So why would they even consider turning Fraser Surrey Docks into the third coal dock on the Lower Mainland. Folks living on both sides of the Fraser are well aware of the dust clouds which already erupt when other products are loaded on ships at FSD. Adding U.S. thermal coal dust will certainly not enhance the beauty of our area.
