2. Pollution Regulations With Respect to the Gravel Industry

The Committee discussed a brief concerning pollution control regulations which
would be presented to the Province of British Columbia. A draft copy of the
brief is attached to this report.

The brief was prepared in response to a request from Premier Barrett that we
provide him with some background on the problems associated with control of the
gravel industry particularly with respect to the lack of adequate legislation
covering this type of operation. The Committee endorses the brief as proposed
and would recommend that Council authorize forwarding a copy of this brief to

the Premier.

3. Wildlife Enforcement

Some time ago Council discussed the problem of lack of enforcement by Conservation
Officers in the Lower Mainland and in particular in the Coquitlam area. The
Environmental Sub Committee has had correspondence with the various departments

of the Government and attached is a letter received from Mr. G.A, West, Regional
Supervisor offering to make himself available to discuss this particular problem
with the Council or Committee, The Committee felt that there may be an advantage

in having Mr. West and Mr. Burrow attend a meeting of Council to discuss the matter

further.
