Williams Lake, B.C. – Environment Minister Mary Polak provided an update on sediment sampling related to the Mt. Polley breach in Williams Lake today.
She says the results show the sediment poses no human health risk but copper and iron levels may pose adverse affects on aquatic life.
More to come.

Of course it does!
I don’t believe this for a dingle minute, nice try though.
But you believe their bs for the carbon tax?
I have no idea what you are inferring Seamut, as I have never voiced an opinion on carbon tax. If you want a discussion on carbon tax, you’ll have to engage someone that might be a believer.
Let’s just say I don’t believe anything this government says…..
Good news, most of the tailings remained in the pond. Get Polley Lake blockage cleaned up, close the breach, and start cleaning up the creek and outflow into Quesnel Lake. Probably a years worth of work for mine crews, Imperial Metals just has to figure out where the money is going to come from if they can’t restart the mine. Red Chris is blockaded so it won’t get completed to generate cash flow anytime soon.
Slinky..
Quoted from Aug 14th news release..
“The Company has secured additional financing in the amount of $100.0 million of additional unsecured debt which management estimates will provide sufficient liquidity to complete and commission the Red Chris mine and together with funds from operations and expected insurance proceeds, cover the costs to remediate the effects of the tailings dam breach at the Mount Polley mine..”
They were helicoptering food in to Red Chris workers the other day. Good thing is the blockade is giving them lots of construction overtime pay. Crews cant get out for days off
Winters coming, end of blockade.
The corporohaters have a new bugaboo it seems. The people blockading the mine site don’t seem to have missed a meal for awhile…
