Route.not known

TERRACE — B.C. Hydro will wait another month before deciding on which side of the Kitimat Valley it will build a se- cond power line to carry surplus Power. from. Alcan’s Kemano . completion project.

Project... -manager Mike Gwilliam sald last week offi cials. froin” the-' Department ‘of Fisheries and Oceans, the Ministry of Forests, and fish - and wildlife officials want more

time to review the environmen-

tal impact studies.

One of the two routes under consideration follows the ex- isting power line along the east side of the valley, while a new option would run the line down the west side. B.C, Hydro wants

to: build the new 287-kilovolt

. line so it can buy up to 800 megawatts of extra power from

Alcan and transfer it to the pro- _ Vincial grid when Kemano

comes on line four years from

now,

Gwilliam ° ‘says ‘the company has not decided on a route and won’t until the final studies are finished and; have been cir- culated to the public.

“We would be making up our minds toward the latter part of April to early May,”’ Gwilliam said. Company officials hope to submit the application for the project to the B.C. Utilities Commission by mid-May, he added.

He said the final reports will be made public through B.C, Hydro district offices and libraries by mid-Apzil.

The initial findings of the en- vironmental studies — released at public meetings last month —

Recycle proposal draws worries

TERRACE — A ely decision to include; r part of an overajl:waste Imanagement study is nt what local recycling advocates had in mind.

“It’s kind of a surprise,’

Skeena Protection Coalition spokesman Maureen Bostock said last week of $10,000 to be spent on the city’s solid waste dispoal methods. ' The study will compile a waste management plan, with recycling as one component, director of engineering Stewart Christensen said.

“‘That’s not exactly what we had in mind,’’ Bostock said. ‘We understood they were go- ing to use this money to apply for a feasibility study directed specifically at recycling.”

She said the budget indicates aldermen may not be as serious about recycling as they seemed to be when the group first lob- bied council last fail.

Several aldermen spoke in favour of recycling then, and council gave approval-in- principle for adopting recycling as part of Terrace’s waste management policy. .

Bostock said the budget means the city is moving slower: on recycling than first thought, and ‘‘won’t get as far as they would otherwise.”

**We definitely intend to see recycling go ahead in this com- munity,’’ she said. ‘'The * thought that it might not hap- pen in Terrace just isn’t accep- table, ”
