In 2014, the discharges of selenium to groundwater and surface water from the mining/mineral industry in Canada amounted to **** metric tons, an amount much larger than usual because of the Mount Polley dam breach that happened in British Columbia that year, which contributed ** metric tons of the total selenium discharges to water in that year.
