Sandy Pond fish to be relocated soon

For the disposal of tailings from its Long Harbour hydromet nickel processing plant, won't have any effect on the company moving ahead with its compensation plan because the lawsuit is between the alliance and the federal government.

Carter said work is proceeding to access the area, a trail has been cut, but a road has yet to be built. The actual timing of when the fish will be moved will be up to the site managers.

Owen Myers, lawyer for the Alliance, said he's heard rumours that the company may be moving fish soon and, if they have ministerial approval, they can "roll ahead any time."

He said the alliance has discussed this and it's not in a position to seek an injunction to stop the relocation of fish because it's spending all its resources on challenging the legislation that permits the project.

The alliance launched its court challenge last year against metal mining effluent regulations created through a Canada's Fisheries Act amendment. The alliance maintains the regulations are contrary to the intent of the Fisheries Act because they permit the destruction of freshwater fish habitat and unique biodiversity.

Myers said the alliance had to make a decision a long time ago about whether to file injunctions, and had to accept, in challenging the regulations for the sake of all ponds, rivers and lakes across the country, that the court challenge might not be heard in time to stop the Long Harbour project.

He said the company has an army of lawyers and unlimited resources and doesn't care if it spends $20 million.

"It means nothing to them."

If the alliance unwisely spends the little bit of funding it has and what it can raise, nothing will be achieved, Myers said.

"You can get this short-term advantage and a bit of publicity, but after that you'll just roll over to the side of the legal road, out of fuel."

Documents prepared by the company's lawyers for the case are about three-feet high, Myers said, whereas the alliance has just one lawyer and an affidavit of about 20 pages from John Gibson, a former Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) scientist.

At a recent federal court hearing, Myers said the company's lawyers wouldn't agree to anything and are even challenging Gibson's affidavit as being based on hearsay, yet one of their witnesses claims he was told by residents that smelt were first introduced into .

The two sides are expected back in court in September and Myers said he's hoping they can set timelines for the actual court case.
