It does not = really affect any water courses and no pollution or tailings ponds. My = only wish is they make the gyprock here instead of shipping our raw = material out only to be bought back in processed goods. I don't believe = we get any royalties from the gypsum either or very very little, only 50 = jobs. It will be a lake when done so not a big environmental disaster = there. A German company bought hundreds of acres in the back of Elderbank for a = gypsum mine, you can see the test hole and land cleared on google earth = (you can see gays river mine too). The German company is waiting for a = current mine to run out elsewhere I heard. There was talk of a railroad = track to be built to Sheet Harbour for shipping, more environment gone. The whole village of Moose River was bought out for a gold mine, even = the memorial park will destroyed. This one worries me as the stream runs = right beside the park and no doubt be in severe jeopardy. The Mine in Gays River was "approved" to dam off the main river and = change it's course dramatically. They plan on routing it into the = tailings pond (was a lake) and diverting it into south branch gays = river. They are not going to gain much as the main river runs right = along side the road but they want to make an underpass so they can = access the other side of the road. I say build an overpass and leave our = river alone. They say that it will be diverted to an old route the river = once took, I say that is bullshit, the main river is much bigger than = the south branch. Our canoe route will be destroyed!!!=20 Welcome to Nova Scotia where our governments are blackmailed for the = sake of a few jobs. Another example of this is our Crown lands being = leased to Northern pulp etc for 100 years with full privilage to = re-lease. I heard our government is not actually allowed to renege on = the lease after the 100years. The pulp mills have the leases in = perpetuity while in existance. They sprayed hundreds of acres in Liscomb = game sanctuary vith herbicides where our endangered mainland moose = reside. Killing off all the hardwood sapplings the moose thrive on, = figure that one out. Our Enviroment Department is a joke, a big fat joke!
