The United Nation s Environmental Program, under Maurice Strong, was formally inaugurated in 1973. Nairobi in Kenya was selected as permanent headquarters for the Governing Council, session of the Executive Director,and his staff. At the serond Governing Council held in March 1974, program activities were allocated at $18 million for 1974 and $20 million for 1975. Priority items were: art 1 - Environmentally sound technology related to human settlements, such as low-cost building techniques, water and waste treatment. - Protection of the - Management of arid - A Global priority environment. regions and reclamation Environmental Monitoring System pollutants and their effects. - An International environmental governmental be assigning marine Referral information.

(3) The recently announced B.C. Pollution Control Board Objectives,for Oil Air Emission and W9 ter Effluent Refineries and Chemical Plants,do not show the same rationality and understanding by that provincial agency. (4) The Quebec Government's first draft of a Projected Air Pollution Control Regulation portrayed a considerable naivety with respect to air pollution control technology and management. (5) Alberta's display cleanest regulations for Sour Gas Plants continued the Environment Minister's goal to be the in Canada. to The Federal Environmental Protection Service completed the set-up of its five regional offices but continue the acquisition of staff. The roles and activities of these regional staffs vary with geography,from being very aggressive to nominally passive. In most cases, they are another layer of bureaucracy with which to contend. As yet, Environment Canada has not published a summary report on progress or regression in environmental quality. Annual reports by the Alberta and Ontario Departments of Environment and the Montreal Air Pollution Controller provide some data for specific locations which are useful indicators. Air quality in the City of Toronto has improved over the past ten years to a point where it met the U.S. primary objective of 0.03 ppm. for so2 in 1973. The province now monitors the air in 44 Ontario communities. In the Province of Ontario, 16 new municipal sewage to existing plants were approved treatment plants and 23 extensions in 1973, with expenditures estimated at $225 million. In the same 127 industrial installations estimated at $33 millon were period approv;d, and 25 applications estimated at $45 million were pending approval. of solid wastes has received considerable provinces.

In general the attitude of Cana d ians ment continues to exhibit a fairly high degree o f conct:!rn • 'l' ~ emphasis has shifted from hounding industries for their obv1ou: implied sins of polluting the air and streams,to more responsible broader concerns of best location for new plants,and of reason for existence. In the energy sector, the growing concern regarding foreign ownership and growing nationalistic protectionism has focussed attention toward controlling exports. With exports eliminated, new energy source developmentswith all their inherent environmental hazards could be stopped or, at worst, slowed down. Several of the major energy resource developments--oil, gas and electricity--include the problem of native peoples ' As aboriginal or treaty rights as well as environmental concerns. major hydro-electric developments, such as the Hydro-Quebec 's vast James Bay power development, deprive several thousand Indians of a livelihood from traditional hunting and fishing pursuits, the environmental consequences have become widely recogn ized. This recognition of broad social effects of changes to the natural environment naturally spills over to the oil and gas sector in concern for northern frontier developments. A public opinion poll conducted in Novemb er 1973 ranked pollution second in degree of effect of six issues which were concerning people. On the question of contribution to environmenta 1--7~- damage by industrial sectors, petroleum was considered third hi h~: The most significant finding in recent surveys was that over 80~ ~s ·• of people polled felt that both government and industry should d more to combat pollution, even if it meant higher taxes and h. h o · f or goods. 19 er prices Chart ~ -6~chart - 7 - SECTION I I PERFORMANCEAND PROBLEMS OF OPERATING FUNCTIONS 1.

(8) .:!harts Oi l Spill Incident to make public on aware Repor t The number of o i l s pills reported in 1973 increased markedly i n 19 7 3 over 197 2 (37 8 vs. 139). It is suspected that a large portion of th e increase is due to better reporting procedures wh i c h h a ve been instituted. The Production and Tra n spo r ta ti on Departments were responsible for the bulk of t he spi lls - 45% each. Of the total number of spills, the propor t ion of minor spills increased (66% vs. 56%) and the p r opo r t i on o f major spills decreased (10% vs. 16%) in 1973 . The total volume of oil spilled decreased from 10 . 5 M bb l s. to 9.4 M bbls. 16 a nd 17 As to the causes of t h e inci de nts, in 1973 work error 60"fe - which is the accounted for 40% and equipmen t failure reverse of 1972. In t he Pr od u cti on Department, 89% of the spills were due to equipment fa il u r e . In the Transportation Department 62% of the spills were due to work error and 63% involved outside carriers.
