Conclusions
Information, analysis and presentation of material in DEIS is generally acceptable
However, some aspects of the project require further assessment/validation
Key concerns relate to aspects such as surface water quality and quantity, marine water quality, tailings and waste rock management, closure planning and socio-economics
INAC has requested that additional information and assessment be provided
TMAC has made commitments to provide additional information in the Final Environmental Impact Statement
INAC will look at this information in the next phase of the review process
