Charges laid after Mount Polley dam collapse decades on
Fifteen federal Fisheries Act charges were laid against Imperial Metals Corp and two affiliates after the 2014 Mount Polley Mine dam failure sent about 25 million cubic metres of waste into Polley Lake Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake. The indictment accuses the firms of releasing deleterious substances harming fish habitats, with court appearance set for December 18. Residents near Likly BC, including Doug Watt, welcome accountability but seek clarity on outcomes and ongoing contamination concerns.
