  • Environmental Assessment Certificate Application Section 7: Assessment of Potential Social Effects
    LNG Canada Export Terminal Environmental Assessment Certificate Application Section 7: Assessment of Potential Social Effects 7.4 Marine Transportation and Use 7.4.1 Introduction Marine transportation and use is a VC because Project construction, operation, and decommissioning might conflict with existing marine uses. For example, the expansion of the terminal and the associated increase in shipping traffic could affect marine fisheries, including Aboriginal fisheries, or the ability to pursue recreational activities in the areas along the marine access route. The potential effects of the Project on marine navigation, existing shipping, and human use of the marine environment within the navigable waters along the Project's marine access route (Figure 7.4-1) are assessed. Potential effects on fish and fish habitat and on marine mammals are assessed in Section 5.8, and potential effects on visual quality are assessed in Section 7.3. The potential for Project-related accidents to affect marine transportation and use is discussed in Section 10. 7.4.2 Scope of Assessment 7.4.2.1 Regulatory and Policy Setting Acts and regulations concerning commercial shipping and construction activities in navigable waters include: . Navigation Protection Act . Canada Shipping Act, 2001 . Canadian Ballast Water Control and Management Regulations . Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations, and . Canada Marine Act. The Navigation Protection Act (NPA) protects the public’s right to navigate and regulates the construction of works that might affect this right. The NPA is administered by Transport Canada and applies to scheduled waterways in Canada. Transport Canada will only authorize major works upon satisfactory review of the final design and development plan for the works.

    SPIRIT BEARS UNDER SIEGE THE CASE for the PROTECTION of GRIBBELL ISLAND – Mother Island of the White Bear September 2012 Report to: Valhalla Wilderness Society Box 329 New Denver, BC. VOG 1SO Wayne McCrory, RPBio McCrory Wildlife Services Ltd., 208 Laktin Road, New Denver, BC, Canada V0G 1S1 Ph: 250-358-7796; [email protected] GIS Maps by Baden Cross Applied Conservation GIS, PO Box 356, Heriot Bay, BC, Canada V0P 1H0 Ph: 250-812-4761; [email protected]] 2 Elongated Gribbell Island (middle) sits astride two of BC’s central coast marine shipping lanes, the Inside Passage and Douglas Channel. This small but rugged 20,690 ha island is evolutionarily significant as over 40% of its small isolated population of Kermode bears, a subspecies of the North American black bear, are white. It represents Canada’s Galapagos. Past over hunting and trapping and collection of white hides for museums, clearcut logging, declining salmon runs, climate change and the new threat of a major tanker oil spill if the Enbridge Pipeline is approved threaten this world unique bear gene pool. [Photo by Ian McAllister]. Although the term ‘inexhaustible’ has been applied to the timber resources of this coast, it is very evident that its application is not justifiable. The heavy timber growth is confined to limited areas….the day is not far distant when the large trees will be a feature of a remarkable past…..If once the forest is cut down, reforesting will be a difficult or impossible problem…..since the removal of trees permits the scanty soil to be readily washed from the steeper slopes, thus changing portions of this wonderful landscape into a veritable rock desert….the Government would do well to reserve one or two of the most picturesque fiords as parks, while they are yet in a state of almost primeval grandeur.
