Does this mean there is active water extraction from Muriel Lake? What are these approvals/licenses for? Do you have any information about this? Post a comment and let us hear what you think.
** It has come to my attention that some people are not able to access the website link above. When you click the link you should get a screen that says “authorization/approval viewer” scroll to the bottum of this screen and click “ok to proceed” from here a new page should open that is full of text and has search spaces. Enter “muriel lake” into the “water body source” search. This is how I found these 6 documents. If you are unable to view this site it may be your internet version, popup blocker, firewall settings…
