Aménagement Hydroélectrique De La Péribonka PÉRIBONKA HYDROELECTRIC POWER PROJECT CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT COMPREHENSIVE STUDY REPORT PREPARED BY FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA QUEBEC REGION JANUARY 2004 Canada Canadian Environmental Assessment Act Comprehensive Study Report Péribonka Hydroelectric Power Project General information Date: January 2004 Proponent: Hydro-Québec Project Type: Péribonka Hydroelectric Power Project Trigger(s): Fisheries Act, subsection 35(2) Navigable Waters Protection Act, section 5(1) Responsible Authority: Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Study Type: Comprehensive Study Report pursuant to the Comprehensive List Study Regulations Fisheries and Oceans Canada ii January 2004 Quebec Region Canadian Environmental Assessment Act Comprehensive Study Report Péribonka Hydroelectric Power Project Summary Hydro-Québec plans to build a new facility on the Péribonka River including a run-of- river generating station with an estimated installed capacity of 385 MW. The rationale for this hydroelectric power project on the Péribonka River is based on the initiatives of Hydro-Québec's strategic plan for 2002-2006. Among the various options reviewed for the positioning of the structures (4 alternatives), the alternative located at KP 151.8 was determined to be the most economically and technically advantageous solution while also proving to be environmentally and socially acceptable. The project provides for the construction of a dam 80 m high, two dikes and one spillway with a capacity of 4 900 m3/s immediately upstream of the mouth of the Manouane River. These structures would create a reservoir 35 km in length with a surface area of up to 31.62 km2. The proposed generating station would be located between the Chute-des-Passes station and the Chute-du-Diable station, and its management would be linked with that of the Chute- des-Passes station. The level of the reservoir would be maintained close to its maximum level of 244.2 m to optimize hydroelectric production. The generating station would be integrated into the Hydro-Québec transmission network via a 161 kV biternate line approximately 120 km long. The underground generating station would be accessible from the Chute-des-Passes Road via a permanent road, 25.6 km long, whose first segment would follow the imprint of existing forest roads. The project's main impacts would arise from the construction of the reservoir, the encroachment caused by the various facilities as well as changes in hydrological conditions. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has determined that the project would cause fish habitat losses requiring an authorization under subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act (FA), which triggers the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). Several of the structures to be built in navigable waters would also require the issuing of formal approval under the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA), which is also a trigger of the CEAA. Thus, DFO has prepared this report in consultation with the Federal Authorities concerned (Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Health Canada, Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Parks Canada). This report fulfills the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) obligation as a Responsible Authority established under the CEAA, to conduct an assessment of the project’s environmental effects in consultation with other Federal Authorities who have the appropriate expertise. The report presents the assessment of the project's effects on the Valued Environment Components: ichthyofauna and fish habitat; avifauna, wetlands, human health (quality of drinking water and consumption of fishery products), navigation, recreational use, use of resources by non-Aboriginals (fishing), current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginals (trapping, subsistence fishing; and heritage sites). The environmental assessment also includes study of effects caused by potential accidents or malfunctions and the cumulative effects that the project, Fisheries and Oceans Canada iii January 2004 Quebec Region Canadian Environmental Assessment Act Comprehensive Study Report Péribonka Hydroelectric Power Project combined with the existence of other structures or other projects or activities, is likely to have on the environment. Considering the proposed mitigation and compensation measures, and the follow-up program, as well as the proponent’s commitments, DFO has determined that the proposed project, as defined by the scope of the study, is not likely to cause significant negative environmental effects.

In 1923 I observed the Montagnais of Lake St. John and Lake Mistassini at Pointe Bleu, Quebec. In 1924 at the Northwest River I studied the dialect of Davis Inlet from an Indian there, and gained a little knowledge of the dialect of the Northwest River. The American Council of Learned Societies made it possible for me in the summer and early fall of 1935 to do field- work among some of the Algonquian Indians in the vicinity of James and Hudson's Bay. I visited Moose Factory, Rupert's House, Fort George, and the Great Whale River. However, I was able to do a little work on the Albany Cree and Ojibwa owing to their presence at Moose Factory; and I did a few minutes work with an East Main Indian whom I stumbled across at Rupert's House; similarly I worked for a few minutes on the Weenusk dialect as an Indian from there chanced to come to Moosonee at the foot of James Bay. Owing to a grant-in-aid made by the American Coun- cil of Learned Societies it was possible for me to again visit the James and Hudson's Bays region in the spring, summer, and early fall of 1936.

  • Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Lake-Migratory Brook Trout: a Perspective from Pristine Populations
    Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 137:1192–1202, 2008 [Article] Ó Copyright by the American Fisheries Society 2008 DOI: 10.1577/T05-251.1 Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Lake-Migratory Brook Trout: A Perspective from Pristine Populations 1 DYLAN J. FRASER* AND LOUIS BERNATCHEZ Departement de Biologie, Universite´ Laval, Quebec City, Quebec G1K 7P4, Canada Abstract.—Reintroduction or rehabilitation plans for fish populations in many systems (e.g., lakes) are complicated by limited data on ecological and genetic characteristics before human disturbances occurred. While no two lakes have identical physical and biological characteristics, a growing body of empirical evidence nevertheless indicates that parallel patterns of population structuring may evolve within northern temperate fish species. Examining the population structuring in undisturbed lakes of similar physical and biological characteristics may thus provide insight into the probable historical extent and causes of both population structuring and connectivity in human-impacted lakes. Here, we review research on the population structuring and evolution of migratory brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in a relatively undisturbed, postglacial lake (Mistassini Lake, Quebec). We provide information on lake habitat use, the morphology and life history characteristics of populations, diets, lakewide genetic population structure, seasonal migration characteristics between spawning and feeding areas, population evolutionary histories, and the prevalence of lake spawning.
