Charbonneau.
Because the spill is in
violation o( the waste management
act, a legal investigation
is on-going. Charbonneau expects
to complete the investigation

Depending on the outcome
of the investigation, the CRD
could face a warning from the
Ministry of Environment, a
voluntary penalty of $2tK). or a
fine oi up to $1 million Factors
.such as the volume of spillage
from the station, and
whetlvT it was an accident or
the resulfof carelessness will
be considered in the investigation.
Residents in the area who
pump water from the lake for
di)mestic purposes have been
advised b\ (he Cariboo Health

As f(w the veteran Quesnel

health care, there is little optimism
that Victoria will .solve

OhQPrx/Pr AQIC^ YOU* So....ctoes Quesnel
UDServer MbKb TUU. 'nec^'^ Hwy. 97 Bypass?
GAIL EVANS
Yes I do. Just trying to
come through town you get
backed up at the lights and
badted up al the next set of
lights Too mtKh congestion.
If people arc not interested
in shopping OT eating, they're
not .going to come through
town anylKW. They'll just ukc
the bypass.
C;LEN (;RUNAU
Yes . I think it would
be 5>afcr and less nt»isy if most
of the heavy truck. irafTic were
able to bypass the city centre
instead of going down Front
Street.
LAURIE SP(K)NER
Definitely yes. Our streets
arc too congested now as it is.
We need a bypass bijj time 1^
think. There's just too much
congestion.
If people are going to shop
downtown, they*rc going to
stop downtown regardless.
ANDY MAILLOT
No. 1 think they need to
upgrade the highway through
there a little bit because traffic
gets clogged all the time. But
with a bypass they would lose
all business probably. _
