Vancouver, british columbia, oct. 30, 2020 (globe newswire) -- teck resources limited (tsx: teck.a and teck.b, nyse: teck) ("teck resources") today announced that environment and climate change canada has issued a direction under the fisheries act (the “direction”) to teck coal limited (“teck”), setting out measures to be taken to improve water quality and prevent calcite deposition in the elk valley in waters affected by teck's fording river and greenhills operations. the measures set out in the direction are complementary to measures already included in the elk water quality plan (“evwqp”) being implemented by teck. the direction does not require construction of any additional water treatment facilities beyond those already contemplated by the evwqp, but sets out requirements with respect to water management such as diversions, mine planning, fish monitoring and calcite prevention measures, as well as the installation by december 31, 2030, of a 200-hectare geo-synthetic cover trial in the greenhills creek drainage. the headwaters of greenhills creek have been identified as the location where a geo-synthetic cover over waste rock has the greatest technical potential as a source control measure. if the cover trial is successful, there may be potential for geo-synthetic covers to be deployed in a limited number of other specific settings in the elk valley to supplement other source control measures already under development.
