“TERRACE — Construction of
a Kitimat port could mean in-
‘creased: industry and pollution
coming: up the valley, says one
local: regional district director
opposed to the. plan.

_ Sandy Sandhals was one of
three ‘Kitimat-Stikine regional
district ‘directors. who voted
against-a resolution supporting

_ the prospect ‘of a port at the.

"board's. ‘meeting Saturday. The

resolution passed by an 83—

vote. .

want to ‘see’ that kind of
development’ in the valley,
because of the environmental
problems that arise from these
things. I don’t like the thought
of the corridor between Terrace
_and,Kitimat becoming an in-
“dustrial ‘corridor. ”

“ Details of the port develop-
ment — estimated to cost more
_-than $60 million — were releas-

vironmental Teview.

" Lakelse Lake residents notice

the pollution rolling up the.
valley from the existing heavy
‘industry in Kitimat, Sandhals
added. :

**You can smell it at the lake
already,'’ he said. “To add
more industry in Kitimat -~
whether it’s a copper-smelter or

whatever _ would He totally
wrong.”

A tew port in Kitimat would
only shuffle business away from
the existing. port im Prince
Rupert, he added.

‘Prince Rupert has the port
facilities right now,’’ Sandhals
said. “They could expand if
necessary. So why build a new
port in Kitimat to take away the
business from the Prince Rupert
port? i think it’s a waste of
money, I don't care whose
Money it is, as far as I’m con-
cerned it's a waste,”

Thornhill director Les Wat-
mough demanded to know -why
a port authority is necessary to
run the port, suggesting it could
be run by the district of Kitimat
once built.

Watmough and Hazelton
mayor Alice Maitland were the
other: two directors to vote
against the motion supporting
the port plan.
