[Coal field development near Quinsam River and Campbell River coal port]
Part of CHEK TV fonds
News item. An environmental spokesman expresses his doubts about the proposed coal field development near the Quinsam River, which is being diverted into the Campbell River. Mining could pollute the river completely and stop the salmon run. A regional district spokesman from Campbell River speaks out against both the coal mine and the coal port because it will spoil the neighbouring environment (coal dust) and will generate a lot of traffic, as well as harming the salmon run. A spokesman for Campbell River area residents near the proposed coal port discusses a planned waterfront study to ensure orderly development of the port. He says the B.C. government has been asked to a longer look at the economic feasibility of transporting coal to this site. Still, most area residents want the mine development to proceed if the environmental factors can be resolved.
