A10- The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 24, 1994 Paint recycling program | called hazy, unrealistic RESIDENTS of the Kitimat- Stikine regional district will soon have a recycling depot for household paint, according to the provincial environment ministry. A Tew government regulation forces paint brand-owners to set” up 43 recycling depots for waste paint in B.C. by September 1. But James Matkins, the spokes- man. representing the provincial and national paint manufacturers, sald this date set by the ministry is unrealistic. ‘To have it all up and running by September 1 Is impossible,”’ said Matkins. ‘‘September has become very important to the government — it’s a political date set according to some other timeline that we don’t under- stand," The ministry recently created a regulation forcing paint brand- owners to set up 10 paint recy- cling depots in the Greater Van- couver Regional District, five in the Capital Regional District and one in each of the 28 other regional districts by first of Sep- tember, As of January 1, 1995 the in- dustry stewardship program would expand to include a depot within 10km of every paint relailer in rural areas (population under 25,000) and 4km in urban areas, said Bob McDonald, en-. vironment ministry communica- tions manager. Matkins said he feels the pres-. sure placed upon the paint indus- , iry to comply with the regulation - by the beginning of September could cause environmental prob- . lems. “T's disappointing that the ministry is going ahead with this so arbitrarily and not giving us the time to organize this properly and safely,’’ Matkins said. “You can’t just arbitrarily dictate this kind of thing or you risk creating more environmental problems.” The fine for failing to comply with the regulation by the set time is $200,000 plus brand-owners would not be able to sell paint in the province until an approved stewardship program is in place, said environment ministry spokesman Dean Seyker. He feels this fine is reasonable given the amount of time the in- dusiry has had to prepare. “*This is no surprise to them be- cause it’s been going on for two years now,’’ Seyker said, *“We’ve even offered the services of a consultant to help them get going and theré’s no reason for them to be stalling.’’ The plan is to set up the depots in existing Tecycling centres or at municipal sites, Seyker said. -However, neither the Kitimat recycling centre nor the Kitimat- Stikine regional district have been approached by the paint industry. “*If they haven’t approached us by now it doesn’t make sense,”’ said Wendy Clement, president of Kitimat Understanding the En- vironment (KUTE). ‘You need Alcan to fight union push_. for another Kemano review ALCAN HOPES a September court date will end a push to have its Kemano Completion Project undergo a provincial environmen- lal review. The United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union (UFAWU) is asking for the teview by way of-a petition to the B.C. Supreme Court. It also wants Alcan to apply for an energy project certificale, something that did not exist in 1950 when Alcan was first granted its licence to take water from the Nechako River to pro- duce hydro-electricity. But Alcan spokesman Les Hol- toyd says the union is merely irying to delay what has alréady been an extensively examined project, ‘We're saying we already have an energy project certificate by way of our 1950 water licence and we have done all the environ- mental studies,’” said Holroyd. He added that the UFAWU position doesn’t make any sense given the recent nine-month probe of the $1.3 billion Kemano Completion Project by the B.C. Utilities Commission © which ended earlier this month. “We've just gone through’ a public hearing process under the same legislation the union is now saying we should be subject to all over again,”’ said Holroyd. *“We regard the licence in 1950 as good then as it is today,’’ he continued,. : Alcan states its Kemano hydro- electric project. using Nechako River water was only half fin- ished in the early 1950s when a dam and generating station were built to power its Kitimat smelter. ’ Groups say Alcan’s plan to take more Nechako water under what the company calls Kemano Com- ‘pletion should be treated as a separate project. Alcan’s application to have the UFAWU petition struck down is — expected io take place. Sept. 22- 3.

Bob Marcellin, regional district administrator, said he has not heard anything about the depot from the paint industry either. “The only information we’ve got is some background informa- tion from the ministry about a month ago,’ said Marcellin. “But it’s not supposed to be tax- payer driven — it’s supposed to be run by the industry.”’ Help open doors for Diabetes io6) : Please Volunteer Coll 732-4934 oF emcees. ‘r400-065-46526 Ga] sscis | | cxtaome, Locally Owned - & Operated Our friendly, knowledgeable staff have over 70 years combined experience to. help them serve you better.
