Penobsquis Denied Data, Hearing Resumes [Canada]
The Concerned Citizens of Penobsquis resume their Hearing with the Mining Commissioner today in the absence of monitoring data they requested through the Right to Information Act. The group was denied by the provincial government due to a contractual agreement between PotashCorp and the Department of Natural Resources. Today, 26 residents of the community of Penobsquis begin trying to prove that PotashCorp is responsible for the loss of 60 water wells; land subsidence (the sinking of land) that is now affecting their homes; dust, noise and light pollution; loss property values and the stress and grief they endure every day. They will have to do this without data that PotashCorp has collected over the course of the lifetime of the Penobsquis Potash Mine.
