Letter 29: Enough is Enough!
May 16, 2007
Sarah Barkowski,
Manager, Environment Systems,
Catalyst Paper, Powell River Div.
6270 Yew Street,
Powell River, BC,
V8A 4K1
Dear Dr. Barkowski,
I am writing to voice my strenuous opposition to the proposed Catalyst landfill expansion in Powell River.
This landfill was supposed to have been capped long ago when the community was made aware of contamination of groundwater at the site when the company was owned by MacMillan Bloedel. To come back after poisoning the community once, and propose to add further weight on the cap that was supposed to stem the flow of contaminants into the groundwater and into Wildwood drinking water is a grave, possibly criminal error.

RE: technical report- more inadequacies
Dear Dr. Barkowski,
CBC Radio Interviews and Application Date
[From a contact]
On The Island on CBC radio one, has aired phone in comments from Powell River, yesterday and today (May 17) and Paul Vasey said "over to you" to concerned citizens today in response to Catalyst's response to people's concerns. Paul Vasey, http://www.cbc.ca/ontheisland & CBC read their emails and listen to phone-in comments from people 1-866-306-4636. victoria@cbc.ca
Would it be advisable to post this somewhere?
When are the letters to Catalyst and gov't due - when is the deadline?

Re: Wildwood Landfill Expansion, Powell River, BC
Dear Dr. Barkowski,
The Sierra Club of Canada, Malaspina Group, has a number of concerns about Catalyst’s proposal to expand the landfill site at Wildwood, Powell River. We do not feel that the Environmental Assessment Report by Golder and Associates adequately addresses the potential for contaminants to enter the local atmosphere and ground water.

Dear Dr. Barkowski:
I wrote you on March 18, 2007 expressing my concerns about the application to amend (expand) the permit for fly ash waste disposal in Wildwood.
You responded by agreeing that you thought that the health of our residents was important and that you wanted to manage the site responsibly.
