Mining Licence and Permitting Projects

The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation require that any mining require a mining permit or licence. These licencess involve the preparation of a mining and rehabilitation plans map as well as a report extensively detailing the sites current status, and post mining land use. Larger projects often involve the preparation of Environmental Impact Statements. Many clients require assistance in compliance with mining permit conditions. Prominent applications I have completed include:
