"In 1990, Cominco Ltd announced the indefinite closure of the\nSullivan Mine, stimulating concerns from the community of\nKimberley, regarding environmental protection and mine reclamation.\nThe B.C. Ministry of Energy Mines and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR)\nestablished a Public Liaison Committee (SPLC) to review the\nSullivan Mine Decommissioning and Closure Plan. This committee,\nopen to participation by all interested parties, was formed to\nprovide local public input to the Reclamation Advisory Committee on\nthe terms and conditions of the Mines Act Reclamation Permit.\nThe East Kootenay Environmental Society, through the\ncommitment of two of its members, has participated very extensively\nin the public review process. Through an open exchange between the\ncommittee's constituent groups and through Cominco's active\nsupport, understanding of diverse needs and concerns was achieved\nwithout wasteful confrontation. The paper describes the success of\nthis process, the evolution of the committee and the unique format\nof the process."@en
