corporation iii Town of Blind River Municipal Waste Management Plan Environmental Assessment: Task 1Report – Description of the Problem/Opportunity 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Town of Blind River is developing a Solid Waste Management Plan to determine the preferred approach to address the Town’s waste management needs. A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Terms of Reference (ToR) was prepared and underwent Agency and public review. Comments received following review of the ToR were incorporated into a final document and submitted for review by the Minister of the Environment. In July of 2008, approval of the ToR was granted for the Town of Blind River Municipal Waste Management Plan EA. The ToR set out the Town’s framework and work plan for addressing the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act including: a description of the proposed undertaking; the alternatives to be considered, characterization of the study area environment; methods of evaluating the alternatives; and, public consultation activities to be carried out. The EA is being carried out in accordance with the approved ToR to meet the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act and will identify the preferred method of addressing decreasing landfill capacity. Although waste diversion activities do not require EA Act approval, they will be considered during the EA Planning Process as an integral component to a waste management plan. 1.1 Background The Blind River municipal landfill has been serving the residents of Blind River and area since the 1970s. The 2 hectare landfill (approved area), located 2 kilometres east of Town on Highway 17, currently accepts disposal of domestic, commercial, and non- hazardous solid industrial wastes, scrap wood and brush, and iron sludge produced by the water treatment plant at Cameco Corporation. These wastes are being received in accordance with Certificate of Approval (C of A)No. A713870, including amendments made since the certificate was issued in November 1980. A Hydrogeological/Engineering Report prepared by Kresin Engineering Corporation (KEC) and submitted to the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on September 20, 2002, estimated the lifespan of the existing landfill site to be 15 years. The latest estimate (October 2008) indicates that approximately 6 years of capacity remain at the current landfill site. Reports prepared on behalf of the municipality also identify the existence of landfill material that had been disposed of outside the area approved in the Certificate of Approval (termed “Fill Beyond Allowable Limits – FBAL”). Should the FBAL be brought into the approved 2 hectare approved disposal area, the current landfill capacity is less than 6 years (potentially significantly less). 2.0 NOTICE OF EA COMMENCEMENT A Notice of Commencement of Environmental Assessment was run by local newspapers on February 11, 2009 to inform the public that the Terms of Reference had been approved and that the environmental assessment would be carried out (a copy is provided kresin engineering corporation 1 Town of Blind River Municipal Waste Management Plan Environmental Assessment: Task 1Report – Description of the Problem/Opportunity in Appendix A). The Notice stated that the Environmental Assessment would include a comparative evaluation to identify the preferred method of addressing decreasing landfill capacity and that consultation

    2011 NORTHEASTERN NATURALIST 18(1):1–6 Confi rmation of Obovaria olivaria, Hickorynut Mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae), in the Mississagi River, Ontario, Canada David T. Zanatta1,* and Daelyn A. Woolnough1 Abstract - A signifi cant and recruiting population of Obovaria olivaria (Hickorynut Mussel) was confi rmed in the Mississagi River, Lake Huron drainage, ON, Canada. This large river unionid mussel is known to use Acipenser fulvescens (Lake Sturgeon) and Scaphirhynchus platorynchus (Shovelnose Sturgeon) as hosts. The Mississagi River is known to have a spawning Lake Sturgeon population. In 9.1 person-hours of snorkel and SCUBA searches, 10 live O. olivaria ranging in length from 36 to 79 mm, including six gravid females, were collected in sandy substrates with water depths from 1.5 to 4 m. Obovaria olivaria in the Mississagi River represent a signifi cant range disjunction from the other extant populations in Canada in the Ottawa and St. Lawrence river drainages. As the conservation status of this rare mussel in Canada is assessed, the geographic genetic population structure and spatial extent among known areas should be studied to under- stand the post-glacial redistribution of the species. Introduction Obovaria olivaria (Rafi nesque) (Hickorynut Mussel), is a deepwater, large river unionid that can be abundant in the Mississippi basin of central North Amer- ica (Parmalee and Bogan 1998, Williams et al. 2008). In contrast, O. olivaria is a rare mussel in the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes watershed of central North America (Clarke 1981, Metcalfe-Smith et al. 2005, NatureServe 2009) and is cur- rently under assessment by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).

Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.

  • The Expansion of Ojibway and French Place ÂŒ Names Into the Lake
    The Expansion of Ojibway and French Place-names into the Lake Superior Region in the Seventeenth Century! ALAN H. HARTLEY DESPITE ITS LOCATION in the remote interior of North Amer- ica, Lake Superior has a written history of almost 350 years. It owes its early exploration and settlement to its position on the ancient trans- continental water-route which extends from the Gulf of S1. Lawrence, through the Ottawa River, Lake Winnipeg and the Saskatchewan River, to the Rocky Mountains. It was the westward expansion of Ojibway-speaking Indians2 and the French, their customers in the fur trade, which made this vast area known to Europe. The early to- ponymy of Lake Superior and its eastern approaches reflects this partnership in its mixture of Ojibway and French names. For the purposes of this study, the westward expansion of the French can be considered to have occurred in three stages. I. 1608-1641, from Samuel de Champlain's establishment of a trading post at Quebec, through Jean Nicolet's explorations around Green Bay in 1634, to the visit of Fathers Jogues and Raymbault to Sault Ste. Marie. Lake Superior lay in unexplored country. II. 1659-1684, from Radisson and Des Groseillers' explorations in western Lake Superior and the Sioux country, to Sieur Dulhut's establishment of posts on Lake Nipigon, Thunder Bay and possibly the headwaters of the St. Croix River in Wisconsin. This was the period during which the Lake Superior basin 1 I am grateful to the following for their constructive reviews of this paper: Alan Rayburn, Secretariat of Geographical Names, Ottawa; William Cowan, Carleton University, Ottawa; Edith Hols, University of Minnesota, Duluth; Donald Lawrence, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

  • Its Name Is a French Translation of "Chengwatana" (Pine Town), Originally an Ojibwe Village Located Just East of Pine City, Along the Snake River
    Its name is a French translation of "Chengwatana" (Pine Town), originally an Ojibwe village located just east of Pine City, along the Snake River. The Ojibwe name for the city is Ne-zhingwaakokaag (on a land-point full of white pines). Chengwatana was an Ojibwa village, located along the lower course of the Snake River, Minnesota. Its name in Ojibwe was Zhingwaadena, a contraction of Zhingwaak-oodena or "White-Pine Town". After statehood of Wisconsin in 1848, the transient village became a permanent village located at the outlet of Cross Lake, on its south eastern shore, at the beginning of the lower course of the Snake River, named Snake River Dam. Elam Greeley, a lumberman whom Greeley is named after, owned the Chengwatana toll dam at the outlet of Cross Lake. On March 1, 1856, with very informal ceremony, the village was officially named as the County Seat of Pine County and the village was renamed Alhambra by Judd, Walker and Company and Daniel G. Robertson; however, this name was not very well accepted. In 1857, Alhambra was renamed as Chengwatana. When the Military Road, also known as "Douglas Highway," was constructed between the modern cities of Hastings, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin to replace the Kettle River Trail that connected the modern cities of Fridley, Minnesota with Moose Lake, Minnesota, the new road was designed to pass through Chengwatana. The village was garrisoned as a frontier military post, 1862-1863. A post office operated in the village until 1873. When the railroad was constructed on the western shore of Cross Lake, a new village, Pine City, was platted — Pine City's name being a loose English translation of Chengwatana.
