ERO Submission on Water Sourcing for Alamos Gold Inc., Near Dubreuilville
- NOTO has sent in a submission to the Ministry highlighting concerns. You can read our submission by clicking here.
- After submitting our comments, we received a notification from the Ministry that the original proposal was amended to accurately reflect Alamos Gold Inc.’s intended water taking proposal. Due to these amendments, a new comment period was initiated, which will end March 16, 2026.
- The Ministry also highlighted the following: the water taking details included in the previous public consultation significantly overstated the maximum volumes that Alamos Gold Inc. is proposing to take, and also omitted sources for continued takings under the existing Permit to Take Water (No. P-300-1087434989 Version 2.0). Furthermore, the source names previously listed (e.g. Dog Lake) implied that water will be withdrawn only from individual waterbodies, rather than from various locations within the larger watershed (e.g. Dog Lake Watershed).
- The proposed sites within the Dog Lake, Missinabi River, Magpie and Manitowik Lake watersheds can be viewed in the updated proposal.
