ENVIRONMENT
In December 2008,
Bending Lake Iron Group announced DST Consulting Engineers Inc. the
successful environmental firm to conduct baseline environmental studies and
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Bending Lake Iron Ore Project
located north of Atikokan, Ontario. The Project is expected to have
significant positive economic impact on the regional and provincial
economies with the creation of over 200 mine operations phase jobs.
Permitting of mining projects requires an understanding of today’s economic
and environmental concerns within the context of sustainability. In support
of the Project, DST brings a team forward with extensive recent experience
navigating the various regulatory requirements of large-scale projects. DST
has over 30 years of experience conducting environmental studies in the
Thunder Bay region. With an office of 50 staff located in Thunder Bay, DST
will have a high degree of schedule, cost and quality control on the
project.
