May 2019 WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Wheeler River Project Provincial Technical Proposal and Federal Project Description Project Summary English – Page ii French – Page x Dene – Page xx Cree – Page xxviii PAGE i WHEELER RIVER PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL & PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary Wheeler River Project The Wheeler River Project (Wheeler or the Project) is a proposed uranium mine and processing plant in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located in a relatively undisturbed area of the boreal forest about 4 km off of Highway 914 and approximately 35 km north-northeast of the Key Lake uranium operation. Wheeler is a joint venture project owned by Denison Mines Corp. (Denison) and JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Ltd. (JCU). Denison owns 90% of Wheeler and is the operator, while JCU owns 10%. Denison is a uranium exploration and development company with interests focused in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan, Canada with a head office in Toronto, Ontario and technical office in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Historically Denison has had over 50 years of uranium mining experience in Saskatchewan, Elliot Lake, Ontario, and in the United States. Today, the company is part owner (22.5%) of the McClean Lake Joint Venture which includes the operating McClean Lake uranium mill in northern Saskatchewan. To advance the Project, Denison is applying an innovative approach to uranium mining in Canada called in situ recovery (ISR). The use of ISR mining at Wheeler means that there will be no need for a large open pit mining operation or multiple shafts to access underground mine workings; no workers will be underground as the ISR process is conducted from surface facilities.

Iverson3 with sidebar by William C. Handel1 1. Illinois Natural History Survey 2. Department of Biology, Illinois State University 3. USDA Forest Service OBJECTIVES What are the major vegetation types that have occurred in Illinois and how have they changed since the last ice age and more specifically since European-Americans settled the region? Ecological factors influencing trends, composition, and diversity in prairie, savanna, open woodland, and forest communities are examined. Historical and contemporary changes will be explored with reference to the proportion and characteristics of habitats remaining in a relatively undegraded condition. While Illinois is a focus for this chapter, the processes and factors explaining vegetational variation have relevance to the entire Midwest and in many cases beyond. INTRODUCTION key step in conserving biodiversity. The following chapter explores the dominant types of native terrestrial vegetation Vegetation change is a major focus of ecological monitoring and changes as they have occurred in Illinois primarily since and research and has both temporal and spatial aspects.

  • The Grand Prairie
    A PUBLICATION OF OPENLANDS VOLUME 26–No. 1, SPRING/SUMMER 2021 The Grand Prairie There are very few written accounts of the Grand Prairie from which Illinois gets its nickname, “The Prairie State,” and even fewer in art. An elusive landscape to most 19 th century artists, prairies lacked the traditional composition elements artists relied on at the time, such as trees to frame the foreground or mountains in the background. The artists moved on to capture the Rockies, Yosemite, and the great American West. In 1820, Illinois had 22 million acres of prairie, roughly two thirds of the state. By 1900, most of Illinois‘ prairies were gone. The movement of four glaciers gave rise to the prairie ecosystems of Illinois. of motivated individuals and nonprofit and governmental organizations, even When early settlers discovered the prairie’s rich soil, they quickly converted a those fragments would be gone. majority of the state to farmland. Through the bounty of nature, Chicago — Philip Juras, Picturing the Prairie: A Vision of Restoration became a great metropolis. By 1978, fewer than 2,300 acres — roughly three and a half square miles—of original prairie remained in the entire state. Goose Lake Prairie is the largest remnant tallgrass prairie east of the Mississippi Of those undisturbed prairie sites, known as remnant prairie, most are along River. Like much of the original prairie in the state, Goose Lake Prairie was sculpted railroad rights-of-way, in pioneer-era cemeteries, and in places that were not by glaciers. The area was part of a continuous grassland that stretched from suitable for farming.

Peabody Champaign, Illinois 61820-6970 Annual report for the 1997-98 fiscal year of the Multi-State Prairie Insect Inventory to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and United States Fish and Wildlife Service Illinois Natural History Survey Technical Report 1998 (19) Prepared by: Chris Dietrich Kathy Methven David Voegtlin Submitted: September 1998 Inventory of Selected Groups of Arthropods of Four Nature Preserves in Mason Co., Illinois. July 1997- June 1998. Introduction Sampling for prairie arthropods for fiscal 1997-98 focused on four nature preserves in Mason Co., Illinois: Long Branch Sand Prairie, Matanzas Prairie, Sand Prairie - Scrub Oak Nature Preserve, and Revis Hill Prairie. Long Branch comprises 93 acres of sand prairie dominated by prickly pear, Opuntia compressa, and the grasses Eragrostistrichodes, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Calamovilfa longifolia, and is typical of the Illinois River Sand Areas. Management has been largely restricted to the cutting of planted pine trees and limited burning. Sampling was conducted in a restored area near the south end that was burned in Spring 1997 and and extensive unburned native prairie at the north end of the preserve. Matanzas Prairie is a high quality wet prairie comprising 27.6 acres and dominated by Calamagrostiscanadensis, Spartina pectinata, and Andropogon gerardii.
