PART 2: The Proposed Amendment

2.1 Description of the Amendment

Provide a detailed description of the amendment and name the specific planning documents to which the amendment applies.

This minor amendment proposes to update and clarify 74 Crown Land Use Policy Atlas (CLUPA) policy reports associated with the Temagami Land Use Plan (TLUP). The intent of this proposed amendment is to: keep the land use plan current and relevant to reflect changes in provincial direction, MNR policies, and local circumstances; provide clarification of existing land use direction; and to ensure that the intent of the management areas of the TLUP are accurately represented and are easily accessible to the public through the CLUPA.

With this minor amendment, 29 General Use Areas (GUAs) in the CLUPA are being proposed for re- designation. These Special Management Areas (SMAs) in the TLUP, currently designated as GUAs in the CLUPA, are being proposed for re-designation as Enhanced Management Areas (EMAs). Specifically, the following are being proposed for re-designation:

- Matabitchuan River (G3b to E331n) - South Temiskaming (G1989 to E332r) - Hartle Lake (G2006 to E333r) - Rabbit Lake / Cassels Lake (G2008 to E334r) - Lorrain Lake (G1959 to E335r) - Lorrain Highlands (G1961 to E336r) - White Bear Forest (G1966 to E337n) - Boyce Lake (G1967 to E338r) - Wasaksina Lake (G1972 to E339r) - Wendigo Lake (G1976 to E340r) - Kittson Lake (G1978 E341r) - Lundy Lake (G1980 to E342r) - Indian Bay South (G31a to 343n) - Eagle Lake (G1985 to E344r) - Kokoko Lake (G1987 to E345r) - Cross Lake (G1957 to E 346r) - Lake Temagami (G1988 to E347r) - East Gull (G1990 to E348r) - Leroche (G1992 to E349r) - Mosquito Lake (G1994 to E350r) - Obabika Lake (G1995 to E351r) - Fry Lake (G1997 to E352r) - Yorston River / Selkirk Creek (G1998 to E353r) - Lahay Lake (G2002 to E354r) - Landers Lake (G2003 to E355r) - Upper Stull Creek / Lady Dufferin Lake (G 1860 to E1779r) - North Lady Evelyn River Headwaters (G1865 to E1780r) - Makobe Lake Headwaters (G1866 to E1781r) - Makobe River West (G1861 to E1782r)

With regards to updates to the TLUP, a one-page insert will be added at the beginning of the plan to provide clarification on the new review requirements as per the Guide for Crown Land Use Planning (2011) and the most current legislation/policies. The one-page insert will also advise individuals to refer to the CLUPA for the most current and up-to-date policy information for the management areas.

2.3 Need for Amendment and Analysis

Provide a summary of why the amendment is being proposed (i.e. need and purpose).

If this amendment is part of another planning process or if the amendment will be reflecting a decision that has already been made through another process with public consultation, describe these other processes.

The amendment is required to reflect decisions made after the development of the TLUP. Decisions resulted from the preparation of: Resource Management Plan for Conservation Reserves (CR44, CR32, CR52, C1608, CR53, CR50, CR55, CR33); Statement of Conservation Interest for Conservation Reserves (CR3a,CR4a, CR5, CR9, CR15, CR17, CR31b, CR40a, CR40b); Park Management Statement for P1920; Park Management Plans (P1916, P1839, P1917, P173e, P1918, P1921); and the Crown Land Recreation Plan Temagami Integrated Planning.

Provide an assessment of the proposed amendment, including:

• Anticipated public reaction

• Potential significant social, economic or environmental impacts • Magnitude and significance of proposed changes to land use designations and boundaries • Significance of changes to permitted uses policy

The Temagami Land Use Plan (TLUP) is working well; however, this amendment is required to correct inaccuracies in the Crown Land Use Policy Reports associated with the TLUP. Re-designations are required to ensure the intent of the TLUP is accurately reflected in the CLUPA and to categorize management areas consistently throughout the province. Public reaction to this amendment is expected to be mixed. The amendment does not propose changes to land use intent; however, the proposed re- designations may be perceived by some as providing higher levels of protection. The re-designations are simply a name change and will not affect permitted uses within the management areas.

The public may react to a scoped review being completed rather than a full plan review. As per the Guide to Crown Land Use Planning (2011), a scoped review was completed as the plan continues to meet its obectives and intent.

PART 3: Screening and Consultation

3. Screening of Amendment

Screening is done to confirm: a) the classification of the amendment and b) the proposed action.

3.1 Classification of Amendment

Choose appropriate drop-down:

Minor

Provide a rationale for the classification:

The proposed amendment is administrative in nature as there are no changes to land use intent; the changes are primarily to clarify, correct, and update the content of the CLUPA policy reports. This amendment is classified as a minor amendment to accommodate the potential desire by the public for consultation. A posting on the Environmental Bill of Rights with a 45-day comment period and a provincial mail-out will be undertaken.

Note: If classification is administrative, proceed immediately to Part 4 of this form, i.e., screening approvals not required.

3.2 Amendment Action

Check one of the following:

Proceed immediately. Detailed consideration is warranted.

Defer subsequent consideration. Consideration is warranted but is not urgent and/or is not timely.

Do not proceed with amendment. Proposed amendment would be more appropriately dealt with as part of another process.

Do not proceed with amendment. Amendment is unnecessary, inappropriate or frivolous.

Return amendment request to initiating MNR office or external party for possible re-submission. Amendment request documentation is incomplete.

Provide a rationale for the action and any specific action and consultation requirements:

Proceeding immediately with the amendment will allow for the required clarification, corrections, and updates to be completed to both the CLUPA policy reports and within the land use plan. It will also fulfill the commitment for a scheduled review set-out in the TLUP.
