I know the Ministry of Environment application says this Vale/Inco application for permit to take water is for groundwater remediation but that's still a lot of water. What is being remediated anyways? and for 10 years how will this effect aquifers and water tables etc.
I think GroundWater remediation sounds like a really good thing but following so close to the SARA (Sudbury Soils Study Assessment) response and the recent public meeting on INCO's application for an exception to the 2010 pollution guidelines I though asking for 800,000 liters of water was a bit much. Perhaps this is cause for another public consultation? or at least more information
Here is the Ontario Government info on the Permits to take water process including Green Facts classification system and water conservation requirements etc.
