After the catastrophic failure of the Mount Polley mine tailings dam last summer, an expert engineering panel appointed by the B.C. government called for a major shift in how to deal with mine waste.
The panel recommended a move away from the conventional method of storing waste behind dams. But companies in British Columbia with proposals for large, open-pit metal mines have no plans, at least for now, to follow the panel’s recommendation, a review by The Vancouver Sun has found.
