Environmental Assessment:
Schaft Creek environmental and socio-economic baseline studies began in October 2005 and are ongoing. Baseline studies completed in 2006 included wildlife (moose, goats and bird studies), water quality, aquatic biology, fisheries, hydrology, meteorology, archaeology and metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD). The results of the 2006 studies were reviewed by federal and provincial regulators and the Tahltan Nation. The scope of work for the 2007 environmental and socio-economic baseline studies was increased significantly and was aimed at fulfilling requirements of both a federal and provincial environmental assessment process and the specific studies requested by the Tahltan Nation. The work and scope of the 2007 environmental and socio-economic baseline studies were presented and approved by government authorities and the Tahltan Nation. The 2007 baseline reports are available below.
Copper Fox has developed environmental and social baseline work plans for 2008, see below. These programs will be presented to the Tahltan Nation and federal and provincial regulators for review. These reports will be finalized in the third quarter of 2008. The anticipated completion date of the application for an environmental assessment certificate is the fourth quarter 2008.
