[LookOutSugarLake] Kokanee Lodge Discharge Conditions

[Reiner, Mike J ENV:EX]

Your organization and other concerned agencies were directly cc'd on the
letter acknowledging Kokanee Lodge's Registration.  Your hard copy
should arrive shortly.  
 
I have attached an electronic version to fulfil your request regarding
the additional conditions in the interim.
 
With respect to meeting with you,  We received and reveiwed your written
submissions and telephone calls as well as those other concerns that
were submitted to us prior to making our decisions on additional
conditions.  I also voluntarily attended a related meeting that you
organised.   
 
Further, reiterating our numerous telephone conversations, the Municipal
Sewage Regulation automatically registers submissions that are in
compliance with it effective the date we receive the registration.
There is no discretion to refuse or in your words "not permit this
discharge" nor does the Regulation formally require consultation and
notification.

	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
