This is-a first. for us and access didn’t really enter our,minds.”” Quast said that Bell Pole ap-: proached the ministry with a proposal to log the Kitselas area . about two years ago, and when they looked at the development plan, which included a proposed access route to the area, the ministry’s reaction was to say, ‘Fine, It’s never been a problem before.” He explained that the amount of wood coming out of the Kit- selas area in past years has been relatively small: Bell Poile’s pro- out of Little Oliver ‘Creek, but that area will only stand a cer- ~ tain harvesting rate. posal is the first major licence in recent times.

Their initial chart area covers about 40,000 cubic metres, so roughly there’s about three years of wood in there for them.” * He added that the cutting period is only an estimate and depends on the rate of harvest, He said if Bell Pole takes wood out of other areas the cutting period will be longer but will also result in a lighter volume of annual traffic on Halliwell. - T | Fine Dining 7 In quiet surroundings! 5'p.in. — 10 p.m. 4620 Lakeise Avenue . / 638-8141 | @dieeu- DONUT Ray Yay Specializing in Chinese Cuisine and Canadian .

Quast explained that it is dif- ficult to find suitable cutting areas for Bell Pole due to their specialized product. . “They're picking up their . poles from a mixture within tim- ber stands,’’ he explained, ‘“‘and . they’re little short of suitable logs over the long term, so we're looking hard for extra chart “areas for them.” *’ Quast said that the minstry is looking at other areas for Bell Pole, but in the meantime if they fail to utilized the Kitselas ‘area their cutting rights in that area. could be in jeopardy. . “It would have to be review- ed”, he said. ‘‘Because when a licensee has an annual allowable. cut there are certain regulations that. they must follow in main- ‘taining their annual allowable. cut, It’s a concept of use it or lose it.”’ .
