The Scout Island Nature Centre is hosting a presentation on environmental monitoring and reclamation at Mount Polley Mine, tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 19 starting at 7:30 p.m.
The program will be presented by Colleen Hughes, environmental co-ordinator for Mount Polley Mining Corporation.
The presentation will include information on the reclamation research and planning that is ongoing at the mine site, says Scout Island environmental educator Sue Hemphill.
She says environmental technicians at Mount Polley are responsible for environmental monitoring and so much more. The presentation will also include a review of current monitoring methods for surface and groundwater, vegetation, soils, air, climate, and wildlife.
The presentation also provides information on employee education for spill response, wildlife awareness, and sensitive habitat identification.
