I guess you are right. It isn't exactly in my backyard. However, the treatment of human sewage from the camp should not be rocket science. They could always have it hauled away and dumped in Lake Ontario. The leaching of minerals from the cofferdam would introduce higher levels of whatever is already present in the Lake. How much of the increased phosphorous level would make it into the river is unknown but I would guess that most of it would be absorbed by existing plant life in the lake. The town being 400 km away would have to be a factor in the water quality at that point in the river. I am sure they will come up with necessary solutions to this incuding financial benefits for the town as a tradeoff. I was assuming that they used salt on the roads. If not, all the power to them.
