  • Red Sky Métis Independent Nation (RSMIN) thanks you for the opportunity to comment on the above noted project. After reviewing the RSMIN community data and the details of the project, at this time the RSMIN community does have some concerns regarding the current land use for the proposed project activities. The location of the project area falls within an area that is extensively used for traditional purposes.  The following comments and concerns need to be addressed: The proposed truck route needs to be clarified for our community to understand the environmental impacts. How did the proponent decide the route? Is the liquefied natural gas coming from Ontario or Quebec? What company is trucking the LNF?

  • RE: Missanabie Cree First Nation COMMENTS to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada Supplemental Impact Assessment Report - Magino Gold Project COMMENT #1 MCFN Cumulative Effects Concerns for ECA Air/Noise sent to MECP – Shareen Han _ Senior Program Support Coordinator, Permissions and Program Services Unit, October 19, 2022. Shareen Han – MECP response received November 8, 2022. MECP response – Each mine is reviewed individually, and states that neither proponent meets the requirements under the cumulative effects policy for air emissions on an individual basis. Each operation may be able to comply with Ontario’s air emissions standards (O.Reg. 419/05) on an individual application, but the policy that regulates cumulative effects cannot be pre-determined in an individual application framework. Cumulative effect considerations should require the Ministry to evaluate the assembled information from both proponents prior determining whether the proponent meets the governing requirements. The MECP response concludes that an assessment for potential cumulative impacts will be considered once Alamos application review has commenced. Alamos originally used EDSM models to demonstrate emission concentrations during Environmental Community Meetings, to which MCFN recognized that the concentrations were likely to increase with the addition of Argonaut Gold’s operations included. Since incorporating both mines’ data, provided by WSP, the concentration density within the model has increased substantially. First Nations are granted access to information before the Ministry that allows the First Nations to foreshadow the potential impacts before the Ministries receive the applications. ...
