A $30-million- -dollar-question SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor Did they or didn’t they? That’s the $30-million-dollar question local officials are asking the ¢rown corporation B.C. Hydro. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore gays she is anxious to find out whether B.C. Hydro sold an extra $30 million worth of water to the United States over and above what is already allotted for the U.S. under the Columbia River Treaty. “T've been told that this is the case,” said Moore, who is adamant that B.C. Hydro provide answers. % “If that water was still in the Columbia River system and hadn't been sold for use in the U.S, it would still be in the Mica Reservoir where it would be stored. It could have then been used for our own recreational use,” Moore continued, citing the Arrow Lakes reservoir and its current low levels as a result of The seculation is that B.C. Hydro sold non-treaty water from the Mica (Kinbasket) reservoir, for $30 million, which has con- tributed to the severe loss of water downstream in the Arrow Lakes reservoir. This non-treaty water, said Moore, would have “B.C. Hydro has not been accountable throughout this whole thing. Right now, I sae B.C.

Fred Parker, a representative from Castlegar on the B.C. Hydro Board, said he was aware of the $30 million dollar rumor but Glance of whether the corpora- tion actually sold any water at all. “I’m unaware of gormothing like that are Parker said. ‘Trail MLA Ed Con- An easier crossing For Castlegar residents who use wheelchairs, city council has confirmed that it will be made easier to roll across the railroad tracks located at ncaa done joititly by CP Rail and the city. The cost to the city will be $2,500. A possible new twia!

A delegation to city council, con- sisting of Gordon and Alexia Turner, Myler Wilkinson and Len Voykin, presented infor- mation about a recent trip the group made to Chem, where they were welcomed with open arms. City council is hoping that a retum visit will be made by representatives from Chern in late May. Teamwork roy said he had also heard that B.C. Hydro sold non-treaty water, and says he finds it very upsetting. Sun Staff Did B.C. Hydro sell non-treaty water to the U.S. for $30 million? While Hydro officials are call- ing the idea a bad rumour, local officials like Mayor Audrey Moore, and MLA Ed Conroy say they would like some answers from the corporation. Moore says she would like to have a meeting set up with Hydro in which questions can be asked. The Mica (Kinbasket) reser- voir was built in 1973 and is the first reservoir at the top end of the Columbia River. Although the volume of the reservoir was required to hold seven million acre-feet of water, it was built to hold 20 million acre-feet due the space available. The 20 million acre-feet of water consists of: seven million acre feet of water (for use as out- lined in the Columbia River Treaty), eight million acre feet of inactive storage (water which own officials. “If they have over- sold, then they're trying to maxi- mize their own benefit.” B.C. Hydro Community Rela- > tions Coordinator Al Geissler dis- agrees entirely. He called the $30 million sell a bad rumour and says he wants to find out where it started. “I'm not sure who keeps feed- ing out this rumour, but none of it is true,” he said. “We've left non- treaty waters alone.” Giesler explained that non- See WATER Adam. explanation? can’t reach turbines in the dam), and five million acre feet of non- treaty water. This five million acre feet of non-treaty water is divided again: B.C. Hydro and the Bonneville Power Authority (American affiliate to B.C Hydro) each own two and one- quarter million acre-feet, while the remaining one half is referred to as a buffer, used to adjust the water level for sudden inflows. With the exception of the two and one quarter million acre-feet of water which is owned by the Bonneville Power Authority (BPA), the remaining non-treaty water is not to be used by the S. And according to B.C. Hydro, which monitors the levels of the non-treaty water, very little of that water has been used—cer- tainly not $30 million worth, said B.C.

Liberal critic visits Castlegar ‘SHARLENE IMHOFF _ Sun Editor Transportation and Highways critic Douglas Symons paid a brief visit to Castlegar yester- day—though his political agenda included more than just a stop in to say hello. "I'd like to become more knowledgeable about this area, especially since I've been asked to speak about issues in Castle- gar,” said the Liberal Caucus member. Accompanied by his wife Marge, the two have embarked off to Osoyoos, where he will chat with civic leaders about vari- ous traffic problems. "It's definitely a good idea to see the traffic problems first hand, and to meet the people who are involved in attempting to make changes,” Symons said, noting a chip truck pass through Columbia Avenue. "I can definitely see why Castlegar is concemed about the chip trucks,” he said. When questioned whether the Liberal party would provide funding for a bridge if they were elected to party, Symons simply said, "I'm not going to make a ona it various regions of B.C.. After their quick visit to Castlegar, the two were I can't keep. I seem to recall a politician who has already done this to the people of Celgar Pulp concerned with high water taxes The Celgar Pulp company is an unhappy taxpayer when it comes to water charges. In 1989, the city worked out an agreement with Celgar which would allow the plant to tie in to the city's chlorinated water main, which runs right past the mill The agreed price was set at 50 cents per 1,000 gallons, which would cost Celgar $10,000 $12,000 annually. Since installing the connection, the average water bill has been closer to $20,000 a year—an expense which Celgar does not want to continue. Even with the current expan- sion taking place at the mill and the extra amount of water needed for workers, officials believe the bill is too expensive, and the plant is considering installing its own water chlorinator. This would cause the city to lose a large amount of revenue. "We'll be meeting with Celgar to find some common ground on this,” said Councillor Lawrence Chernoff. "There's got to be a compromise somewhere.” this area." Symons said he is confident the Liberal party will form the next government— all the more reason to tour the province and meet people now. He also said he no longer believes the Social Credit party will ever regain composure. “We are the free enterprise alternative now—with a social conscious. “If ordinary peop! want representation a. r all the local news and sports the Castlegar Sun
