Shames to come up with
sewage problem solution
SHAMES MOUNTAIN Ski
Corp. has made the province’s list
of polluters for poor sewage treat-
ment at the ski hill last winter.
The Ust of “significant non-
compliance” with waste manage-
ment permits cites Shames for
discharging effluent into Gal-
loway Creek that exceeds pennit
levels for total suspended solids.
B.C, Environment waste man-
agement officer Hoa Le said a
recycling pump malfunctioned at
the hill last winter.
It was replaced in February, but
poor test readings continued.
Le said Shames is supposed to
get back to him in a few days
time. ;
“Hopefully they’ll be able to
come up with a plan of action to
investigate the problem and fix
the problem by the time opera-
tions start in mid-Novembe?,’’ he
said.
Shames also failed to report
monitoring results from October
through Febmary last season, ac-
co. ding to the report.
Long-term offenders for this
region remain Skeena Cellulose
Inc’s Prince Rupert pulp mill and
Alean’s Kitimat = aluminum
smelter.
Alcan was cited for accidental
effluent discharges, most of
which occurred because of flood-
ing caused by storms or ice-jams.
SCI’'s pulp mill exceeded stan-
dards for air emissions four
months last winter, and for liquid
effucnt discharge in November.
Environment minister Mo
Sihota singled out Skeena Cel-
lulose among the long-time pol-
luters on the list.
“T am still concemed with the
operations which have appeared
in this report for many years,”
Sihota said. “‘Both the Greater
Vancouver Regional District’s
Annacis Island sewage treatment
plant and the Skeena Ccllulose
pulp mill in Prince Rupert have
appeared eight times
B.C. Environment laid 238 en-
vironmental. charges in the six
months from Oct. 1, 1993 to

One firm charged was Tri-City
Refrigeration, of Terrace.
The company had an accident at
the wrong place — the environ-
ment ministry’s offices in
Smithers, where they were servic-
ing radiators.
Some anti-freeze leaked from
pipes into the parking lot.
Officers stepped oulside to in-
vesligate reports of red stains in
