KGHM-Ajax says project won’t threaten public health
KAMLOOPS — Experts hired by KGHM-Ajax to help prepare the company’s environmental application say the project’s impacts to air quality should not be a concern.
According to Peter Reid of Stantec Consulting, the mine may add more particulate to the air for Kamloops residents living above Aberdeen Drive, but even then, that neighbourhood will still have among the best air quality in the city.
Reid says studies of the mine in isolation and the city in isolation were conducted, and then overlaid.
