  • (De Beers, Or the Proponent) Has Identified a Diamond
    VICTOR DIAMOND PROJECT Comprehensive Study Report 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview and Background De Beers Canada Inc. (De Beers, or the Proponent) has identified a diamond resource, approximately 90 km west of the First Nation community of Attawapiskat, within the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, (Figure 1-1). The resource consists of two kimberlite (diamond bearing ore) pipes, referred to as Victor Main and Victor Southwest. The proposed development is called the Victor Diamond Project. Appendix A is a corporate profile of De Beers, provided by the Proponent. Advanced exploration activities were carried out at the Victor site during 2000 and 2001, during which time approximately 10,000 tonnes of kimberlite were recovered from surface trenching and large diameter drilling, for on-site testing. An 80-person camp was established, along with a sample processing plant, and a winter airstrip to support the program. Desktop (2001), Prefeasibility (2002) and Feasibility (2003) engineering studies have been carried out, indicating to De Beers that the Victor Diamond Project (VDP) is technically feasible and economically viable. The resource is valued at 28.5 Mt, containing an estimated 6.5 million carats of diamonds. De Beers’ current mineral claims in the vicinity of the Victor site are shown on Figure 1-2. The Proponent’s project plan provides for the development of an open pit mine with on-site ore processing. Mining and processing will be carried out at an approximate ore throughput of 2.5 million tonnes/year (2.5 Mt/a), or about 7,000 tonnes/day. Associated project infrastructure linking the Victor site to Attawapiskat include the existing south winter road and a proposed 115 kV transmission line, and possibly a small barge landing area to be constructed in Attawapiskat for use during the project construction phase.

CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

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.

For each facility, the operating regime is provided, listing the benefits, conflicts and Outstanding Information Gaps. Also provided is a target curve for each operating regime to graphically represent the operating plan. These operating plans are legally enforceable under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act (LRIA).

Minimum Discharge: None Fisheries Constraint: None (new) Natural water level regime: N/A Others: Educate the public. Benefits: • This operating regime maintains appropriate Lake Trout habitat and the revised drawdown strategy will reduce the impact to Lake Trout. The existing drawdown limit of of 0.45 m from October to mid February was removed and replaced with a target to limit the drawdown to a minimum elevation 319.62 m. Although the minimum elevation of 319.00 m remains the absolute minimum to be used if necessary, the new drawdown target will generally result in higher water levels drawdown minimum.

N1H 4Y3 Phone: (519) 823-1647 / Fax: (519) 821-0202 URL: www.hcaconsulting.ca Email: [email protected] ii Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide a profile of agriculture in Thunder Bay District and an estimate of the economic impact of agriculture on the wider economy. The study grows out of the need to clearly document and define the role of agriculture in the local economy and plan for the future. The report includes a description of the physical and human resources in the region, an overview of agricultural production in the District, and an estimate of the direct, indirect and induced economic impacts of agriculture in the regional economy. The research in this report relies on data from the Population and Agricultural Census (1996-2006), a survey of agricultural-related businesses in northwestern Ontario, and a focus group with primary producers and other agri-sector stakeholders from Thunder Bay District. The study was completed as part of a larger collaborative partnership between stakeholder groups in Thunder Bay District, Rainy River District, Kenora District and Cochrane District. Separate reports were prepared for each of the four Districts.
