Description:   Concerns expressed by the mining industry over proposed changes to the Northern Inland Waters Act, Fisheries Act and land use regulations were discussed.  The Klondike Placer Miners Association (KPMA) admitted the need for regulation updating, but was concerned that the excessive added costs due to the regulation would make the industry uneconomical.  More restrictive effluent quality standards and new applicability of land use regulations to placer claims and leases are two possible outcomes of the changed legislation.
