Setting aside my disagreement with Site C being allowed to continue, I read an article that B.C. Hydro and/or its contractors are looking for a change to their contractual obligation to remove all of their structural construction debris prior to the flooding of the reservoir.
The article indicated that B.C. Hydro and/or its contractors suggest it would be too expensive and/or too disruptive to the environment to remove more than 20 hectares of their construction leftovers from the site. I would sincerely hope that whoever is approached to review this issue does not allow the equipment to be left in the reservoir.
There are too many examples of big corporations leaving their mess behind for future generations to either clean up or scratch their heads and wonder who allowed this to happen. My plea with the government in power, please do the right thing and require that the debris be removed and that no construction material is left behind.
