INDUSTRIES on North
Vancouver's waterfront
have been told to clean
up their act. And if
things don’t improve

soon they risk running
into problems with the

regulatory body which
governs air pollution
control.

Don Miller is the Greater
Vancouver Regional District
(GVRD) air pollution
control officer for the North
Shore.

handful of waterfront in-
dustrics don't take effective
steps to stop polluting their
neighbors then as a last
resort he might be forced to
take away their air pollution
control permits.

Residents and businesses
in the Main Street area of
North Vancouver have been
complaining for weeks that
local premises are getting
covered with films of coal
dust blown from Neptune
Terminals.

Miller says he has already
sent a violation notice to
Neptune, informing the
company it has contravened
its air pollution § control
permit.

Neptune has responded by
buying a 3,000-gallon water
spray truck to keep its huge
pile of coal dampened
during dry weather, in the
hope of preventing dust from
blowing.

Pollution Control will be
suggesting their own
remedies and if they are not
promptly dealt with the
question of removing the air
pollution control permit —
