After more than a year of the Province working alongside the TRTFN, a plan has been created to close and reclaim the mine. Some of the first steps, which the funding will support include, replacing and repairing bridges, establishing an erosion protection berm and repairing the existing airstrip. That work is critical to prepare the site in order to address environmental, health and safety issues, and undertake the long-term remediation.

“One of the benefits of the work on the reclamation plan is safeguarding the salmon, and the joint effort with the Province has been key to reaching this stage of a plan.”—John Ward, spokesperson for the TRTFN

The Province along with the TRTFN will contract a light detection and ranging sensor survey which will provide topographic information, detailed enough to support further design work.

The closure and reclamation plan outlines a phased approach that involves a series of steps designed to reduce the ongoing contamination. It is designed to be flexible, so changes can be made once more information is gathered from the site.
