Dear Mr. Andersen;
With regard to the application that was submitted by Pure
Gold Minerals Inc. to the NWB for the Cygnet Lake Area (North James River
Property on August 11, 2004, file NWB2CYG, the NWB is
requesting additional information to distribute for review and comment
with the original application.
For the purpose of expediting the application, the
submitted documents were deemed administratively complete, however the
information submitted for the Spill Contingency Plan and the Abandonment and
Restoration Plan were technically insufficient as far as meeting minimum
requirements for the plans. The LUP application submitted along with the NWB
Licence application made note of an appendix E and F for reference to A&R
and SPill Plans, however none were included.
In order to move along as quickly as possible with the review, I
would like to request that these two documents be submitted as soon as feasibly
possible so that they may be included in the distribution prior to the close of
the review period.
I have attached two documents from the public record that are
representative of the information that is required. These should give a "typical
template" with which to prepare the necessary documents for the Cygnet Lake camp
and drilling program. The A&R Plan and the Spill Plan are required to
be stand alone documents and therefor include all the necessary
information typical of a seperate document; ie sections describing the
project, scope, location, purpose, and other specific components.
Prior to submitting this Spill Contingency Plan in
particular, you may wish to take a few moments and review the Plan to confirm
that the necessary information is contained. It should include, but not be
limited to the following;
-name and address of person in charge;
-name/title/24 hour contace number of person
responsible;
-location/size/capacity of fuel/chemical storage
areas;
-Types/amounts of products, inventory;
-site map showing location of facilities (camp, fuel
storage, drill location);
-outline of the steps to report/contian/cleanup and
respond to a spill;
-How the plan is to be activated;
-a description of the training that is provided to
personnel responsible;
-an Inventory/location of spill response
equipment/supplies(spill kits on site and their capacity/contents);
-a copy of the NWT Spill Report Form;
-emergency contact numbers; including the DIAND water
resources Inspector at 867-979-4298;
-up-to-date MSDS's including CaCl which has been
designated by Env. Can. as a toxic substance under CEPA and must be handled as
such;
If you have any questions or concerns on the above, please
do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
Regards,
