Mr. Vince Ewing June 11, 2008 Dear Mr. Ewing, I am writing on behalf of the Community Coalition Against Mining Uranium (CCAMU) to follow up - urgently now - on the matter of reported infractions of environmental requirements in the area staked for uranium exploration by Frontenac Ventures Corporation. In July 2007, a number of infractions were reported to your Ministry, including material deposited in fish-bearing waters, and damage to vegetation, potentially including species at risk. I understand the MNR was investigating these matters, as indeed it is required to do. It will soon be a year from the time of the initial report, and operations are continuing in the same area. It is therefore a matter of urgency for CCAMU that we be informed of the results of the MNR's investigation, and that the Ministry take immediate steps to enforce the environmental protections that are so important for the sustainability of this land. Thanking you in advance for your prompt and detailed reply. Regards, Marilyn Crawford |
