On April 29, 2020 Emergency Amendment No. 1 was issued to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (Agnico Eagle), to allow for the time limited discharge (May 2020-October 2020) of effluent from the Containment Pond 1 into Meliadine Lake through the Meliadine Lake Outfall Diffuser (Monitoring Program Station MEL-14) and the water discharged was not to exceed 3,500 mg/L for the Maximum Average Concentration (MAC) of the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). For more context, the decision of the Nunavut Water Board (NWB) dated April 29, 2020 granting Emergency Amendment No. 1 is attached. Under section 152(2) of the Nunavut Planning and Project Assessment Act, as soon as practicable after undertaking an emergency project Agnico Eagle is required to submit a written report to the Nunavut Planning Commission, Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB), and the Minister describing all of the works or activities that have been undertaken in response to the emergency, and any further works or activities required after the end of that emergency to complete the project. This report is attached.As described in the enclosed report, the emergency activity completed during 2020 in full compliance with the terms of Type A Water Licence 2AM-MEL1631 including Emergency Amendment No. 1 and no further works or activities were required after the end of the emergency to complete the project. The activity took place in conformity with the Keewatin Regional Land Use Plan, and as the activity is now complete, no recommendation from the NIRB to the Minister is required respecting any recommended terms and conditions. Similarly, as the activity is complete it is not necessary for the Minister to impose any terms and conditions on the carrying out of these activities. Accordingly, with the submission of the enclosed report, it is Agnico Eagle’s understanding that its obligations under NuPPAA with respect to Emergency Amendment No. 1 are now complete. It is noted that in August 2020 Agnico Eagle filed an application with the NWB to permanently adjust TDS limits under Type A Water Licence 2AM-MEL1631, in part to avoid the need for future emergency amendments. The public hearing in relation to this application completed in Rankin Inlet on March 31, 2021 and is currently under consideration for final decision making by the NWB. Related project No 11MN034.
