RE: RE: COAL MINES put CV Supply at significant ri additionally, the ongoing reports of Quinsam Coal Mine arsenic and acid mine pollution from the Campbell River watershed group reveal what we can expect from Raven--that contamination is likely and that the government not only fails to enforce controlling contamination but permits a substantial expansion despite ongoing reports of increased contamination. The Chief Inspector of Mines ordered QM to clean up the contamination, but with no timeline and increased their security bond to over 7 million. A gap in the CEC feasibility study that supports the greenwashing fantasy that Raven will protect the watershed are costs for mitigation, for compensating First Nations for loss of fish revenue due to anticipated contamination of Cowie Creek, or for a security bond . To permit a coal mine a few km from established communities and the Baynes Sound is simply a symptom of dereglation that stakeholders will oppose fiercely with a preponderance of scientific evidence during the public comment period.
