Q&A with Rio Tinto Operations Director By Aman Parhar
Vanderhoof Omineca Express got in touch with Andrew Czornohalan, operations director at Rio Tinto to talk about the current state of the Nechako Reservoir and more. What is the current state of the Nechako reservoir? As of June 7, 2019 the water level in the Nechako Reservoir is about 2793 feet, or 7 feet from full, which is 2 feet lower than normal for this time of year. In addition, the snowpack in the reservoir area is almost already melted and inflow to the reservoir has dropped. It seems that the peak of the freshet has passed. ‘Dryest year ever’ can you explain this further and provide some statistics to compare over previous years. Inflow refers to the

water going into the Nechako reservoir from melting snow and rainfall. Inflows between July 1, 2018 and June 4, 2019 has been the second lowest since 1956. Rainfall in the last two weeks has helped increase the inflows to the reservoir which has made a slight difference to the reservoir level. How is the Dam managed if water level goes below the desired level? The risk of water surplus and water shortage is constantly managed. Decisions related to flood risk or drought risk mitigation occur many months in advance of any potential event by either discharging additional water, or curtailing power generation. However, risk levels can change quickly from weather events so conditions are continually mon-

We are evaluating options and will take steps this year to mitigate even lower levels in the spring next year, before the 2020 freshet. What kind of engagement is being done with local governments? Considering Vanderhoof council’s stance on wanting a seat at the table while decisions are being made, is that being taken into consideration? Rio Tinto began the Water Engagement Initiative as a means of collaborating with
First Nations, members of the public and governments in the Nechako Region. The spirit and intent of the Water Engagement Initiative is to facilitate an understanding of the diverse interests related to water management in the Nechako Region, and collaborate with interested parties/persons in identifying opportunities for improvement in Rio Tinto operations. The process is supported by an independent facilitator, and a technical work-
ing group. All levels of government and First Nations were invited to help design the process and to participate. Rio Tinto encourages anyone interested in the Nechako River, and Rio Tinto’s operation of the reservoir, to participate in the Water Engagement Initiative process. What kind of engagement is being done with First Nations groups? All First Nations in the watershed have been contacted and encouraged to participate in the Water En-
gagement Initiative. Rio Tinto encourages anyone interested in the Nechako River, and Rio Tinto’s operation of the reservoir, to participate in the Water Engagement Initiative process. Heard at a previous council meeting that BC Hydro is going to be involved in a project. What is the nature of the project? The electricity generated at Kemano is an integral part of the BC Hydro system. BC Hydro and Rio Tinto work very closely to-

gether at all times to ensure a reliable supply of electricity in northwest BC. Currently, BC Hydro and Rio Tinto are investigating the best options for mitigating the risk of low water, to ensure there is enough electricity to BC Work’s smelter if low water levels continue. Considering its the dryest year on the record, what should Vanderhoof residents expect in terms of water levels? Rio Tinto is required to discharge water from the Nechako Reservoir for fisheries Conservation in the Nechako River. Spillway discharge will follow the normal schedule. Although it is possible that flows from tributaries may be lower than usual, residents should expect water levels to be at normal levels for this time of year and
during the fisheries season. What was the snowpack level this year in comparison to other years? The total snowpack in the Reservoir area was about 70% of the average for the winter. Up until January it was quite typical then through February & March the levels were virtually flat. The snow melt started very early in late April / early May. I had spoken to someone in regard to the Nechako river and they have seen it change over a period of time. They said they have brought up these concerns, so this engagement seems redundant. Why haven’t those changes been done before? There are a couple of different reasons if we implement one interest it may have a detrimental impact on something else and it is very difficult for our company to say how do we weigh bank erosion with flood protection and salmon stocks. So that is something as a company that has been very difficult. The other thing is our flow regime is part of a regulatory process. So we have had to get the province on board so that we all move together. I feel all of us - regional, provincial, federal and local, all of us can move together towards a decision. If there is just one group trying to push it, you either get stuck in bureaucracy or stuck in opposition.

