Enhancing water quality in the Elk Valley

EVR has made significant progress implementing the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan, a long-term plan with the goal of stabilizing and reversing the trend of selenium and other constituents and improving the health of the watershed, while at the same time allowing for continued sustainable mining in the region. EVR's four water treatment facilities are removing between 95% and 99% of selenium and nitrate from treated water. Selenium and nitrate concentrations have stabilized and are now reducing downstream of treatment. EVR conducts extensive studies and monitoring of water quality and aquatic health, which includes regular water quality sampling at more than 130 water quality locations and over 100 biological monitoring stations in the Elk Valley and within the Koocanusa Reservoir. The purpose of this monitoring is to evaluate water quality and to allow for the early detection of emerging water quality concerns.
