The company that owns Lake Okanagan Resort has been fined $47,870 relating to its wastewater treatment facility and practices.
Five administrative penalties were levelled against 1782 Holdings Ltd. (the appellant) after its challenge of the fines was denied by the Environment Appeal Board.
In its decision, the board pointed out that the foreshore adjacent to disposal areas, the receiving environment for discharged wastewater, is listed by the Ministry of Environment as a high habitat value for shore spawning Kokanee.
