The Fort McKay Sustainability Department is writing to you on behalf of the Community of Fort McKay, including the Fort McKay First Nation and the Fort McKay Métis Community with regards to Shell’s ongoing work to developing a methodology to assess the effects of development to Aboriginal culture and heritage. As part of Shell’s November 13, 2014 quarterly update to the JRP, Shell noted that it recently initiated a process of engagement with various stakeholders to solicit input on the appropriate methods for assessing effects to Aboriginal culture and heritage associated with development projects and for determining the appropriate size for the RSA to be used in an EIA for an oil sands mine. Fort McKay supports Shell’s position that it would be premature to hold a pre-hearing proceeding prior to it having worked through the process that is currently underway. With respect to developing a methodology to assess effects to Aboriginal culture and heritage, ...

Dear Mr. Alex Bolton, This letter is issued to the Joint Review Panel (“JRP”) in response to the November 19, 2014, Notice of Panel Request for Written Comment1 and raises several concerns with the proposed Shell Canada Energy (“Shell”) Pierre River Mine (“PRM”) Project and the related Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”). The Aboriginal rights and interests of Métis Local 1909 extend across the local and regional study areas identified in the EIS, yet this document and related information (e.g. responses to Joint Review Panel (“JRP” or “Panel”) Supplemental Information Requests (“SIRs”) from October 2013) neither make reference to our organization nor examine any potential project or cumulative effects on our Aboriginal rights and interests. The complete absence of consideration of Métis Local 1909 Aboriginal rights and interests in the EA process to date is a serious oversight in the Crown’s responsibilities towards Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Compounding this problem is the fact that neither an agent of the ...

We submit this letter in response to the concerns you raise in your correspondence. For background, Shell has been engaging on the Pierre River Mine project (PRM) with Mr. Malcolm, as the self-identified representative of the Non-Status Fort McMurray/Fort McKay Band (NSFMFMB), since 2008. Shell co-funded an April 2008 study which included Traditional Land Use information from members of the Wood Buffalo Elders Society for use in Shell’s current oil sands applications. More recently, on August 22, 2013, Shell held an open house for the NSFMFMB at the Sawridge Hotel in Fort McMurray, during which Shell presented information regarding the Jackpine Mine Expansion project, PRM project, Shell’s environmental management process, information on Shell’s community engagement program and social investment, as well as Shell’s contracting and procurement process. This open house was attended by 10 community members; questions were primarily focused on access to employment and contracting opportunities, Shell’s social investment programs and Shell’s environmental management process.

Shell is currently re-evaluating the timing of various asset developments with a focus on maintaining a competitive business and successful delivery of near-term growth projects. Shell has determined that it will need to adjust the development timing for PRM. Although the extent of such a change in timing is not yet known, information that has been filed in support of the Project Application, such as the Environmental Impact Assessment, may no longer be accurate and will require updates. Until the implications of these changes are understood and Shell’s evidence has been updated, Shell is not prepared to proceed to a hearing on the Project. In order to conduct a proper review and evaluation of the PRM development plans, Shell proposes that the regulatory review process for the Project be suspended, in accordance with subsections 126(6) and 44(2) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (“CEAA 2012”) and section 16 of Part IV of the amended JRP terms of reference (“TOR”).

Dear Pierre River Mine Review Panel, I am writing to you on behalf of the Oil Sands Environmental Coalition (OSEC) regarding the proposed Shell Canada Pierre River Oil Sands Mine Project (herein referred to as the Project). As stated in our Statement of Concern,1 OSEC has ongoing concerns regarding the Project’s impacts to wildlife, greenhouse gas emissions, air emissions, water issues, and terrestrial impacts. However, there are eight broad areas where the information submitted by Shell Canada does not provide sufficient evidence to stakeholders regarding the mitigation of the Project’s adverse effects: air exceedances, greenhouse gas emissions, economic viability of the project, tailings management, end pit lakes with mature fine tailings, aquatic health and terrestrial and wildlife impacts. OSEC respectfully asks that the Project proponent address the questions provided below. Mitigation of air exceedances Section 3, SIR 5, and Appendix 3.2 Section 5.0 Shell identifies that there are AAAQO exceedances for PM2.5 exceedances at five receptor locations in the base case. Shell indicates that “these exceedances are mainly due to existing and approved projects in the region and there are minimal increases” due to the Project. Shell’s response also identifies that community ...

I understand that, as outlined in your letter, under the terms of the Act and its Transition Regulation, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) will replace the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and will assume all of the ERCB's powers, duties and functions under Alberta's energy resource enactments, which includes the Joint Review Panel Agreement (the Agreement) for the proposed project. As a signatory to the Agreement for the proposed project, I agree with the AER assuming the ERCB's position and responsibilities under this agreement, and that the previously appointed members of the Joint Review Panel (the Panel) , Mr. Jim Dilay, Mr. Alex Bolton and Mr. Les Cooke, shall continue to conduct the work of the Panel. I will consider any changes to the Pierre River Mine Project Joint Review Panel Agreement that may be required following the conclusions of the discussions on the recently enacted AER Rules of Practice.
