Grassy Mountain Water Quality EIA 1 Hatfield 1.0 INTRODUCTION Benga Mining Limited(Benga) , a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riversdale Resources Limited, is proposing to construct and operate Grassy Mountain Coal Project (the Project)the , an open-pit metallurgical coal “It also underestimates modeled future increases in precipitation intensity, duration and frequency arising from climate change,” he said. The Riversdale Resources team is comprised of global experts in the fields of engineering, environment and management of proposed projects like ours. Coal mines in B.C., just across the border, have polluted fresh water with high levels of selenium, which is toxic to humans and aquatic life.”.
