Our select submissions
Caution: The listings in this page are only
a minute selection of our continuous submissions to the municipalities but
these are among the significant ones. Further, many of our submissions
to the former municipal units were made using a typewriter, hence it is
cumbersome to include them here.

- Our Threshold/LCC TP (Total Phosphorus) values are based on the federal CCME (2004) policy.
HRM/Halifax appears to be basing their standards on the `recent field
data’ and not on the pre-cultural hindcast data, although the latter is
recommended in numerous scientific literature dating back decades
inclusive of the CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the
Environment). Further, paleolimnological literature suggests instead a
compromise of selecting the diatom inference (DI) values of the
pre-industrial era. In the HRM/Nova Scotia domain, it would be
approximately pre-1850. These inference values can be also be used to
set the acceptable TP values as well. Our modelled pre-cultural TP, the
DI (Diatom Inference) TP, suggestions on proper LCC’s, as well as
Halifax’s high threshold values are in the tables; October 04, 2018
