A2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 6, 1991 _ Gitksan — Continued from page A1 cutting timber in the Sustut will automatically be blocked until a land claims settlement has been negotiated. And even if Friday's ' decision goes against the Gitksan Wet’suwet'an, says Ryan, the holders of the Sustut licence may still end up the being losers. If the land case ruling goes against them, they are prepared to file immedi- ately for an injunction against cutting in the Sustut. Police — Continued from page Ai matter to forecast because the federal and provincial governments are still arguing about the cost- sharing formula, and it has been suggested that the increase, if there is one, may be phased in. "we've tried to account for it, but we don’t know if it’s enough," Talstra said. "They want a heck of a price. It used to be 70 percent, © but now, who knows? "It’s going to be a tough year for the taxpayer," he concluded. COMMUNITY MEETINGS City keeps pressure on forests minister to get piece of Sustut Terrace city council wrote forest minister Claude Richmond in October 1990 to express concern over the insect infestation in the western reaches of the Sustut- Takla forest licence. At the same time, they suggested it was impos-. sible for the Prince George consor- tium who holds the cutting permit to harvest the diseased trees before their value is lost, an eventuality that would probably occur in the spring of 1991. It would be in everyone’s best interest therefore, said council, if the minister were to allow north- west logging companies, geo- graphically closer than Prince George to the timber, to harvest the trees while they were still reasonably sound. . A reply to this request from Terrace city alderman to the minis- ter of forests for immediate action to avert a spring-time forest disas- ter was never received... that is, until now. Dated Feb. 12, 1991, the reply to the city’s concem comes from K.A. Collingwood, manager of the Prince George Forest Region. Collingwood writes: "The moun- tain pine beetle attacked areas are currently being scheduled for har- vesting by the forest licensees operating in the Takla-Sustut area. The situation is presently being addressed with ongoing monitor-. ing, insect conirol and salvage operations. Thank you for your offer to assist us in facilitating the harvest of insect damaged timber and your interest in this matter."

Land owner appeals | Water Branch order | | Stan Kinkead of Samson’s Poultry Farm has filed an appeal against a Ministry of Environment order requiring him to correct the ponding situation in Heek Brook, which flows through his bench- area property. According to Water Management Branch district manager Wilf Dreher, Kinkead has hired a pro- fessional engineer to prepare a case against that order, issued in early January. That order required Kinkead to submit a plan prior to Feb. 28, prepared by a professional engineer, that would offer a solu- tion to the ponding problem. Kin- kead installed a 10-inch culvert to drain the Heek Brook pond last fall, however, and has maintained since the problem has been ade- quately addressed. . Dreher disagrees. He has said on several occasions that a culvert would have to meet the 1:10 year peak flow for Heek Brook, and that would require a culvert between two and three feet in diameter. According to Dreher, all interested parties have been con- tacted and invited to make written submissions to the appeal process within 30 days. He says any new information found in these sub- missions will be circulated among all interested parties and a 30-day response time will be offered for rebuttal. if you wish to ennounce a.m. weighing 7 Ibs. 13 oz.
