A NOXIOUS BREW was one of the many ‘‘hureaucratic tests’’ performed by costumed members of the
North Shore division of Environment Canada to raise funds for the United Way. The bureaucratic bunglings
of such characters as the wicked witch of the west and the scarecrow (pictured here) managed to raise $7,700

GVRD assesses

area air

THE GREATER Vancouver
Regional District recently released
@ report assessing current air quali-
ty and making projections into the
Rext century.

The report is the first stage of an
Air Management Plan that will
allow the residents of the region to
make informed choices affecting
future air quality.

The work began in September
1988, and has been completed by
the district’s consultants, B.H.
Levelton & Associates of Van-
couver and Concord Scientific
Corporation of Toronto.

The GVRD's Air Management
Plan is part of cooperative work
being done by GVRD, provincial
and federal agencies to evaluate air
quality strategies.

A plan will be prepared in the
next month proposing a program
of actions that can be implemented
over the next two years to improve
regional air quality, such as a
motor vehicle emission inspection
and maintenance program.

ft will also outline a framework
te solicit input from the public,
industry and government agencies,

quality —

defining the scope of work for
stage two of the Air Management
Plan for the district.

The work completed in stage one
includes an assessment of current
and future air pollution emissions
and regional zir quality trends.

The assessment is based upon
historical air-quality monitoring
data and a detailed inventory of
1985 air emissions which is then
projected 10 and 20 years into the
future.

The projections assume that new
lower-emitting vehicles gradually
replace the existing fleet, and that
air pollutants are controlled ac-
cording to current practices.

Approximately 80 per cent of
the air pollutants in the district are
emitted by a growing number of
motor vehicles,

Despite this, overall emissions in
the district are expected to decrease
approximately 15 per cent in the
next 10 years, mainly due to the
influence of more stringent federal
standards for new vehicle emis-
sions.
