Bulletin summary

We have received a notice of material change for the Wetland Clarification Pond that will result in Magris Talc Canada Inc. submitting a closure plan amendment.

Why consultation isn't required

This bulletin is for information only, as a closure plan amendment is not an instrument under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993. The Ministry of Mines is posting this bulletin to the Environmental Registry to keep the public informed of changes to mining projects in Ontario. If you wish to comment on this Closure Plan Amendment, please use the contact information for Lianne Kentish below.

Bulletin details

The proposed changes to the project are as follows:

  • Wetland: Larger surface area component of the Wetland Clarification Pond will passively remove any excess suspended solids
  • Intake Pond (forebay pond): To provide a measured effluent flow to a diffuser in the Nat River, a dredged pond will be equipped with an intake and pumping well to collect and pump the final effluent to the Nat River

The intent of the Wetland Clarification Pond passive treatment system will be to use the naturalized wetland basin to filter TSS from the tailings effluent inflow, so that high quality effluent can be discharged to the Nat River.
