Section 2.1 and Is Unchanged for the Purposes of This Assessment
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORT: FUNDY ISLES SUBMARINE CABLES REPLACEMENT PROJECT, NEW BRUNSWICK Assessment of Environmental Effects on Water Resources 8.0 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON WATER RESOURCES The water resources VC has been included as a VC due to its importance as a potable water resource and other human uses. In this assessment, water resources includes both groundwater and surface water available for human use. More than 75% of the population of New Brunswick relies on groundwater as a source of drinking water (Statistics Canada 2010), including all the residents of the Fundy Isles; the remainder of the New Brunswick population relies on surface water supplies for drinking water. Groundwater from drilled or screened wells is used for domestic, commercial, institutional, and industrial purposes. Groundwater is most often preferred over surface water as a source of drinking water because, unlike surface water, it can generally be used with little to no treatment to allow for its safe use as a potable water source. Water resources also interact with other VCs such as aquatic resources and wetlands. 8.1 REGULATORY AND POLICY SETTING The Province of New Brunswick has legislation in place to manage and protect water resources (both surface water and groundwater), including the Clean Water Act and the Clean Environment Act. Specific regulations under these acts that relate to the protection of water resources include the Watershed Protected Area Designation Order—Clean Water Act, the Wellfield Protected Areas Designation Order– Clean Water Act, the Water Well Regulation–Clean Water Act, and the Potable Water Regulation–Clean Water Act.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
