In February of 2021 What The Frack Manitoba published a 47-page technical report identifying a number of potential impacts associated with CanWhite Sands unconventional mining method for extracting silica sand from deep within the aquifer that supplies drinking water to those living in southeastern Manitoba.
Here is what Anthony R. Ingraffea, Ph.D. P.E. Dwight C. Baum Professor of Engineering Emeritus Distinguished Member ASCE at Cornell University College of Engineering had to say about our technical report after he reviewed it.
"I have thoroughly reviewed the above-referenced report...I can state at the outset that this report is very professionally written, well documented, and evidences very good knowledge of a wide range of related technical issues including mineralogy, well design, chemistry, and regulations. It is clear and compelling to a technical reader I found no error in any of the calculations embedded in the report, and fully support the hypotheses for both contamination and subsidence tested by Mr. LeNeveu's analyses of available data."
