This evening was regular meeting of the Porcupine Watchful Eye people. This group has been meeting for a number of years, I think I have been a regular for the last couple of years.
Goldcorp is in the postition to work with the
City of Timmins and private land owners to capture tailings that have a problem for the last couple of years. It is an interesting project and some of the walking trails will have to be relocated for the short term.

In the picture Kees poses for the before picture. In the background a drainage ditch will be constructed to improve water quality.
Tree planting I expect will be the final phase to the rehabilitation.

The tour last evening was absolutely excellent. It is very heartening to see good corporate citizens like Goldcorp, working in cooperation with the MRCA and other groups to rehabilitate an old tailings site which is leaching out beyond the tailings dam and at one point into the town creek.
