Laird INTRODUCTION In the summer of 1930, a spectacular discovery of native gold on the east shore of Three Duck lakes, Chester township, district of Sudbury, aroused new interest in an area that had seen prospecting in a quiet way at different times over a period of thirty years. This discovery, followed by others on the same lakes, caused an influx of prospectors during the summer of 1931, with the result that about 250 claims were staked along a favourable belt of rocks Key map showing location of the Three Duck Lakes area. Scale, 60 miles to the inch. between Mesomikenda1 lake and Schist lake. Further prospecting has disclosed other gold-bearing quartz veins, located chiefly in the environs of Three Duck lakes and Clam lake. Although the veins thus far uncovered are narrow, they contain in places high values in gold. The area dealt with in this report comprises the townships of Yeo, Chester, Benneweiss, the southern parts of Potier, Neville, St. Louis, and the southwestern part of Groves. It is bounded on the west by the Woman River area,2 and on the east by the Canadian National railway. The principal gold discoveries occur in Chester township, which lies about 13 miles in a straight line southwest of Gogama, on the Canadian National railway, and about 80 miles northwest of Sudbury. 1his lake is more generally known as Beaver lake. The Ojibwayan name, Mesomikenda, is said to have been derived from an island shaped like a beaver house opposite the Mekami river fire ranger's tower. 2See Map 231 A, Woman River sheet, accompanying Mem. 157, Geol. Surv. Can. [1] The area is comparatively easy of access, being conveniently reached in one day from Gogama with a power boat.

  • Appendix F Environmental Features
    Appendix F Environmental Features YELLOW FALLS HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT APPENDIX F Note Prior to the release of the Draft EA, the Project was referred to as the Island Falls Hydroelectric Project. Following release of a draft environmental assessment report for review by First Nations, agencies, and members of the public, numerous comments were received. As a direct result of agency and public consultation, YFP made a decision to relocate the Project two kilometres upstream of Island Falls to Yellow Falls. Accordingly, the Project name has changed to the “Yellow Falls Hydroelectric Project” and the Project nameplate capacity has changed from 20 MW to 16 MW. The following Environmental Features report details existing natural and socioeconomic conditions and was prepared for the Island Falls location. Project relocation has not appreciably altered descriptions of existing natural and socioeconomic conditions. The Yellow Falls Project location has been provided on figures to indicate how the revised location corresponds with existing natural and socioeconomic environmental features.

  • Environmental Report Ivanhoe River
    Environmental Report Ivanhoe River - The Chute Hydroelectric Generating Station Project The Chute Environmental Report July 2011 FOREWORD Xeneca Power Development Inc. (Xeneca) is pleased to provide a copy of the Class EA for the proposed project: The Chute Hydroelectric Generating Station on the Ivanhoe River. This represents the culmination of a considerable joint effort by our scientists and engineers working in co-operation with agencies and stakeholders. The completion of the Class EA is not the end of the environmental review and permitting process. A series of regulatory approvals will be required post EA under various Federal, Provincial and municipal statutes. For example, Xeneca must provide detailed design information to the Ministry of Natural Resources (“MNR”) which would consider approvals under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. The purpose of a Class EA is to ensure that positive and negative impacts of the proposed project are identified, evaluated and considered in the planning and execution stages and to undertake meaningful engagement of all interested stakeholders who may wish to be involved in the project planning and development process. In this context, the environment being considered includes the natural/physical, socio/economic and cultural/human landscape. In order to meet the Milestone Date for Commercial Operation as set out the Feed-In-Tariff (“FIT”) contract requirements, Xeneca would need to commence site preparation in mid-2012, followed by the construction of the facility between 2012 and 2014. This approach allows the Agencies to complete the necessary environmental review required by the conceptual planning period in the Class EA and subsequently focus on detailed design, permitting and approvals.

This minor amendment is a statement of policy update to the original management plan (OMNR 1986). This minor amendment is based on the direction in Ontario's Living Legacy Land Use Strategy (OMNR 1999) to add the Ivanhoe Provincial Park Addition to Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park. The original park management plan and this minor amendment address policies for protection, management and development of all lands and waters that are now regulated as part of Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park (0. Reg. 180105). In combination, the existing park management plan and this minor amendment provide guidance for the protection, management and development of all lands and waters within the new regulated park boundary under the Provincial Parks Act.

    379 Ronka Road Worthington, ON P0M 3H0 (705) 866-1677 [email protected] OntarioRiversAlliance.ca 11 August 2011 Vanesa Enskaitis Public Affairs Liaison Xeneca Power Development Inc. T: 416-590-9362 X 104 E: [email protected] Dear Ms. Enskaitis: Re: Class Environmental Assessment Report for the Proposed Ivanhoe River – The Chute Generating Station The Ontario Rivers Alliance (ORA) is an organization with a focus on healthy river ecosystems throughout the Province, and represents some 30 organizations across Ontario. Therefore, we wish to comment on several points with regard to your Class Environmental Report and its supporting documentation, for the proposed The Chute Generating Station, on the Ivanhoe River. The intent and purpose of the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA), R.S.O. 1990, c, E.18 is “the betterment of the people of the whole or any part of Ontario by providing for the protection, conservation and wise management in Ontario of the environment.” It is the position of the ORA that hydro-electric generation, in the form Xeneca is suggesting at The Chute, will have unacceptable environmental impacts, and does not contribute in any way to “the betterment of the people of the whole or any part of Ontario by providing for the protection, conservation and wise management in Ontario of the environment.” The ER is very lacking in several extremely important areas, and from the information that has been presented, the cumulative effects of this proposal would have a devastating effect on the Ivanhoe River’s entire riverine ecosystem, as well as those bodies of water below it.

  • Perspectives on Sustainable Development in the Moose River Basin
    Perspectives on Sustainable Development in the Moose River Basin RICHARD J. PRESTON, McMaster University FIKRET BERKES, University of Manitoba PETER J. GEORGE, McMaster University INTRODUCTION For several years now, as principal investigators in the Research Program for Technology Assessment in Subarctic Ontario (TASO), we have been identifying and analyzing the environmental, economic and sociocultural determinants of sustainable development in the Cree com­ munities of the Mushkegowuk region of the Hudson and James Bay lowlands. We believe that a combination of traditional land-based activities, increased wage and proprietorial income, and transfer payments will constitute the economic base of viable Cree communities in the future. A number of fundamental concepts have guided TASO's work, two of which we want to discuss in this paper. First, we contrast some conflicting perspectives on the meaning of sustainable development, and second, we advance the notion of cumulative cultural impact assessment (Preston 1994). Specifically, we discuss Cree perspectives on sustainable development versus industrial developers' perspectives on sustainable development, by addressing the question: sustaining what, to develop whatl The answer depends on whose interests are being served. It also depends on what factors are contributing to the actual events of these developments. Environmental, technological, economic, political and cultural factors all cumulatively effect the course of development. Documenting and evaluating the whole context of development is the purpose of cumulative environmental and cultural impact assessment. We are presently attempting to frame a methodology for a more complete and appropriate assessment of industrial developments in the Moose River region. The starting point for an analysis of sustainability and development is the issue of world view, the way in which a culture looks at and orders the world around it.
