    January 21, 2015 Mr. James Wilson File: MV2014X0027 President Gwich’in Tribal Council 1-3 Council Crescent Box 1509 INUVIK NT X0E 0T0 Fax: (867) 777-7919 Dear Mr. Wilson: Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) - Department of Finance Mackenzie Valley Fibre Optic Link Project - Land Use Permit MV2014X0027 Thank you for your letter received on January 16, 2015 regarding condition 78 of Land Use Permit (Permit) MV2014X0027. In response, the Board wishes to clarify the purpose of condition 78, which relates to the manual clearing of vegetation. In the Application for the Permit, the GNWT – Department of Finance indicated that vegetation will be cleared utilizing D7 caterpillar dozers or an equivalent, which would be equipped with a low ground pressure undercarriage to cut vegetation above the root mat. Vegetation in steep terrain or in environmentally sensitive areas, such as riparian zones, would be cut by hand. The Board included condition 78 in the LUP to address the removal of vegetation in these environmentally sensitive areas. For other areas that were identified in the Application to be cleared, condition 11, which requires bulldozer blades to be equipped with “mushroom” type shoes or other similar devices, applies. The Board also included additional conditions in the Permit to ensure that impacts to the environment from the use of machinery and equipment are minimized. These conditions can be found throughout the Permit, specifically under 26(1)(c) Type and Size of Equipment and 26(1)(d) Methods and Techniques. Please also note that the use of equipment for clearing land has been screened.
