LIKELY — B-C’s professional association of engineers says it will hold disciplinary hearings next year for three engineers related to the Mount Polley tailings dam collapse.
Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia is alleging negligence or unprofessional conduct by Laura Fidel, Stephen Rice and Todd Martin in the course of their professional activities.
They were involved in the design, construction and monitoring of the tailings storage facility at the Mount Polley gold and copper mine.
It was the site of one of the largest spills in the province’s history when the dam collapsed in 2014 and sent 24 million cubic metres of mine waste and sludge into nearby waterways.
