ABSTRACT STABLE ISOTOPE STUDY OF RIVERINE BENTHIC FOOD WEBS iNFLüENCED BY ANTHROPOGEMC DEVELOPMENTS Andrea Joan Catherine Farwell Advisors: University of Guelph, 2000 KR.Solomon and KR.Munkittrick Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were used to assess the potential impacts of hydroelectric development and pulp miIl activity on benthic food web interactions in the tributaries of the Moose River Drainage Basin in Northeastem Ontario. Secondly, the appiicability of stable carbon isotopes as a tool to indicate exposure to pulp mil1 effluent in wild white sucker (Catostomus commerso~~i)located downstrearn of hydroelectric facilities and pulp miIl emuent discharges was assessed. Stable isotope analysis (SIA) of the benthivorous white sucker From an undeveloped tnbutary (Missinaibi River) showed no significant spatial or temporal variability in the 6'3~(mean 2 SE (n) = -29.3 960 f 0.2 (47)) and 6"~values (mean It SE (n) = 8.3 %O f O. 1 (47)) of muscle tissue. The range of 613c (-3 1.4 to -26.5 960) and 6lb (6.3 to 9.4) were used as an indicator of normal fluctuation in the isotopic composition of white sucker in an undeveloped river in the Moose River Basin. Stable isotope analysis of white sucker muscle fiom a regulated river (Groundhog River) were found to be "C and 1% depleted upstream of hydroelectric development. Downstrearn, there were indications (fiom pre-impoundment and post-impoundment liver comparisons) of 13c depletion and 15N e~chmentof white sucker tissues associated with this recent hydroeiectric development (commissioned in fall of 199 1 ). Isotopic trends of white sucker established for the Missinaibi and Groundhog Rivers were used as a reference to detennine changes in benthic food web interactions associated with histoncal log drives and pulp mill effluent discharges on regulated nvers (Mattagarni and Kapuskasing Rivers). Bark and wood accumulations from historical log drives did not appear to infiuence benthic food web dynamics. ')c depleted particulate organic material fiom upstream of the dam combined with "C enriched particulate organic material from pulp mil1 eWuent discharges resulted in the cornbineci 13c values detected in white sucker. The ability to dicerentiate the 613c of white sucker exposed to pulp mill effluent versus the 6"~of white sucker fiom non-impacted sites may be dependent on several factors, including the sire of the reservoir, water discharge, efiluent composition and discharge, and fish mobility. S"N of white sucker did not appear to be infiuenced by pulp mil1 activities. The implications of this study of benthic invertebrates and benthivorous fish fiom the tributaries of the Moose River were discussed with regard to the use of stable isotopes to define fish exposure to pulp mil1 effluent, and to detine suitable reference sites for assessing the impacts of anthropogenic developments on wild fish populations. The thesis is organized as a series of papers (Chapter 2-5) that will be subtnitted for publication. Chapter 1 provides the general introduction and Chapter 6 provides the thesis conclusions. References to Chapters 1-6 are presented in Chapter 7 (References).

  • 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.

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.

    Northern Claybelt Forest Complex Conservation Reserve Statement of Conservation Interest January, 2005 Ministry of Natural Resources Ministere des Richesse naturelles Northern Claybelt Forest Complex Conservation Reserve Statement of Conservation Interest Hearst District Ministry of Natural Resources APPROVAL STATEMENT I am pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest for the Northern Claybelt Forest Complex Conservation Reserve. The Northern Claybelt Forest Complex Conservation Reserve was created to protect a large complex of land and water ecosystems that are characteristic of the Northern Claybelt Forest. Its combined size, location, within the claybelt and diversity of natural features make an important contribution toward the conservation of northeastern Ontario’s biological diversity. Regulated in March 2004, the Northern Claybelt Forest Complex Conservation Reserve is the second largest conservation reserve brought forward in the Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy in the Northeast Region (OMNR 1999). It is located 40km northwest of Timmins and 60 kilometres south of Kapuskasing straddling the Groundhog River Waterway Provincial Park and the Nat River. Hicks Oke Bog Provincial Nature Reserve forms a portion of the site’s northern boundary. Direction for establishing, planning and managing conservation reserves is defined under the Public Lands Act, the Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy , and other applicable policies. The specific direction for managing this conservation reserve is in the form of a basic SCI, which defines the area to which the plan applies, provides the purpose for which the conservation reserve has been proposed, and outlines the Ministry of Natural Resources’ management intent for the protected area. It will provide both the foundation for continued monitoring of activities and guidance for managing the conservation reserve.
