Snowmobile club failed to report diesel spill in lake: BC government
BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 22 – The Revelstoke Snowmobile Club was ticketed for reporting a diesel spill days late after a snowcat leaked tens of litres into Frisby's Summit Lake, prompting ongoing remediation efforts.
- The B.C. government ticketed Revelstoke Snowmobile Club for failing to report the diesel spill until several days after snow groomer fell through ice on Frisby Ridge.
- Following delayed notification, the ministry noted that the spill was first logged on Dec. 7, 2024, and environmental assessments were delayed due to ice cover.
- Amid ongoing monitoring, officials detailed the scope of environmental testing for the spill, including 'tens of litres' of diesel entering the lake, as the ministry said.
- 'Out of caution, swimming and drinking from Summit Lake are not recommended at this time,' the ministry advised, as further sampling results and mitigation progress will inform any change in these advisories.
- Under the province's oversight, ongoing summer monitoring will precede a final assessment this fall, with RSC collaborating on mitigation efforts during July until September.
