: MORATORIUM

‘Continued from page Al
pol told the board the BCMA
was “not one of the most
revolutionary groups in the
province.”

: Vanderpol said he did not
kriow enough about nuclear
pliysics to determine whether
uranium mining could be con:
ducted safely, but he also
challenged Chabot’s expertise
on the subject.

: “The only thing I do know
is when I listen to people who
have studied these materials,
T'm scared,” the Area J director
said. “I'm scared enough to at
least halt for a moment and
consider it seriously.”

In addition to giving notice
of his i ti

more appropriate agency to
police the China Creek ceil
Rutley said a PCB official,
visiting the drill site Inst ny
took samples of water passing
into the drill as well as seepage
from the weir Manny had
constructed to contain the flow.

But the official would not
answer questions on the PCB's
role in the matter and when
asked whether the results of
the tests would be available to
the public he said his super-
visors would decide whether
the information would be re-
leased, Rutley said.

“He is only doing what he
is allowed to do by legislation,”
he said. "We have a situation

which directors will vote at
their next regular meeting—
Vanderpol won board support
for a motion to investigate the
validity of the Regional District
of Thompson Nicola bylaw Rut-
ley suggested could be used as
a restraint on exploration and
mining.

Rutley told directors ear-
lier that under Section 702AA
of the Municipal Act adoption of
such a bylaw “would give to a
regional district authority to
contro! certain types of devel-
opment when used in con-
junction with other parts of
Section 702."

The bylaw, submitted by
Rutley to the board for exami-
nation, requires anyone plan-
ning mining activity to obtain a
development permit from the
regional district board. One of
the requirements for the per-
mit is “the preservation or
dedication of natural water
courses.”

Rutley, chairman of the ad
hoe committee organizing Gen-
elle residents’ opposition to the
drilling, told directors they
were authorized under Section
519 of the Municipal Act “to
enact by bylaw regulations
prohibiting fouling or impeding
any water course.”

Board chairman Art Sut-
cliffe showed reluctance to
consider enacting such a bylaw,
and suggested provincial and
federal government ministries
be requested to deal with the
problem. He pointed out that
such a bylaw could not be
tetroactive to damage which
has already been caused by
exploration.

“In that case, maybe we
can move tonight," Vanderpol
said.

“No way,”
ber interjected.

Asked whether the Pollu-
tion Control Branch would be a

another mem-

where | us
everywhere we turn.”

(Contacted this week PCB
regional manager M.K. Baillar-
geon, the official who took the
test samples, confirmed that
under the Pollution Control Act
the PCB had no direct respon-
sibilities in the matter. He said
he collected the samples on
behalf of the water rights
branch in a joint inspection of
the site with water rights and
mines ministry officials.

(But Baillargeon said he, as
well as water rights branch
authorities, would make results

of the sample tests available to *

the public.

("That's fairly standard
practice,” he said.)

Area H director Norman
Brewster told RDCK adminis
trator Reid Henderson his
examination of the bylaw
should not be “too narrow,” and
asked him to suggest ways of
strengthening any weaknesses
it might have.

On a motion by Area F
director Dave Pearce the board
also followed Kootenay West
MP Bob Brisco's recommenda-
tion that the federal govern-
ment'’s “committee on nuclear
issues in the communityt’ be
invited to convene in Castlegar.

In a letter to the board
Brisco suggested the board
send the committee secretary
an official invitation to a
meeting sometime in early
August.

Reading from the letter,
Pearce noted that the com-
mittee members included bio-
logist and ecologist Patrick
Moore, president of the Green-
peace Foundation as well as
other individuals with exper-
tise in such fields as engineer.
ing, medicine, political science,
physics and worker safety.

gar city council voted to en-

A report to council sald
Vigue explained to the commit-
tee that through the experience
gained by using the gun and the
knowledge he obtained from
reading various publications
concerning the use of the gun,
chemicals and humane killing
methods that he considered
himself “quite qualified to use
the gun expertly and effi-
ciently.”

Vigue told the committee
his use of the gun three times in
the past three years proved he
was being selective and respon-
sible in using the gun, the
report said,

It said the dog control
officer added that the psycholo-
gical factor associated with the
gun proved very useful and he
was prepared to govern the use
of the gun through an agree-
ment.

bring up a few good points” in

Contacted yesterday Jack
Huff, CanCel's vice-president in
charge of pulp production, told
the Castlegar News he felt the
PCB decision was “the right
one, based on the facts at
hand.”

The board considered not
only our facts and figures but
also used their own expertise,”
Huff said.

