The Environment Ministry expects to decide if Silver Star's new reservoir can proceed or not, in the next six weeks. Technical Officer Mike Edwards says their review will include how much water is available and what the impact will be downstream on other licensees and fish 
habitat. He says the Conservation Service is investigating to see if charges under the province's Water Act are warranted against the resort, for proceeding with the project before getting approval.Edwards says,'What normally happens is the Conservation Office Service conducts their investigation and then the would pass their findings and their report on to Crown Counsel.' In the meantime, Edwards says an order has been issued on the resort which bans it from storing any water in the reservoir. Silver Star officials say they will wait until the application is reviewed before making a comment.
