[BCFSN] BC Hydro and 2,4-D

[Ellen Rainwalker]

Yes, Dawn, you’re right. Anyone wildcrafting or farming near the sites that are to be sprayed should be provided with information about when and where the spraying is going to be done.

For more information about BC Hydro’s herbicide program, you could contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager at 604-516-8943 or thomas.wells at bchydro.com
The proposed treatment sites and the entire plan is at www.bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities

Glyphosate (Roundup) is one of the “treatments” proposed, as well as 2,4-D and 23 others. I’d say none of these should be used near organic farms or wildcrafting sites.

It says “A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of publication notice.
