Sy MICHAELOWLENT Herald Stafi Writer ' TERRACE— Although it appears that _ hopes of an early start-up of the Lakelse Lake Hotsprings is not possible, groups interested in getting the springs back into use are’ confident preparation work - carried out this year will see some development begin next year, Since plans for a large-scale recreation complex fell through last year, the ministry of lands parks and housing: ap- pears to be ready to consider smaller diversified uses’ of the springs and has ‘taken some steps to give local “people ” control over future development. The ministry recently hired a consultant to do a $15,000 study looking into the technical aspects of setting up- greenhowes using the springs. as a heat _souree, ond has apparently transferred operational ‘control over the site-.to Its Smithers branch from -Vietoria. The greenhouse study is being carried _ aul by the ministry of agriculture and food for the ministry of lands parks and housing. Mike Oswell, the executive director of product services with the ministry of agriculture and food, says.the study will take in such factors as light availability and the abjlity of greenhouses to withstand heavy snowfall, but: will mainly look at - technical aspects ‘of the hotsprings potential.as a heat source.: “We'll be looking at the resource. itself, “Oswell says. ‘We want to know its capability to be utilized to produce heat for a greenhouse operation. This would in- volve knowing: its flow and temperatures, etc. Then we would be looking at the size... of greenhouses which would: be feasible and at the potential market for products in ‘the-area” ast" 6H Ferenc, ‘of "Don" Petenee” ‘and Associates i in Vancouver, is carrying out the study for the agriculture ministry.” Ference says there have been a significant number of recent develop- _. ments in greenhouse ‘technology and says part ‘of the study will be devoted ‘to determining which ones are suitable to the Lakelse area, Waler management people have ‘already . ‘been out to the site-and verified tem- perature and. flow rates previously monitored al the springs. site, Ference ~ "says. Commercial greerihouse operations in the south require up (6 45,000 square feet of ' preenhouse space to be profitable. This usually involves the use of ten 30 by 150 - "foot greenhouses Ference says, although operations west of Prince George have proven feasible with as little as 20,000 square feet of greenhouse space. Drilling for water is very difficult, Ference says; because the source of-a _hotsprings may be up to4 miles away from where the springs hit the surface. Even if the source could be found, he says the \ ‘discovery can create problems because . the water taken out at the source must be. replaced, ‘ .Waler which makes it Bway to- the sur. . face is excess water and Ference believes- any greenhouses would probably be heated — from the large pools currently located in _ the hotel-pool complex. Such a system would be compatable with some recreation uses since the water would only drop 20 degrees from = greenhowe use, Ference says. Since it originates at 130 degrees, it would mean ' - the same water could reach swimming pools at around 110 degrees, ‘he says. “] think this leaves room for. joint usage," Ference says. ‘One could cer-. tainly run both uses out of the same pool.” Thestudy is expected to be completed by ‘late August and willbe submitted to. agriculture and food and lands, parks and * housing. The information will be made available - to potential” ‘greenhouse en- trepreneurs if the concept proves feasible, . say ministry. officials, and. those en-: trepreneurs. will be encouraged to submit proposals for developments at the springs. The concept of join-usageis important to the Lakelse Hotsprings.

Although association mmebers now have set back’ their timetable to next summer, ‘they are pleased with recent developments’ in their relations with the ministry.of lands parks and ‘housing. .
