There’s a long history of concern over downstream pollution from British Columbia mining activity to U.S. watersheds. From the proposed Imperial Metals mine in the Skagit River watershed and the Teck Resources smelter in the Columbia River watershed of Washington to the Tulsequah Chief mine in the Taku River watershed of Alaska, Canada’s lax mining regulations pose a real threat to downstream rivers, salmon, and communities.

In recent years, calls from U.S. tribes, Canadian First Nations, and local, state, provincial and federal leaders, non-governmental stakeholders, and concerned citizens on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border have called for both countries to work together to prevent mine pollution of transboundary waters, and for Canada to update antiquated mining laws and regulations.

Webinar on Mine Waste Safety - No More Mount Polley Disasters!

Whether for gold, copper, lithium, or other mining, is it possible to safely manage mine waste and prevent catastrophic spills? What is the aftermath of these mine waste disasters for the affected communities? How do the regulations of one of Canada’s main mining jurisdictions, British Colombia, compare with best standards, including the new Safety First: Guidelines for Responsible Mine Tailings Management (a.k.a. People’s Tailings Standard)?

Western Transboundary Watersheds and the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909

Despite years of concern from Tribes and First Nations, scientists, businesses, residents and stakeholders across international lines, and unanimous calls upon the federal governments to enforce the Boundary Waters Treaty due to  ongoing and threatened pollution from B.C. mines, the U.S. Department of State and Global Affairs Canada have yet to honor their mutual obligations to protect our shared transboundary watersheds and establish a binational process that involves Tribes and First Nations.

Watch the recording of an unprecedented dialogue between members of the U.S.-Canada International Joint Commission, Indigenous Leadership, and key stakeholders on U.S./B.C. transboundary watersheds and the threats they face from large-scale B.C. mines - click here.
