Lhoosk’uz Dene Nation (July 2013), Saik’uz First Nation (January 2013 and May 2013) and Skin Tyee representatives (January 2013). Information from these interviews and secondary research with Aboriginal Groups regarding plant harvesting (Section 14.2.4.1 of the Application), resulted in selection of berry-producing plants to represent traditional use plants (including medicinal plants) in the assessment. The VC Ecosystem Composition will be revised to include a new indicator titled “traditional use plant habitat”. This VC will assess effects to plant habitat. The results of this assessment will be used to describe effects to Aboriginal Groups’ use of medicinal and food plants under a new VC named “Current Land and Resource Use for Traditional Purposes”. This new VC will be included in Section 7.2.7 of the dAIR and the Application. Traditional use plant habitat information will be derived from baseline plot data that includes plant species presence and abundance. Plant species that are berry-producing and occur within the project area will be selected and correlated to site series. Using the ecosystem map, potential berry- producing areas will be identified. Primary traditional land use information will inform this assessment, where available. Section 5.4.5 Ecosystem Composition will now assess effects to traditional use plant habitat while Section 15 (Aboriginal Rights) will present an assessment of effects on the Aboriginal Rights related to traditional use plant harvesting.

It was also noted that potential effects on wildlife and wildlife habitat will be covered through the assessment of potential effects on representative VCs and their indicators: Section 5.4.7 (Amphibian Valued Components), Sections 5.4.8 and 5.4.9 (Bird Valued Components), Sections 5.4.10 to 5.4.14 (Mammal Valued Components), and Section 5.4.15 (Invertebrate Valued Components). During the meeting, it was explained that it is not practical to include all species present in the LSA as indicators of potential Project effects on wildlife. Further detail related to how valued components were selected can be found in the updated dAIR companion document, which will be provided with version G of the dAIR. 5.

It was also noted that Project energy supply will be described in Section 2.2 of the Application. The transmission line will connect the mine site an existing BC Hydro substation located in Endako. The transmission line will be one of the first project components that will be built, and construction will take approximately 12 months. During the construction of the transmission line, construction activities at the mine site will be powered by diesel generators. This information is also presented in Section 2.2.4 Off-site Infrastructure of the dAIR. Access to the mine site will be through a new access road approximately 15 km long that will connect to the existing Kluskus- Ootsa FSR.

It was also noted that Section 12.2 of the dAIR identifies the Environmental Management Plans that will be presented in the Application. The Environmental Management Plans include topics on hazardous materials management, water quality and liquid discharges management, and industrial and domestic waste management. Industrial and domestic waste will be deposited at a landfill or incinerated at a location within the mine site. Hazardous waste will be shipped off site for final disposal at an appropriate facility.

  • Negotiations Towards Settlement and Reconciliation
    INFORMATION SHEET: Negotiations towards Settlement and Reconciliation Introduction The Province of British Columbia (B.C.) and the Cheslatta Carrier Nation (Cheslatta) are negotiating two agreements to address long standing injustices related to the Kenney Dam and Nechako Reservoir. These agreements will support Cheslatta’s social and economic well-being and cultural revitalization, and advance reconciliation consistent with B.C.’s commitment to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Kenney Dam & Nechako Reservoir Located in northwest B.C., the Nechako Reservoir was formed in the early 1950s by construction of the Kenney Dam and nine smaller dams in order to generate power for Alcan’s (now Rio Tinto Alcan’s) aluminum smelter in Kitimat. To create the reservoir, approximately 485 square kilometres of land was flooded or damaged by flooding. The Nechako Reservoir covers 910 square kilometres and spans a distance of 230 kilometres. Proposed Agreements B.C. and Cheslatta are negotiating a Settlement Agreement and an Interim Reconciliation Agreement. The proposed Settlement Agreement would provide land and financial compensation to Cheslatta for impacts from the creation and ongoing operation of the Nechako Reservoir. The proposed Interim Reconciliation Agreement would strengthen the collaborative government-to-government relationship between B.C. and Cheslatta. Progress to Date Negotiations between B.C. and Cheslatta began in May 2016. A Framework Agreement designed to guide the negotiations was signed and celebrated on the shores of Cheslatta Lake in September 2016. Using benefits provided under the Framework Agreement, Cheslatta has created education and training opportunities for their members, and launched a Cheslatta-owned guide outfitter business and fish guiding operation within the territory.
