South Thompson Planning Report
No full textThe South Thompson River Basin is a major sub-regional area of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The South Thompson serves as a pathway for major salmon runs, a corridor for rail and highway transportation, a recreational resource for the Kamloops/Shuswap population, a scenic treasure, an agricultural base, a reservoir of flat land, and a clean water supply. It contains a priceless record of our archaeological and historical past. At the same time, it is obvious that this area is a delicate and vulnerable ecological and aesthetic system. Haphazard or random residential sprawl, ill considered industrial development, or inappropriate land use of any type could endanger and destroy this resource permanently. A policy statement indicating the desired directions in which the Regional District should permit development to proceed is imperative. This document, then, is a statement of policy.Not peer reviewedPlanning documentInterim Repor
