the water use goals for Jackfish Bay. PAC meetings are always open to the public. Two local high school students attend summer science school Kerry Robinson and Francis Maltais from Lake Superior High School joined the North- em Summer School of Science and Technology at Lakehead University During the month of July the two students stayed at Lake- head University and studied science. The course, sponsored by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, involves students from North- western Ontario and introduces them to different branches of science such as biology, chem- istry, physics, mathematics, geology forestry and engineer- ing. Students enjoy 'University Life' The students spent the month in Lakehead's residence, enjoying what many of them describe as University Life. Seven days a week the students worked hard in lectures, field trips and labs but are well rewarded with new knowledge for the fast paced technical world they live in. Francis Maltais says, "In Grade 2 my parents smiled when I said I wanted to be a doctor, my friends in Grade 8 laughed; now as I enter Grade 12 no one laughed. I perse- vered and I am still proving to them my dream. I am deter- mined and I will succeed." At the end of the program each student received a $1,000 scholarship. Everyone agrees that the Northern Summer School of Science and Technol- ogy is a great learning experi- ence and a perfect way to meet new friends.
