Subject Matter Details
Regulation
- Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will approve and implement the Red Chris Mine Fish Habitat Compensation Plan and the effectiveness of measures to compensate for the loss of any fish habitat associated with a mine development.
DFO, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada work closely to conduct a thorough analysis of tailings management options by Red Chris. This ensures that the tailings impoundment area selected, it is the most environmentally and socio-economically sensible for this project.
- The Metal Mining Effluent Regulations (MMER), enacted in 2002, were developed under section 36 of the Fisheries Act to regulate the deposit of mine tailings and other waste matter produced during mining operations into natural fish bearing waters. These regulations, administered by Environment Canada, are for both new and existing mines. They are among the most comprehensive and stringent national standards for mining effluents in the world.
If a developer proposes to use a natural fish bearing water body for tailings management, DFO ensures that a thorough environmental assessment is done to determine the impacts. There is public consultation related to the potential use of the water body, and DFO approves a fish habitat compensation plan to ensure no net loss of fish habitat results from the use of this water body.
If a pond is going to be used to store tailings, then companies need to compensate by recreating the lost habitat.
