Hi John,
I was informed by Mr. D. Long that
you were the contact for the Miramar properties
in Nunavut with
respect to the water licences.
In this regard I have several
requests for clarification following receipt of an email from the NIRB
requesting comments on a screening for self-berming
containment at Boston, Windy and
Goose. I’ll address each site
individually:
Boston: Could you
clarify whether or not notification was given in accordance with the Water Licence NWB1BOS0106 under Part J. (NWB does not have any record of this).
Has construction already been
completed or started?
Windy: Same clarification request as
above. Water Licence no. NWB2HOP0207 Part B, Item 2.
Goose
Lake: I was
informed that new tank will be put in place at Goose lake. (Referring to letter dated Aug 24,
2004 To Mr
John Stard from Biogenie
Inc). At present the water licence for the
Goose
Lake site is
issued to Kinross Gold Corporation and is set to expire on
December 31,
2004. The “sale or other disposition by
a licensee of any right, title or interest in an appurtenant undertaking”
requires assignment of the water licence. The necessary forms are available on the
NWB ftp site. http://ftp.nunavut.ca/ While the licence is not in Miramar’s name the
water licence is set to expire at the end of this year
and no renewal application has been filed. It is unlikely that a renewal can be
processed before the expiry date.
If you would like to discuss these
issues further please do not hesitate to contact me or Phyllis Beaulieu, Manager
Licence Administration.
Regards,
Dionne
