( Fort Nelson Land and Resource Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In October 1997, the government of British Columbia approved the Fort Nelson Land and i Resource Management Plan (LRMP). This LRMP reflects the full consensus management direction on all aspects of land and resource management within a 98 000 square kilometre area, built through participation by the public, local industry and government resource agencies. This Plan results in no anticipated job losses, stability for all resource-based industries such as tourism, oil and gas, and timber; seven new large protected areas; a planning framework to provide co-operative and co-ordinated planning and management in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area; and an improved outlo~k for recreational activities and wildlife. The Fort Nelson Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) was built over a four year time­ frame by a core group of 30 people. This group consisted of a solid cross section of public participants with local, regional and provincial interests, and agency staff. Members of this group represented a wide range of values including access, agriculture, biodiversity, energy, forestry, guide outfitting, minerals, outdoor recreation and tourism, soil, transportation and utility corridors, trapping, visual quality, water and wildlife. The LRMP group worked with an "open­ door'' policy, using sector based negotiations. Local First Nations expressed an interest in the process, but chose not to participate. This was in part due to concerns that participation may compromise treaty negotiations, in addition to staffing and resource constraints. They were apprised of the LRMP progress through personal contacts, formal communications and the monthly LRMP update packages, which were widely distributed. Although First Nations were not formally represented at the LRMP Working Group, archaeological, cultural and heritage values were strongly endorsed by all the LRMP participants. This LRMP divides a 9.8 million hectare land base into thirty-seven Resource Management Zones (RMZs), which are grouped into four different categories. 1. Enhanced Resource Development - Representing approximately 36% (3,564,900 hectares) of the land base. This category gives direction to manage land for oil and gas, mineral and timber resources, with an emphasis on the recreation and tourism resources along the Alaska Highway corridor. This category is made up of the Resource Management Zones where investments in resource development are encouraged. This category builds on existing legislation and regulations. There are 4 RMZs in this category. 2. General Resource Development - Representing approximately 24% (2,445,000 hectares) of the land base The intent in this category is to manage for a wide array of integrated resource values. In these RMZs resource development will be integrated with the requirements of other i Fort Nelson Land and Resource Management Plan resource values. Developments are subject to all applicable provincial regulations. There are 10 RMZs in this category. Major River Corridors Sub-Category - Identified to highlight the management of the important values within the river corridors such as archaeological, cultural, heritage, recreational, scenic, timber and energy. 3. Muskwa-Kechika Special Management - Representing approximately 29% (2,911,700 f- ( hectares) of the land base. This category gives direction to manage in such a way that resource development can proceed while minimizing impacts on other resource values. The Resource Management Zones within this category contain the most restrictive objectives and strategies for development. There are 16 RMZs in this category. Major River Corridors Sub-Category - Identified to highlight management of all the important values within the river corridors such as archaeological, cultural, heritage, recreational, riparian, wildlife habitat and industrial. 4. Protected Areas - Representing approximately 11% (1,051,000 hectares) of the land base. This category contains the zones that will be designated as protected areas for natural, cultural, heritage and/or recreational values as defined by the Protected Area Strategy for BC. Logging, mining, energy and hydroelectric exploration and development are prohibited in those areas designated under the Park Act. There are 7 Goal 1 and 14 Goal 2 areas identified in this category. All the Goal 1 Protected Areas stand alone within the plan area as functioning units. Additionally, long-term solutions were developed for the tenured oil and gas interests in the Klua Lakes, Maxhamish Lake and Thinatea Protected Areas. • Denetiah (97,200 ha) -This area provides a cross-section of the Rocky Mountain Trench, other special features are Dall and Denetiah lakes, with the intact Denetiah watershed, and the historic Davie Trail. The remote nature of this area enhances its recreation experience. An access corridor will be allowed; the section across the Rocky Mountain Trench is designated in a manner that maintains the opportunity for access. • Kina Lakes (28,600 ha) - Located in the south-eastern portion of the plan area this zone has significant archaeological value with a traditional historic commercial fishery site, a significant native village, native pack trails, an old wagon trail and a spiritual site. The entire area has very high scenic qualities of escarpments/cuesta topography, along with high recreation use. This area provides representation of the Muskwa Plateau Ecosection. Directional drilling for petroleum and natural gas with no surface access will be permitted. • Liard River Corridor (81,900 ha) - Featuring the Grand Canyon of the Liard, ammonite fossils, a bolted steel and wooden oil derrick, Hudson's Bay Trading Post, archaeological sites and significant grizzly bear habitat. The Liard River Corridor is representative of the Hyland Highlands Ecosection and could be considered as a Heritage River candidate. Designation