Editor: In view of the low regard our federal government and Port Metro Vancouver have for us and the environment we live in, we're depending on Delta's mayor and council to see that Port Metro Vancouver and the coal
companies undergo full health impact and environmental assessment studies. Coal dust and the heavy metals it spreads, diesel particulates emitted from ships' engines and railway diesel units, ship wrecks, train collisions, as well as derailments, and industrial noises are recognized threats to the environment and the public's health.
Canada has no national interest in handling U.S. thermal coal that's too dirty for Americans to tolerate.
