Bulletin summary

We have received a notice of material change for Ojibway Mine that will result in K+S Windsor Salt Ltd. submitting a closure plan amendment.

Why consultation isn't required

This bulletin is for information only, as a closure plan amendment is not an instrument under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993. The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry is posting this bulletin to the Environmental Registry to keep the public informed of changes to mining projects in Ontario. If you wish to comment on this Closure Plan Amendment, please use the contact information for Rebecca Van Kempen below.

Bulletin details

  • administrative change – change of ownership: on April 16, 2021, proponent completed an internal reorganization in which proponent’s entire Windsor salt business was transferred to a new entity named Windsor Salt Ltd./ Sel Windsor Ltee (“NewCo”). Then, on April 30, 2021, SCIH Salt Holdings Inc. acquired NewCo from K+S Aktiengesellschaft
  • updates to shaft caps, site (above and below ground) infrastructure, storm water management, surface and groundwater monitoring at closure, and progressive rehabilitation updates.
