Alberta regulator approves Northback coal exploration project in Rocky Mountains | Globalnews.ca

70% Informative
Northback Holdings Corp.’s project at Grassy Mountain was rejected in 2021 , when a panel ruled likely environmental effects on fish and water quality outweighed potential economic benefits.
A written decision from the regulator says it determined approving the project is in the public interest and the project won’t have negative effects on water quality or wildlife.
The regulator also determined that potential harm to wildlife is unlikely, as no new roads are to be constructed.
Conditions attached to the exploratory permits require the company to dispose of drilling waste to the regulator’s satisfaction, follow erosion control and weed management plans, and adhere to recommended environmental mitigation measures. The company’s permits are valid for five years , with the last three years to be set aside for reclamation work. With files from Lisa Johnson in Edmonton and Bill Graveland in Calgary ..
