The Committee reviewed the memo forwarded by the Chief Bylaw Enforcement Officer
on this subject. Alderman Wright stated that if deliberate enforcement action
is
not taken then there is very little meaning to passing this Bylaw. T. Chong

BURNING AT INDIAN RESERVE

The Committee was advised that both Alderman Gates and T. Chong have visited !he
Reserve to assess the burning operations. While the burning is limited now to
stumps and trees fr om con struction sites and the process is much better
controlled than previously, the resultant smoke and possible
leaching problems
are still a concern to the Committee. The Committee recognized the
special status
of the Indian Band and that everything possible has been done to persuade
them to

cease this burning operation. However, II is apparent that no provincial

Dear I" r. Kirk:
Ths British Columbia Conservation Foundation ls a non-p1 ofit organization dedicated to the

preservation and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitats throughout the province. Ws are
currently assisting ths Provincial Ministry of Environment and Perks and the Public
Involvement Program of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada to establish a storm
drain marking program In ths Lower Frassr Valley.
This program entails painting aysllow fish symbol beside storm drains that discharge Into
fish-bearing waters. Ths attached print lllusirates the symbol which is 12" long and Is applied
using yellow traffic-line paint and a template. A major feature of the program is that ths
marking will be done by public volunteer groups such as Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Fish and Game
Clubs, other community service groups, and individuals. Local schools, particularly those
already involved ln the Salmonlds In Ths Clarroom curriculum, will also have the opportunity
to participate. Ths marking crews will be equipped with reflective safety vesta and ell crews
Involving children will have one or mors adult supervisors. This extensive Involvement of the
Public will hopefully increase their awareness of the Importance of local streams to salmon and
tr out and develop a sense of committmsnt to maintaining Ihe water quality of those streams.
In conjunction with the actual marking volunteers will also distribute brochures to local

residences to inform the occupants as to meaning of ths fish symbol beside storm drains.
Ilopeful ly, this wlil lead to a reduction In the Incidence of materials such as motor oil.
antifreeze, pest icides, detergents snd other substances toxic to fish being disposed of down storm

dratns.
The pr ogram has already received endorsement by ths Municipalities of Surrey and Langley, snd
ws ars anxious to expand the program north of ths Fraser River. We ars therefore requesting
approval and endorsement from the City of Port Coquitlam to conduct a storm drain marking
program within the city boundaries. We would appreciate if such approval could take the form
of a motion of support from ths mayo," and council, followed by written authorization. We would
appreciate your advising Us of ths procedures to follow to obtain such approval.