Asked about the permit

provision allowing CanCel to
apply for an amendment of the

the meeting, told council city
staff .will contact several in-
surance companies to deter-
mine whether lability insur-
ance was available,

Questioned later, commit-
tee member Ald. Gerald Rust
told the Castlegar News the
fish and wildlife branch had
indicated it was not prepared to
offer the dog control officer a
course in use of the tranquilizer
gun, The only other alternative
training was available from the
gun's manufacturer and would
involve a trip to Atlanta, Ga.,
he said.

Rust said the gun has been
municipal property for about 10
years, It was purchased by the
Town of Kinnaird and “used by
the dog control officer of that
day,” he said,

The use of the tranquilizer
gun came under close scrutiny
several months ago when a
residents dog on which it was
used, died. Vigue was ordered
to take instruction on its use
before using it again.

deadline for its power boiler, he
said the company was confident
the renovations to it would
provide Level B emission stand-
ards, but pointed out that the
terms of the upgrading could
not be “diamond-studded and
written in blood.”

Asked whether he foresaw
the mill eventually satisfying
Level A standards, Huff said
such a move would be about "10

- years down the line” and
depend on the technology avail-
able as well as the acceptability
of Level B standards at. that
time.

Emergency.
Landing Here
Sunday Night

Castlegar Airport again
became the focal point of an
emergency air evacuation Sun-
day evening, demonstrating for
the third time since its closure,
which ended ‘May, the vital
link it plays in the district.

At 10:20 a Lear 35 jet
landed, guided by hurricane
lanterns which were strung
along the runway.

Airport manager John
Michelson told the Castlegar
News the aircraft took off
immediately with what he be-
lieves was a Creston woman,

The haste, says Michelson,
was not a matter of saving a life
but in hopes of saving the
woman's thumb.

Though not officially con-
firmed it is understood the
woman had badly mutilated her
thumb when a rope had become
entwined around it while water
skiing. It was also not clear
where the incident had oceur-
red but the flight was auth-
orized by Trail Regional Hos-
pital.

“I submit that before
any regulations are pro-
longed that the control must
be put on those people who
are affecting the problem
and not on those people who
are respecting the rules and
regulations,” he said.

“When the point of
regulations was first broach-
ed by this council this year,
it was made very clear in
advertisements at that time
that there would be no
further warnings. Now
we're going around and
warning people, and I sub-
mit that is not the intent of
the origi regulations pro-
posed,"

The report containing
the recommendation, sub-
mitted to council by Ald.
Albert Calderbank, works
and services committee
chairman, said the water
level in the tank, near Kin-

7,000 people who have made
their wishes very well known,
very clearly.”

“I've been under_no illu-
sions as to what dealings we
would have with the provincial
government,” he said. “Nor do 1
have any illusions as to what we
would have in our dealings with
CanCel.”

He said CanCel, which
agreed in March to lobby
jointly with the city for the
Arrow Lakes tie-in, is respon-
sible for Castlegar’s lack of an
adequate water supply “but has
agreed to nothing.”

“That's the reality,” he

said. “We're in July, we've got
seven feet of water in our tank,
CanCel is still sitting there and*
we're no further than we were
an hour ago.”

Gouk said he felt the water
committee was “making head-
way" with CanCel.

“Whether there’s a prob-
lem with CanCel or not, our
present major stumbling block
is the provincial government,”
Gouk said.

total of 342,860 gallons dur-
ing the 4.6 hours until 9 p.m.
and the total water used
during that period was 534,-
024, the report said,

According to Lutz's re-
port the tank was “filled and
back to normal" 2:30 a.m,
Tuesday, In the Kinberry
Heights tank the level was
down to 15 feet because the
pumps at the school tank
had to be shut down, it sald,
while the Meadowbrook
Road tank was full and its
pumps had been shut off.

Lutz said in the report
he would “like to try present
regulations for another day
or two.” He recommended
that if during that period the
school tank level was drawn
down to 10 feet or lower, the
7am, to 10 a.m. watering
period be unchanged but the
evening sprinkling period
would end one hour earlier
at 8 p.m.

“We do not want to

_ havea moratorium, we don't
want to stop building, we
don’t want to do anything,”
Calderbank told council.
“The only way we can do
that, is to make damn sure
the people obey the regula-
tions. I think it's only fair to
those who do obey the regu-
lations that those who don't
should have their water shut
off.”

He said Rust's points
were “well taken” and he
added that residents must
be made aware that when
the water level sinks to
seven feet “there's very
little margin there.”

Local Forestry
Fights First
Fire of Season

A water bomber attended
the first fire of the season for
the Castlegar area when brush
went into a blaze near the Pass
Creek School.

The fire was contained ina
small area with the help of local
residents and the forestry su-
pression crew.

Safety News.

A woman was driving
carefully along the highway
when there was, a, substantial
bump on the roof of her car. She
was fortunately uninjured, and
learned it was the wheel of a
light aircraft that was having
engine trouble.
