Today the Secwepemc Women’s Warrior Society and Ancestral Pride launch the Imperial No More Campaign. We are launching this campaign to stop Imperial Metals before they cause any more violence and devastation to the lands, waters and our lives. We are seeking support to protect our unceded territories and to ensure the children of all people can eat the salmon and breathe the air, we cannot do it without your support.
On 18 August, the BC government with support of the Soda Creek Indian Band and Williams Lake Indian Band
ordered an independent engineering investigation into the pond breach,
and a third-party review of all 2014 dam safety inspections for every
permitted mine's tailings pond in the province. The panel reviewing this
breach was composed of Norbert Morgenstern, P.Eng., Dirk van Zyl,
P.Eng., and Steven Vick. Their final report was published January 31, 2015.[12] The investigation covered many factors including the question of whether the piezometers
measuring the water pressure on the dam had been located correctly. The
last readings, 2 August 2014, did not show any changes in the water
pressure.[2]On 1 February 2015, the Globe and Mail reported a principal finding of
the panel determined the tailings dam collapsed because of its
construction on underlying earth containing a layer of glacial till that
had been unaccounted for by the company's original engineering
contractor.[17]
