None of 40 Sisson Mine conditions met so far, province says – CBC

Opponents say decade-old environmental approval is outdated and should start over

The New Brunswick government is acknowledging that none of the 40 conditions imposed on the Sisson Mine project have been met almost a decade after they were attached to the province’s environmental impact assessment approval.

That is giving environmentalists another argument in their case against the massive resource project that would be built northwest of Fredericton.

“The EIA process is a living process, so I’d say the 40 are not complied [with] yet, and we know that 28 of those conditions need to be fulfilled before construction starts,” Environment Minister Gilles LePage told reporters recently at the legislature.
