The GNWT began working on a Framework for range planning in the NWT in 2013 and engaged with renewable resources boards on an early draft of the Framework (then called a “range planning guidance document”) in 2014. While development of the Framework continued in 2015, the GNWT also held meetings with communities in the Southern NWT (Dehcho and South Slave regions) to collect traditional and local knowledge of important areas for boreal caribou in anticipation that a range plan would be developed in these regions first. In 2016/2017 GNWT undertook extensive internal engagement with key GNWT departments to further develop the draft Framework. The Framework is intended to establish the broad approach to developing regional range plans in the NWT. The draft Framework outlines the following proposed elements: regional division of the range plans within the NWT portion of the NT1 range (Schedule 3), regional disturb...

Furthermore, these milestones may need to be adjusted as additional information is made available. MILESTONE ACTIVITIES/DESCRIPTION LEAD SERVICE STANDARD Disposal at Sea Sampling and Analysis Plan A detailed characterization of the waste material proposed for Disposal at Sea is required. Ideally, a sampling and analysis plan should be prepared and implemented as part of the EA. The Proponent submits sampling and analysis plan to EC. Proponent Determined by the Proponent. EC reviews sampling and analysis plan and advises on adequacy. EC Acceptance by EC of the Plan contingent on the quality of information received. Disposal at Sea Permit Application is submitted The Proponent publishes Notice of Intent in a newspaper of general circulation, consults with other users of the sea, and submits permit application. Proponent Determined by the Proponent.(Not submitted before EA course of action decision) Disposal at Sea Application review EC conducts a preliminary review of the permit application to ensure it is complete. EC distributes the application to the appropriate agencies for review. EC 30 days from receipt of the application. Request for additional information If necessary, EC will request additional information should the application not be complete EC Following review of the application. Technical Review of the application and additional information EC and other appropriate agencies complete the technical review of the application and any additional information received. from the Proponent EC 75 days from initial receipt of the application. Disposal at Sea Permit Preparation and Regulatory Decision Disposal at sea permit terms and conditions are drafted. Permit contains conditions necessary for the protection of marine life, any legitimate uses of the sea or human life. EC makes decision on issuing permit EC 90 days from the initial receipt of the application. Disposal at Sea Permit is published in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act Environmental Registry EC publishes the permit in the CEPA Environmental Registry: Permits (xxxx://xxx.xx.xx.xx/CEPARegistry/permit s/DisposalAtSea.cfm ). EC 100 days from the initial receipt of the application. Disposal at Sea Activities The Proponent may begin disposal activities no sooner than 7 days following t...

Environment Canada. EC will provide the analytical service for all samples (according to Table B.3) by March 31, 2015. - EC analysis is valued at $39,585. The cost for EC to collect samples from 12 Core CESI sites in NL alone would exceed that amount. - EC will pay $15,000 to NL for costs associated with sampling remote Labrador CESI stations, which are accessible only by helicopter. $15,000 payable to NL (included in cost-shared table B5) $39,585 payable to EC Laboratory Services (For EC Internal Purposes Only) Data Management (Work-shared activity) Processing and Loading of WQ analytical data - Conducted by Environment Canada Accessibility/Availability of NL WQMA Dataset - Maintained by Environment Canada Environment Canada - verifies and corrects data - transfers data to database - ensures NL WQMA dataset is available on external server for download - maintains database and data transformation package - ensures filtered copy of database (containing NL WQMA dataset) is available outside the firewall - provides backed up NL WQMA dataset every six months to NL ENVC Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment and Conservation - Responsible for reviewing, QA/QC ing and subsequently replacing the former dataset Data Management Special Projects (Work-shared Laboratory Comparison Study to verify comparability in analytical results for water quality parameters between NLET and ALET Environment Canada - Final report to be prepared by EC in 2014-2015 NL Department of Environment and Conservation - Input to final report in 2014-2015 activity) Data Verification and Validation of Sample/Measurement Data Environment Canada - EC will continue to work with NL to exchange information and knowledge relating to the data Verification and Validation tool.

Environment Canada. Canada Title Objective(s) Historical International PCB-Laden Products exported to Canada and subsequent waste generation in Canada. Objective of the project is to identify PCBs in products and wastes in North America of foreign origins. This information will be used for several projects, the most immediate being a protocol to identify demolition wastes likely to be coated with PCB paints. This will be completed in order to have wastes tested and managed in an environmentally sound manner. Timeframe Responsible Organisation(s) Completed February, 2000. Subsequent protocol completed later in 2000 (Fall). Environment Canada
Environment Canada. Canada Title Objective(s) Ongoing evaluation of POPs and Heavy metals in Canada’s Northern Peoples A large amount of data has been gathered on the human exposure to and human tissue levels of POPs and various heavy metals in Arctic Canada (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik, Yukon). This data needs to be more fully evaluated and circulated in the appropriate scientific literature. Questions such as the relationship between the levels of POPs in the diet and the resulting levels of POPs in the fetus and relationship between maternal body burdens and fetal exposure levels at high and low levels of exposure can be evaluated. Timeframe Responsible Organisation(s) ongoing Health Canada, Departments of Health and Social Services in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Nunavik.
