LTD. proposes the construction of an 88-mile, six and one half million dollar, ten- inch diameter tranmission line, joming the West Kootenay area of Inland’s sys- tem with the Alberta Natural Gas Tr ission line near Kit te, B.C. The line will be used essentially for supplying gas during peak periods and is sized *: large enough to handle emergency situations.

Failure of gas supply “In recent talks with Westcoast Transmission which supplies Inland Natural Gas with their commodity he was told there was enough Natural gas avail- able for industrial use.

Brothers, was quoted on August 16, 1969, in the Trail Times newspaper as follows: - must rest. with those who oppose the link. GAS FOR EMERGENCY The entire.Okanagan Valley and West Kootenay areas are now supplied by a single gas transmission line, operat- ed by Inland. This line originates at Savona, just north of Kamloops, and terminates at Nelson in the West Koo- tenays.. Because of the extremely mountainous terrain in the interior of British Columbia, this pipeline is in constant danger from slides, avalan- ches, washouts, etc. There have been failures and near failures over the past years. Fortunately they have oc- .curred in warm months and in loca- tions where they could be quickly rec- tified so service was maintained. However, we cannot expect this good Juck to continue forever. A major break occurring in some remote area could take up to six weeks to repair. This would certainly result in near disaster for all of the communities downstream from the break. Almost ffected, schools and could close, major plants would be shut down causing widespread layoffs and hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage would no doubt result from the effects of freezing ee all essential public services would be . ASSURED UNLIMITED SUPPLY FOR INDUSTRY The West Kootenay region of Inland’s - “service area has recently been ‘design- ated by the Federal Government for dustrial development grants. Munici- palities and Industrial Development Boards are working energetically for the location of new secondary indus- try. @ The availability of an abundant, se- eure supply of natural gas is an im- portant consideration for any new in- industrial development grants. Munici- an alternative source of supply is a must for those industries that use na- tural gas in their processing. Unfort- unately the West Kootenay area is in a serious position regarding gas sup- ply. The pipeline which now feeds that area is running to full capacity during peak winter periods. It has been ne- cessary in the past for Inland to inter- rupt service to’ industrial complexes such as.Cominco at Trail and Celgar Pulp at Castlegar. It is ironic that, notwithstanding the diligent efforts of di or- on homes, an The secondary.supply proposed by In- Jand would provide natural gas from the south end of the system to cope with any such emergencies. supply is such that there is no further capacity to provide new industry with large quantities of natural gas. GAS COSTS THIRTY PERCENT LESS Inland presently ptrchases all its gas from Westcoast Transmission Pipeline Company who operates a thirty-inch line from the Peace River district of British Columbia and Alberta to an ex- port point at Huntington, where they sell approximately 500 million cubic * feet a day to the U.S. market. Inland has assured all of the author- ities in writing that the gas which would be purchased .and transmitted through the proposed link from the. East Kootenays would not exceed 3,- 650,000 m.c.f. per year, except in the event of an emergency, when addition- al gas would be purchased to handle the emergency only. The cost to In- Jand of purchasing this peak shaving gas from the Alberta system is approx- imately THIRTY PERCENT less than the unit cost of gas on the Westcoast system. Inland’s rates are a UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM ALL Municipalities, Chambers of _Com- merce, Hospital Boards, School Dis- trict, Boards of Trade and Industrial Development: organizations through- out the interior have been vitally con- cerned with gas supply and security of service and, having studied all of the alternatives have endorsed the con- from the East Kootenays.
