note: Power line plans MURRAYVULE - B.C. Hydro is considering a high-voltage transmission line through Langley and Aldergrove to the U.S. border, says township mayor John Beales. So far, there are no definite plans as to the route to be chosen, says Beales. Hydro plans to hook up to the U.S. grid system in Whatcom county near Lynden so they can sell excess power to the U.S. market, Beales says. The line would come from the Burrard terminal and maybe cross into Surrey or Langley south of the loco site. Beales says there is no information yet on the capacity of the line.

Hydro calls meets ALDERGROVE - BC Hydro will hold a public meeting, Oct. 24, 7 p.m. at the Kinsmen Community Centre to discuss possible "route alignment" of a proposed transmission line intertie with Puget Sound Power & Light Co. of Washington. Hydro is also considering construction of a new substation to reinforce power supply to the Fraser Valley. A route for the two 230 kilvolt circuits, along with associated substation facilities from the Aldergrove-Abbotsford area to the border has not yet been selected. Mary Alger, external relations co-ordinator for Hydro, told Trie Star that the utility has been criticized in the past for finalizing its plans prior to public consultation, and this is the reason why the route alignment appears "nebulous" at this time. The first meeting will allow Hydro to hear concerns from landowners near the possible routes. The Oct. 24 meeting will be repeated the following day, same time, at Matsqui Community Arts Division on Crescent Way. This will be followed by a second .pair of meetings to discuss "value judgments and tradeoffs," said Alger. They will be held Nov. 8 at the Kinsmen Community Centre and Nov. 9 at Matsqui Community Hall. Alger said these meetings will determine the need for, and dates of the third pair of meetings which would then outline "the route to f…
