Rio Tinto responds to criticism over water releases from Kenney Dam

Rio Tinto Alcan is defending the way it manages the Kenney Dam. Massive water releases and above average snowpack are contributing to flooding of the Nechako Valley. Vanderhoof and the Cheslatta First Nation are still trying to stave off the rising river. In the case of the Cheslatta, bodies from a cemetary are washing up on shore.
