Fifteen charges have been laid against Imperial Metals Corp. more than a decade after a tailings pond collapsed the Mount Polley mine.

The collapse of the dam at the gold and copper mine is considered one of the largest environmental disasters in B.C. history.

Imperial says as the matter is before the courts it won’t be making further comment.
