Hydro spokesman said Tuesday. ‘Gary Salmon, director of dam Safety, said construction photos show rock forming part of a protective wall is missing in the ‘old same area where water is seeping through. “There was just a gap left in it in one par- ticular place,” he said. “Phe rock that was put there was put over a very large area, perhaps half the size of a football field. But there was one area next to the concrete, about five or eight feet square ... where they just seemed to forget about the rock. I don’t know why.” B.C. Hydro, which operates the dam, dis- covered water was seeping through con- struction joints during a routine safety study. Salmon said water is getting through an area of the clay blanket that has eroded. The blanket is on the bottom of the reservoir and acts as a ive barrier pi ing water from seeping into the gravel underly- ing the dam or the base of the concrete dam. The’ rock wall is a protective barrier to the clay blanket. Hydro says the seepage makes the dam more susceptible to earthquake damage. However, Salmon insists it isn’t a serious problem. He said ives of the Iti firm working on the leak, Klohn-Crippen of Vancouver, now believe high-pressure read- ings from one area of the two suspect areas may simply be faulty. He said the tubing that connects an instrument situated about 15 metres upstream from the dam appears to have been damaged during construction. The instrument, called a piezometer, measures water pressure, “They put some fill on top of it and crushed it or crimped itsright as it goes concrete and the leak is occur- ring right there,” Salmon said. “That’s what we're lating anyway based on the way it (the piezometer) was behaving.” But whether there is a leak there or the instrument is giving the wrong reading is still unknown. “They don’t have any information” to con- firm either theory, he said. “It’s a lot like detective work.” Hydro will install eight more piezometers next month in the concrete dam “to define exactly the extent of any high pressure areas,” Salmon said. The safety study is expected to continue until February or March, he said. At that time, a recommendation of how best to bring the protective clay blanket back up to its original standard will be pre- pared. Prepare to hit brakes By SIMON BIRCH Editor The lines are drawn. Now the problem is getting drivers to slow down. In an effort to get motorists to ease up on the gas pedal, Castle- gar council moved to within one step Monday of amending the city's traffic bylaw to reduce the speed limit on Columbia Avenue to 50 km-h from 60 km-h be- tween Castleaird Plaza and Ar- row Lakes Drive. Council must formally adopt the bylaw amendment at a fu- rure meeting before the speed reduction becomes law. The move is the final step in Wie city’s ambitious plan to cre- ate a safer and less congested Columbia Avenue. Other changes — now almost complete — included converting much of the street into three lanes from two, with the centre lane reserved for two-way left turns.

Bob Pakula said. ‘ Noting Ald. Lawrence Cher- noff's comment that, so far, drivers seem to be adjusting well to the new lane system, Pakula lobbied council to keep the 60 km-h limit. “Why don't we leave it that way?” he asked. But Chernoff said most other municipalities set speed limits at 50 km-h. And he said few Castlegar drivers adhere to 60 km-h limit. : "Very few people are travel- ling the speed limit,” said Gher- noff, who spent some time with the police pointing @ radar gun at local drivers. made to said.

If the federal government is so worried about cutting costs and eliminating the deficit, why does Revenue Canada refund $20 with 15 separate cheques? The Castlegar resident, a Westar Timber received five $2 cheques and 1 cheques of $1 each on Monday for what Revenue Canada described on a stub attached to the cheques as “an adjustment to a period previously pro- cessed.” “It's a complete waste of my money, your money and every- one else who pays taxes in this country,” Arehembeutt said of of revitali By SIMON BIRCH Edi itor The city will pay for half the estimated $1.5 million capital costs for the first phase of down- town revitalization and will pick up the $630,000 tab for all rodd short of tax refund cheques the proliferation of Paper.
