Vivian Sand Processing Facility Project and Vivian Sand Extraction Project
CanWhite Sands Corp. is proposing the construction and operation of the Vivian Sand Processing Facility Project, a new silica sand processing facility located within the Rural Municipality of Springfield, about 35 kilometres east of Winnipeg, Manitoba. As proposed, the Vivian Sand Processing Facility Project would produce over 1.3 million tonnes of silica sand per year, and be located on private land designated for aggregate/industrial activities and adjacent to existing CN Rail infrastructure. The project, which would include the construction of a wet plant, a dry plant and a rail load out, would receive trains on a weekly basis to allow for the transportation of the silica sand product to national and international markets. The proponent is also proposing the construction and operation of the Vivian Sand Extraction Project. Extraction would involve temporary water well drill holes into which air would be injected to flow water and sand to the surface as a slurry. The slurry would be transported to the Vivian Sand Processing Facility using a moveable slurry line, which would be relocated alongside the drilling rigs.
