No waterways have been impacted from a spill at a West Fraser Timber-owned factory in Quesnel early this week. The B.C. Ministry of Environment was on-scene at the WestPine Medium-Density Fibreboard plant on Carradice Road on April 15 at 4:30 p.m to investigate after they were notified of a 2.5-million litre effluent spill. The liquid substance that spilled was being piped between that operation and a nearby pulp mill. According to the factory’s owner, West Fraser Timber, it was the company’s own system that made the discovery. …The ministry says an environmental emergency officer intends to visit the site this week to confirm West Fraser is taking appropriate action. …“Currently, the ministry does not perceive an imminent or acute risk to the environment.”
