It is far too close at Skim when the minimum ‘distance for safety, as laid « cut by the environment ministry, is at least 8km.:: This is‘because: potentially birds attracted- to ~ the dump present a hazard to planes flying in and out of Tezrace/Kitimat airport. | The regional district would have us believe that just because to date there have been no sig- nificant accidents involving birds and aircraft, there will still be no problem once the dump is expanded to three or more times its capacity. In fact, as-an_ aircraft approaches the airport from the south, it loops around to the north to - approach the runway at a lower elevation, ac- tually flying directly. over the Thornhill dump. I understand the regional district plans to ob- tain a variance from Transport Canada to allow this expansion regardless of the danger it will pose to the people using the airport, | Obviously expansion of the Thornhill dump CORRESPONDENCE FOR THE TERRACE STANDARD C One big problem is the location of the dump!

I would urge anyone eise whois concerned about the our safety to attend the public meeting ‘scheduled for the Regional District Solid Waste ‘Management Plan to be held at the Terrace Inn tonight at 7 p.m. - SS le Chia-Wen Hsu, Terrace, B.C. id Dear Sir I’m worried about the potential of pollution of ‘Thombill Creek through an increase of waste at the Thornhill waste disposal site. Thormhill Creck is located below this disposal " Site and is subject to potential pollution by toxic Toxic seepage into this ‘creek would have 7. devastating destructive impacts to the environ- ment which could affect the Skeena River and the future coho population. ee For a decade Thornhill Creek has been. the ‘mtajor supplier of coho broodstock for the Eby _ +» Street hatchery, The hatchery has produced and released 3.5 million coho smolt, some of which has been released back into Thomhill Creek. Destruction of this creek through any kind of pollution would also have devastating impacts to the salmon population, already been consid- ered a species nearing total extinction: ” We're sympathetic and appreciative to the dif- ficulties facing the regional district to solve its . waste disposal problem. We took the liberty to obtain information from, the environment ministry in Smithers and the regional district office in Terrace regarding the’ expansion of the Thornhill waste disposal site, The results were not favourable enough to jus- tify an undertaking of this magnitude. Extensive research and ground and water tests have to be conducted to prove the expansion will not have a harmful affect on the creck, According to the Smithers environment minis- try no research studies or ground or water tests have been conducted. Unless all above require- ments arc met recommend a cease and desist order against any waste disposal expansion, Logger thinking of political life Dear Sir: | = Tt is time to shake our heads and face reality. Our country is going billions of dollars in debt and we are’ doing nothing to tum this around. : _ Lf we are going to tum this around we have to stop building government bureaucracies and get more people employed in taxpaying industries such as the forest industry. ; _ a Present government bureaucracy has all but made it impossible for logging companies to survive. There are just far too many meaningless: rules and regulations that shut logging down when {t has no real benefit to the logging area involved. ae Logging is constantly being shut down due to so called muddy conditions, but if there are no. lakes or streams Involved, this mud has no adverse effect on the environment. Mud is only wet soil and I haven't seen too many trees growing in the desert lately. = Loggers, more than anyone else, have a great amount of respect for the forests, as they know this is. their livelihood. They are very aware that we must not harm the environment and that new forests must be grown for future generations. Loggers are good, honest, hardworking people, and we must do what ever we can to keep them working. 1 wrote a letter to our local MLA’s about two years will cause more birds to be attracted and there- seepage.
