The provincial government has given the green light to carrying out bank stabilization work in an effort to save a resort and campground on a bank of the Salmon River.
Work can begin immediately, Fraser-Fort George Regional District spokeswoman Renee McCloskey said in a press release issued at 11 a.m.
The work will consist of about 40 metres of riprap along the bank at a cost of no more than $30,000.
Rockin's River Resort co-owner Robin Stoy was on tenterhooks earlier this morning prior to the announcement.
"They're humming and hawwing," said frustrated co-owner Robin Stoy. "I mean, I reported this on Tuesday and everybody was out here and it's Friday and nobody's out here yet."
The house on the resort is in growing jeopardy.
"We're just about to lose a great big chunk behind the house," said Stoy. "It's at about 48 feet [from the river] this morning."
