The Editor,
There has been no mention of Kinder Morgan’s expanded tank farm at the base of Burnaby Mountain.
Do you live, work or study near this expanded tank farm? Is the tank farm safe?
The consequences of a seismic event are increased due to the location of the facility.
A toxic impact of up to 5.2 km down wind due to SO2 created in a fire and smoke impacts could reach as far out as 43 km, according to the Tactical Risk Analysis Report by the Burnaby Fire Department. That’s from a one- to two-day burn.
This toxic cloud will render the Lower Mainland and all of Coquitlam quite uninhabitable.
Learn about the tank farm risks: www.350Vancouver.org/KMtankfarm and brokepipelinewatch.ca. Say no to the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
