CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, December 1, 1977 _ To Set Resource Ma jement Guidelines ~ Land Use Plan Due in March A land-use and resource- management plan is being pre- pared for the south end of Lower Arrow Lakes. .. Representatives of several government agencies have formed a committee which expects to finish the plan by March 81, 1978. It will outline how much settlement should be allowed, how wildlife should be protected and where logging should or should not be per- mitted. The plan will be drafted by a subcommittee of the Koote- - nay Resource Management committee, which represents most government branches in- volved in land use. ‘There will be public meet- ings held, probably in Castle- gar, to give citizens a chance to say what they think should be done with Lower Arrow Lake land. The government branches working together are doing so" in an atmosphere of coopera: tion. They each have indepen- dent jurisdiction over some aspect of land use such as forestry, fish and wildlife or highways and cannot really tell each other what to do.
