Fire prohibition Reminder: Anyone lighting Category 2 or 3 fires in most of the kamloops Fire Zone must extinguish any such fires by noon on May 15. this prohibition will remain in ef- fect until Oct. 15, or further notice. Prohibited activities include: the burning of any waste, slash or other ma- terials (piled or unpiled) at a size larger than one-half metre by one-half metre; the burning of more than 2 open fires of any size at the same time; stubble or grass fires of any size over any area; the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. Since April 1, kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to 49 wildfire in- cidents. Many of these wildfires resulted from poorly planned open burning. 2013 K-M oil spill actually 4 times the reported amount Exerpt from Vancouver Observer, May 12 “there's been more oil spilled than [kinder Morgan] is saying,” pipeline critic David ellis said last November. A March 2014 document reveals there was, in fact, quadruple the amount that the company initially reported to have spilled at Coquihalla Canyon. After persistently prodding the Na- tional energy Board, pipeline critic David ellis finally got a report on kinder Morgan's two oil spills along the trans Mountain pipeline route. the spills hap- pened last June, and had temporarily shut the pipeline down for investigation. what he saw on page two of kinder Morgan's engineering Assessment floored him. it stated that instead of just 20-25 barrels spilled near the Coquihalla Canyon, the pipeline leaked well over quadruple that amount. ellis had wondered why kinder Morgan was removing some 5,005 cubic metres (over 600 truckloads) of oil-contaminated soil from the area. it seemed excessive, which led him to comment at the time: “there's been more oil spilled than [kinder Morgan] is saying.” His suspicions were confirmed by the report, which said a subsequent analysis “resulted in a revised estimated release vol- ume of approximately 18 m3” — or about 113 barrels of oil spilled in the park area. At the time that he started voicing his concerns about it, kinder Morgan at- tacked his credentials and maintained that the large volume of soil was being removed only to “meet strict clean up cri- teria because of its location within a provincial park." But the latest report suggests it was because the spill was big- ger than people originally thought. Both kinder Morgan and the NeB said that the company took all the appropriate steps to contain the spill once it started. "the initial estimate of volume was exactly that, an estimate," said kinder Morgan spokesperson Andy Galarnyk. "As remediation work continued we up- dated the volume estimate based on lev- els of contamination discovered." He said there was "no further leakage after the initial discovery" and that the leak was "repaired permanently, immedi- ately". — Jenny Uechi, Vancouver Observer www.vancouverobserver.com Happy birthday To a wonderful mom Audrie McDougall, beautiful inside and out, and still has all her marbles!!
