A message from the BRITISH COLUMBIA LUNG ASSOCIATION for project costing pared to Kitimat General and no one expected: much of a-problem with asbestos here. It was no surp- tise, therefore, when regional hos- pital district administration pres- ented Bylaw #64 to the board last ‘month for funding ‘a $120,000 asbestos abatement - program in Kitimat. - At last weekend’s board meeting, ‘ however, there was a new revela- ‘tion. The consultant investigating the asbestos problem in the dist- rict’s. hospitals: has’ identified’ a potential problem at Mills that is ‘going to cost $60,000 to fix. The problem at Mills Memorial isn’t particularly serious or urgent. The asbestos insulation covering the hospital’s heating system has to be removed and replaced in order to prevent a problem some- time in the future. The problem for the board, though, is just how to pay for it. There’s not a problem ‘with money because the ‘province will pay 60 percent of the total cost no matter how it’s funded. It’s a matter of where our share of the money will come from. According to regional health care officer Judy Tracy the Ministry of Health wants the hospital district to pay their share of the. cost from Section 20-2 funding. Basically, this is a fund to purchase equip- ment or do repairs or renovations less than $100,000. This fund, though, Memorial amounts to only about $400,000 ‘annually and‘has to cover costs in Terrace, Kitimat, Hazelton, Stewart and Telegraph Creek. Because Section 20-2 funds are limited, then, the board would like to fund it in a different way. Pro- jects over $100,000, such as the one in Kitimat, can be covered by ~ a short-term loan without touching the Section 20-2 fund. The board, therefore, would like to combine the Terrace and Kitimat asbestos ‘projects into one $160,000 project. Ministry of Health staff in Victoria said "no" when Tracy made the request last month, though. Their reason -- the two projects may not proceed at the same time and may not be done by the same contract- or. Last weekend, the board made ‘an Official request to the deputy Minister of Health, however, and they are now awaiting his reply. At the same mecting, the board approved Section 20-2 funding for a number of needed projects and pieces of equipment. In total they spent $50,658 in Section 20-2 funding that will be matched by $97,206 from the province. Mills “Memorial will receive $3,070 to help cover the total cost of $7,675 for the installation of a new X-ray power supply; $3,694 of the total cost of $14,776 for a histology stide stainer; $7,625 of the total cost of $11,437 for an anaesthesia monitor; and a total of $25,461 towards the $101,843 initial cost for thelr nuclear medi- Drowni ng - continued from page At "Reportedly he plans to fill in the entire ravine and subdivide his property," wrote Webber. Webber stated that he didn’t object to the subdivision but that . he did object to the “stagnant lake He continues: "This small pond would be fenced off for the protec- tion of smaller children." Pres- ent at that April 4 meeting, accord- ing to Keen, were himself, Webber and city employee John Colongard. that forms when the seasonal . runoff backs up for 300 feet behind the dam". Webber also wrote in that 1986 letter, "It is no doubt a health hazard, an excellent breeding area for mosquitos in the spring and could be a danger to children playing in the woods, particularly in the winter if they fell through the ice." Webber said that other families in the area had similar objections and concerns and he suggesied that if Kinkead was going to "alter the watershed area" that he should be required to provide alternate drain- age and also hold appropriate municipal permits before the work began, Meetings and discussions fol-. lowed this letter and on June 25, 1986, Webber got an official fesponse from city engineer Ralph . Keen in a letter entitied "Samson's Farm - In-filling of Ravine Pond". In it, Keen noted that an agrec- ment had been reached at about 3 "pan, Friday, April 4, 1986, where- _. by Webber’s property would be . ,' filled in.as a first priority and that would be followed by "progres- sively working from cast to west until the pond would be eliminated - - except for a small pond immedi- ately adjacent to the face of the earthen dam now existing". According to Keen’s letter, the points described above then went to the Public Works and Transpor- _ tation Committee and their recom- mendations were approved on Apr. 28, 1986, by council Resolution #449, This resolution had five main points. First, Webber’s property would be filled at least one-foot higher than the high water mark created by the pond. Second, earth from the initial fill-in would come from a hillside on Kinkead’s prop- erty while the balance would come from excavation projects in. the Terrace area as it was received. . This, according to the resolution, would: leave a small pond next to . the dam. Third, the cast end of the pond, particularly the section located on | Webber's property would ‘be elim- -inated by. the end of August, 1986, and the remainder of the fill-in and the erection of a “protection fence" would be completed by Aug. 31, 1987. Fourth, when Kinkead decided to proceed with in-filling the ravine upstream of his dam, it would be required to in-fill ravines further upstream from his own property to the east (Webber's property) and the «southeast (Mr. Anderson’s cine installation. This latter item will purchase four pieces of - nuclear medicine equipment: a dose calibrator, a thyroid uptake system and printer, a film pro-— cessor system, and a multisample gamma counter, — ; The board didn’t reléase any money: for the orthopaedic C-arm in Kitimat, though. John LeSage " told the board that Kitimat General had bought the C-arm two years ago with the belief they had an orthopaedic surgeon on the way. A few weeks later though, he changed his mind and they’re still looking for a surgeon. ‘But according to LeSage, since it was purchased, the C-arm has been used by visiting orthopacdic sur- geons in 92 operations totalling 42 fours and the Regional Hospital Board and the province ‘should each release their agreed-upon share of the full purchase price. "Why does there have to be a name attached to it?" LeSage ques- tioned referring to the surgeon. The government and the board, however, are apparently going to maintain their original position. — The money will be released when Kitimat gives them the ‘name of their newly hired, full-time, ortho- paedic surgeon. The board’ did agree, though, to write a leiter to the Ministry of Health that the C-arm was being tsed;. if they change their minds, the Regional Hospital District will, too, property) where two small streams enter the ravine. It-was also noted here that at this point "suitable storm sewer drainage pipes, catch basins and sumps to the approved design of the City Engineer will have to be installed to properly drain the catchment basin which is | upstream of Mr. Kinkead’s prope- al The fifth and final point in coun- cil’s 1986 resolution reads as foll- ows: “At the present time the water behind the earthen dam ‘is drained away through a layer of _ sand in the soil sub-strata at this site. It is a condition of the agree- ment that should this sand layer fail to adequately handle the water flows from the catchment area upstream of Mr. Kinkead’s prop- erty at any time in the future, Mr. Kinkead will be required to install the storm sewer system forthwith, as described in point 4. above." Keen then closed this official acknowledgement of agreement by stating: "It is‘considered that this agreement. will answer all the concerns of the upstream property owners, and at the same time allow sufficient time and flexibility for Mr. Kinkead to complete the necessary work." After reading Webber’s most recent letter city council invited him to a planning and public works committee meeting April to discuss the matter. . The Terrace Review attempted without success to contact Stan Kinkead for his response. cette re Rn Weg a ce ee ae —== = Sad eae :
