licences, no inspection certificates and bald tires.

Four vehicles were pulled from the road after being deemed

unsafe.

. Heavy rains ease
water Crisis

THE HEAVY rains that fell Wednesday and Thursday in the
Lower Mainland have dramatically raised the record low water
levels at the North Shore’s Capilano and Seymour reservoirs.

Both Capilano and Seymour !akes have risen close to nine feet
since Tuesday, according to a Greater Vancouver Regional

District spokesman.

“It indicates enough recovery that we are confident we don't
have to worry about it (the water supply) the rest of the fall,’’
said Tom Heath, the GVRD’s administrator of water planning

and operations.

On Friday the Seymour and Capilano reservoir levels were 20

and 25 feet from full, respectively.

On Tuesday, the two reservoirs hit record low wates levels, with
the Seymour 34 feet Yelow full and the Capilano 38 feet below

full levels.

According to the gauging station in the Seymour watershed,
from noon Wednesday to noon Thursday, Seymour received ap-
proximately five inches of precipitation while the Capilano
received just under half that amount.

Port Melion effluent
leak contained

ENVIRONMENT CANADA officials are investigating a gasket
failure in an effluent line thet occurred Tuesday afternoon at
Howe Sound Pulp and Paper’s Port Mellon mill.

A mill spokesman said the gas leak was contained by o new
environmental protection system recently installed by the mill.

Following the leak, mili officials shut the mill down to prevent
a system overflow that could have resulted in a spill. Company
officials do not expect any environmental damage to result from

the gasket failure.

Tuesday’s leak is the second to occur at the mili in less that two

weeks.

On Sept. 19, about 500,000 litres of partially iceated effluent
was released into Howe Sound after the mill’s $105- million en-
vironmental protection system failed.

ff the system was working properly, the effluent would have
been discharged further out into Howe Sound.

But Save Howe Sound Society president Rozlynn Mitchell said
the mill should not be pumping any effluent into Howe Sound.

Said Rowlands, ‘‘As long as it’s
kept wet, everything is fine. (But)
if it gets on your clothing, for ex-
ample, once it dries it can burst
into flames.”

Meanwhile when BC Rail ini-
tially received the accident report
at about 6 p.m. Thursday, the
company was told a tank truck
loaded with cement had left the
highway, taken down some power
poles and come to a rest on the
track.

But said BC Rail spokesman
Barrie Wall, ‘“‘We subsequently
got a call from the West Van-
couver Fire Department who said
it was, in fact, loaded with sodi-
um chlorate. So based on that,
our emergency response people

went out there. We _ originally
thought that we would have to
cancel the southbound passenger
train service from Squamish and
bus people in.

“That turned out to be unnec-
cessary and the passenger train
was only delayed 25 minutes. We
learned at 7 p.m. (Thursday) that
the tanker was not on the track
and that it was not leaking. Half
an hour later we were told it was
OK to operate the trains,’’ he
said.

A Canadian Occidental
spokesman said the company has
stopped using the Portland truck-
ing firm and the type of truck in-
volved in the accident pending an
investigation into Thursday's ac-
cident.
