Thornhill residents want dump moved 7

oA. group. of: Thornhill
residents, angered by a
continuing rat prob lem,
want the Regional District
_ of .. Kitimat-Stikine, to
relocate the Thornhill

garbage dump,
Jeff Marvin, of Millar
Réad south of Krumm Road,

said he recently shot a four

und rat, 10 inches in
length and the rat took four
22 gun shells in its neck
before {t died.

Marvin says something
has to be done to remove the
dump. to. a’ new location
Decale more and more
people are : atin e
Old Lakelse fake Road area
south of Krumm Road.

The rat shot by Marvin
had eaten several pounds of
cat..food stored in the
basement and when the pest
was locked out of the up-
stairs of Marvin's home it
screamed. “I don’t know if

you've ever heard a rat
scream all night but it’s nat
a pleasant sound."”

veral residents living in -

the area say they are angry
enough at the Regional
District to mail every dead
rat they catch to a director,
until something is done‘
about the problem.

Clarence Dunphy, ', a
neighbour of Marvin, says
he averages one trapped rat
a day in basement.
“That's 365 rats a year,” he
adds. His dog averages
three to four rats a day
outside the house.

Dunphy said he has had
the problem for about 1%
years and he has only lived
in the area for two years.

Last year other residents
in the same Thornhill area
complained about ‘similar
problems. One person was
reported to have been woken
in the middle of the night.

bage dump is not the source
of the contamination.
Several water samples were
taken above and below the

dump by the health unit to
test the contamination level
