Attached please find 6 digital photo's taken at various times of the day
on July 2nd, 2001.

In the last license issued to the Municipality (December 2000) a
restriction was placed on open burning allowing for the burining of (as
I understand) food wastes, paper products, and untreated lumber.

Image MVC-011F.JPG was taken at the location of the temporary Municipal
transfer site. The image shows pieces of foam insulation and a hard
plastic pail within the burn area.

Image MVC-103.JPG was taken at the location of the temporary Municipal
transfer site. The image shows a charred tire rim (the steel belts from
the tire were still on the rim indicating that the tire had been burned
on the rim), fibreglass insulation, and a hard plastic toy.

Image MVC-020F.JPG was taken on the evening of July 2nd from just behind
my apartment unit and shows smoke from the open burn drifting across the
inlet towards the community.

Image MVC-001F.JPG was taken at the Municipal landfill site. The image
shows a fairly large section of ABS pipe within the burning area.

Image MVC-006F.JPG was taken at the Municipal landfill site and shows
thick black smoke being emitted from the burn area and drifting towards
the Territorial Park area.

Image MVC-017F.JPG was taken in the afternoon of July 2nd from just
behind my apartment unit and shows smoke from the open burn drifting
towards the Territorial Park area.

While the Nunavut Water Board deadline of July 1st for submissions for
the matters currently under discussion has passed I would request that
these images and information be included in the discussions.

If it is not possible to include these images in the discussions because
of the July 1st deadline I would request that the deadline be extended
by a period of 3 days in order to provide the community of Iqaluit
opportunity to comment on the current situation.

Regardless of either of the above I would request that (in light of the
current situation) the Nunavut Water Board hold a public hearing in
Iqaluit to discuss the varience/ammendments requested by the
Municipality as opposed to a hearing by mail/fax.

Thank you for your consideration of these matters,

Marcel Mason
