  • Review of Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment
    Review of Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment October 2017 Prepared for: Manitoba Clean Environment Commission Prepared by: Halket Environmental Consultants Inc. For: O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation OPCN Review of the RCEA ii Executive Summary Halket Environmental Consultants was engaged by O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation to review the Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment for Hydroelectric Developments on the Churchill, Burntwood and Nelson River Systems, conducted by Manitoba and Manitoba Hydro. After reviewing the assessment we were surprised by the lack of suitable scoping and analyses and also the lack of assessment concerning mitigation measures. Therefore, we, O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation (OPCN) wish to comment on the parts of the document that pertain to our traditional territory: Southern Indian Lake (SIL), the Churchill River from Missi Falls to Fidler Lake and the South Bay channel down to Notigi. This territory is represented in the RCEA by Hydraulic Zones 4, 5 and 6, respectively and the South Indian and Baldock terrestrial regions. OPCN were not consulted before the approach to the RCEA was conceived and implemented by Manitoba and Manitoba Hydro. If OPCN had been, the RCEA would be a very different document because it would have addressed the changes that occurred to the environment and community because of the Churchill River Diversion in a much more substantive manner. Best practice for Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA) recommends that analyses of changes are conducted through comparisons of states of the environment at different points in time, referred to as cases. The RCEA fails to establish a pre-development case, an immediate post- development case, a current case and reasonably foreseeable future development cases.
