MINUTES OF INGLENOOK CCC

The Inglenook Community Consultative Committee met last month to discuss developments with Centennial Coal's exploration of the Running Stream/Mt. Vincent area.

Below are the draft minutes. We note that already there are five new chemicals being used that were not discussed at the meeting. This raises questions about the credibility of Centennial's community consultation process.

An above ground sump system is to be installed instead of the Pit Bull installation for water recirculation employed by Interdrill.  JL asked about the possibility of an open day to come and see the new rig working.  Centennial Inglenook envisages an open day would occur sometime in May with a date to be confirmed.
