Selenium in those waters already exceeds American levels. Groups from U.S. senators to tribal chiefs have written Canada’s federal government to complain. “It was recommended no more mines be put in the Flathead, which took that off the board for the B.C. government. B.C. doesn’t see a lot of motivation to see another watershed board.”
