According to the report, the Willow Creek, Wolverine and Brule mines northeast of Prince George only achieved 59 per cent of their original projected employment and 34 per cent of predicted tax revenue from 1999 to 2019
A new study based on three British Columbia coal mines says the economic benefits from the projects, used to justify their approval during the environmental review process, were "significantly overestimated."
According to Collard and Dempsey's report, a "predictive audit" of the three northeastern B.C. mines — Willow Creek, Wolverine and Brule — from 1999 to 2019 shows that the projects only achieved 59 per cent of their original projected employment and 34 per cent of predicted tax revenue. "The Environmental Assessment Office has a strong interest in research like this and are always looking for ways to improve our methods, effects assessment conclusions and recommendations and ultimately better support ministers’ decisions on whether or not a major project is approved to move forward," the statement from the office says.
Collard said the drop in caribou population in the region is accelerated despite a strengthening of the environmental assessment process in the mid-1990s. Goehring said another coal mine in the same region as the three used in the study, Glencore's Sukunka project, was rejected after environmental impact assessment by the federal government last December.
