As many as 200 residents of the area turned out at a public meeting Thursday night at the Burton Community Hall to tell representatives of the Long Drive Cattle Co. of Barriere, B.C., of their fears the feedlot will pollute the air and water and destroy the area’s lifestyle. “‘We've phoned various feedlots and they say, ‘Well, if you are relying on tourism for a living in your area, for God's sake don’t let a feedlot get in,’ "’ Mike Fraitzl said Friday. Fraitzl, a Nakusp resident who had farmed the area for 50 years before retiring from the business last year, told the Castlegar News that all of the local residents who attended Thursday's meeting are against the proposed feedlot “There was not a single person for it,”” Fraitzl said The Long Drive Cattle Co. wants to buy about 300 hectares in West Arrow Park which B.C. Hydro is selling as part of the Crown corporation's plan to divest itself of all Property it bought in the area in the 1960s during construc tion of the Columbia River Treaty dams. The 10 lots now for sale in West Arrow Park are valued at $1.6 million and are part of the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve. The lots range in size from 12 hectares to 96 hectares with price tags ranging from $60,000 to $600,000. Closing date for bids is Sept. 10. The property slopes toward the lake and critics of the feedlot proposal say that much of what they estimate will be 1.4 million litres of urine produced daily by 40,000 cattle will end up in the lake polluting water supplies as far south as the City of Castlegar which draws its water from the Lower Arrow Lake But John Dormer, a spokesman for the Long Drive Cattle Co. killing or driving away fish and said at. Thursday's meeting the company plans to use a system of ditches and a collection area to prevent the liquid waste from ending up in the lake “If there is any movement of water under the surface it will be channeled via the ditches into a low area where it will be held until such time as it evaporates or just simply dissipates,” Dormer told’ the audience, which began to chuckle and eventually broke out into a round of sarcastic applause. | appreciate the support on that,"’-Dormer quipped. There's obviously some experts here in the cattle in dustry Barry Wood, acting regional manager of the provin cial Environment Ministry’s Waste Management Branch in Nelson, said earlier this month he has received a ‘sketchy Proposal from the Long Drive Cattle Co outlining possible methods for dealing with the liquid and solid waste from the cattle. continued on page A2 RDCK director ‘not impressed’ By CasNews Staff The Regional District of Central Kootenay director for Area K said Saturday he is ‘deeply concerned” with the possible environmental impact the proposed feedlot for up to 40,000 cattle may have on the West Arrow Park area at the north end of the Lower Arrow Lake Bill Cuthill, who represents the area in which the feedlot would be built, told the Castlegar News he is also unimpressed with what he said is a lack of research on president of the Long tentative the part of Russ Cummins, Drive Cattle Co. which has plans to buy property in West Arrow Park from B.C.
