Cromer and Warner recommend the concept of "best practicable
means" as used successfully in the United Kingdom be employed to effect
control of hazardous aerial emissions. They conclude that "the appropriate
technologies do exist which, if correctly implemented, would provide
adequate cafoguardo against all the potentially obnoxious aerial discharges
that might arise."
The consultants have strongly recommended that adequate control
be given to the executive of Government to ensure that all industrial
installations are disciplined so that they do not affect the quality of
the environsent.
The report concludes that a refinery/petrochemicals plant could
be accommodated on Lamma Island and that there would be major changes
in land shape and use. However, with controls, the disposal of all wastes
could be achieved with virtually no risk to the surrounding communities.
