Columbia River Treaty Dam Projects Credited With Saving Area From Floods

A repetition of the dis- astrous flood of 1948 in Trail and the surrounding area has been averted s0 far this spring by three Columbia River ‘Treaty

jams,

“Water flow in the Col- umbia River at Trail early this month would have rea- ched the 1048 level had it not been controlled by Dun-

chairman.

“Flood damage in Trail commenzes when flow in the river exceeds 234,000 cubic feet per second. So far this year the flow has

been held to about 215,000

“Without the treaty dams in operation the flow would have reached 370,000 efs early this month,” Dr. Shrum declared.

That was the peak flow at Trail during the disastrous spring flood of 1948. Large sections of the city and sur- rounding countryside were inundated, Property damage was very heavy.

Had flooding occurred this year much heavier da- mage would have resulted from increased population density and development in the area.

Burbot Fishing Banned by Branch - Gn Kootenay Lake

The Fish and Wildlife Branch has announced that effective 12 p.m. June 30, all burbot fishing on Koot- en Lake will be closed un- til Sept. $0. ‘

The purpose of the clo- sure is to ensure sufficient escapement of spawning fish and also to ensure am- pis recruitment for 1973

fishing.

Intensive creel census information collected on the burbot fishery at Balfour indicates that already some 10,000 fish have been caught and that by June 30 a projected 17,000 fish will have been caught.

isheries personnel re- commend that the 1972 catch should not exceed 20,000 fish and therefore the seasonal closure’ will be imposed. i

This spring storage of water behind Libby dam al- so is playing a part in Col- umbia River flood control, and next year Mica storage will add further protection.

Dams on Fraser River tributaries are also helping to ease the flood threat posed by abnormal runoff conditions this year.

In addition to the ben- efit derived from storage of flood water behind these dams, Hydro reduced gen- eration at Bridge River by 65 per cent last weekend to cut down the amount of water flowing into the Fra- ser.

Two weeks earller, on request from the provincial water comptroller, water was spilled from Stave Lake reservoir to provide a “cu- shion” for freshet water if conditions became critical.
