Mount Polley was given permission for a restricted re-start by the provincial government today.
Production is authorized at half the normal rate, says BC’s ministry of energy and mines. Imperial Metals will require 30 days to begin production. During restricted operations, the company expects to provide jobs for up to 220 workers.
Some of the conditions for starting will be no water discharge off the site, said Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett. The company will need to obtain a permit in the fall to begin treating and discharging water.
