  • Wataynikaneyap Power
    Issue 1, November 2019 Wataynikaneyap Power The Environmental Assessment (EA) approvals for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Wataynikaneyap Power Project were received in Summer 2019. Since this time, the Project has been following-up with additional technical studies and submitting environmental permits to the appropriate authorities for approval. Most of these permits, including those from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) are in place. The Environmental Team is actively working with identified Aboriginal communities and stakeholders to address Conditions of Approvals (CoA) for these authorizations. A summary of Project activities will be provided to identified Aboriginal communities and government agencies 15-days in advance of any proposed work. This overview will be updated and available on the project website every three months throughout the course of the Project construction. The update will include an outline of Project construction activities that are planned to occur during the following three months, including a list of potential environmental features, considerations and permit applications expected to be submitted. Wataynikaneyap PM and Opiikapawiin Services LP (OSLP) are working together with Aboriginal Communities and qualified contractors to complete several environmental monitoring programs as outlined in the EA. Along with Contractor’s compliance monitoring activities, Wataynikaneyap Power will also conduct audits of Project activities to ensure ongoing compliance with EA and engagement commitments and various other requirements. Results of monitoring activities will be made available through an Annual Compliance Report (ACR) posted to the Wataynikaneyap Environmental Webpage.
