The crux of the problem, improvement district trustees and alliance members say, is the turbidity of the water in Norns (Pass) Creek due to the amount of sediment flowing in the stream, The sediment renders the improvement district’s state: of-the-art ultraviolet purification system ineffective in Arnett said some rehabilitation work such as seeding will begin this summer. But, responding to a question from RRID trustee George Stein, Arnett would not commit the ministry this year to correcting the problem of siltation that is already in the creek “1 couldn't, promise you anything on that or even comment on it George,” Arnett said Watershed alliance co-ordinator Astrid Austin said Tuesday she has mixed feelings about the results of the forum «1 was pleased with the fact that, in my mind, we have begun dialoguing with forestry and other concerned par ties,”’ she said. ‘I was not pleased with the fact that I don’t Castlegar school district trustee Evelyn Voykin could not attend and sent a letter which was read'by moderator Fred Stroes Peppard got one of the biggest rounds of applause from the partisan crowd of abut 60 when he blasted the government for denying water users participation “‘in the decision-making, the planning and operations in water- shed.”” “Bureaucrats and professionals become incensed when we commoners are bold enongh to question their ability to determine what’s best for us,”” said Peppard, who called for the formation of a task force to study the en vironmental damage to the watershed “I recommend that absolutely no further logging oc cur, that no further cutting or road permits be granted uhtil the study is completed and the recommendations enacted," he said But Arnett said water users through their elected of ficials — in this case the improvement district trustees — are welcome to participate in the ministry's Integrated Watershed Management Plans, part of the mipistry’s for- mal process for planning logging operations in watersheds. IWMPs include provisions for identifying and solving problems, said Arnett, noting that the RRID has been in- vited to participate in ploaning fa for the watershed but has declined to take part “‘Are we getting an! Joser to some involvement?” he TALKS berry Watershed Alliance, Ken Arnett said the ministry must consider the stand of timber in the watershed which is threatened by an infestation of spruce bark beetles. “don’t know that a moratorium solves anything,”’ Arnett said, although he agreed that a moratorium ** certainly prevent any further occurrénces"’ of damage to the watershed caused by logging inthearea “However, we have to consider that area and” that stand of timber . . . ina sense that there's more than just a stream flowing out of it or trees growing there, Arnett said. Described by organizers as a ‘‘fact-finding mission, Monday's lengthy discussions produced no concre results.

And to date we've not been given those oppor- tunities.” Hammond also took a shot at the ministry's !WMPs, saying they are geared toward timber management not water management “The IWMP does not provide rights for water users to have a share — not all-of — but a share of the decision- making authority,’’ he said. “The other thing about IWMPs is that they are timber management plans, not volved. I wanted to focus on the problem caused by logging practices in our watershed.”* Austin said the alliance has tentatively hired a soil specialist and an independent forester to conduct a study of the watershed in the spring and give the alliance a report on the damage to the watershed and what rehabilitation measures should be taken She would not name the two individuals without their approval Joining Arnett and Stein on the panel were John Dyck of the Environment Ministry’s Water Management Bran. ch, Jennifer Glasgow, a public health inspector, Herb Hammond, an independent forester, Atco Lumber’s woodlands mariager Hans Louwe, Wayne Peppard, a founding member of theSlocan Valley Watershed Alliance and soils specialist Greg Utzig atershed plans.

But Louwe said that was a “loaded” question “My job is to satisfy my mill requirements to get logs © to the mill,” Louwe said. “But bear in mind that we think water is a very valuable resource and we treat it as such. As far as I’m concerned, we're doing a hell of a good job up there and we're willing to take any people out there at any time, if it’s reasonable, to satisfy you that we're doing continued on page A2 OFFICIALS RE-THINK MOVE By BRENDAN NAGHEE— Staff Writer The provincial Ministry of Environment’sWildlife Branch will not relocate 26 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep following strong protests from Salmo residents and concerned sportsmen in the area. Steve Davis, a taxidermist in Castlegar, said the Wildlife Branch proposal to relocate.the sheep came two wetks ago and the ensuing protests convinced the officials to re-think their proposal. He said wildlife and hunting groups, along with Salmo residents, could offer an alternative to relocating the bighorn sheep herd which is currently ranging about 10 kilometres up the Salmo-Creston Skyway on a ‘‘very small" stretch of land “The concern is there’s not enough area to support more than 30-35 sheep, Davis said. “Some of the sheep are wintering within 100 yards of the highway.”” After convincing wildlife officials not to relocate the sheep to Sullivan Lake, Wash., the concerned groups met Monday at the Marlane Hoiel in Castlegar to discuss solvirig the bighorn sheep problem. Davis said the Environment Ministry doesn’t have any money in its budget specifically earmarked for the sheep, so wildlife officials are giving local wildlife and hunting groups responsibility for the herd ‘Basically, it was thrown back into the laps of the sportsmen and they're answering that challenge,’ Davis said. He said individual groups will raise funds to help protect the herd —Nelson-Creston MLA Howard Dirks has aked Bet Maintenance to keep the highway pulloff near the bighorn range lands clear of snow. As well, the mechanical highways sign in Salmo will be programmed with a bighorn sheep warning so motorists will be war ned of sheep on the road, Davis said. He added he is hopeful highway crews will also install bighorn sheep signs on the roadside where the herd is currently ranging The sheep were originally transplanted from Waterton Lakes, Alta., to Sullivan_Lake,-Wash_,_in 1974. By 1977 small groups of sheep migrated north to the arta where they currently range.
