Any action on the Chehalis there?

The Chehalis is not a topic on the agenda for the SSBC AGM. However, it was brought up at our directors meeting where there was some discussion on the proposal from Statlu Resources for an application to dump contaminated soils at their operation. The SSBC is opposed to this project because of the potential impacts to the Chehalis ecosystem. There was a meeting held by the Fraser Valley Regional District with the applicant on Dec 14, 2015. There is a summary of the meeting here http://www.fvrd.ca/assets/Services/Documents/Planning~and~Development/Current~Applications/Remediated~Soil~Disposal~Site/Staff%20Report%20-%20December%2014%202015%20Public%20Information%20Meeting.pdf

We encourage people to take action. There is an online petition here:
