I have finally reviewed your notes and agree with most points. However, I believe that the city agreed to not only mark/cordon off the areas of extraction, but the areas with known contamination as well as directed in INAC's September 1, 2004 directions. In addition, I believe that the city agreed to control and monitor any runoff from the contaminated areas to ensure little water enters into the areas where extraction is occurring. During the discussion, I believe that it was noted that the Quarry Management Plan, which should include Environmental Management and Abandonment & Reclamation components, should be approved by Nunavut Community and Government Services, and the approved plan provided to the Nunavut Water Board (NWB). The Quarry Management Plan would follow under the Quarry Management Agreement of 1997. Since Carney Creek has been diverted around the North 40 and any activities in the area could potentially affect water quality, the NWB should be informed of all aspects to assist in any decisions. As for the timelines, the City of Iqaluit had been informed a number of years ago that a water license would be required should continued operations use and/or affect water. Within correspondence with the city from 2004, the city was informed about the need for a water licence and seemed aware of the requirements and the process. Therefore, if the city of Iqaluit had begun the precess as late as last spring, the issue of timeliness would not exist now. I have noticed some staking and marking of the areas of potential contamination at the North 40. Field Inspectors from INAC will periodically visit to ensure that the city is not causing damage. I suggest the city review the previous directions of the INAC Field Inspectors/Water Resource Officers to ensure all outstanding issues are resolved. However, I assume the city will continue to provide sufficient information to the NWB to ensure the process towards a water licence continues. J. D.
