Western Potash Corp. has submitted an environmental impact statement (EIS) to the Ministry of Environment, outlining how the junior mining company plans to minimize the environmental impact of its proposed $2.8-billion, 2.8-milliontonne-per-year potash solution mine, 30 km southeast of Regina.

“That’s the culmination of about 2 1/2 years of work,” said Greg Vogelsang, manager of environment and regulatory affairs for Vancouver-based Western Potash in Regina.

The EIS contains baseline studies describing the existing wildlife, surface water quality, air quality, aquatic life, soil, and vegetation of the project site, and any potential project-environment interactions.

Based on similar recently approved projects, Vogelsang expects the EIS review process will take five to seven months, which could mean environmental approval for the project in the first quarter of 2013.
