A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 20, 1995 Well water will have to wait. THE NEW city water well won't be on line until next summer. That’s the word now that the city has‘a deal with CN for land on which to run a water line — but no time.to complete the pro- ject before winter. “Because of how late this has gotten’ and the difficulty ‘we'll have in paving in October, we're now looking at construction and tendering it first thing in spring — and having it on line for sum- mertime,”’ said Herb Dusdal, the | city” s assistant. director of - engineering. The city has spent the summer tying to geta right-of-way along CN land — between the railway - and highway from Frank St to Kenney — in which to place the water line. The well itself was working fine and producing plenty of gaod quality water at the beginning of this year, — CN. initially demanded ‘$107,000 for a 20-year lease for the strip of land —- much more than the roughly $10,000 the city had expected to pay. In the end, the city agreed to CN’s reduced price of $43,000, said Dusdal. He said the price cut came after CN re-examined the land and agreed it wasn’t worth as much because it already has water lines and other infrastructure in it, The city won't actually pay the moncy, he said, but will keep it as a credit for CN to pay for ex- pected future subdivisions and rezonings of the company’s land holdings. Engineering director Stew Christensen had just given up on CN and opened negotiations with the highways ministry to run the line beneath Hwy 16 West when CN came back with the lower price, The city has so far spent $210,000 = on exploration, - engineering and digging the new water well, The. bulk of the $1.2 million to- tal project budget — to be two- ' thirds subsidized by a federal- provincial infrastructure grant — SCI seeks research cash MANY ‘OF the local projects receiving money this year from Forest Renewal BC focused on the practical side — identifying if logging: had caused any damage and figuring out how to fix it But Skeena Cellulose is hoping FRBC will agree to spend some of the. dollars from the next round of largesse on needed research work.’ Company forester Rick Brouwer outlined three projects SCI has in mind. ot One would try to establish how far in from the edge of a stand of trees you have to -be before you find what aré known as interior forest conditions. Cutting permits can require companies to leave uncut strips of trees, ‘the idea being these offer movement. corridors for wildlife ’ which. ‘would shy away from the open spaces of a clearcut, The question, Brouwer said, was whether these leave strips achieved that goal. If wildlife was unlikely fo use them because they edits were not wide enough to provide the interior forest conditions it re- quired, what was the point? Al the same time, he conceded that if the study showed the strips were not wide cnough, the argu- ment could be made they should be widened, not dispensed with. However, Brouwer emphasized, without research it was im- possible to draw any realistic conclusions. Another proposed project would compare old growth and second growth forests to identify what characterizes an old growth forest and establish at what point a second growth stand begins to mimic those characteristics. No such work has been done here yet, he added. Finally, SCI wants to look at goat habitat, detailing where it is “and its characteristics, Brouwer said that would not only help de- velop an inventory of such habitat but aiso make it possible to work out whether new areas of opera- RN Pay We SKEENA VALLEY (he Aid valde) teat) ool FALL FAIR Won laland Kenworth Terrace Totem Ford Northern Motor Inn Re-Max Tetrace Neid Enterprises Tolsec Canada Jasak Logging Cedar River Timber Thornhill Husky Paragon Insurance Overwaitea Coast Tractor Thornhill Motors All West Trading Don Hull & Sons Wayne Brald Ken's Marine Akita Transport Terrace Truck & Diesel Intemational Truck Ev's Mens Weat Houlden Logging Tri Star Logging Ltd.

A new source has been needed since the Deep Creek reservoir dam failed a few years ago, Since then the city has pumped increasing amounts of water out of the Skeena — resulting - in muddy, sediment-laden water in local taps in the summer as the flow from Deep Creek tails off. That problem should end once the new well is hooked up. Summer sprinkler restrictions likety won't end however — not because there’s not enough water, but because the city is limited in the rate at which it can pump the water to the bench.
