Watershed logging vote delayed

INTERNATIONAL Woodworkers Association

(IWA) has been given a chance to make its case to the

Greater Vancouver Regional

District board before the

board considers a recommendation to halt logging in North

Shore watersheds.

IWA-Canada president Jack
Munro told the board Wedriesday
that a watershed logging
moratorium would result ia the
loss of more than 100 union jobs
in the forestry industry.

The board was to consider a
recommendation from the GVRD
water committee to let the $2.5-
million contract of C & R Logging
expire at the end of 1992.

The recommendation calls for
logging in 1992 to be restricted to
diseased or insect-affected trees or
for fire prevention and erosion
control.

But the board decided to defer
its vote to the end of January so
that the [WA can have input.

According to environmental
groups, led by the Western
Canada Wilderness Committee,
togging and roadbuilding in North
Shore watershed areas results in
drinking water turbidity.

Ax one point in November 1990,
the turbidity level in the Seymour
reservoir was 40 times higher than
the levels recommended by na-
tional drinking water standards,

The GVRD water committee
has increasingly shifted away from
supporting the current watershed
fogging practices.

The three North Shore mayors,
all members of the water commit-
tee, have said that water quality
should be the top priority of the
GVRD.

However, a report that reviewed
35 landslides in the Seymour,
Capilano and Coquitlam water-
sheds over the past year dismissed
a direct link between clearcut log-
ging and fandstides.

At Wednesday’s meeting,
meanwhile, the board passed sev-
eral recommendations:
