COMPLETE FINANCIAL INCLUDING Low Cost Personal Loans Officials Disappointed With Tri Pac’s $500 Fine Rossland court fined Tri- angle Pacific $500 last Wednes- day after convicting the com: pany of polluting air with its Slocan City sawmill. Pollution Control Board Officials said they were disap- pointed with the fine—which “could have reached a maximum" of $10,000—levied by Judge 1. Josephson, “Personally, I was disap- pointed with the magnitude of the fine,” assistant regional manager of the PCB, Jim Laren said Thursday. “We'll have to think about what we do now, where we go from here.” McLaren said the: cost of prosecuting the firm was more than $500,.and the cost -to TriPac of fighting the case must have been far more. A vice-president of the’ firm at the head office in Vancouver came to Nelson last month with a company lawyer to.argue the company's case. According to Irving Bar- ber, the - vice-president who came to Nelson, the fine was low because the firm had ‘several good defensive argu- ments, i “In anticipation of new pollution contro! laws,” Barber said from his Vancouver office, “Triangle Pacific built anew, wasteburner. in'1969, “And in 1972 we voluntar- ily spent $60,000 for -new equipment & to comply with the wood waste buildup at the plant. The company must then choose, Barber said, between shutting down the mill for a time, or of burning the waste material and creating smoke. “History has demonstrated that with the varying fuel supplies and types it is difficult to always comply with the present PCB standards.” - Barber noted that during the July shutdown: of . the burner some changes will be made which should improve the smoke situation, Pollution contro! officials, meanwhile, will be. trying: to find out what they did wrong. Transcripts of the trial are being ordered, and indications are the PCB will prepare to: - make a better case the next time they go to court. Court workers noted that TriPac has been convicted once before on a charge of pollution. At that time, in 1974, the fine was $400 and the maximum fine was then only $1,000. i The charge, was laid oh Oct, 1 for an offence committed July 20. Testimony was heard in Nelson provincial court, and a guilty verdict was handed down May 9. The case was referred‘to Rossland Wednes- day for sentencing.
