  • 1 V.8 – May 2021 Guidance for Odour Impact Assessments and Odour Management for Proposed Oil Sands Projects on Fort McKay’s Traditional Territories (Draft- 2021) Guidance Document Overview and Summary Oil sands development related odours have been, and continue to be, a major issue for, and of concern to, the Community of Fort McKay. The assessment of the potential odour impacts of proposed oil sands projects on Fort McKay’s Traditional Territories both singly, and in combination with other approved and planned projects, is therefore an important component of project EIAs and/or applications.

  • 1 Suncor’s BMX TISG Project Section Section Title Comments Recommendations 1.1 Introduction: Factors to be Considered in the Impact Assessment Proponents often propose to use a number of mitigation measures for upland and wetland plant communities, even though the effectiveness of some of the techniques is not supported by scientific evidence and/or Indigenous knowledge. It is important that any mitigation measures a proponent proposes are not only technically and economically feasible, but supported by scientific evidence and/or Indigenous knowledge. This requirement should be explicitly stated in the TISG whenever there is a discussion of mitigation measures (this includes the residual effects and cumulative effects sections). Scientific evidence should include studies published in peer- reviewed literature, and/or data from other projects in the region that is substantive enough to show clear evidence supporting the proposed mitigation measure. Indigenous ...
