No waterways have been impacted from a spill at a West Fraser Timber-owned factory in Quesnel early this week.
The B.C. Ministry of Environment was on-scene at the WestPine Medium-Density Fibreboard plant on Carradice Road on April 15 at 4:30 p.m to investigate after they were notified of a 2.5-million litre effluent spill.
The liquid substance that spilled was being piped between that operation and a nearby pulp mill.
