Inspectors Find “Acutely Lethal” Acid Mine Pollution
Chris Zimmer : May 18.2007April 1, 2004
(Juneau) New documents from Canadian federal fisheries and environment ministries demonstrate a history of failure by Redfern Resources Ltd. and British Columbia (BC) to address "acutely lethal" acid mine drainage at the Tulsequah Chief and Big Bull mine sites. These documents also provide evidence that BC has been deceitful about its plans for other industrial development in the Taku watershed. Redfern wants to reopen the Tulsequah Chief mine and construct a 100 mile access road from Atlin, BC to the mine site. The mine site is on the Tulsequah River, main tributary of the Taku, and above several critical salmon spawning and rearing areas.
