Teck is committed to the highest standards of environmental management and performance across our operations, projects and legacy properties. We work in highly regulated jurisdictions with stringent and rigorously applied environmental legislation and implement company-wide management standards focused on a range of issues from water management through to air quality.
Since the mid-1990s, Teck has invested over $1.5 billion to modernize the Trail facility to improve operation and environmental performance and has reduced emissions to air and water by over 95%.
小径在加拿大法规下在加拿大进行常规空气监测，所有排放符合包括铅和砷等物质的适用监管标准，以及二氧化硫和颗粒。例如，2017年，社区空气的年平均铅为0.16微克/立方米。这不仅仅是实现2018年的空气质量目标为0.2微克/立方米，由此设定Trail Health and Environment Committeethrough its public consultation in 2010, and was the most stringent in Canada at the time.
With respect to potential historical impacts, Teck has spent over US$85 million to date on a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Upper Columbia River in Washington under U.S. EPA oversight. The investigation is intended to identify whether historical practices at Trail have caused unacceptable risks to human health or the environment. U.S. EPA has declined to require the additional air monitoring requested by Washington’s Department of Ecology as part of that study.
我们致力于完成补救投资igation study to fully assess any potential unacceptable risks due to Trail Operations’ historic practices and, if necessary, take action to address them.
