“What I’m looking for is in-

The . - comments’ by: Sparks
. fallow vearller:: statements © by. -

Orenda vice president Frank
Foster in which he said the com-
pany doesn’t want the project to

undergo .a.detailed review that «.

‘can happen under MPRP, -
Foster’ said Orenda wants. to
answer outstanding questions
during the prospectus review
‘and’ then receive approval-in-
principle pending it getting
necessary permits and licences,
- That: advanced review level
could feature public hearings

conducted. by an independent

panel..
Rkhkkhkhk

The. prospectus filing delay
also pushes. back the’ dates
Orenda: was ta hold public
meetings in Terrace and in
Kitimat to explain its project.
Those meetings, required as

part of the MPRP,:had been -

tentatively scheduled. for the
first part of August.-

Mill impact said unknown.

They're going to invest a lot ‘of
money in, for example, contain-
ment of any spills. But when I

asked them about..-baseline —

wildlife studies, they said they
didn’t have any,”' Hayes added.

He's also partially satisfied
that Orenda has put back the
start date of beginning the pro-
vincial government’s approval
process.

Last week, Hayes said it
would be inappropriate for
Orenda to ask for approval dur-
ing the summer because people
are away on vacation,

He also said he felt the ap-
proval process would proceed
too quickly for complete public
participation.

“*T still think it’s a bit unfair.
What we need is a fair forum

for the public. Grenda says.it’s
up to the government but I said
..they could do it,’? Hayes added.
