Jaffray diesel spill cleanup continues
The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Feb. 2 shared an update from the B.C. Ministry of Environment regarding the diesel spill in Jaffray.
Collection and removal of diesel contaminants from the recovery trench is ongoing. A water sample was collected to assess water quality. Results are pending.
Continued monitoring well installation/bore hole drilling program. Installation of monitoring wells was not completed due to insufficient subcontractor equipment. An alternate drilling subcontractor will continue their installation on March 4 and 5.
The results from the soil samples collected so far from the monitoring well installation/bore hole drilling program are expected March 4.
Stantec is working with the Ministry of Environment to determine the feasibility of a water treatment system on site to support the return of clean water back into the natural system to limit impacts on the groundwater levels and river flows.
