RE:RE:YTG thinks Eagle can restart - the rub - under new owner.jbrown,

In the case of Mt Polly I beleive 3 engineers were involved in the post collapse investigation.  The dam was also built on clay 10m below the surface.  I seem to remember that the 3rd party employeers had some doing and it was commented on in the assignment of duties to a new(ish) engineer for inspections but if the Yukon is like BC then...

"it was the responsibility of Mount Polley Mining Corporation to maintain a safe structure, irrespective of the Mine’s reliance on external geotechnical engineering expertise. Mount Polley Mining Corpora-
tion did not meet this responsibility.

13 delegation of engineering tasks to a contractor with the skills, knowledge, and abilities to performa required task — even when the contractor is licensed and regulated as a professional engineer by
APEGBC — does not release the Permittee from this responsibility. The responsibility resides with the mine; it cannot be delegated."

So your right at the end of the day the JM and co. were "responsible" while the actuals go off with the possiblity to create another HLP.

Maybe the best that will come out of this is remediation training for the Engineers.

Will VG have and independent review at  least Mt Polly had an Independent Expert Engineering Investigation and Review Panel report.
