A preliminary re port that a trace mineral in the tailings had been found in Wisconsin waters was ruled "not conclusive or subject to consid eration" by the conference at this time. Plans were made, however, for further regional study of Lake Superior pollution.

A three-part procedure to be followed in upcoming months was outlined by David P. Dominick, commissioner of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration (FWPCA). He called for: one month analysis by Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin pollution officials of the material presented at the conference, this individual examination of data, the three states will meet in executive session, and states will then make public their findings. Dominick said that while present data is not conclusive about nature and extent of the pol- ution problem, more complete available as representatives of the three states conduct future meetings at least every i months. Besides the Reserve Mining lompany's taconite tailing dumping operation at Silver Bay, a report by the FWPCA pinpointed 91 municipalities, 60 )ther industries and 124 federal installations that currently discharge waste into the lake or its jibutaries.

The report listed 20 recommendations for prevention pollution in Lake Superior and proposed stiff water quality standards that would make the ake, the largest body of fresh water in the world, the most stringently controlled lake in the world. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan have already adopted strict standards for the ake. During the three-day conference, chemists, biologists and other water experts representing the FWPCA and Reserve Mining presented conflicting evidence on pollution in the lake. G. Fred Lee, a University of Wisconsin water chemist acting as a technical consultant to Reserve Mining, declared there is 'insufficient information available at the present time to support the Federal Water Pollu- lon Control Administration's )roposed water criteria for -ake Superior." The Reserve Mining Company had received a federal permit in 1955 to dump taconite tail ngs, waste from its taconite- crusing operation, into lake Superior.

The permit is up for renewal, but Col. Richard Hesse, of the Army's district corps of engineers, told the con- erence the permit will not be extended until results of the con- erence are known. The tailings have formed a huge delta in Silver Bay and are settling in a trough up to 900 feet deep in front of (he plant. Kenneth Haley, Reserve Min- course enough to settle on the beach and never reach the lake. The finer tailings, he said, settle in the deep trough in front of Silver Bay.

The FWPCA report, however, said that 5,400 tons a day of the taconite waste are of such small particles that they are capable of remaining suspended in water for a considerable time after discharge. SHE'S 100 PLUS Mrs. Ella Taylor of River Falls is 101 years old today. She was honored at a big open house when she became 100, but plans to obsi-ive her birthday in a quiet way. She is alert, active and spends much of heir time reading, writing letters and visiting with friends.

(Ap Wirephoto) Prevailing currents in the lake can transport these fine particles more than nine miles a day. The report added they have been observed in water 18 miles southwest of the plant. Dr. Donald Mount, director of the National Water Quality Laboratory in Duluth, reported he has used the mineral cumming- tonite as a "tracer" of the tailings. The cummingtonite tracer, he said, has been found in the water systems of Beaver Bay, Two Harbors and Duluth, Minnesota, and also at Sand Island, Wis.

He said that "considerably more" than traces were found in samples from Encampment Island, to Herbster, Wls. Commissioner Dominick, however, stressed that the information has not been fully analyzed and evaluated and is "not conclusive or subject to consideration" by the conference at this time. Both Dr. Mount and Dr. Robert Andrew, research chemist, said the findings are preliminary.

Andrew said "These are exploratory bottom samples, they tell me where to look again FWPCA officials were reluctant to bring the tracing information before the conference and presented it only after considerable pressure by Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, Rep. John Blatnik, Minnesota, and conservation groups. If accepted, the reports would Sparta Man Pays Two Fines in Dunn Court MENOMONIE (Special) William S.

Sen.

Nelson had charged that artificial discharges of a slve amounts of materials like the tailings into the lake were a pollutant and were bound have serious long-range consequences. Edward Furness, president of Reserve Mining denied the company is violating its permits in discharging taconite tailings into the lake at Silver Bay and that the discharges harmed water supplies or fish. He told the conference there is no evidence of any harm to humans in tha tailings. FWPCA's report noted Minnesota has found a reduction in the abundance of fish food organisms could be expected to result in a reduction of the total annual fish catch of up to five percent in areas with tailings on the bottom. The report also said that high concentrations of taconite wastes caused moralities among sac fry of rainbow trout in a four-day exposure.

Other witnesses testified that the taconite tailings released hy Reserve Mining do not have a significant effect on the quality of the water. Earlier in the conference, several individuals and groups had charged that Reserve's i s- charge procedures were harming the quality of lake water. They cited an informal federal report which had urged an end within three years of the dumping of taconite tailings. The report notes industries along the lake shore arc discharging chemicals into the lake causing immediate effects i the vicinity of the source and a progressive buildup in concentrations of persistent chemicals. Oxygen depletion is occurring in some tributaries draining info Iho lake through the i s- chargc of inadequately treated sewage effluent and inadequately-treated industrial wastes.

The lake is also bring polluted by bacteria from poorly- treated wastes, soil erosion, wastes from walcrcraft a oil pollution. A recommended time table is included in the report, calling for secondary treatment and disinfection of all municipal wastes and industrial effluents containing pathogenic organisms, removal of 80 percent of phosphorus from wastes, separation of drain and sanitary sow- ers, controls to limit concentrations of pesticides, and other recommendations. The report also calls for "continued surveillance" of the discharge of tacointc tailings with reports to be made in I x- rnonlh intervals on -whether there nre any findings that interstate pollution is occurring Osseo Will Host German Student OSSEO (Special) The ()s- seo-Fairchlld High School will host foreign exchange student Gesine Mu.sing for the 1969 70 school year.
