of not more than 4 minutes in the aggregate in a half hour period, visible
emission may have an opacity exceeding density No. 1 but not exceeding density
No. 2 on the visible emission chart.
(3) Notwithstanding subsection (1), where a new
fire is started in combustion process equipment, the visible emission may have

Notification of
pollution potential
9. Where, at a stationary source which has the

Ministerial order
and appeal
15. (1) Where the minister is satisfied that the

adversely affect the health or impair the safety of a person or cause injury or
damage to property, plant or animal life, he or she may, notwithstanding
another provision of these regulations or anything contained in a permit or
certificate of approval, order the persons responsible for the emission to take
such action as is specified in the order to contain the danger or harm
resulting from the emission or to restore the environment to a condition
satisfactory to the minister within the time specified in the order.
(2) Where a person, upon whom an order is made
under subsection (1), fails to comply with the order, the minister may cause
the necessary work to be done and charge that person with the cost of it which

jurisdiction.
(3) A person aggrieved by an action taken by the
minister under subsection (1) or (2) may within 14 days from the date of the
order appeal against the order to a judge of the Trial Division by filing a notice

day appointed for the hearing.
(6) The judge shall hear the appeal and the
evidence adduced before him or her by the appellant and the Crown in a summary
manner and shall decide the matter of the appeal by
(a) upholding, amending or revoking the order
after considering upon all matters submitted to him or her whether the works or
operations did constitute a condition which did pollute or was likely to
pollute the air, soil or a body of water; or
(b) making such other decision which he or she
considers to be proper in the circumstances and with power also to make orders
as to costs for or against the appellant or the Crown and to fix the amount.
(7) An appeal may be taken from the decision of
the judge to the Court of Appeal upon a point of law raised upon the hearing of
the appeal and the rules governing appeals to that court from a decision of the
judge of the Trial Division shall apply to appeals under this subsection.
(8) The filing of a notice of appeal under this
section or the appeal itself shall not affect the order which shall remain in
force pending the outcome of the appeal.

forage, to be fed to livestock for a period exceeding 30 days must not exceed
35 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in unwashed samples.
2. Deciduous Trees. Fully expanded
functional leaves of Alder trees, Alnus
crispa or Alnus rugosa, sampled
in September of each year, must not exceed 130 micrograms fluoride per gram dry
tissue in washed sample.
3. Conifers. Buds or needles from
balsam fir, Abies balsamea, must not
exceed 45 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed samples for the
current growth season and must not exceed 75 micrograms fluoride per gram dry
tissue in washed samples for the previous growth season. Sampling is to take
place during May and September of each year.
4. Grasses and Sedges. Grasses and
sedges not subject to browsing, grazing or harvest for use in feeds or food
must not exceed 60 micrograms fluoride per gram dry tissue in washed samples.
5. Sampling Areas. Samples shall be
collected from plots, approved by the department, that are representative of
the areas of maximum impact from fluoride emitting sources. These areas should
be clearly marked and designated. In the case of deciduous and conifer trees
and grasses and sedges, all plots shall be outside the property line of the
emitting source. In the case of forage crops, plots may be designated within
the property line of the emitting source.
6. Sample Collection. Leaves and
needles from exposed trees shall be collected from the side of each tree
exposed to the emitting source and at a height sufficient to minimize
obstruction from surrounding vegetation. Each sample shall be a composite of a
minimum of 5 clippings from a minimum of 5 trees in each sampling plot. In the
case of forage or grasses and sedges, the sample shall consist of a minimum of
15 clippings from a random path through the whole plot. Methods for measuring
the fluoride content of any plant tissue shall be by suitable methods approved
by the department.
