Fisheries Protection and Pollution Prevention
Definitions
34 (1) For the purposes of sections 35 to 43,

deleterious substance means

• (a) any substance that, if added to any water, would degrade or alter or form part of a process of degradation or alteration of the quality of that water so that it is rendered or is likely to be rendered deleterious to fish or fish habitat or to the use by man of fish that frequent that water, or
  
  
• (b) any water that contains a substance in such quantity or concentration, or that has been so treated, processed or changed, by heat or other means, from a natural state that it would, if added to any other water, degrade or alter or form part of a process of degradation or alteration of the quality of that water so that it is rendered or is likely to be rendered deleterious to fish or fish habitat or to the use by man of fish that frequent that water,

and without limiting the generality of the foregoing includes

• (c) any substance or class of substances prescribed pursuant to paragraph (2)(a),
  
  
• (d) any water that contains any substance or class of substances in a quantity or concentration that is equal to or in excess of a quantity or concentration prescribed in respect of that substance or class of substances pursuant to paragraph (2)(b), and
  
  
• (e) any water that has been subjected to a treatment, process or change prescribed pursuant to paragraph (2)(c); (substance nocive)

The federal Cabinet can pass regulations allowing the introduction of particular harmful substances into fish habitat, and has done so.

• The Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulation (PPER) defines as deleterious substances and authorizes maximum levels of deposit for these substances in pulp and paper mill effluent. The Regulation also requires monitoring of the effluent. (Note: Port Alberni Pulp Mill has a regulation of its own.)
• The Metal Mine Effluent Regulation (MMER) applies to new, expanded and reopened mines, other than gold mines. This regulation defines as deleterious substances certain metals; total suspended matter and radium, and established the maximum levels for these parameters in effluents. The regulation has also recently been used to authorize mining operations to convert natural lakes into “tailings impoundment areas” (essentially waste dumps for untreated tailings). There are further proposals to do this to several other lakes, including a number in BC.
• The Petroleum Refinery Liquid Effluent Regulation applies to facilities for the processing of crude oil. It sets average authorized levels for the deposit of various deleterious substances, including oils and grease, phenols, sulfide, ammonia nitrate and other substances harmful to fish. The operator of the refinery is required to report to the Minister on how much of these substances were actually deposited on a regular basis.
• Other Regulations governing the deposit of particular types of deleterious substances include the Chlor-Alkali Mercury Liquid Effluent Regulation, the Meat and Poultry Plants Liquid Effluent Regulation, and the Potato Processing Plant Liquid Effluent Regulation.

Fish Farms and processing plants seem strangely absent from these regulations. This needs to change.

Now that's calling the kettle black.

Are you telling me the crap that comes out of Victoria's sewer pipe is not deleterious to aquatic life?
Maybe start another thread ... gotta keep the mods happy.

It of course is deleterious, and I'd guess its one of many things effecting the SRKW, but they are building a tertiary treatment system (yes way overdue) for the area by the end of 2020 at a cots of $765million (probably 1.5 Billion by the time they are done!) . Those things don't go up overnight.

Yep same with moving fish farms to land
