Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The oil and gas industry's best practices in the North are continually being developed in various ways in accordance with public response and regulator concerns, new standards and guidelines, changes in land use policy, environmental conditions and technological innovation. The primary focus of this report is industry activities associated with exploration and production. A wide variety of factors affect the adoption of these practices, including environmental, social and economic considerations. While government and industry generally oversee the implementation of these practices, the process by which they are developed, accepted and adopted has generally not been well understood by the parties affected. This document reports on the development of best practices in seismic operations, given that seismic operations are seen as a good example of how best practices develop over time."--Exec. summ.

Book excerpt: "The Mackenzie Delta and Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, located along the southern margin of the Beaufort Sea, have been areas of oil and gas exploration for over 50 years. The discovery of natural gas at the Taglu field in 1971, followed by the Parsons Lake discovery in 1972 and the Niglintgak discovery in 1973, established the region as a potential major new natural gas source. In 1977, Mr. Justice Thomas R. Berger issued "The Report of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry" (the "Berger Report"). ... Mr. Justice Berger also recommended that Mackenzie Valley pipeline development be postponed for 10 years, to provide time to settle native claims and to establish new programs and institutions so local peoples had more control over their lands. ... There are now settled land claims .... Now, 35 years after the Berger Report, there is another opportunity for the North, presented by the Mackenzie Gas Project ("MGP" or "Project"). ... The MGP offers an opportunity for the Proponents, Aboriginal communities, other Northern parties and Canadians to participate in responsible, economic development in the North. ... The MGP is, undeniably, one of the largest endeavours ever proposed in the Canadian North. Consequently, the MGP has been the subject of one of the most rigorous and comprehensive environmental impact review processes in Canadian history - this Joint Review Panel [JRP] process. The JRP was created ... in order to conduct an environmental assessment ("EA") of the MGP. ... The JRP process has consisted of 116 hearing days in 26 different communities, almost 5,000 filed exhibits and almost 12,000 pages of hearing transcripts. This has provided ample opportunity for a full and informed discussion of the Project, in an open and inclusive process. The Proponents submit that the evidentiary record before the JRP demonstrates that the Proponents have a strong commitment and ability to develop the MGP in a socially, economically and environmentally responsible manner within Canada's northern environment. The Proponents have thoroughly considered the Project effects and are confident that with appropriate mitigation and follow-up measures (contained in more than 500 commitments), there will be no likely significant adverse environmental effects caused by the Project. Further, the Proponents have shown that there are substantial benefits arising from the MGP while providing for the preservation of the Northern culture and traditional pursuits. The MGP will make a net positive contribution to sustainability. Therefore, the Proponents ask that the JRP recommend that the Project be approved and proceed to the next stage of regulatory permitting and approvals"--ASTIS database.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Summary report of environmental assessment: The Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (Review Board) undertook an Environmental Assessment (EA) of Paramount Resources Limited's (Paramount) proposed Cameron Hills Extension project according to the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA). The developer, Paramount Resources Ltd., proposes to drill up to 48 new oil and gas wells and build associated tie-ins to the existing pipeline over the next 10 years on the Cameron Hills Significant Discovery License (SDL). The Cameron Hills are located near the communities of Enterprise and Kakisa, in the southern portion of the Northwest Territories south of Great Slave Lake. Associated development activities proposed by Paramount include access roads, cutlines, camp locations and river crossings. In addition to analyzing written evidence, the Review Board held a community meeting on February 17, 2004 in Kakisa as well as a public hearing in Hay River on February 18-19, 2004. A review of the evidence on the public record has convinced the Review Board that: -The Cameron Hills is an important traditional use area for local First Nations and Metis. Some of the commitments to mitigation measures regarding harvester compensation made by Paramount in a previous EA have yet to be fulfilled. -There is a need for air quality monitoring in the NWT emerging as a result of oil and gas development and an emerging need for enforceable air quality standards. -The cumulative effects of ongoing development in the Cameron Hills may result in adverse effects on the regional boreal caribou population. Having considered all the evidence on the public record, the Review Board has concluded that the potential impacts of the proposed development can be mitigated if the developer's commitments are adhered to and if the mitigation measures proposed in this report of EA are accepted. The Review Board therefore recommends, pursuant to section 128(b) ii of the MVRMA that the proposed development proceed to the regulatory phase for approval"--Page vi.
Download or read book Aboriginal Consultation Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Review in Canada written by Kirk N. Lambrecht and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supreme Court of Canada decisions have defined a general framework for the "duty to consult" Aboriginal peoples and accommodate their concerns over natural resource development, but anticipate the details of that framework will be expanded upon in the future. Aboriginal Consultation, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Review in Canada offers a paradigm that advances that discussion. It proposes an integrated and robust planning model for natural resource extraction allowing Aboriginal peoples, industry, governments, tribunals, and the Courts to all make contributions to reconciliation in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. Kirk Lambrecht surveys the law of actual and asserted Aboriginal rights and historical and modern Treaty rights in Canada and discusses the national and international purposes of environmental assessment and regulatory review. He appraises the fundamental principles of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence defining aboriginal consultation and accommodation as a constitutional imperative and uses case studies involving the National Energy Board to demonstrate how integrated process has evolved over time. Finally he offers general conclusions on the practical utility, and outstanding challenges, involving an integrated planning paradigm.

Download or read book Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic written by Chris Southcott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years we have witnessed a demand for resources such as minerals, oil, and gas, which is only set to increase. This book examines the relationship between Arctic communities and extractive resource development. With insights from leading thinkers in the field, the book examines this relationship to better understand what, if anything, can be done in order for the development of non-renewable resources to be of benefit to the long-term sustainability of these communities. The contributions synthesize circumpolar research on the topic of resource extraction in the Arctic, and highlight areas that need further investigation, such as the ability of northern communities to properly use current regulatory processes, fiscal arrangements, and benefit agreements to ensure the long-term sustainability of their culture communities and to avoid a new path dependency This book provides an insightful summary of issues surrounding resource extraction in the Arctic, and will be essential reading for anyone interested in environmental impact assessments, globalization and Indigenous communities, and the future of the Arctic region.
