On April 11th 2018, we went downstream of the South Salmo River confluence to have a look at the Environmental response activities following the fuel spill in the South Salmo River. A spider hoe, a low Environmental impact exactor, was on site to agitate the substrate in order to release the fuel trapped in the substrate. Booms were still on site to contain and skim the fuel. We also went on the field the week before. The smell was still apparent and walking on the stream edge released fuel sheening. We flipped a few rocks and only dead invertebrates were observed. On April 14th, we were informed that the environmental emergency response team was leaving the site. The Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society was not involved in the environmental emergency.
