The province has told Timmins city hall to produce a detailed action plan to clean up a lingering environmental problem at Bob's Lake Lagoon, in the East End.
The city has been given to the end of this month to come up with this plan.
The lagoon is a leftover from the pre-amalgamation days when the rules were not as strict about how municipalities should look after raw household sewage.

The Detour Gold mine might be located close to Cochrane, but the company continues to be a vital source of revenue for the mining supply sector and employees in Timmins.
That was part of the message presented recently when Detour president and chief executive officer Paul Martin spoke to Timmins city council outlining the progress of the mine and plans for expansion at what Martin said is a "very economic and viable operation" where the cost of producing gold is at less than $900 per ounce.

Potentially toxic algae is expected to form again this summer in western Lake Erie, but should be considerably less severe than the blooms that blanketed the lake and threatened drinking water supplies the previous two years, scientists said recently.
After three wet springs, the region's rainfall was more normal this year, said Richard Stumpf of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. That means less phosphorus from farms and sewage treatment plants has washed into the Maumee River and other tributaries that discharge into the lake, feeding harmful algae.

Tahoe Resources is growing its interests in the Timmins gold camp.
Tahoe recently announced it has acquired Goldcorp's two per cent net smelter return royalty, related to production at Tahoe's Bell Creek Mine, for $12.5 million.
The two parties have additionally signed a letter of intent that would increase Tahoe's ownership interest in their Whitney joint venture to 100 per cent. Goldcorp's current interest of 30 per cent would be reduced to a two per cent net smelter royalty.

A P.E.I. company has shipped what it calls the world's first solar-powered, mobile wastewater treatment system.
The system was built by Montague-based Island Water Technologies. Housed in a standard 20-foot cargo container, the unit can be installed in areas without local electricity in one or two days, and managed by one person on site.
"This solution is a game-changer for wastewater treatment at remote camps," said Island Water Technologies CEO Patrick Kiely, in a news release.

Two continent-size blobs of hot — and possibly molten — rock can be found deep underground, about halfway to the center of the Earth, according to a new study. These curious structures — each of which is so large that it would be 100 times taller than Mount Everest — could be made up of materials that may shed light on how the Earth formed, the researchers said.
One of the blobs is located beneath the Pacific Ocean, and the other can be found beneath the Atlantic. These underground structures start where the Earth's mantle meets the core, but they send "plumes" up through the rock like a lava lamp, the researchers said.
