Mapping the Cumulative Effects of Industrial Projects on Lake Superior's North Shore: A Map Reflecting the Cumulative Effects of Generation PGM's Marathon Palladium Project

Reference Number

Text

The Citizens for Responsible Industry in Northwestern Ontario (CRINO) supports responsible industrial development and natural resource extraction activities within Northwestern Ontario. CRINO works to ensure that any projects being approved within the Lake Superior watershed are carefully assessed to ensure that there are no significant impacts to air quality, aquatic habitats, climate change, terrestrial habitats, and water quality along Lake Superior’s North Shore.

CRINO developed this map to assist the Joint Review Panel in assessing how the Generation PGM Marathon Palladium Project may cumulatively affect Lake Superior’s North Shore. This map arose from concern that the mining proponent’s scoping of cumulative effects in the Environmental Impact Statement was too narrow, as it did not consider Lake Superior’s watershed as a whole. There are a variety of environmentally intensive projects that have been or will be operating throughout the watershed, and these projects all need to be considered when assessing the Marathon Palladium Project’s presence on the shores of Lake Superior. This map was prepared in partnership with MiningWatch Canada.
