Cypress sewer
plan proposed

Catherine Barr
Contributing Writer

B.C. Parks (BCP) has
put forth some new
options for connecting
Cypress Bow! into West
Vancouver's sewer sys-

tem.

A report: from municipal
planner Raymond Nothstein
recommends agreement. in
principal with BCP for a new
sewer connection which will
supply Cypress Bow!
Recreations (CBR) with addi-
tional services, The expansion
is a component of CBR's
original master plan, The plan
called for numerous. faci ity
upyrades and expansion of the
ski hill and it wiated oper-
ations. Water and sewer con-
nections to West Vancouver
were also requested.

From the beginning, the
entire project has been con-
troversial among the commu-

¢ environmental groups.
are concerned about the
possible damage to creeks and
trees and other biological and

ult from blasting and con-
struction.

Construction of a sewer
connection, which is being
proposed by the province and
not CBR specifically, is all part
of the latest installment. BCP
has a contractual obligation to
supply CBR with sewer and
water services,

Concerns taken to Senate

From page 1

the Lower Mainland Treaty
Advisory Committec, tabled
several amendments needed to

preserve the interests of

municipal governments.

Bill C-49 has no require-
ment for a First Nation to con-
sult with neighbouring local or
regional governments on land
issues.

“Consultation with affect-
ed parties is a critical and fun-
damental principle of focal
governments,” Bell said.
“Land-use — decisio’ on
reserve lands can have signifi-
cant impacts on neighbou
local governments, particularly
in urban settings such as

NVD Mayor
cooperation :\eeded.

Rell. said consulta-

tion must be nvo-way.

“The land-use decisions of
a municipaliry can have
impacts on reserve lands as
much as fand-use decisions on
reserve lands can have impacts
ona municipality.”

Squamish Nations Chief
Bill Williams did not return
News calls to deadline.

North Vancouver Liberal
Senator Ray Perrault met with
Blair privately in Ottawa. He
said Blair has valid concerns.
Said Perrault, “The important
thing here is if you can build
some bridges of understand-
ing and as s that can be
given on both sides, the mea-
sure ing to operate in the
public interest.”

SEYMOUR

GOLF 4 COUNTHY CLUA”

In 1997) West Vancouver
council wanted BCP and
CBR s assurances hat it
would take inte carehel con:
sideradion the concerns of the
community. As a result,
issued a dengthy three-pay
motion outining in detail the

ons thar must be satis-

or to approval of any

} water and sewer
connections.

Since that time, BCP and
CBR have conmnissioned sev-
eral. reports including a
hydrology study, a master
drainage plan and an on-site
waste water trearment study.

BCP's latest s-wer applica-
tian proposes a route based

ona 10-foor (3m) right of

way that will be constructed
th “minimized environ-
mental inpact.

“Clear cutting will not be
required,” reads the report.

The report gacs on to say
that on-site sewage treatment
is “feasible” if council dues
not want to approve a munic-
ipal connection, The option
would involve discharging
surplus treated effluent into

Cypress Creek.

BCP has submitted a paral-
lel application to the Ministry
of the Environment and
Department of Oceans and
Fisheries for the on-site
sewage treatment system
should the municipal option
be defeated or delayed.

The issue coracs before
council tomorrow.
