JACOS Hangingstone Expansion Project Description Update and Responses to Second Supplemental Information Request Part 2B – Project Update – Environmental Impact Assessment Appendix 9A: Surface Water Quality Baseline Assessment September 2011
9A-1
The Surface Water Quality Baseline Assessment included baseline conditions of water quality in the vicinity of the Expansion Project. Figures 9A-1 to 9A-5 have been updated as a result of an adjusted Expansion Project footprint as described in update to Volume 1. There are no other changes to this section.
