Mount Polley Mine disaster sent 25 million cubic metres of poisoned water from the copper and gold mine surging into waterways including Polley and Quesnel lakes on Aug. 4, 2014 .
The impact is now filtering though the legal system, with 15 federal Fisheries Act charges laid last week against Imperial Metals Corp. and two other firms.
Research shows elevated metal accumulation and toxicity in freshwater scuds and mayfly larvae from sediments affected by the spill.
Imperial Metals says it won't comment on the charges because it's been served with the Fisheries Act indictment.
The Mount Polley mine disaster now “seems to be a far distant memory,” says owner of Quesnel Lake resort.
A conservation adviser with the Watershed Watch Salmon Society said the poor returns in the Fraser have been compared to a “death of a thousand cuts”.
