. 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.

Company switches to different carrier pending investigation

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.
