TERRACE — Only 10 days

after warning council a recently

“installed drainage pipe would

not prevent a recurrence of pon-

ding. at Heek. Creek,. Ben. Web-. &
his:: Worst fears .

Ber. has’ seen f
realized. we, :
“Owith® the creek’ now ’ ‘in. full
flow’ ‘after weeks ‘of rain, the
pond which claimed the life of a

; six-year-old boy: last March has

now:-reformed:*‘just like
everybody . Said: it: would, ” he
said. last ‘week.

* Tin’ an Oct. 15 presentation to
douncil;- Webber. maintained a
10-inth: pipe: -instatled ‘ ‘by Sam-
son’s Farm owner Stari Kinkead
would likely quickly become
plugged by: debris washed down
by the creek; causing ponding to
reoccur, :

Plugged or not, he added, the

pipe was too, small to handle the
normal fall’, and spring water
flows. He said that, was also the
opinion of” ‘regional water
inanager Wilf Dreher who, ina
Aug.:2-letter to Kinkead, noted
the city’s engineering .depart-
ment recommended installation
of a 36in. culvert to solve the
problem.

: Pointing ¢ out ‘‘the capacity of
a 10in:' pipe is a mere one-
fifteenth of a. 36in, corrugated
steel pipe culvert,’? Dreher had
added, '‘It is obvious that the
installed pipe: will not be. suffi-
cient.to handle expected flood
flows and will periodically flood
upstream properly.”

Webber said there was a
“misconception Heek Creek was
“like a” run-off. ditch” which

flowed only when it rained. In

fact, he explained, it originated
in a heavily-mossed forest and
large swamp-like area.

"It takes a long time for this
area to saturate’ and it takes a
long time for the swamp ‘to fill
up,” he said. Once that happen-
ed, however, there would be “a
continuous, substantial flow’?
which would continue for the
next. eight: months. Given the
pipe was too small, renewed
looding was therefore in-

Bob Hallsor for suggesting ina. _ Responding to Webber's FULL
July 25 letter to Webber ‘‘that presentation, mayor Jack

Talstra said council “shared his
frustration. However, it was
still unclear whether jurisdiction
