Re: Terms of Reference for an Environmental Assessment of Peat Resources Ltd.'s proposal to extract and process peat from two locations near Upsala, Ontario
Dear Sir/Madam:
Draft terms were submitted to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) by Peat Resources Limited (PRL) on May 1, 2006. The Terms of Reference (ToR) are available for comment during the period June 16, 2006 to July 16, 2006.
In our opinion, the newspaper advertisement does not meet the Ministry's requirements for the solicitation of public input on the draft Terms of Reference. It does not clearly request public comment, nor does it provide direction on how to submit those comments. The public is only asked to contact the consultant in the event that they have questions and/or wish to be on a contact list.
