WOW! With that much "success" - we should all flush our toilets onto Stevie's vegetable garden......Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals spokesperson, who called the aftermath of the Mount Polley mine breach an "environmental success story."
I understand the desire to troll 3x5 - but this is serious stuff. On the garden thing - I doubt if your guts would be any better than anyone else's in handling E. coli. On the Polley tailings comment - see: http://www.ec.gc.ca/inrp-npri/donne...n&opt_npri_id=0000005102&opt_report_year=2013Without knowing precisely what they're discharging it's nothing but speculation. My yard and garden in my last house loved having the toilets flushed into it.

In particular - check out the "on-site disposal" of the quantities of arsenic, selenium, lead ...
"On-site" used to mean the tailings pond, 3x5. Now it means Quesnel Lake...
B.C. Quietly Grants Mount Polley Mine Permit to Pipe Mine Waste Directly Into Quesnel Lake

I doubt it, it's stored in a pit and tested BEFORE being released to the treatment plant. Think about it, there'd be pics all over the place every MSM outlet and all social media sites would be plugged with them if they were pumping slurry into the lake. Rest assured something this high priority is being monitored by several agencies and NGO's not just the fox in the hen house. You've omitted some details in past posts, probably on purpose. Scientists say the water meets drinking water quality, and after the spill the mine built a $2 million water treatment plant. It's not the same water that went into the tailings pond in the past.
Guess you avoided reading the previous pages of posts, 3x5 - where there are pics of the tailings pond emptying into Quesnel Lake...
Yes - I do - from this post above:Are you being intentionally obtuse? Do you really think I'm not aware of what happened? ...

would like to see some of our politicians drinking the water they're pumping back into the lake.... show me that and maybe I'll believe it...
Yes - I do - from this post above:
Your words, 3x5...
"We are not talking about the original breach"Where are they pumping unsettled, untreated slurry into the lake today? We're not talking about the original breach.

Hint; refer to post #5 in this thread
It's pretty obvious my last few posts were in response to your link in #378, and talking about today not what happened in 2014 as just like a river moving there's nothing to debate
I don't understand how 10 million cubic metres of contaminated slurry released into Quesnel Lake suddenly becomes irrelevant because you don't want to talk about it.
Huh? That comment makes no sense 2 me 3x5.
