Coalition chairman Pat Moss
says federal environment

- minisler Jean Charest is stalling
a full public environmental ..

review of Alcan’s Kemano

‘Completion Project.

“ “He is saying he has to be re-
quested by one of the initiating
ministries to call the indepen-
dent panel review,’’ Moss said
last week. ‘“‘But the environ-
ment ministry is an initiating
ministry itself. He can call for
the panel review right now.”

. Officials at the Department
of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)
— one of the federal ministries
studying the project — expect to
complete their initial internal
review of the project by early
fall and then decide whether it
should request a full panel
review — the highest level of
review under federal En-

vironmental Assessment and

Review Process (EARP)
guidelines.
Moss’ alliance of northern

B.C. environmental and native
groups won a federal court deci-
sion May 16 that overturned Ot-
tawa’s decision to exempt the
$1-billion’ hydroelectric project
from undergoing a full EARP
review, .The ruling also threw
out a 1987 deal between the
federal government and Alcan
on how much water the com-
pany could divert from the
Nechako River watershed to its
generators at Kemano.
“They've been doing internal
reviews for 10 years on this pro-
ject,”’ Moss said, ““To mothball
it in more internal review seems
like a lot more foot-dragging

that in my mind is in contraven- -

tion of the court order.’’
She said there are two tests to

£o wit ts

determine whether a project
should go to the full indepen-
dent review panel — if it has the
potential for significant en-
vironmental damage and if

there is substantial public con- ,

cern.

“'Clearly this is a project that
qualifies on both grounds,”’ she
said,

She also criticized DFO for
not quickly requesting a full
panel review.

“The judgment has already:
been out two months, They
should know by now. It’s not as
if this project’s entirely new to
them.”
