Today,all companies in B.C. have to have a closure plan in place before they commence mining. That closure plan must have funds in place to guarantee that the land will be converted back into productive use and ARD will not contaminate the environment post-mining.<br /><br />As to legacy mine sites, many of the most dangerous ones are being dealt with - Britannia Beach being one of these. The Tesulquah Cheif mine project in fact, if it is permitted to go ahead, will remediate waste dumps from past mining activity at the site.<br /><br />If we don't allow mining in B.C. then what we are really doing is shifting mining activities to other parts of the world who don't mine ethically or environmentally. You all have to start taking a more holistic approach as the problems and issues are far more complicated that simply stopping all mining here in B.C.John Meechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154408360424483615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414404348331965096.post-39881260424351846792010-01-20T19:48:57.908-08:002010-01-20T19:48:57.908-08:00And please do not forget to read Jared Diamond'...And please do not forget to read Jared Diamond's COLLAPSE and the mining disasters in Montana. it seems mine companies and politicians are in bed together for a 'quickie'. Construct a mine, take the profit, shut the mine down and leave the taxpayers to pick up the clean up bills that far exceed the value the mine could ever hope to produce. Mines are for quick fortune hunters who 'rape' the environment and and run. And the Campbell government has let this crowd loose in BC. What a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
