Manitoba Parks is distributing the attached information (see below) as an FYI of an upcoming project near your subdivisions on behalf of the Orphaned and Abandoned Mines (OAM) Program in the department of Environment and Climate.
Please see the notification letter in the link below which provides a basic one page overview of the project.
- This project is the completion/ continuation of the project that was started many years ago near the Star Lake Blocks 4,5,6 subdivision.
- Environment and Climate will manage the OAM project, and a contact for concerns or questions is listed on the letter. Manitoba Parks will be working with environment to issue a park permit to the successful contractor once OAM is ready to start the project.
- Details are limited, the project near the Star Lake Blocks 4,5,6 subdivision will go up on Merx at the end of the month/ early April for work later in the year. Parks will pass along information as it becomes available.
Parks expects there to be additional sites identified in the coming months, each one will have a similar handout that we will send out in advance of the project.
Work at the Sunbeam mine site did not happen this fall. This work will be carried out in 2024.
