TO. END, REGIONAL DISTRICT CONCERNED TERRACE ~— Members of the Economic Development Com- mission of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine have asked for a review of reports from the federal government and Skeena MP Jim Fulton concerning the lifting of a 17-year moratorium on offshore oil exploration. The commission has also requested regional district staff to provide more information. by Tod Strachan Regional District Adminis- trator John Pousette told the commission that two major companies, Petrocan (formerly a Gulf Oil contract) and Chev- ron, have rights to westcoast ex- ploration and, with the lifting of the moratorium, a lot of opposi- tion is building. ‘‘Especially in- volving ashing and land claims issues,’’ he explained. Pousette said, ‘“We have here an issue that could become a very substantial part of our economic structure for the next 20 years,’’ One of the prime concerns of the Economic Development Commission was expressed by. regional district chairman Les Watmough, who said it is diffi- cult to understand if the govern- ment is considering seismic ex- ploration or test wells, ‘Wells can be brought into production very quickly,’’ ex- plained Watmough, ‘‘But seismic’ exploration wouldn’t have any immediate impact.”’ Watmough said tneic 1s a great difference between ex- ‘ploration and development, and that line could be easily crossed if test wells were.used i in explora- tion. Ruth Hallock added to that by saying that Fulton had ‘‘brought out some very valid points’’ and he should be invited to a com- mission meeting to outline those - in more detail because they should. be considered by. the ‘commission before: they” take*an™ official stand on the issue. “I don’t think we’re really op-. posed to the exploration,’’ said ‘Hallock, ‘‘But we want to make sure that same sort of protection is written into any agreement.”* Hallock explained, ‘‘More -concern with the quality of life has to be built in. Money isn’t everything, and we have a quali- ty of life here that needs to be protected,’’ | In his letter, Fulton explained that the: federal government will “soon lift a moratorium’ on oil and gas activity that had been put in place during the early seventies due-to concerns raised by fishermen, Northwest com- munities, natives and environ-. mentalists. ‘He pointed out that by lifting the moratorium, “There. are “very ‘serious concerns over how’ __the resource will be managed to prevent negative impacts. on_our coastal communities and ensure continued on page 24 The.
