This project can be stopped. The Species at Risk Act prohibits damaging any part of critical habitat, redds, or individuals of any listed species without a permit, including the 2 trout species affected here. Canada can issue permits to allow it, but not for the purpose of allowing coal mining. While a counterargument to this view exists, it must be tested in court. Ecojustice needs to take this on.
