Ed Steeves, Chair, SCRD and Local Board of Health,

Good Morning! I am writing today to express my appreciation for the work of

the SCRD board as a "local board of health" in regard to complaints that

WFP's activities in the Chapman Watershed constitute a health hazard. I am

completely satisfied that these complaints have been addressed in a diligent

and intelligent manner and that the resulting Order is effective, far

reaching, president-setting and defendable in every way.

This is a major event in the community's long struggle over drinking water;

I'm sure that communities all over the province will also find your Order to

be compelling.

I believe that the SCRD, it's chair and each member of the Board richly

deserves the recognition of the public for a job well done.

While the issue of management authority in drinking water source area is yet

to be resolved, I look forward with renewed optimism and confidence that the

will of the public for the watersheds is being reflected in the policy and

decisions of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

Thank you,

Daniel Bouman

Hi Dan: On behalf of the entire board and staff, thank you for the kind

words. Yes, we must now look at the long term where we play a major part in

the decision making process in the protection of our water supply. Thanks

Ed Steeves.