on this area will accommodate an existing pipeline reserve. Any access for utility through this protected area will be subject to the management plan. ii Fort Nelson Land and Resource Management Plan • Maxhamish Lake (27,600 ha) - Featuring a large lake with white sandy beaches this Proposed Protected Area supports significant recreational opportunity in an area rich with waterfowl and fish values. This area also provides representation of the Etsho Plateau Ecosection. Designation on this area will allow for the opportunity in the future for an access route to the lake for recreational purposes. Directional drilling for petroleum and natural gas with no surface access will be permitted. • Northern Rocky Mountains (635,900 ha) - The largest of the Protected Areas this zone rests in the southern portion of the plan area and provides a core for the large intact predator/prey system that exists together with high density and diversity of large mammal species. The zones has some of the highest, most rugged mountains, and is substantially unroaded and undeveloped. This area has high wildlife and recreation value; and is very significant for wilderness and back country recreation experiences. This area provides excellent representation of the Eastern Muskwa Ranges and· Muskwa Foothills ecosections. Within it there are special features such as Sleeping Chief Mountain, Mount Sylvia, Mount Mary Henry, significant wetlands along the Tuchodi River and the historic Bedeaux Trail. The Northern Rocky Mountains is the centre piece protected area - combined with adjacent zones, an area of 772,000 hectares in size will protect significant values. • Thinatea (19,500 ha) - This area provides representation of the Petitot Plain Ecosection. It is a good example of muskeg mixed with some associated upland forest. There is a significant stand of Jackpine in the RMZ; the area is important for habitat values, especially for waterfowl. Directional drilling for petroleum and natural gas resources with no surface access will be permitted, as well as the opportunity to directionally drill for pipeline purposes under the north arm. • Wokkpash (37,500 ha) -

  • TREATY 8: a British Columbian Anomaly
    TREATY 8: A British Columbian Anomaly ARTHUR J. RAY N THE ANNALS OF NATIVE BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1999 undoubtedly will be remembered as the year when, in a swirl of controversy, Ithe provincial legislature passed the Nisga'a Agreement. The media promptly heralded the agreement as the province's first modern Indian treaty. Unmentioned, because it has been largely forgotten, was the fact that the last major "pre-modern" agreement affecting British Columbia -Treaty 8 - had been signed 100 years earlier. This treaty encompasses a sprawling 160,900-square-kilometre area of northeastern British Columbia (Map 1), which is a territory that is nearly twenty times larger than that covered by the Nisga'a Agreement. In addition, Treaty 8 includes the adjoining portions of Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Treaty 8 was negotiated at a time when British Columbia vehemently denied the existence of Aboriginal title or self-governing rights. It therefore raises two central questions. First, why, in 1899, was it ne­ cessary to bring northeastern British Columbia under treaty? Second, given the contemporary Indian policies of the provincial government, how was it possible to do so? The latter question raises two other related issues, both of which resurfaced during negotiations for the modern Nisga'a Agreement. The first concerned how the two levels of government would share the costs of making a treaty. (I will show that attempts to avoid straining federal-provincial relations over this issue in 1899 created troublesome ambiguities in Treaty 8.) The second concerned how much BC territory had to be included within the treaty area.

  • 20. Aboriginal Rights and Interests Effects
    20. ASSESSMENT OF ABORIGINAL AND TREATY RIGHTS AND RELATED INTERESTS 20.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses potential adverse effects on Aboriginal and Treaty rights and related interests which may arise from the Project during construction, operations, decommissioning/reclamation, and post-closure. Underground mining activities have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights by interfering with Aboriginal groups’ ability to engage in practices, customs, and traditions that are integral to their distinctive cultures, and/or by interfering with the exercise of rights expressly recognized in a treaty. Interference with Aboriginal and Treaty rights is generally indirect, resulting from changes to environmental conditions that are necessary for the continued exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The assessment is based on information derived from the Proponent’s engagement with potentially- affected Aboriginal groups, environmental assessments carried out elsewhere in the Application/EIS, and the review of secondary data. Wherever possible, the assessment addresses potential effects on Aboriginal and treaty rights and related interests as understood from the perspective of the Aboriginal groups in question. Baseline reports informing this assessment are appended to the Application/EIS and include: Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Knowledge and Use Desk-Based Research Report (Appendix 17-A) and Saulteau First Nations Knowledge and Use Study for HD Mining Murray River Coal Project (Appendix 17-B). 20.2 REGULATORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK The Crown has a legal duty to consult with and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal interests when it contemplates a conduct that might adversely impact the potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty right. The Crown delegated procedural aspects of this duty, with respect to the Project, to the Proponent through the Section 11 Order and EIS Guidelines.
