- I am writing to express my concerns following review of the NWP Coal Canada Ltd. (NWP) Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project (the Project) Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and associated Executive Summary. Project Footprint and Access The Project’s footprint will directly impact between 851-1280 hectares (ha). According to the Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping 71.47% (916.97 ha) of the Project footprint is on land with or capable of producing Old Growth and Mature Forest with all being cleared over the Project’s life, removing Species at Risk (e.g., whitebark pine) and wildlife habitat. There is mention that new conservation lands will be established (E.7.14.3) with no further detail or rationale as to how these will function as an offset for disturbance to existing conservation lands or a commitment to establishing these new lands close to the Project’s impact. Increased traffic along the upgraded Grave Creek and ...

- After thorough review of the NWP (hereafter known as the Proponent) Crown Mountain Coal Project (hereafter known as the Project) located twelve kilometers (km) north of the District of Sparwood, British Columbia (BC), it can be determined that this Project is not in the public’s best interest. For example, although the Proponent identified approximately 55 Valued Components (VC), of which three are regionally valued components through the Elk Valley Cumulative Effects Management Framework (EV-CEMF) (Grizzly bear, Old and Mature Growth forests, and Riparian Areas), their sheer lack of respect and ignorance for the detrimental cumulative and initial effects, of a Project of this capacity, is outstanding. Not only does the Proponent not believe that the Project will cause any significant, residual effects, but they have not yet developed any formal, practical mitigation measures to compensate for any VC, even those that have been identified as regionally valued ...
