Mr. David Flynn:

To address the road run-off, the same obligations apply across the board. We have the same obligations across all water bodies, so any pollution that is caused will have to addressed. As regards surface run-off, obviously its nature would be different from run-off from a farm area if it was coming from a road. However, if it is causing an issue, it has to be dealt with. Urban run-off, which may be slightly different, is probably the nearest information we have to the situation the Senator described. Approximately 150 water bodies out of the 2,800 are at significant pressure at present. It is certainly an issue that features, although probably not as highly as the agricultural issues. However, there is an equal obligation on the country to address the issue.
