Our plan will include limiting water use and ensuring management and mitigation systems are in place for elements such as selenium during all project phases.
Grassy Mountain Water Management
We recognize the importance of clean water to all Albertans.
As partners in the community and residents of the region, we believe that it is essential that the water supply remains abundant and safe for local residents, businesses, ranchers and farmers.
That is why we are designing a mine with water management as a central component, drawing on leading expertise, and listening to the concerns of Albertans, Canadians and government regulators.
We will also actively monitor conditions at and around the project site to enhance environmental baseline data and assist in planning future activities, as well as routinely test water to ensure that it remains safe, drinkable, and sustainable.
We are obtaining additional groundwater data as part of the drilling program under review by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) to better understand the overall water regime and minimize impacts on water to the region. We are carrying out studies related to water quality including effective mitigation options that are successfully deployed at other coal mine sites.
