ON THE PURCHASE OF MOFFAT and P in the Slocan Valley in the early 1990s that closed Highway 6. The province has also paid “substantial” damages to two local residents whose property was affected by the mudslide, says the executive director for the Sierra Legal Defense Fund. “This case is one of the first forestry malpractice lawsuits in the province,” Greg McDade said in a telephone interview with The Castlegar Sun However, Ian Haman, opera- tioms manager for the Arrow For- est District, said the case isn't precedent-setting. “This is not the first time this has happened,” Haman said in an interview. Haman said there have been a number of similar landslides, and pointed to a slide near Joe Rich, outside of Kelowna. Haman said the Attorney Gen- eral Ministry, which handled the case for the prdvince, recom- mended settling out of court, and that's why the province admitted to creating a “nuisance”. The province settled years ago with one of the three residents affected. The two other residents were represented by McDade. McDade said the mudslide occurred above Cape Horn Bluffs between Slocan and Silverton. _ The area above the bluffs was logged in the the 1970s and early + 1980s, McDade said. But the slide didn’t take place until the spring of 1990 following a heavy rainfall McDade said the slide on May 30, 1990 was in fact three sepa- rate slides which roared down Memphis Creek, Cory Creek and Van Tuy! Creek. The slides scoured the creeks, tore out a section of Highway 6 and caused extensive damage to the private properties that are located below the road. Highway 6 was closed for three days because of the damage McDade said the slides deposited “tonnes of gravel and mud all over their (the two resi- dents’) land.” As well, he said the debris killed many of the trees on the properties and took out the water supply to the tw6 residences. “It didn't wipe out any homes,” McDade said, but one residence was “surrcunded” by mud that measured nearly a meter deep. “The yard was destroyed,” McDade added. McDade said that the Sierra Legal Defense Fund didn't sue the forest company that clearcut the land above the bluffs because the company was only adhering to its logging permits. So it sued the Ministry of Forests instead, “The permits were negli into the creeks. “That's the main causerof the landslide. If the roads hadn't been built, it wouldn't have happened.” McDade said clearcutting also played a part in the runoff. And he blamed the lack of road maintenance. But McDade said maintepance of old logging roads isn't just a problem in the Kootenays. “This is a consistent problem ly given out,” McDade said, adding that the logging should never have been approved in the first place. The civil case went to the Supreme Court of B.C. After three years of pre-trial proceed- ings, the province finally admit- ted to the damages “The primary culprit was the (logging) roads,” McDade said. Evidence presented in the case included a statement by Haman which warned as early as 1983 that the area was a fragile high- risk mountainside McDade said the roads helped funnel water and debris ghout the p } He said the roads need to be kept up in order to prevent problems like the slide in the Slocan Valley. McDade said the problem of landslides on logged land is also common throughout the province. However, little is heard about it because it happens on Crown land instead of private Property. “Forestry is causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage every year, to public land.” He said environmental damage caused by slides should be con- sidered one of the costs of log- ging on Crown land, but isn’t.

The area is zoned regional co ial because it is close to Highway 3 and the existing mobile home parks in the area can be easily developed for com- mercial uses. He also notes that the property is “less desirable as _a residential site” because it is surrounded by a muffler shop, a tire shop and a bus depot. Still, he says demand for low- cost housing is increasing and the proposed development “will add to the available affordable hous- ing units.” As well, he said despite its sur- roundings, the property is close to shopping centers and “that may be a very favorable feature for many people”. He suggests one way to deat with the zoning issue is to con- vert a portion of the area from regional cial to mixed- use transition and encourage higher density residential devel- opment mixed with commercial development.
