  • 6 Existing Environmental Conditions
    Webequie Supply Road Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference 6 Existing Environmental Conditions This section describes the existing environmental conditions in the project area (refer to Figure 1.1) and the proposed approach to data collection to develop a fulsome understanding of the existing (or baseline) natural, socio-economic and cultural conditions for the Project. The EA will adopt a multi-scale approach for describing existing environmental conditions and predicting effects from the Project. As such, study areas will be used to define the geographic extent within which to capture the potential direct and indirect effects of the Project. The preliminary study area definitions for the purposes of the EA are provided in Section 8.1. 6.1 General Environmental Setting The Project is located in Northwestern Ontario, with the northern end of the road approximately 525 km northeast of Thunder Bay (refer to Figure 1.1). The Project is located on provincial Crown land, Webequie First Nation Reserve land under federal jurisdiction, and the traditional territories of Indigenous communities (refer also to Section 6.4.6 Land and Resource Use). Figure 6.1 illustrates the location of the alternative routes in relation to project area features and sensitivities. Due to confidentiality constraints (including those imposed by Webequie First Nation and Government of Ontario ministries), and the need to respect the wishes of potentially affected Indigenous communities with respect to divulging certain information on the use of lands in the project area, it is not possible to illustrate the location or bounds of a number of features and sensitivities, including First Nations’ traditional territories, individual camps/cabins, species at risk observations and government-regulated hunting areas (e.g., trapline licences).

  • Lichens of Canada Exsiccati, Fascicle I, Nos. 1-25
    Opuscula Philolichenum, 17: 335-341. 2018. *pdf effectively published online 12October2018 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) Lichens of Canada Exsiccati, Fascicle I, Nos. 1-25 R. TROY MCMULLIN1* AND LYNDSEY SHARP2 ABSTRACT. – A new exsiccati is initiated, Lichens of Canada, disseminated by the National Herbarium of Canada (CANL) at the Canadian Museum of Nature. Thirty-one sets of 25 species from the Hudson Bay Lowlands in northern Ontario and Salt Spring Island in British Columbia are distributed to: B, BG, C, CANB, COLO, DUKE, E, EWU, FH, FR, GZU, H, HMAS, KANU, LD, M, MSC, NBM, NFLD, NY, O, OSU, PMAE, QFA, S, SWSG, TNS, TU, UBC, UPS, WIS. KEYWORDS. – Biodiversity, fungi, lichenology, mycology, natural history collections, scheda. INTRODUCTION Exsiccati are identically numbered sets of dried specimens distributed to herbaria (Sayre 1969, 1971). Their purpose is to disseminate material from particular areas, or of specific groups of taxa, for examination by researchers in other parts of the world (Stafleu 1972, Stevenson 1971). An exchange of duplicate specimens serves a similar function and is often done instead of exsiccati. The benefit of exsiccati however, is that sets are consistent and provide an alternative to sorting through herbaria to locate specimens from a particular region since they are all in one place and usually organised in a catalogue. In Canada, two exsiccati that contain lichens have been distributed in the past by the National Herbarium of Canada (CANL) at what is now the Canadian Museum of Nature. The first, ‘Canadian Lichens’, was prepared by John Macoun and disseminated in two series.

The samples were provided to the author by Mr. Al Shefsky ofPele Mountain Resources to be processed in Toronto for diamonds and indicator minerals. The results were initially provided to Pele Mountain Resources verbally. This report represents a summary of analysis, photo documentation, reference material and descriptions relevant to the sample. A secondary purpose of this analysis is an academic study of the surface microtextures of minerals such as quartz and zircon (see Mahaney 2002; Mahaney and Milner 1997). Both spheroidal garnets, mainly spessartite, and quartz, which in Wawa lamprophyre, Ogoki River samples and these Attawapiskat River samples are close to pristine and are lacking in significant fracturing that might be incurred in either glacial or river transport. Kyanite is another mineral, present in this sample, with potential for further research (Fipkie et ai., 1999). Morphological changes for distance of transport from the pipe has been given for pyrope. Dummet (1984) described the spherical form, "orange peel" surface texture of the pyrope at the pipe and the subsequent breaking and rounding of the mineral with distance of transport.

  • Bibliography on the Limnology and Fisheries of Canadian Freshwaters
    BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. N0.2(REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 1982 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.2, published in 1975 as Environm. Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (504). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only, unless otherwise requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.2(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in num~rical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used. Apart from French names, it is usual for the specific name to precede the generic name, as in Elliot Lake, but in a few cases the reverse is true, such as Lake Nipissing, in which case the latter will appear as Nipissing, Lake, with a comma after the-specific name.

    Opuscula Philolichenum, 14: 93-108. 2015. *pdf effectively published online 29May2015 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/philolichenum/) New and interesting lichens from Ontario, Canada – II 1 2 3 RICHARD TROY MCMULLIN , JOSE R. MALOLES & STEVEN G. NEWMASTER ABSTRACT. – The lichen biota of Ontario has received considerable attention in recent years. Here we report more new species to the province and new records of infrequently reported species. Pyrenopsis phaeococca is new to Canada. Nine additional species are reported for the first time in Ontario: Abrothallus caerulescens, Absconditella lignicola, Chaenothecopsis marcineae, Ephebe hispidula, Ephebe perspinulosa, Epilichen scabrosus, Mycoblastus affinis, Normandina pulchella, and Punctelia perreticulata. Eighteen species are new provincial records of uncommon taxa: Acarospora sinopica, Anisomeridium biforme, Bagliettoa baldensis, Calicium denigratum, Candelariella lutella, Chaenotheca laevigata, Chaenothecopsis nana, Cladonia incrassata, C. maxima, C. norvegica, Clypeococcum hypocenomycis, Dermatocarpon dolomiticum, Lathagrium undulatum, Lecanora albescens, Phaeophyscia kairamoi, Physconia subpallida, Spilonema revertens, and Xanthomendoza weberi. Our records bring the number of lichens and allied fungi known from Ontario to 1,082. KEYWORDS. – Great Lakes, northeastern North America, rare species, phytogeography. INTRODUCTION Ongoing research on the lichens and allied fungi that occur in Ontario, Canada (Fig. 1) has resulted in continued discoveries of species new to the province and new records of rarely reported species. Several recent studies have contributed to knowledge of the lichen biota in the province (Brodo et al. 2013, Lewis 2014, McMullin & Lendemer 2013, McMullin & Lewis 2014, McMullin et al. 2014, Schram et al. 2013). The first paper in the present series also contained new and interesting records for the province, as well as descriptions of the location of the province, its ecological regions and climate, and the history of lichen collecting up to that time (McMullin & Lewis 2013).
