DANGEROUS GOODS

By JOANNE MacDONALD

THE CONTROVER-
SIAL bylaw amendment
which will limit the

manufacture of .

dangerous goods in the
District of North Van-
couver was narrowly
passed by a 4-3 vote at
Monday’s District coun-
cil meeting.

Ald. Stephen McMinn,
Jim Ball and Craig Clark op-
posed the bylaw.

Although voting in favor
of the bylaw, Ald. Joan
Gadsby called the document
a ‘compromise bylaw’’ bas-
ed on the best legal advice
available to council. She said
there is “‘genuine concern’”’
throughout the municipality

in connection with the bylaw,

and added it will not restrict
Hooker Chemical’s. right to
either increase production, or

upgrade or modernize their .

plant equipment as it pértains
to safety measures.

**But if Hooker Chemicals
wants to expand any on-site
structure, they must apply to
council before they do so,”’
said Gadsby. ‘*tHowever,
they will have the option to
go to the Board of Variance
if council turns them down.”’

Ald. McMinn states he
believed the bylaw did not
make the District a safer
place to live and said only the
continued improvement of
safety equipment in the plant
in conjunction with the rest
of the industry would im-
prove safety in the overall
District. .

Ald. Clark opposed the
bylaw on the grounds it did
not address the trans-
portation and storage of
chlorine gas, while Ald. Ball
stated he could not vote in
favor of a bylaw’ which
restricted a company that had
been a ‘‘good corporate
citizen’’ for close to 30 years.

Mayor Marilyn Baker sum-
med up the feelings of those
voting in favor, saying the
bylaw was ‘‘the best that
could be drawn up at this
time,"’ adding the discussion
on the issue had been conti-
nuing since the fate 1970s.
She said the bylaw reflects an
adopted report which con-
tained recommendations cn-
dorsed by council, and
pointed oul the question of
storage of gases had been ad-
dressed in previous bylaws.

‘*Transportation of these
substances has
deak with as it affects the
District, but we’re now deal-
ing with a bylaw that affects
the manufacture of hazar-
dous substances. | totally re-
yect the suggestion that this
bylaw would make the com.
munity unsafe, as the tn
dustry is continually mecting
safety standards. Council has
called for the highest safety

also. been .

standards,’’ said Ba-
ker.‘‘And this bylaw in no
way puts any restrictions on
Hooker Chemical’s regular
business.”
