Concerns regarding Flag Resources request for work in Rathbun Township. Road construction. Who will ensure the roads and trails will conform to the Crown Land Use Atlas? Who will ensure proper permits are requested for road construction? Who will visit the activities on the ground to ensure compliance? Who will visit the area after operations are complete to ensure there is not a big mess left behind? Who will ensure the Forest Reserve Boundaries are respected around Matagamasi Lake? How will wastewater from the activities be contained? Any new trails and roads must be removed after the work is complete. Cleared areas need to be replanted to the local forest species. Flag Resources has a history of poor stewardship on the land in MacKelcan Township…oil spills, rutting of the soils by movement of heavy machinery, large chains, barrels, and other refuse left behind. I would like to meet with you at the Recorders office in Sudbury to see the application, review maps and proposed activities before this application is approved. I could come in on Tuesday morning or Wednesday afternoon of next week.
