  • Review of Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment
    Review of Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment October 2017 Prepared for: Manitoba Clean Environment Commission Prepared by: Halket Environmental Consultants Inc. For: O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation OPCN Review of the RCEA ii Executive Summary Halket Environmental Consultants was engaged by O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation to review the Regional Cumulative Effects Assessment for Hydroelectric Developments on the Churchill, Burntwood and Nelson River Systems, conducted by Manitoba and Manitoba Hydro. After reviewing the assessment we were surprised by the lack of suitable scoping and analyses and also the lack of assessment concerning mitigation measures. Therefore, we, O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation (OPCN) wish to comment on the parts of the document that pertain to our traditional territory: Southern Indian Lake (SIL), the Churchill River from Missi Falls to Fidler Lake and the South Bay channel down to Notigi. This territory is represented in the RCEA by Hydraulic Zones 4, 5 and 6, respectively and the South Indian and Baldock terrestrial regions. OPCN were not consulted before the approach to the RCEA was conceived and implemented by Manitoba and Manitoba Hydro. If OPCN had been, the RCEA would be a very different document because it would have addressed the changes that occurred to the environment and community because of the Churchill River Diversion in a much more substantive manner. Best practice for Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA) recommends that analyses of changes are conducted through comparisons of states of the environment at different points in time, referred to as cases. The RCEA fails to establish a pre-development case, an immediate post- development case, a current case and reasonably foreseeable future development cases.

  • Large-Scale Impacts of Hydroelectric Development
    27 Large-scale impacts of hydroelectric development D.M. Rosenberg,1 F. Berkes, R.A. Bodaly, R.E. Hecky, C.A. Kelly, and J.W.M. Rudd Abstract: The substantial size of some hydroelectric projects and the extensive total surface area covered by reservoirs globally require that research determining the impacts of these developments be done at ever-increasing spatial and temporal scales. As a consequence of this research, new views are emerging about the spatial extent and longevity of the environmental and social impacts of such developments. New findings challenge the notion of hydroelectric development as a benign alternative to other forms of power generation. This review examines the intertwined environmental and social effects of methylmercury bioaccumulation in the food web, emission of greenhouse gases from reservoirs, downstream effects of altered flows, and impacts on biodiversity, each of which operates at its own unique spatial and temporal scales. Methylmercury bioaccumulation occurs at the smallest spatial and temporal scales of the four impacts reviewed, whereas downstream effects usually occur at the largest scales. Greenhouse gas emissions, the newest surprise connected with large-scale hydroelectric development, are relatively short term but eventually may have important global-scale consequences. Limitation of biodiversity by hydroelectric development usually occurs at intermediate spatial and temporal scales. Knowledge developed from working at expanded spatial and temporal scales should be an important part of future decision making for large-scale hydroelectric development. Key words: hydroelectric development, large-scale, environmental impacts, social impacts. Résumé : La dimension considérable de certains projets hydroélectriques et les vastes surfaces totales globalement couvertes par les réservoirs nécessitent que la recherche menée pour déterminer les impacts de ces développements soit conduite à des échelles d’espace et de temps de plus en plus grandes.

    Failed Partnership to Future Partnership: An Examination of Social Impacts Moving from Institutional Failure to Partner with Indigenous Communities to a New Model of Partnership A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © November 2018 Erin Yaremko 0 Acknowledgement of Treaty Territory and Positionality I acknowledge that I reside and work on treaty 1 and treaty 5 territory, the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibway), Muskeko-ininiwak (Cree), Dakota and Nakota peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation. As a settler descendant I acknowledge the continuation of modern colonial barriers First Nations continue to face, and am consciously aware of the white privilege I carry. I commit myself to building reciprocal partnerships and alliances to further the growth of the Indigenous perspective in historical source. I come to this research and work with anticolonial, anti-racist world views and commit myself to furthering my own personal growth and understanding of Indigenous methodology and world views through continual alliance with each Nation I am fortunate to partner with. My early upbringing through inner city volunteer positions and further work in areas of social justice facilitated the growth of my passion for social justice-based research and work in partnership with other cultural groups. Past work in partnership with the Japanese Canadian based project Landscapes of Injustice helped foster my understanding of large social justice- based research projects. Work in partnership with the Japanese Manitoban and Japanese Saskatchewan communities furthered my understanding of colonization in Canada and the trauma caused by western society.

Dedicated professional staff located in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Kenai Fish and Wildlife Offices and the Anchorage Conservation Genetics Laboratory serve as the core of the Program’s fisheries management study efforts. Administrative and technical support is provided by staff in the Anchorage Regional Office. Our program works closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other partners to conserve and restore Alaska’s fish populations and aquatic habitats. Our fisheries studies occur throughout the 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska as well as off- Refuges to address issues of interjurisdictional fisheries and aquatic habitat conservation. Additional information about the Fisheries Program and work conducted by our field offices can be obtained at: http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/index.htm The Alaska Region Fisheries Program reports its study findings through the Alaska Fisheries Data Series (AFDS) or in recognized peer-reviewed journals. The AFDS was established to provide timely dissemination of data to fishery managers and other technically oriented professionals, for inclusion in agency databases, and to archive detailed study designs and results for the benefit of future investigations. Publication in the AFDS does not preclude further reporting of study results through recognized peer-reviewed journals.

When reservoirs are created, bacterial decomposition of flooded organic material causes a small amount of the inorganic mercury sequestered in these soils to be converted into organic or methylmercury (MeHg). Methylmercury is easily absorbed by aquatic organisms that feed in sediments and becomes accumulated and concentrated at progressively higher concentrations moving up the aquatic food web.
