Pollution found in U.S. river downstream of Canadian mines

Elevated levels of selenium were found in fish and fish eggs from the Kootenai River downstream of Lake Koocanusa.

Kent Karemaker, a spokesman for British Columbia's mining agency, said he had not seen the pollution study and could not immediately offer a response. Regulators from the province participate in a cross-border monitoring group with their counterparts from Montana.U.S. senators from Alaska, Montana, Idaho and Washington state said in a June letter to British Columbia's leader that Canadian regulators need to do more to prevent mining waste from fouling downstream U.S. waterways.

"We weren't expecting to find elevated levels" in the river's fish, Gildea said. "To see this result indicates that something is going on and we're a little concerned about it."
