Comments on the BHP Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (NWT Chamber of Mines, October 1995)
The NWT Chamber of Mines submits a letter supporting the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed BHP NWT Diamonds Project, arguing it is the most comprehensive environmental review for a northern Canadian mining operation and requesting the Panel proceed to public hearings. The letter compares the project favorably to existing northern mines in terms of physical footprint, environmental impact, and economic benefits.
