  • October 28, 2022 Nicole Frigault Environmental Assessment Specialist Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) [via email: rook1@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca] Dear Ms. Frigault, Re: Comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Rook 1 Project, proposed by NexGen Energy Ltd On behalf of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), the Dene Lands and Resource Management (DLRM) is writing to provide comments to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) on the draft Environmental Impact Status (“EIS”) for the Rook 1 Uranium Mining Project (“the Project”), submitted by NexGen Energy Ltd. As described by the CNSC1, the public comment period gives Indigenous nations and others “an opportunity to submit their views in writing to the CNSC on the adequacy of the information presented in the EIS”, as measured against the 2012 CEAA Guidelines for Preparation of an Environmental Assessment. Please accept this letter and the appended technical reviews as ACFN’s formal submission of comments on the adequacy of information in the draft EIS. Background on ACFN Rights and Interests ACFN has historically used all parts of their Treaty 8 area for a range of cultural practices that have been integral to its physical and cultural survival. The use of those lands for these purposes is extremely important to ACFN. The land sustains ACFN and is at the heart of their culture, traditions, identity, spirituality, and rights. ACFN members are very concerned with ensuring the continuation of their culture and see the land as central to their ability to do so; for example, in the following quote, R. Cardinal explains how “traditional ...

(“NexGen”). History of the Métis To begin, we would like to acknowledge that the land on which our people live is the traditional and current territory and Homeland of the Métis (the “Homeland”). The Métis emerged as a distinct Indigenous people and nation in the historic Canadian Northwest during the 18th and 19th centuries. Saskatchewan is a part of the “historic Métis homeland”, which includes the three prairie provinces, Ontario, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and the northern United States. The Canadian government attempted to extinguish the historic Métis Nation through the issuance of “scrip” and land grants in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The Métis in Saskatchewan began organizing to address issues of Métis land rights and scrip in the 1930s and continued to grow and advocate for recognition as one of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples. Now, nearly 150 years ...

  • 1 NexGen EIS Review – Primary Areas of Concern From Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resources (YNLR) Overview: YNLR is a not-for-profit organization established by the Black Lake Denesųłiné First Nation, Fond du Lac Denesųłiné First Nation, and Hatchet Lake Denesųłiné First Nation (collectively known as Athabasca Denesųłiné) and the municipalities of Camsell Portage, Uranium City, Stony Rapids and Wollaston Lake. YNLR has the authority to represent the communities in this EIS regulatory process. NexGen is proposing to develop an underground uranium mine at the Rook 1 project site located within Nuhenéné, the traditional territory of the Athabasca Denesųłiné (AD), near Patterson Lake. YNLR’s mission is to protect the lands and waters of Nuhenéné for the long-term benefit of its Denesųłiné First Nations and Athabasca communities, guided by their knowledge, traditions, and ambitions, while being a respected partner in relations with industries, governments, and organizations who seek to develop its resources. Background and Critical Issue: NexGen began engaging with communities as early as 2013. Unfortunately, discussions with the Athabasca Denesųłiné did not begin until 2019. Based on the early engagement, primary communities that were deemed most likely affected by the proposed Project were identified. Then using these identified communities as a guide, a LPA (local priority area) was established. NexGen engagement activities were focused on primary communities in the LPA. This approach has at least three flaws.  First, it ignores or disregards the information provided by the Athabasca Denesųłiné in 2020 that clearly demonstrates their rights and interests in the vicinity of Rook 1. ...

  • Buffalo River Dene Nation Band No 398 Box 40 Dillon, Sask S0M 0S0 October 4, 2022 To Nicole Frigault, The following is a letter of support from the Buffalo River Dene Nation (BRDN) to be included in the formal federal draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) public review for NexGen’s Rook I Project. BRDN and NexGen have a long history of engagement and collaboration together, with relationships being developed with BRDN community and leadership as far back as 2016. From engagement during exploration, through the Study Agreement (SA), and most recently the implementation of the Impact Benefit Agreement (IBA) for the Rook I Project, NexGen has been diligent in their engagement activities. They have ensured that all programs were well defined and well communicated, and consistently demonstrate their commitment to working in partnership with BRDN to continue to develop and support community programs and initiatives that focus on culture, education, career training, and building economic capacity for long term community benefits. Study Agreement Among the many engagement initiatives that NexGen has undertaken, the establishment of the SA between NexGen and BRDN commenced in September of 2019, and serves as an impactful demonstration of NexGen’s commitment to engaging with the local Indigenous communities. The SA, fully funded by NexGen, defined a collaborative approach to identifying potential impacts of the proposed development and operations of the mine, as well as identifying potential avoidance and accommodation measures in relation to the Rook I Project. As part of the SA, a Joint Working Group (JWG) was established to support the inclusion of BRDN’s traditional knowledge throughout the EA ...

Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resource (YNLR) YNLR-1 Many Athabasca Basin community members are traditional land users that rely on hunting, fishing and trapping to support their families and communities. Protection of the ecological systems that support traditional land use is critical. The sustainable and responsible use of water resources should be a top priority for NexGen when operating the Rook I Project site. Residents use the multiple lakes, ponds, and rivers for a variety of purposes and highly value the environmental protection of water. Community members will want to be assured that water resources are safe and respected. All efforts should be made to design a water management system that minimizes fresh water intake by reusing and recycling water on-site whenever possible. Additionally, it is important to closely monitor groundwater and the release of effluent from any site related activity back into the environment. Effluent must be properly treated and tested before release. All monitoring results should be made available and regularly reviewed with Athabasca Basin communities. The Underground Tailings Management Facility will be a topic of interest for members of the Athabasca Basin, as tailings management methods can pose significant environmental concerns. Ya’thi Néné looks forward to learning more about the proposed tailings management facility of the Rook I Project ...

Ya’thi Néné Lands and Resource (YNLR) YNLR-1 De nombreux résidents des collectivités du bassin d’Athabasca sont des usagers traditionnels de la terre qui dépendent de la chasse, de la pêche et du piégeage pour subvenir aux besoins de leur famille et de leur collectivité. La protection des systèmes écologiques qui favorisent l’utilisation des terres à des fins traditionnelles revêt une importance capitale. L’utilisation durable et responsable des ressources en eau devrait être un objectif prioritaire de NexGen dans le cadre de son exploitation de l’installation du projet Rook I. Les résidents utilisent un grand nombre de lacs, d’étangs et de rivières pour une foule de raisons et à ce titre, ils accordent une grande importance à la protection environnementale des ressources en eau. Les membres de la collectivité voudront obtenir des assurances que leurs ressources en eau sont sauvegardées et respectées. Il ne faudrait ménager aucun effort pour concevoir un système de gestion de l’eau qui minimise la captation de l’eau douce et favorise la réutilisation et le recyclage de l’eau sur place dans toute la mesure du possible. En outre, il importe de surveiller étroitement l’eau souterraine et les rejets dans l’environnement d’un effluent provenant d’une activité du projet.
