Last weeks Gas Diesel Spill
« on: October 18, 2005, 10:01:41 AM »
did you guys hear about the train that derailed last week and dumped a large amount of gas/diesel into the fraser near chilliwack?  This is happening far too frequently!  :-\

Its not just the trains causing damage, I wonder how much harm to the environment the tug boats on the Fraser cause, yesterday while barfishing the lower fraser we were almost overwhelmed by the smell of diesel and oil, also a huge slick was visable for the whole time we fished, don't know if its being dumped into the river or just leaky tanks but we have seen this a number of times on the river.
