Teck Resources’ former coal unit has been handed fines totalling approximately C$221,000 for nearly 30 cases of environmental breaches in southeastern British Columbia over a two-year period.
However, the Ministry found these wastes had little to no actual impact to the environment because they were “limited to the heavily disturbed area in and around the pit and coal processing plant.” In one of the incidences, the contamination exceeded the province’s guidelines for sulphide and selenium, which can cause deformities in fish and health issues for humans, the Ministry said.Monday, Teck Coal said that the investigations were undertaken to determine the root causes of each unintended spill, and that repairs have been completed to prevent any future incidents.
