RE: RE: Hydrology and Protecting Water Supply... Underground water isn't so much of an issue because, unless travelling through underground tunnels, the land acts as a natural filter.

The geology beneath this deposit is sedimentary - mostly glacial till, which eliminates the possibility of underground tunnels which could be found in something like limestone.
Think! Underground water is ALREADY travelling through this wealthy coal deposit. And our shellfish are fine.
Calls for the BC government to map underground aquifers is expensive and only stands as an unnecessary delay. When common sense is trumped by idiodic environmentalist demands, we again find ourselves wasting taxpayers' money. Constant abuse of the EA process by people like you is the reason that the federal government is now taking steps to change the whole system. I think it's unfortunate that the previous system was unable to work, but unqualified people were increasingly commanding the research expenditures and dollars have been increasingly spent on useless studies such as underground aquifer mapping within sedimentary facies.
I'm not opposed to any sort of mapping; however, I AM opposed to wastefull spending.
This is a clean project. You're against burning coal - Period.
