Howe Sound pulp mill firms face multiple suits

From page 1
to monitor and regulate and pre-
vent the emission of effluent that is
harmful to fish;
© failed to prevent unlawful en-
vironmental degradation to the
fishery;
© repeatedly failed to observe
provincial pollution standards;
® and repe>tedly failed to observe
federal poiiution standards and
thereby contributed to the toxicity

of fisheries and their resultant
closure.

The suit states that the recent
fisheries closures are indefinite and
will likely be permanent.

Named as plaintiffs in the suit
are North Vancouver commercial
fisherman Bruce Adams, Bowen
Island commercial fisherman
David Macintosh, Sechelt com-
mercial fisherman Andre Alarie
and Squamish commercial fish-

erman and fish retailer Charles
MacMillan.

All four regularly fished prawns,
shrimp and crab from Howe
Sound prior to the fishery closures.

Their suit is the second this year
to be launched against the mill op-
erators by fishermen seeking com-
pensation through the courts for
loss of livelihood.

On Aug. 9, crab fisherman
Danny Garland Gagnier of Gib-

sons and the Hope Point Fishing
Co. filed a B.C. Supreme Court
suit against the mills’ owners alleg-
ing the excessive pollution in Howe
Sound resulted from their
negligence.

And in early November, lawyers
for West Vancouver’s Terry Jacks,
the founder of Environmental
Watch, will appear in court to set a
trial date in Jacks’ B.C. Supreme
Court civil action against the pro-

vincial government over its deci-
sion to approve a revised air pollu-
tion permit for the Port Mellon
pulp mill.

Jacks said all three suits were
initiated by Environmental Watch
after lobbying four different pro-
vincial environment ministers over
the past four years and still being
“unsuccessful in getting existing
pollution laws enforced.”’
