‘burner emissions —

TERRACE — The economic
recession of the early eighties
has basically ended for most in-
dustry in the Northwest, but the
Bell Pole Company is still trying
to cope with an unforeseen pro-
blem. Because of the recession,

Bell Pole found it necessary to ~

shut down their Terrace sawmill
operations in 1981 and have
been having difficulty with emis-
sions from their beehive burner
ever since.

Salmon

tagging
to begin

A chinook tagging system will
become a reality in B.C. on
April 10 and will affect the com-
mercial, native and sports
fishery.

According to Jim Culp, the

_ Federal Recreational Fishery
Advisor for the North Coast
Division, the new tagging system
will be outlined in the 1988
Synopsis.

Culp applauded the new
system, because it will provide a
better data base for research and
management, simplify the en-
forecement of caich limits, and
bring in some extra money for
salmonid enhancement.

He said none of the catch
limits are being changed, but
sports fishermen now have to
purchase chinook tags for one
dollar, with a maximum of 10
tags per season in fresh water
and 30 tags per season for
chinooks over 50 centimetres in
length in salt water.

Culp added the commercial
industry will also pay a dollar
per tag by tallying their catch at
the end of the season. While the
native fishery will be required to
use the (ags, there is no charge to
native fishermen.

‘That burner was designed to
burn quite efficiently with a
combination of bark and wood
fibre,” explained Yard Foreman
Ian Jones, ‘‘but with the
economic shutdown and the
nature of our business we chose
to just operate the peeler.”’

Jones said that the smoke pro-
blem is at its worst in fall and
winter months because of the
high water and ice content of the
bark and cool air temperatures
which makes the by-product ‘of
their pole operation more dif-
ficult to burn.

He said mill management is
working in cooperation with the
Waste Management Branch to
get burner emissions below their
permit maximum and have hired
consultants to help find a solu-
tion. Some of the things they
will be looking at include
upgrading the forced air system,
cementing the burner floor and
upgrading the exterior burner
shell to make it more airtight.

‘‘We’re working in conjunc-
tion with Waste Management on
this program and we’re going to
be spending money on the
burner. Our intention is to com-

ply with the permit. We recog-.

nize that we are a part of the
community and we want to keep
everybody happy,’’ said Jones.

Waste Management spokes-
man Hoa Le said Bell’s burner
emissions have exceeded the per-
mit maximum for some time and
Waste Management is now pro-
posing to amend the permit to
give Bell Pole a period of ‘‘tem-
porary relief’’ while they correct
the problem.

“We have a three-phase pro-

gram,”’ said Le. ‘Basically, we
have allowed them until the end
of July to get all their problems
worked out. And if not, they
will have to go for something
better in order to get the burner
to burn virtually smoke-free.”
Le said the current level of
emissions are quite a bit over the
allowed limit but he noted there
have been no public complaints,
and he suggested it is in

everyone’s’ best interest to give -J

Bell Pole time to correct the.pro-
blem.

‘“‘When the mill was originally
built they had a sawmill as well
and that added more waste to
the burner,”’ explained Le, “It
burned well, but since 1981, due
to economic reasons, they shut
down the mill, Now they only
have the pole peeler and there
isn’t enough waste to burn and
therefore it’s smokey.’’

Movement of river may give

city title to Fisherman’s Park ~

In the latest chapter of at-
tempts to save Fisherman’s Park
after its landlord, CNR, more.
than tripled the lease, the city
may have found a loophole that
would leave CNR high and dry.

~The Kitsumkalum Indian
Band has long claimed that the
southern portion of the Kalum

River, where it flows into the.

Skeena, has swung westward
over the last 50 years or so and
taken away a part of their land.
Of course, while this was hap-
pening, the city gained land. Or
did it?

Council has asked city ad-
ministration to check with the
B.C. Assessment Authority to
determine the size and actual
boundaries of that portion of
land in relation to the high water
line that existed when the city
boundaries were surveyed. if the
river has actually moved, it
could mean that a large portion
of Fisherman’s Park is outside
the city limits and would
therefore be Crown: land.

Because the CNR lease is bas-
ed on square footage, the city
would only have to pay for the

TERRACE DINING
CUIDE

portion of land CNR actually
owns, significantly reducing the
amount of the lease. CNR would
then be left, with the good
wishes of local residents, to try
and collect the balance of the
rent from the provincial govern
ment. :

It may be a long shot, but it
brought a collective smile to
council’s face as they voted to
send letters of thanks to the B.C.
Wildlife Federation and the Kit-
sumkalum Salmonid Enhance-
ment Society for their support.
