Putting Bacteria to Work: Addressing Historical Impacts at Our Trail Operations
The Lower Columbia Ecosystem Management Program (LCEMP) is a collaborative approach to assess, rehabilitate, monitor, conserve and enhance land ecosystems in the Lower Columbia area.
The Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) is an in-depth review of the aquatic health of the Lower Columbia River downstream of Trail Operations which has confirmed that water quality is good, the river is healthy, and fish are safe to eat.
Trail Operations is carrying out remedial investigation and feasibility studies in the Upper Columbia River area. To date, the studies have generally shown that the water in the river system meets applicable water quality standards in both Canada and the United States, that the beaches are safe for recreational activities, and that the fish in the river system are as safe or safer to eat than fish in other water bodies in Washington State.
Since the 1970s, $1.7 billion has been invested in a modernization program to improve our operational and environmental performance.
As part of the Ecological Risk Assessment conducted at Trail Operations, Teck identified an area of groundwater affected by the site’s historical activities. Since then, we have undertaken a series of studies to identify the scope and impact of the affected groundwater and have developed a groundwater remediation plan.
Teck Trail Operations is actively involved in the Trail Area Health and & Environment Committee, a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue, collective decision making and community engagement with respect to health and environment programs (thep.ca), chaired by the Mayor of Trail with representatives from Teck, Interior Health, B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, Trail and Warfield municipal councils and local community members.
