Sedi- ment samples from immediate- ly below the mill and at the U.S.-Canada border showed no dioxin contamination but did show varying levels of furan contamination. With the excep- tion of Whitefish, levels of dioxins and furans in a variety of fish species sampled showed generally low levels of contam- ination. Because of these find- ings, Dr. Nelson Ames, a medical health officer at the Central Kootenay Health Unit issued a consumption advisory. “In some cases, regular con- sumers of Lake and Mountain Whitefish might exceed the recommended daily tolerable intake for dioxins/furans set by Health and Welfare Canada For this reason, it is recom- mended that consumers of Whitefish caught in the vicinity of Hugh Keenleyside Dam to the American border limit their consumption to one meal per week." The study was carried out as Ltd. of Vancouver. KAREN RANDALL of Robson was the Ist prize winner in the Castlegar Sun/Hedley Blast Ticket Give-away Contest.

Many thanks to John Penner and "The Wize Guys" International Artist Marketing a joint effort between various levels of government at the request of Celgar Pulp Compa- ny. The study reports that: + the effluent from Celgar pulp showed no detectable dioxins in samples taken in 1990 and 1991 while furans were found in both samples but were considered lower in 1991; * analysis of nearby commu- nity drinking water samples indicate no evidence of dioxins or furans; + dioxins and furans were not detected in Columbia River sed- iments above or below the mill while furans were found below the mill in variable quantities; * dioxins and furans were detected in the tissues of fish taken from the Columbia River and its tributaries near the Cel- gar Putp Mill with various species exhibiting different lev- els of these compounds, and, * muscle and liver tissues of Mountain Whitefish, Lake Whitefish, Largescale Suckers, Northern Squawfish, Yellow Walleye and Rainbow Trout were tested. The muscle and liver tissues of Lake and Moun- tain Whitefish showed the highest levels of dioxins and furans, while the tissues of the other species indicated more moderate, low or non- detectable concentrations. The study was undertaken in response to the need for a con- sistent approach to monitoring the effects of pulp and paper mill operations on the environ- ment. This study, in addition to similar studies throughout the Province, will serve as the baseline for future investiga- tions, and will help monitor long term environmental effects as the mills move towards com- Pliance with the new pulp mill regulations. Additional sam- pling of sediments, fish and other aquatic life in the Columbia River is being planned as well. TRAIL TIMES | ce While the Forest Service has imposed campfire restrictions in northern B.C. because of the extreme fire hazard, the Nelson Forest Region office is reporting a low to moderate forest fire hazard. The Nelson region covers the area from Grand Forks to Revel- extreme for much of the summer. Regional fire control officer Gary Gelette said a total of 293 fires have occurred todate in the Nel- son region, which is a marked increase from 84 during the same Local forest service reports low hazard period in 1991, and there are cur- rently 23 fires burning in the region. However, Gelette said the 293 are an “average” number and last year’s totals were “well low” . A total of eight new fires were Started last week, with lightning being blamed for all those new Starts. In fact, Gelette said light- ning has been the cause of the majority of this year’s fires in the Nelson region, which have burned a total of 291.9 hectares. "We have had a good spatter- ing of rain over the last while, which does make the fires easier to handle,” Gelette said, noting that in the case of lightning being the cause of fires “you can't have all of one and not the other.” Gelette pointed out that if the fires started last week are not out, they are “definitely under control.” He added none of the recent starts have required more than initial attack crews to con- trol and extinquish them. As of last Friday, the total number of forest fires in the province this year had reached 1,539, up from 891 in 1991. The total number of hectares burned todate is 17,115.8 Gelette said there has been no ban placed on campfires throughout the region, but campers are always urged to make sure they douse their campfires before leaving.

I am pleased to confirm our position as follows: 1. The Forest Service has des- ignated the slopes of Christina Lake as having a visual quality objective of retention. This means that any operations must not be readily apparent to the viewer. 2. The Forest Service is com- mitted to full public consultation prior to any operation within the Christina Lake basin. 3. The northeast quarter of Christina Lake has been included in the protected area study (Glad- stone Wilderness). A full morato- rium on Forest Service operttions is in place for this study area. 4. Any operation on Lot 1021s will in no way set a precedent for the Crown forest in the vicinity.
