The 2014 breach of the Mount Polley mine tailings impoundment released 25 M m3 of tailings and water into the West Basin of Quesnel Lake, an important Sockeye Salmon nursery lake. Five moorings are maintained in the lake to monitor turbidity, temperatures, and currents in support of research on ecosystem recovery. |
