[LookOutSugarLake] Kokanee Lodge Discharge Conditions

[Huguette - Imagine-ere]

Mr. Reiner,

We have heard that Kokanee Lodge has now been given the conditions  
under which they are permitted to discharge effluents to water.

As you remember, SLAMSS (Sugar Lake And Middle Shuswap Stewards) have  
repeatedly asked you to inform us should this happen, and to please  
let us know of the conditions that would be imposed on the discharge  
to water. As you know, this request is not a matter of simple  
curiosity but one of necessity: many of us drink that water, swim in  
it, and live by it.

We also know that you and other members of the Ministry of  
Environment have met with some First Nations Groups to discuss this  
matter. It seems inconceivable to us that our petition of more than  
700 names that was sent to your ministry detailing all the reasons  
why we so strongly urged your department to not permit this  
discharge, would not be the subject of at least the same courtesy.

Our question to you is whether this email request is sufficient for  
you to advise us of the conditions under which Kokanee lodge is  
permitted by your ministry to discharge effluents to water, and if  
not, then what is needed for you to do so?

Huguette Beaudin-Allen
Spokesperson for SLAMSS
