Many thanks to the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board, the Government of the Northwest Territories, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, and the Land and Water Boards of the Mackenzie Valley for the organization of this workshop, and to all attendees.
The Land and Water Boards of the Mackenzie Valley (Mackenzie Valley, Sahtu, Gwich’in, and Wek’eezhii) in collaboration with the Government of the Northwest Territories – Environment and Natural Resources (GNWT-ENR) and the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (MVEIRB) have drafted Guidelines for Aquatic Effects Monitoring Programs.
We invite reviewers to provide comments and suggestions to both improve the Guidelines as well as the current regulatory practices for AEMPs. See the Guidelines on our Online Review System, and submit your comments before February 28, 2018.
These Guidelines will outline the process for setting security and the expectations of proponents when submitting closure cost estimates.
The Guidelines document is posted on the Policies and Guidelines page (within “Resources” menu item) and is available for download.
Please see the attached Media Release for additional information about the content and use of these Guidelines. Thank you to all contributors for their valuable input!
