- Honouring the Recommendations of the Joint Review Panel derived after technical #consultation and due democratic process. The Grassy #Mountain #coal project is not in the #public interest.

- Protecting the Eastern Slopes from industrial pressure, and preserve and restore the region as a clean and reliable source of #water for the region.

SAGE suggests:

- Maintaining the moratorium on new #coal projects until the Coal Industry Modernization Initiative (CIMI) has been approved by the legislature and has had the benefit of robust public #consultation and parliamentary #debate.

- Abiding by the Coal Mining Effluent Regulations under the federal #Fisheries Act, once legislated.

Albertans continue to wait for the decisions: on the remaining litigation for the uncertainty created by the Government of #Alberta due to the lack of #consultation; on the new #coal policy; and on the approval process for Northback’s Grassy Mountain project.

The Grassy Mountain project, given the assessment of the Joint Review Panel, remains ‘not in the public interest.’ The reasons are simple: coal #mines produce waste from which #pollutants leach into surface and #groundwater.
