PINE CORPORATION

iS requesting zoning

amendments that would allow it to bring a 250
employee scientific research Operation to Lonsdale
Quay in North Vancouver City.

The research would mainly
concern the field of conifer
waste and seek to find useful
ways of using the wood and
leaves or ‘‘slash’’ left by log-
ging operations for useful
purposes.

Research along these lines
has been done at UBC, but
Pine Corp. wants to go fur-
ther, particularly with the
idea of using slash waste to
create medicines and dif-
ferent forms of alcohol.

‘The research is not com-
plicated and no caustic
chemicals are involved,’’
claimed Jack Merner, who
appeared on behalf of Pine
Corp., before council on
Monday.

Merrier likened the process
to the use of a blender on the
slash, leaving liquids and
biomass behind.

“It’s a brand new opera-
tuon and it will be a big
challenge to find all of the
people we need: lab techni-
cians, computer program-
mers, librarians, etc., But
time is of the essence,’’ Mer-
ner siad.

Pine Corp. must spend $36
million on research in its first
year and that is why it seeks
speedy support from council.

And although members of
council were enthusiastic
about the project and
unanimously approved it in
principle, Mayor Jack
Loucks explained the City’s

concerns that explosive
substances or procedures
might take place at the

Lonsdale Quay site and that
the building there would be
of sufficiently sound a
structure.

Frank Morris of Property
and Licensing agreed, adding
that city staff would require
more details and answers to
questions.

Pine Corp. plans to go
beyond research and begin
developing machinery and
manufacturing the new slash
by-products. But this would
not take place at the
Lonsdale Quay site. In fact,
most of the procedures would

occur in the forest after
logging.
Other projects that Pine

Corp. might be involved in
include the development of a
smokeless log-fuel for
another country and _ elec-
trolitic mining (extraction of

minerals from sea water).

Ald. Ralph Hall made the
motion for approval in prin-
ciple, backed up by Ald.
John Braithwaite.

‘‘We certainly welcome
this new industry ... it’s a
new type of industry to B.C.,
and that’s what we’re looking
for,’? added Ald. Frank

Marcino.
