0 fear of floods

Jonathan Green
NEWS REPORTER

Kootenay Lake levels are
going through their annual
spring rise, but a desperate
dash for sandbags won’t be
necessary.

West Kootenay Power’s
Mike Bradshaw said he
doubts any areas will be af-
fected by the lake’s rise.

Bradshaw said the area
was last flooded in 1961, three
years prior to the signing of
the Columbia River Treaty.

Since then, Bradshaw said
the building of dams and prop-
er management of area water-
ways makes the chance of a
flood remote.

ous rivers and lakes along the
Columbia River system are
much better controlled,” he
said, adding that only an act of
God might precipitate a flood.

“Unless it were to rain for
40 days and 40 nights, I don’t
think we would have to be con-
cerned about a flood again.”

WKP has said the lake will
rise to an estimated peak of
1747 feet, roughly four feet
lower than last year’s level.

“Tt was higher than it had
been in about 10 years,” he
said.