Vaping among Canadian teens spikes by 74 per cent in one year, study suggests By The Canadian Press
New research suggests vaping among Canadian teens skyrocketed by 74 per cent in a single year, and that new brands of e-cigarettes are gaining a foothold following federal legislation. University of Waterloo professor David Hammond, who led the study of youth vaping in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K., said the findings reflect the risks of the “newest evolution of vaping.” The researchers say an online survey found the number of Canadian participants aged 16 to 19 who reported vaping in the previous month rose from 8.4 per cent in 2017 to 14.6 per cent last year. Rates of weekly use
climbed to 9.3 per cent from 5.2 per cent over the same time period. In May 2018, Ottawa formally legalized vaping, opening the door for international vaping brands — some backed by big tobacco companies — to enter the Canadian market. Weeks after becoming available in Canada, some of these vaping brands ranked among the most popular with teens, along with similar high-nicotine products, said Hammond. In the U.S., researchers found parallels between the rise of these brands and a surge in youth vaping, he said. The study also indicated that conventional cigarette use among participants increased from 10.7 per cent in 2017 to 15.5 per cent
the following year, deviating from decades of research suggesting youth smoking in Canada was on the decline, Hammond said. Hammond said he hopes the results are just a “blip,” but said it would be worrisome if other studies came to the same conclusion. The research paper published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal is based on two waves of online surveys conducted in
Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. in July and August 2017 and August and September 2018. Data was collected from a sample of 7,891 Canadians recruited through commercial panels. The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not
B.C. imposes interim moratorium on resource development to protect caribou By The Canadian Press
The British Columbia government plans to sign a caribou protection strategy while it imposes an interim moratorium on new resource development in areas where the animals are struggling for survival. Premier John Horgan says a report on caribou recovery recommends the pause to allow for consultation with communities, industries and First Nations. The report released today by Blair Lekstrom, a former Liberal member of the legislature, makes 14 recommendations. The caribou population in northeastern B.C. has dwindled over the last two decades.
randomly sample the population. E-cigarettes can be an effective tool for adult smokers trying to quit, but Hammond said policy-makers need to be proactive in preventing young Canadians from picking up the habit. “What the government and public-health authorities need to do is find some balance to allow adult smokers to have access to these products, without creating a new generation of nicotine users,” Hammond said. “We haven’t got that balance right yet.” Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst at the Canadian Cancer Society, said
the government must take immediate action to level the scales. “Clearly, the current situation is not working,” said Cunningham. “Therefore, we need to move quickly.” Cunningham said Ottawa needs to tighten up advertising rules for vaping products to make them at least as restrictive as those for cannabis. Federal legislation allows for some advertising of vaping products, but promotions targeted at youth are prohibited. In January, Health Canada proposed new measures to bar these advertisements from venues where young people are likely to
The government says stopping what it describes as “new high-impact forestry and mining activities” is necessary while a management plan is developed.
Forests Minister Doug Donaldson says the government is protecting caribou herds and limiting the potential economic impact. In April, Horgan
said the issue of temporary protection for the caribou had inflamed passions over a lack of understanding about saving the animals. The Canadian Press
two outliers, Alberta and Saskatchewan, must follow suit. He also called on provincial governments to follow many U.S. states in raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco and e-cigarettes to 21. As it stands, anyone 18 and over can purchase vaping or tobacco products in Canada. “We have made such incredible progress to reduce youth smoking, and now we have a situation whereby a new generation of teenagers are becoming addicted to vaping products,” he said. “We cannot stand still and allow that to happen.” Adina Bresge, The Canadian Press

A spokesperson for Health Canada could not immediately be reached for comment. Cunningham also urged federal lawmakers to strengthen regulations on the use of flavoured vaping products, and said provinces should ban their sale except in adult-only specialty stores.
