Dam inspection
slows production

Neil Rachynski
NEWS REPORTER

_ Pope and Talbot’s opera-
tions have had some water
problems.

The water drawn from the
Hugh Keenleyside Dam was
substantially decreased from
Monday to Thursday to carry
out a dam inspection.

The resulting low levels on
the Columbia River down-
stream from the dam caused
some interference with Pope
and Talbot’s operations.

From Monday to Wednes-
day the water coming out of
the dam ranged from 20,000
cubic feet per second down to
as low as 5,000 cfs.

On Thursday, the water tap
was shut off completely for
five hours.

“(Thursday) has been
tough,” P & T’s resident man-
ager Bob Coutts said.

“We’ve had a fair bit of
down time because of the
shortage of logs,” he said. “Our

elevators don’t go low enough
to get the logs on the land.

“We have no real inconve-
niences unless the water level
(from the dam) goes below
10,000 (cubic feet per second),”
Coutts said.

Gary Birch, B.C. Hydro’s
senior environmental co-ordi-
nator, says Hugh Keenleyside
must be examined every six

ears,

Birch said the dam is about
a year-and-a-half behind on its
safety inspection.

“There was one planned for
for spring of 1991, but that
was halted because (the Min-
istry of the Environment) said
it must be co-ordinated with
the Celgar expansion.”

Coutts gave B.C. Hydro
credit for making an effort to
keep P& T in touch with what
was going on.

“B.C. Hydro has main-
tained a very close dialogue
with us, ” Coutts said.

“I expect they’ve done as
well as they could,” he added.
