Water-use banned after tailings dam bursts The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) has extended its water-use ban issued Aug. 4 to include the entire Quesnel and Cariboo rivers systems right to the Fraser River. The water-use ban followed a breach of the Mt. Polley Mine tailings pond near Likely early that morning. The CRD initially reported waterways affected by this event to include Quesnel and Polley lakes, and Hazeltine and Cariboo creeks. People living in, or travelling through, the affected locations are advised a complete water-use ban is in effect until further notice in the above mentioned areas. They are told to not drink, cook or bathe in the water, and to avoid water-based recreational activities, etc. Only bottled water should be used until further notice. Shortly after issuing the alert, the CRD stated consumption by people and livestock in these areas further down the watershed is not recommended. Boiling will not help, and swimming and other activities along the rivers are at your own risk. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett confirmed the tailings pond dam at the Mt. Polley Mine site breached and released an estimated 10 million cubic metres of (contaminated) water and 4.5 million cubic metres of fine sand into Polley Lake. The CRD stated it received information from helicopter reconnaissance taken early on Aug. 4, which showed a (comparatively) small amount of debris backed into Polley Lake. It indicates the main slurry flowed down Hazeltine Creek to reach Quesnel Lake, where the slurry and a large debris pile appeared to be stationary at that time.
