Riverwatchers should consider potential sources and causes of observed phenomena. In a river system, causes can come from activities on land (e.g. deforestation, development/construction), areas upstream, and be the result of events that have happened recently (e.g. water releases from dams, heavy rains and wind). 1.

This document represents the culmination of an important and considerable joint effort between Xeneca, regulatory agencies, local residents and public stakeholders and Aboriginal communities. This Draft report is being provided to key regulatory agencies for a thirty day review period which is scheduled to end on October 2, 2012. Xeneca welcomes agency review comments and will incorporate them as best possible into the Final Environmental Report to be issued for the formal thirty day public and agency review as per the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Waterpower Projects. Submission of this Draft report under the Waterpower Class EA represents a significant milestone in our obligations to the Province of Ontario under the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) contract issued to Xeneca for this undertaking. In order to initiate construction, Xeneca is required to successfully satisfy the requirements of the Class EA, and, subsequently, obtain all applicable provincial and federal regulatory permits and approvals, receive approval for final engineering design, obtain plans and specification approval. The terms of Xeneca’s FIT contract (issued in April 2010) require that the facility be constructed and commissioned no later than October 2015. Xeneca has undertaken a multitude of investigations and studies of the project site spanning a three year period, (from 2010 to 2012) including natural habitat studies, archaeological investigations, water quality and fish tissue sampling, geotechnical studies, public and agency consultation, and engagement with Aboriginal communities; the timeline under the FIT contract is nearing the 50% marker.

The Métis of the Ottawa River are a telling case, reflective of the disparities entrenched by the provincial border separating Ontario and Quebec. In chronicling the history of this particular Métis community, primarily through unpublished sources, we demonstrate that there is a shared Métis experience and identity in Canada, but that a contiguous community has been arbitrarily divided by a provincial boundary whereby the community is recognized on one side of the divide but not the other.
