more on Mount Milligan proposed mine near Prince George BC

Further to my blog entry on October 30, 2009, about the proposed Mount Milligan gold/copper mine in north central British Columbia (northwest of Prince George),

members of the public have until tomorrow, November 12, 2009, to submit comments to Environment Canada about the possibility of amending the Metal Mining Effluent Regulation pursuant to the federal Fisheries Act to have King Richard Creek & Alpine Creek added to Schedule 2 of said regulation. . .

meaning in other words, if they are added to this schedule,

they will no longer be fish-bearing creeks.

They will be "tailings impoundment areas" for the mine.
