  Dwight Williamson, director of the Water Science and Management Branch of Manitoba, said the current permit specifically says "the intake must be fitted with a screen system of sufficient mesh and size to preclude the uptake or transfer of adult fish species."
  
  If fish get through the filter system, it is a violation of the permit requirement, he said.
  
  During the 11-day operation of the outlet in 2005, small fish and freshwater shrimp were spotted in the same area, Williamson said.The upper layer of the gravel part of the filter was not strong enough, and the state Health Department ordered more metal screening to improve the filter, which was installed earlier this year, Williamson said.

  Dwight Williamson, the director of water science and management for the Manitoba government, said the cause for concern is not the minnows but rather parasites that are in Devils Lake but are foreign to Lake Winnipeg and the Red River.
  
  "Our main concern is the potential harm from the movement of pathogens and parasites that may harm fisheries in Lake Winnipeg," Williamson said.

  ...
  Williamson, the director of the province's water science and management branch, estimated the number of marginal rivers will shrink by half in the next several years as new rules and regulations kick in.Those include the ban on dishwasher soap with phosphates and costly repairs and upgrades to municipal sewage treatment plants like the ones in Winnipeg.
  
  Williamson also noted there are already four or five rivers rated fair that are just on the cusp of being bumped up to "good."Williamson predicted about half the rivers rated fair will show dramatic improvement over the next several CESI studies.

  Dwight Williamson, director of water science management for Manitoba Water Stewardship, said the province advises people not to swim and keep pets out of the water when blue-green algae is present on a beach.However, he said, providing a similar warning to recreational boaters or kayakers is something that's just starting to be discussed.
  
  "We know there are issues related to any exposure directly to toxins but (in these discussions) we're not aware of or have considered the impacts that might occur to boaters," Williamson said."There's a lot about this issue we don't know."
  
  Part of the problem about issuing warnings, Williamson said, is it's hard to know when toxins are present in the water.
  ...
  This year, Williamson said, monitors have detected blue-green algae blooms in Killarney and a small site near Victoria Beach and will be posting warnings to swimmers.

  Manitoba Water Stewarship's Dwight Williamson agreed, saying he expects the outlet to be open for maybe another three weeks or so, assuming heavy rains remain at bay.If it stays dry in North Dakota, water flows in the Sheyenne River will drop and sulfate levels could rise beyond allowable levels, triggering the outlet shut-off.
  
  Still, the province was hoping North Dakota would hold off reopening the Devils Lake outlet.
  
  "We're disappointed they decided to operate the outlet," said Williamson, the director of Manitoba's water management and science branch.
  ...
  It's too soon to tell whether that two weeks caused any damage to Manitoba's waterways, Williamson said.
