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.

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, ”
