; | ee iia Page AZ — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 20, 1991 Port plan goes pu | lic’ in next couple of wee TERRACE — First details of a planned provincial port at Kitimat should be released early next month, says Skeena MLA ‘Dave Parker. The details will be contained in’ what's called a prospectus, the first document necessary for provincial environmental ap- provals. Parker said the document was approved by the provincial cabinet two weeks ago and will be available for general distribution. He made the comments iast week following a meeting of the port development committee. It’s made up of Kitimat, Ter- race and native officials. That committee will now become a society that will in turn become an official port authority responsible for the development once enabling legislation is passed iater this year, Parker said. The plan is for the port authority, it'll report to the regional development ministry, to construct roads and water and sewer lines to the Kitimat waterfront for loading and unloading facilities to be built by private companies for their own use. .. As? well, the port authority will develop lands surrounding Kitimat for industrial use related to export and import. It also wants to buy the Terrace- Kitimat airport and develop lands surrounding it for com- mercial use. Parker said he was confident first tenders for dredging and for other work will be let in ear- ly fall with activity to begin in November, ‘We'll know by early June ; the response to the prospectus. We'll know if it will have to go to Stage II (a more detailed en- vironmental study) or if there will be approval in principle on the project,” he said... ,, oo At the same.time, Parker cap- tioned that development hinges on it being approved through the provincial environmental review process, “There may not be a project. The MPRP. (major ‘project review process) will decide,” said Parker in adding that public approval is also required. Parker said the estimated - government costs of providing services will be contained in the prospectus but there won't be indications of private sector in- vestment, . That’s because interested companies are waiting to see i if the project is approved before ‘committing any expenditures, he said, Parker reacted to criticism that the port plan is a method to gain votes in the next election. “Contrary to the Opposition’s point of view, I was elected to get things done for Skeena, not to do things to get elected,’’ said Parker.
