    September 26, 2016 Brent J. Fields, Secretary Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549-1090 Re: Comment on Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants (File No. S7-10-16) Dear Mr. Fields: Researchers at the Columbia Water Center and the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, both based at the Earth Institute at Columbia University, are engaged in a multi-year research project to understand mining-related environmental and water risks and their financial implications. Through this work we have come to conclude that far more environmental risk disclosure is needed in the global mining industry. The industry’s exposure to water–related risks is only set to increase over time. We applaud the SEC’s proposed rule on the modernization of property disclosures, particularly the requirement that each company submit a technical report summary that includes an assessment of environmental compliance for which a qualified person can be held accountable. The mining industry faces increasing water-related risks. More frequent incidents of drought, leading to water scarcity, and flooding, leading to operation shutdowns, are the predicted results of climate change in many mining regions around the world. Water demands are increasing as miners turn to processing poorer grades of ore. Many countries where large mining operations take place are strengthening their environmental legislation and implementing stricter enforcement of environmental permits. Greater attention is being paid to the potential negative impacts on the communities that rely on the same water sources used and polluted by mining operations. Investors have a clear interest in understanding a mine’s exposure to water risk and the reporting on this topic has thus far been insufficient.

Megdal, Susanna Eden and Anna Scolobig Received: 3 March 2016; Accepted: 20 June 2016; Published: 30 June 2016 Abstract: This article reports the results of a one-day participatory workshop in Koraro, Ethiopia conducted prior to major development interventions in the region. The methodology of the workshop, structured to generate data useful for understanding the physical and social systems integral to water resources planning, provides a framework for future water need explorations in similar settings in Ethiopia and elsewhere. The use of only improved water sources as a metric for access to water under-represents the situation in Koraro, as many rely on streambeds for water due to the perceived cleanliness and low salinity of this unimproved water source. The reliance on metrics common in the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, such as a minimum distance to a water source and the categorization of potable water based on type of water source, using varying figures (from as many as 30 to as few as four) can lead to assessments regarding the amount of additional sources necessary to allow access to specific locales, that are not consistent with actual need.

March 22, 2017 Water is arguably the most important natural resource, in areas seriously affected by shortages, predicting that essential both for human survival and for the effective it will rise to 4 billion by 2050, accompanied by a 50% functioning of many industries. As climate variability increase in the demand on water resources. impacts the availability of freshwater, and economic While individuals, governments and other consumer and growth puts pressure on global water supplies, households policy organisations are all instrumental to preserving this as well as industrial, energy and agriculture sectors are precious commodity, the energy industry in particular can increasingly likely to experience supply disruptions in the near and long term. have a positive impact on alleviating water shortages. Oil and gas companies, as well as power and water utilities, are The data point to some clear challenges.
