As an Environmental Studies student I would like to address my concerns that this project would have on the environment. One of which being landscape and ecosystem eradication of the natural environment. This project will interfere with living organisms that rely on the area and will have lasting impacts to the surrounding areas. Taking into account that the mine will be in place for 15 years, that is enough time to have cumulative impacts. This project will contribute to the annual greenhouse gas emissions and interfere with people's day to day lives. It will also have an impact on the natural hydrology of the area, which can interfere with marine life and aquatic habitats. The construction of the mine will be disturbing in a number of ways creating noise and eventually air pollution as there will be continuous use of heavy machinery. I hope that you are taking into consideration any Indigenous Nations land who you may be occupying and have consulted with any or all communities. Will the future lasting effects and jobs that this mine creates outweigh the environmental impacts that it will have? What can be done to make sure that the effects are mitigated and the environment can be restored once the project is over?
