A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 1], 1998 SCI explores ways hush noisy chipper SKEENA CELLULOSE is promising to investigate a series of new options aimed at muffling the thumping and booming noise of the chipper in ils log yard. Woods manager Derrick Curtis told city councillors Friday ‘the most promising solution is the possibility of putting a mibber lining in- side the large drum debarker, from which the noise emanates that keeps locals awake. That possibility and also the prospect of a noise dampening sheath near the end of the drum will be ex- lored, Curtis said, but added he does not yel have a cost estimate, But he said it could be a couple of months before ci- ther of those solutions is in place — if they’re even af- fordable. Besides those two pros- pects, he said, he’s ordering that hay bales be stacked higher to six metres high and that logs be located in between the chipper and Hwy 16 in an attempt to fur- ther muffle the noise. He said he'll also look at a Suggestion from city bylaw enforcement officer Frank fixed. A GLITCH in the system delayed the arranging of a bus to transport home Jerrace-bound passengers. from a Canadian Regional Airlines flight that had been diverted to Prince Rupert because of weather. The flight took place Oct. 23, two days before Cana- dian Regional officially took over the Vancouver- Terrace run from its parent, Canadian Airlines, And while there might have been a delay then, the policy is clear when fog forces an aircraft to Prince Rupert, says a Canadian Regional spokesman. ‘We now have proce- dures in place so this won't happen again,”’ said Dean Brawa. “If the flight can’t land in Terrace, there will be a bus in Prince Rupert.”” Unlike the schedule of- fered by Canadian Airlines which featured a Vancowver-Terrace-Prince Rupert Triangle, these flights are all direct. Bowsher, who is convinced running smaller logs at night will produce less noise. Bowsher also suggested more care be taken by oper- ators loading the unit, which is owned and operated under contract by Don Hull and Sons Contracting. — But Curtis gave no response to what Bowsher maintains is ithe ultimate Solution: the chipper be housed within a building. Bowsher’s latest report to council rejects the compa- ny’s contention that such a Structure could run into the millions of dollars. He says the city’s building inspection department estimates it could be built for about $100,000. Bowsher also said the manufacturer of the chipper maintains it’s not normal to operate the unit in the open near residential areas, “T have once again spoken with the company in Ala- bama where this equipment was purchased and once again they say it should not be operating in a town if not enclosed in a building with the conveyor belt outside to “The whole city is now hearing, this machine,’’ he says, adding complaints are coming from as far away as Braun’s Island to the south, Dutch Valley to the north and Benner St. on the bench to the east. Air conditions determine how far the sound will travel, and Bowsher sug- gesis the sound could in- tensify as temperatures get colder. The report also urged council to begin levying fines under the noise bylaw if the problem isn’t rec- tified. But Bowsher said the company’s pledge to con- tinue the search for soli- tions is good enough for’ him for now, If no significant improve- ment happens, he said, ‘‘the answer ultimately will have to be a building.”’ A number of councillors have signalled they have little appetite for harsh penalties given the region's struggling economy. “If we don’t have jobs there’s going to be a lot more hardship if we can’t Elks No. 2.40. 4 Mustang, Herb Bujak, Delta, lergrove No. 66. 2nd Prize: Ford 1st Prize 1999: Ford Windstar or Ticket No.: 114352, Sold by: Ald Escort or Ranger Pick Up, Marjorie Hanson, Cortes Island, Ticket No: 091888, Sold by: Campbell River Elks. 3rd Prize: Yamaha (Choice), Dorothy Garner, Ticket No: 121630, Sold by: Smithers Prize: Trip for Two to Las Vegas, Allred Frenchie, Nanaimo, Ticket No; 052832, Sold by: Nanaimo Elks. load fogs,” Bowsher’s pay the rent or feed our report says. kids,’ councillor Linda B.C.
