URGENT!! Please write to the Review Panel to save Fish Lake!!
This is critical. The panel has just moved forward in their process-WAY earlier than we thought they would. They have started the 30 day review period of the technical information that Taseko has submitted since June to satisfy the panel’s information request. We have until September 18th to comment. This is urgent and we could use others writing letters to the public record too.Bottom line - The Prosperity Mine would represent a disastrous precedent for mining policy that puts all lakes in Canada at risk of destruction for the storage of contaminated mining waste. Is this what we want??

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency announced the beginning of the 30-day public comment period Wednesday.
“This 30-day comment period gives Aboriginal groups, governments and the public an opportunity to submit their views in writing to the panel on the adequacy of the additional information as measured against the EIS Guidelines and on the technical merit of the information presented. Opportunities to present overall views on the project will be provided at the future public hearing,” the public notice reads.
Once the 30-day period ends, the panel will determine whether it has sufficient information to proceed to the public hearing. A public notice will be issued and interested parties notified at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the hearing.
PLEASE WRITE OR FAX A LETTER TODAY!
