Hello,
The region has been down to one inspector for too long, and the workload seems to be picking up
quite a bit. I have not made it to the site yet, but I had spoken with Samir right after you and I spoke
last on the phone about WW, and the consultant had only requested SW.
Similar to what I had stated when we last spoke, do you have a problem including WW in this COC
and going ahead and issuing permit? Again, my thought is that the intention of the NOI is for the SW
that is passing into the measure and on through a portion of the site via existing features. However,
the NOV and mining permit modification ($750) were because this office had discovered that SW
had blown -out an on-site measure. It seems to me that maintenance within an on-site measure may
constitute a WW discharge.
I am fine with the issuance, but I think it should include WW.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss.
Thanks,
Thom

Good morning Thom,

I think the last time we spoke about this one, you wanted to perform a site visit before I issued the
COC. Just checking on the status of that, or if you are ok with moving forward with issuance?
Thanks.
