Under the Ontario Renewable Energy Approvals regulation (the “REA”), there is a requirement to undertake archaeological assessments where the project may impact an archaeological resource. NEEC is also committed to working collaboratively with potentially affected Aboriginal communities to ensure that archaeological and construction work at project sites does not cause avoidable impacts to archaeological resources. In this regard, NEEC will abide by this protocol and will require its archaeological contractors to acknowledge and respect it as part of their contract for services with NEEC, as well as any additional process agreed to between NEEC and those communities. NEEC invites comments on this protocol from affected Aboriginal communities and will update and amend it as required for relevance and effectiveness.
