  • Is there a reason that a deadline date is not stated or a submit procedure does not exist for 83207?   The attached are my comments sent to the Manitoba Environmental Approvals Branch. Request that they be included in the request to designate the Potash and Agri Development Corporation of Manitoba Ltd. #83207   Please note that the project will go beyond 2050 and must comply with Bill C-12 and SACC. The project requires installation of a new gas pipeline to supply the volume required. Canada is one of the world’s top emitters for GHG emissions from fertilizers and can only reduce fertilizer emissions through regenerative farming practices that do not rely on synthetic fertilizers. Crude oil and Amine are used on the product and toxic to aquatic life. Leaks/spills/contamination from the mill site and mining activities will flow to the Assiniboine River flowing into the Red River and Lake Winnipeg. The mining technique is new, has not progressed outside of the lab and remains unproven.   Tangi Bell

  • Public registry 6126.00 - Potash and Agri Development Corporation of Manitoba Ltd. (PADCOM) The following are reasons for my objection to the proposed horizontal selective solution mining and milling project. According to Manitoba Classes of Development Regulation potash mine and mills fall under a Class 3 Development. In 1988, public hearings by the Clean Environment Commission were provided for the development of a potash mine at Russell, Manitoba by Canamax Resources. 1 • I request written reason as to why this proposed project is being handled differently and not assessed under Class 3 developments? A10 km radius is identified for potential effects from the project (3.2 Spatial Boundaries). This radius extends outside of Manitoba and would then dictate agreement from the province of Saskatchewan as per section 13.1 of the Manitoba Environment Act. Although the Hatfield Aquifer is mainly in Saskatchewan it extends into Manitoba and will be used by the proponent; a Water Rights License should be required from the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency. The land slopes to the east, flowing to the Assiniboine River. (4.1.3) Leaks/spills/contamination from the mill site and mining will flow to the Assiniboine River which flows into the Red River and Lake Winnipeg. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada(IAAC) and Fisheries should be notified by PADCOM as required under IAAC guidelines and regulations to assess impacts from project operations on the Assiniboine River system. The city of Brandon and many towns use the River as a drinking water source. It is unclear if those obtaining drinking water from the River have been consulted. • Provide a fish and fish habitat assessment. • Provide a study ...

  • December 13, 2021 CIAR File No.: 83207 Shelly Boss Project Manager, Prairie and Northern Region Impact Assessment Agency of Canada Subject: Natural Resources Canada’s Submission of the Federal Authority Advice Record for the Designation Request of the Proposed Potash Solution Mining Project On November 23, 2021, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) requested that Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) provide input to a Federal Authority Advice Record form for the designation request of the proposed Potash Solution Mining Project (the Project) by Potash and Agri Development Corporation of Manitoba (the proponent). NRCan understands that IAAC will use this advice to inform the Minister of Environment and Climate Change on whether the Project should be designated under the Impact Assessment Act. It is unlikely that NRCan will be required to exercise a power or perform a duty or function related to the Project. NRCan may provide specialist or expert information or knowledge in areas of its scientific and technical expertise (e.g., groundwater quantity, socioeconomic impacts of mining) to IAAC, as requested, if the Project is subject to a federal impact assessment. Please find attached below NRCan’s submission of the Federal Authority Advice Record for the designation request of the Project.
