Another creek above Salmon Valley Road took a new path over the weekend, jeopardizing properties and the road below.

About 6 p.m. Friday, Kristie Clark, who lives in the 2100 block of Salmon River Road, called the RCMP emergency line, letting them know about the threat from above.

Residents had noticed a creek starting to run through a neighbour91裸聊视频檚 shop and down the neighbour91裸聊视频檚 road. It was headed toward Salmon River Road and another neighbour91裸聊视频檚 home.

Residents got to work up the road with tractors, shovels and sandbags, diverting the water to a less destructive path.

As well as potentially taking out the house, Clark predicts 91裸聊视频渋t would have gone right across Salmon River Road had we not, as a community, fixed it.91裸聊视频�

Clark said she is shocked that she received no response from any official until 9 a.m. Saturday, when someone called to ask 91裸聊视频榟ow are things going?91裸聊视频�

The residents91裸聊视频� experience with a bursting creek is similar to that of residents in the 1600 block of Salmon River Road. People from 10 homes there were evacuated overnight on April 22. Some homes are without driveways after crews diverted what91裸聊视频檚 known as Andrew Brook or Anderson Creek by creating a ditch along the roadway to carry the water along. That was done after a decommissioned logging road sloughed and the runoff causing the slough jumped into the existing creek, so residences below were threatened.

In Clark91裸聊视频檚 case, the new creek is also heading down a ditch alongside the road, which leaves them without a driveway.

Clark operates Salmon Valley Daycare. Her spouse Andrew jokes that they91裸聊视频檒l have to call it Salmon Valley Adventure Campground and zipline the kids over the ditch.

Kristie is concerned about proposed logging above Salmon River Road and the part logging and an existing logging road may have played on the creek changing course.

So is neighbour Barb Lepain.

91裸聊视频淣ow they want to log right down behind our homes.91裸聊视频�

Both Kristie and Andrew emphasize they are not targeting loggers, but the people who make the decisions about logging.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 not the people down the street who are loggers,91裸聊视频� says Kristie.

91裸聊视频淭here are lots of places to log so people don91裸聊视频檛 have creeks running through their property,91裸聊视频� adds Andrew.

Tolko Industries, meanwhile, says it will be consulting with residents.

In an email reply to the Observer, Janice Lockyer, Tolko91裸聊视频檚 communications advisor, wrote: 91裸聊视频淲ith regards to Silver Creek and our 2017 information sharing referral, we understand that residents have concerns and we want to reiterate, once again, that we91裸聊视频檙e at the start of our planning process in this area and it will be approximately three years before we have a thorough understanding of the proposed area and whether we can implement a plan that allows us to harvest in a safe and sustainable manner. During our study phase, we remain open to consultation and we are working on a plan to meet with concerned residents of the area once we have conducted our field work. We will be releasing details on that process soon.91裸聊视频�

Regarding the 2100 block of Salmon River Road, she stated: 91裸聊视频淚t is difficult to say at this point what the role of logging may or may not have played in the increased stream flow experienced on the existing creek. We are currently assessing a number of our cutblock areas and once we have completed our assessments, we will have a better understanding of the role, if any, of logging and the measures required to deal with any issues we find.91裸聊视频�
