Description: This data is the spatial boundaries for established protected areas and conservation areas in the NWT, which includes:National Parks and National Park ReservesProtected National Historic Site (Saoyú ʔehdacho National Historic Site of Canada)Migratory Bird Sanctuaries Thelon Wildlife SanctuaryAreas protected through Aboriginal land claim agreements (Kelly Lake, Ezodzìtì)*Pingo Canadian Landmark Natural Environment Park*Areas in land use plans that meet the protected areas definition (Wexèlaxodiale)(SeeTłįchǫ land use plan page 13. http://www.tlicho.ca/sites/default/files/105-LandUsePlan_FINAL%20VERSION%5B2%5D.pdf)Areas of larger (> 1000 ha) Territorial parks of the sub-group: Territorial Recreation Park, Territorial *features were provided by NWTCG based on metes and bounds descriptions Users Notes about the Data – Note1- Gwich'in Territorial Park has been updated by NWTCG based on metes and bounds descriptions. Thelon Game sanctuary has known inaccuracies. When better data is available from credible data sources they will be updated.Note 2 - Feature class does not include spatial boundaries in the NWT for: Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary, and Nagwichoonjik Historic Site. These are not included because areas don’t meet the IUCN criteria for a protected area according to national and international guidelines and do not have sufficient surface or subsurface protection. MPA are entirely marine and therefore have no land management implications.Note 3 – The Status Network field divides protected areas from conservation areas. Note 4 – This feature class excludes ‘Conservation Zones’ embedded in approved Land Use Plans (LUP) please use:’PLC_SLUPB_APP_SahtuLandUsePlan’; ‘PLC_TG_APP_TlichoLandUsePlan’; ‘PLC_GLUPB_DRF_GwichinLandUsePlan_X’ in the Enterprise Spatial Data Platform for Conservationand Heritage Conservation Zones.Note 5 – The ‘PLC_NWTCG_ConservationAreas_X feature class is a NWTCG constructed layer for the Mining Recorders Office (MRO) in the Mineral Tenure Viewer, so conservation parcels have a different definition in terms of land protection from development versus ecological integrity.

Description: Canada's Oceans Act gives us the ability to establish Marine Protected Areas to conserve and protect unique habitats, endangered or threatened marine species and their habitats, commercial and non-commercial fishery resources (including marine mammals) and their habitats, marine areas of high biodiversity or biological productivity, and any other marine resource or habitat requiring special protection. The Tarium Niryutait Marine Protected Area is made up of three spatially seperate areas called Niaqunnaq, Okeevik, and Kittigaryuit. These areas evolved from the Beluga Management Zone 1a. As of May 2008, the creation of the MPA is awaiting Gazetting, with an estimated date of completion sometime in the Fall of 2008. This Shapefile consists of the bounaries for the Kittigaryuit MPA.

Description: Draft 3 of the Sahtu Land Use Plan was released on July 12, 2010. Land Use Zones were finalized in September 2011 and provided to the NWTCG at that time.This data is available for GNWT use only, however data is available on the Sahtu Land Use Planning Board websiteMore information on the Sahtu Land Use Plan can be found:http://www.sahtulanduseplan.org/website/web-content/index.htmlThe following Zones have bene identified in the Land Use Plan:General Use Zones (GUZs) Most types of land use are allowed except bulk water removal (taking very large quantities of water to use somewhere else).Approximately 31% of the area. These are the main areas for development.Special Management Zones (SMZs) Most types of land use are allowed except bulk water removal. In these areas, communities want to protect water, wildlife, and cultural values but still want development. Approximately 42% of the area. Special rules exist to make sure that development does not hurt those values.Conservation Zones (CZs) These are very important areas for communities. The following types of development are not allowed: mining, oil and gas,forestry,power development, quarrying (taking sand, rock and gravel) and bulk water removal. Approximately 4% of the areaProposed Conservation Initiatives (PCIs) These are areas that communities are working with the NWT Protected Areas Strategy or Government to protect permanently. The Plan protects them like Conservation Zones (no development allowed) until they are completed. Approximately 20% of the area.The following major attributes are foundZone Type CZ, GUZ, PCI, SMZ, N_PARK, COMMName Name of the Zone

Description: The Dehcho Land Use Planning Zones were created by the Dehcho Land Use Planning Commission. Details on the zones, and access to the Land Use Plan, maps, and shapefiles are available on the websitehttp://www.dehcholands.orgThis is a 2006 draft version of the Land Use Planning Zones developed as part of the land use planning process. Data was provided by the DLUPC to the NWTCG for its use. It is believed that there have been updates to these zones but this is the latest version that have bene publishedThe Plan contains five zone types:Conservation Zones are areas having significant ecological and cultural values. They are meant to provide flexible protection to lands of important cultural or ecological value. Only tourism is permitted in Conservation Zones, subject to the Plan’s Conformity Requirements. Two of the zones prohibit tourism as well. There are 18 Conservation Zones covering 38.1% of the Plan Area. The Mackenzie Valley Special Infrastructure Corridor provides a passage through four Conservation Zones.Protected Areas Strategy Zone is a separate designation for Candidate Protected Areas with Interim Protection. At the moment, only Edéhzhíe (Zone 1) has this designation, covering 12.0% of the Plan Area. Edéhzhíe has been withdrawn from disposition through the Protected Areas Strategy (PAS) process. Once established as a protected area, it will be managed under the legislation and authority of the sponsoring agency and an applicable Management Plan. In the interim, it is subject to the Plan. The Protected Areas Strategy Zone designation provides the same level of protection as a Conservation Zone.Special Management Zones are areas where there is significant potential for both conservation and resource development together. Special Management Zones were established to promote certain types of land use or protect values while allowing some forms of land use to proceed. To achieve these goals, each Special Management Zone prohibits at least one of the five land use types addressed, while permitting others, subject to the Plan’s other Conformity Requirements. There are 14 Special Management Zones covering 24.4% of the Plan Area.General Use Zones permit all land uses, subject to the Plan’s Conformity requirements. General Use Zones cover 25.5% of the Plan Area. They are not numbered.Special Infrastructure Corridors delineate two study corridors for proposed pipeline projects. The construction and operation of a pipeline is permitted within these corridors, subject to the Plan’s Conformity Requirements, even where the corridors cross Zones where oil and gas operations are not permitted otherwise. All zone requirements and restrictions continue to apply in the corridors except where and to the extent that the Plan states an exception.Attribute Fields:Zone: Zone NumberZoneName: Zone Name UsedStatus: Type of Land Use ZonePAS = Protected Area Strategy ZoneCONS = ConservationSPM = Special ManagementSIC = Special Infrastructure CorridorGEN = General UseCOMM = Community BoundaryAgri: Yes or No Value, whether specific land use (Agriculture) is permittedForestry: Yes or No Value, whether specific land use (Forestry) is permittedMining: Yes or No Value, whether specific land use (Mining) is permittedOilGas: Yes or No Value, whether specific land use (Oil and Gas) is permittedTourism: Yes or No Value, whether specific land use (Tourism) is permittedArea_m2: Area in metres (areas calculated using Lambert Conformal Conic projection with CM=122°W,Standard parallels 60°N and 65°N)

Description: In December 2011, the NWTCG used the National Road Network, Version 2, Edition 7 data, MACA ATLAS parcel data (February 2011) and Canada Land Survey Register (CLSR) to:1. Definitively locate most Territorial Parks as a point feature.. Happy Valley Recreation Park, McNallie Creek Wayside Park, and Salt Mountain Wayside Park locations may need further confirmation.2. Identify those for which there were digital survey plans.In May 2012, the point location of the Hay Rvier Territorial Park was corrected.NWTCG will be working with Parks and Tourism to compile digital boundaries for NWT Territorial Parks.The following Territorial Parks have digital boundaries (surveyed parcels or unsurveyed parcels):MACA ATLAS:Dory Point Wayside Park, Fort Providence Recreation Park, Fort Simpson Recreation Park, Fort Smith Mission Historic Park,Fort Smith/Queen Eliabeth Recreation Park, Fred Henne Recreation Park, Fred Henne Wayside Park - not in regs but on Commissioner's Land, Hay River Recreational Park, Jak Recreation Park, Kakisa River Wayside Park, Lady Evelyn Falls Natural Environment Park, Liard River Ferry Crossing - not in the regs but reserved for Parks, Little Buffalo Crossing Recreation Park, McKinnon Wayside Park, Nitainlaii Recreation Park, Prelude Lake Recreation Park, Reid Lake Recreation Lake, Yellowknife River Wayside parkCLSR:60th Parellel Recreation Park, Blackstone Recreation Park, Boundary Creek Wayside Park, Little Buffalo Falls Recreation Park, Madeline Lake Wayside Park, Pontoon Lake Wayside ParkThe following Territorial Parks have been legally described and the digital polygon boundaries are considered to be accurate:Hidden Lake Natural Environment ParkThe following Territorial Parks have digital boundaries that may need to be confirmed with a more detailed investigation:Gwich'in Recreation Park - legally described, digital boundaries need to be confirmedHay River Recreation Park - legally described but Survey Plans may have changed since Regs createdMcNallie Creek Wayside Park not enough information to confirm actual locationCameron Falls Wayside Park not in the regs, within Hidden Lake NEPPaniksak Wayside Park legal decription includes references to Survey Plans and monuments so should be straightforward to createPowder Point Wayside Park legal description adequate to create digital boundarySalt Mountain not enough detail to confirm location but located at approximate km 234Sambaa Deh Falls Recreation Park will need surveyor to locate actual boundariesTwin Falls Natural Environment Park much of it is found with CLSR but will need a surveyor to completeHappy Valley Recreation Park Description Regs do not match current Parcels in the MACA ATLAS and will require further investigationNorth Arm Recreation Park Creation of Behchoko, Plan in description may have been modified to Plan 89549, Lot 404Tetlit Gwinjik Day Use Area not in the Regulations, only in the brochure

Description: Heritage ValueNagwichoonjik (Mackenzie River) was designated a national historic site of Canada because:- it is prominent as a cultural landscape within the Gwichya Gwich’in traditional territory;- it is culturally, socially and spiritually significant to the people; - the history of life on the land and along the river is remembered through names that are given to a great number of places on the land and along the river.The heritage value of Nagwichoonjik (Mackenzie River) is reflected in the cultural landscape along the river that reflects the river’s role as a principal repository of the stories (oral histories) that suffuse with meaning the history of the landscape as the Gwichya Gwich’in know it. The traditional lifestyle of the Gwichya Gwich’in has been shaped by their close connection with the land and the river, and many points along the river play an essential role in the transmission and survival of Gwich’in culture. Nagwichoonjik represents the complex sets of relationships between the Gwich’in people, their traditional lands and their past, before and after the arrival of the European explorers.Sources: Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada Minutes, June 1997; Commemorative Integrity Statement.Character-Defining ElementsKey elements that contribute to the heritage character of the site include:- the Mackenzie River and the land along its banks between Thunder River and Point Separation in its location and as a dramatic river valley consisting of a wide waterway, beaches, high cliffs in some places and gentle slopes in others, cut with many creeks, and displaying human impacts from pre-contact to modern times;- archaeological evidence of Gwich’in use, including camps, settlements, fisheries, quarries, connecting trails and trail heads, burial places, ritual and sacred places;- the health and wholeness of the riparian ecosystem (its water quality, quantity, rates of flow, sandbars and siltation, fish quality, the health of species such as inconnu and moose;- the undisturbed land and unimpeded views of the river and along the valley from the river; - sacred sites along the river (currently being identified by the Gwich’in Cultural Institute);- ritual sites along the river (currently being identified by the Gwich’in Cultural Institute);- Gwich’in knowledge of traditional place names along the river.Historic Sites and Monuments Act, 1997/06/05from: http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=9161Nagwichoonjik is managed by the Gwich’in Tribal Council, a First Nations governing body established pursuant to the Gwich’in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (1992), working in co-operation with Gwich’in organizations like the Gwichya Gwich’in Council of Tsiigehtchic and Gwich’in Social and Cultural Institute along with various government agencies including Parks Canada. Parks Canada has worked closely with these Gwich’in organizations in developing a Commemorative Integrity Statement for the Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site of Canada. This important document identifies what is meant by commemorative integrity at this site and forms the basis for future planning, management and operation of the Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site of Canada. (http://www.pc.gc.ca/APPS/CP-NR/release_e.asp?bgid=618&andor1=bg)The Nagwichoonjik National Historic Site was designated in 1997 as an Aboriginal Cultural Landscape. It includes a 175 km stretch of the Mackenzie River from Vihtr'ii Tshik (Thunder River) to Srehtadhadlâîî (Point Separation), making it the largest National Historic Sitein Canada. The boundaries of the site reach 5 km inland from the river to ensure that all the major archaeological and cultural sites affiliated with it are included (The Canadian Encyclopedia, http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0010484)

Description: The data was originally drafted onto hard-copy 1:250,000 NTS map sheets and then was digitized by Mutli-imaging into Autocad drawing files in 1995. All original digital data was received 13th of November, 1995 in Autocad DXF files. The data was converted to ARC/INFO coverage format.All theme layers were digitized by map sheet. They were separated into the individual theme layers and merged together. Some data was missing so non-linear data was digitized from the hard copy maps into the Roots digitizing system and then converted to ARC/INFO coverages. If the data were straight lines, lat/long coordinates were used to create a line file. All missing data was then merged with the original coverages. All polygons were closed and centroids added and then cleaned to establish topology.Changes have been made to individual layers as the Regulations have changed. The name has changed to reflect the year of the changes. The individual theme layer metadata will record any updates. THe have been no updates to the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary since the Regulations have been passed.The data was initially created as coverages and had limited distribution. In June 2001, it was decided that most users of this data did not need to know the origin of the line work. It was only required in case the location of a line is ever questioned so a secondary set of coverages were created in which the lines were simplified. This makes the data easier to use. E00 and shapefiles have been created using the 'simplified data' and all will have a simlar naming structure. ie original file BDRLIC96distribution BRDRL96DE00 file BRDRL96Dshapefile BRDRL96DBecause one of the original reasons that the digital layers were created was to support the Wildlife Act and Regulations, and as the linework used to outline each polygon was either digitized, or came from other sources and at varying times it was decided that a record was needed of the origin of each line segment that formed the boundary of each polygon.To record the information about each line segment, two attributes, SOURCE and DATE were added to each layer linework attributes.The first attribute, SOURCE is the source of the linework. Each value in the attribute field is described as followsNTS250 Data were mapped and then digitized from 1:250,000 NTS sheets. The original data was digitized by John Alexander of Multi-imaging, the DATE 11/13/95 was attached to all John Alexander's work as this was when it was received by NWTC RS, any missing data was digitized by Gerren Saskiw.LEGIS Lat/Longs from the legislation, ARC GENERATE was used to create coverages (XLINE*), which were projected to the Lambert projection and then the lines extracted and added to the appropriate coverages1:4MILLION An approximate boundary between Greenland and Canada derived from a 1:4 million scale map of Canada (polar bear and wildlife management units only) 12 mi buff Canada has a 12 mile territorial sea boundary which was generated using the ARC BUFFER command and land boundaries from the NSDB hydrography layer (barren-ground caribo and wildlife management units only)SMOOTH The boundaries of the Canada-Greenland border and the 12 mile sea boundary did require some manual 'smoothing' to reflect the actual respective boundary line (ie. eliminating bays and adjusting the boundary between Ellesmere Island and Greenland (spliting the distance)FMSMITH Changes to the Forest Management Zones layer that have been created by Forest Management in Fort Smith.The second attribute, DATE is the approximate date the data was received and entered into the databaseNOTE: These linework attributes are not included in the distribution version.

Description: This data represents the Human Disturbances Dataset for the North Slave Region, South Slave Region, Sahtu Administrative Region, and Inuvik Administrative Region (and/or Inuvialuit Settlement Region)using information from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board, Gwich'in Land and Water Board, Sahtu Land and Water Board, Inuvialuit Water Board, and Nunavut Impact Review Board registries by Caslys Consulting Ltd. between 2015 and 2016. (Note this dataset extends across all of the NWT and into a portion of Nunavut to provide information across the Bathurst Caribou Range, which straddles the territorial boundary.).This was part of the Human Disturbance Mapping project for the GNWT, where a series of spatial datasets were created with the key objective to create an accurate and up-to-date human disturbance footprint that can be used to help make future land and water management decisions. These datasets were created based on existing baseline GIS data, aerial and satellite imagery, as well as permit records from registries with associated online archives..Modelling and other landscape GIS analyses that use this information may benefit from combining all point, line and polygon datasets into a single disturbance footprint that best represents the sum of all input files. It is recommended that this process be completed by first applying GIS buffer functions to point and line feature classes. This provides the advantages of having a more true representation of disturbance footprint with the ability to calculate spatially explicit functions, such as determining the area of the total disturbance. Using the ‘PointArea_Ha’ (Permit_Data_Points) and ‘LinearWidth_m’ (Permit_Data_Lines) fields respectively, users can calculate the buffer distance for each record in the point and line feature class files. The values in these fields do not represent the buffer distance itself, but can be used to calculate an appropriate buffer distance that can be added to an additional buffer-distance-field..Using the date fields and seasonal date fields, the user may develop queries that will allow human disturbance information to be displayed for a specific time period. Refer to Section 3.2 in the Human Disturbance Mapping Report (Caslys, 2015) which lists the fields that can be used to accomplish date-specific queries, as well as the Technical Guide - Selection by Date (Caslys, 2015) which outlines the query syntax..Along with the content created through this mapping project, several other GIS map layers should be used to create a comprehensive representation of the human disturbance footprint. Primarily, roads that have been previously mapped have not been re-captured under the scope of this project. Therefore, any modelling that is developed to map the human disturbance footprint should include other map layers managed by NWTCG. Refer to Section 3.1 in the Human Disturbance Mapping Report (Caslys, 2015) for a list of recommended map layers to be included in this process. As well, refer to the (NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program) Inventory of Landscape Change Map Viewer to view a series of map layers that all contribute to the total development footprint.

Description: This data represents the Human Disturbances Dataset for the North Slave Region, South Slave Region, Sahtu Administrative Region, and Inuvik Administrative Region (and/or Inuvialuit Settlement Region)using information from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board, Gwich'in Land and Water Board, Sahtu Land and Water Board, Inuvialuit Water Board, and Nunavut Impact Review Board registries by Caslys Consulting Ltd. between 2015 and 2016. (Note this dataset extends across all of the NWT and into a portion of Nunavut to provide information across the Bathurst Caribou Range, which straddles the territorial boundary.).This was part of the Human Disturbance Mapping project for the GNWT, where a series of spatial datasets were created with the key objective to create an accurate and up-to-date human disturbance footprint that can be used to help make future land and water management decisions. These datasets were created based on existing baseline GIS data, aerial and satellite imagery, as well as permit records from registries with associated online archives..Modelling and other landscape GIS analyses that use this information may benefit from combining all point, line and polygon datasets into a single disturbance footprint that best represents the sum of all input files. It is recommended that this process be completed by first applying GIS buffer functions to point and line feature classes. This provides the advantages of having a more true representation of disturbance footprint with the ability to calculate spatially explicit functions, such as determining the area of the total disturbance. Using the ‘PointArea_Ha’ (Permit_Data_Points) and ‘LinearWidth_m’ (Permit_Data_Lines) fields respectively, users can calculate the buffer distance for each record in the point and line feature class files. The values in these fields do not represent the buffer distance itself, but can be used to calculate an appropriate buffer distance that can be added to an additional buffer-distance-field..Using the date fields and seasonal date fields, the user may develop queries that will allow human disturbance information to be displayed for a specific time period. Refer to Section 3.2 in the Human Disturbance Mapping Report (Caslys, 2015) which lists the fields that can be used to accomplish date-specific queries, as well as the Technical Guide - Selection by Date (Caslys, 2015) which outlines the query syntax..Along with the content created through this mapping project, several other GIS map layers should be used to create a comprehensive representation of the human disturbance footprint. Primarily, roads that have been previously mapped have not been re-captured under the scope of this project. Therefore, any modelling that is developed to map the human disturbance footprint should include other map layers managed by NWTCG.

Description: A list of GNWT contaminated sites complied by the Department of Finance, working with departments on the Environmental Remediation Committeeand theContaminated Sites Working Group.Data used in the Environmental Liabilities Dashboard,an interactive online mapping tool that the public can use to scroll into communities and see the types of sites that are under the responsibility of the GNWT.Data current as of March 31,2022
Copyright Text: Department of Finance - RTR
Responsible for ensuring that the dashboard is updated on an annual basis and that the number of sites matches the GNWT public accounts.
Will lead any information to the Standing Committee on Government Operations related to the dashboard unless it is separately directed to another department under a different committee. That department will work with Finance prior to responding.
Description: The Contaminants and Remediation Directorate (CARD) is currently responsible for nearly 100 contaminated sites in the NWT, at various stages of remediation (clean up). This directorate brings together all of the work done by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) associated with federal contaminated sites in the NWT. Many of these legacy sites became the Government of Canada's responsibility after private owners relinquished their properties according to the legislation of the day, or when companies went bankrupt. In past years, the properties then reverted to the Crown, and as representative of the Crown, INAC became custodian of these properties and related remediation activities. With new regulations in place that require new development to support the future costs of reclamation, similar reversions are prevented.10-Step Federal Approach to Contaminated SitesINAC follows a defined 10-step process for addressing federal contaminated sites to ensure that there is a common approach to the management of contaminated sites. For the purposes of mapping which stage the NWT sites are in, the 10-step process has been broken into 5 categories: Assessment, Pre-Remediation (Priority Site), Remediation, Monitoring, and Remediated/Closed. Assessment Step 1: INAC identifies sites that might be contaminated, based on activities (past or current) on or near the site.*Step 2: INAC assembles and reviews all historical information pertaining to the site.Step 3: INAC begins initial testing, which helps us to start to characterize the type of contamination at the site, and determine what condition the site is in.Step 4: INAC classifies the contaminated site using the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) National Classification System. It is then assigned a priority for future investigations and remediation or risk management actions.Pre-remediation Step 5: INAC tests specific areas of concern identified in Step 3, and does in-depth investigations and analysis.Step 6: If necessary and depending on the result of the investigation, INAC reclassifies the site’s priority ranking. Step 7: INAC engages partners, Aboriginal communities, and stakeholders to develop a site-specific remediation or risk management plan to address contamination issues.Remediation Step 8: INAC implements the site specific remediation or risk management plan that addresses contamination issues.Step 9: INAC conducts confirmatory sampling and analysis to make sure the remediation was successful.Monitoring Step 10: INAC conducts long-term monitoring to make sure that remediation and long-term risk management goals are achieved, as required. Once the site is completely remediated, it may be closed (Remediated/Closed, 14 sites in the NWT are currently in this phase).Remediated SitesFor sites where the monitoring phase is complete or for sites where all contaminants have been removed from site and therefore there is no residual risk to manage, they have been listed under "Remediated Sites". Those that existed prior to Devolution were transferred to the GNWT. New sites that become "Remediated Sites" could be considered for future land transfer.* Note that traditional knowledge is used throughout the project lifecycle, from assessment through to monitoring and closure.For more information on the identified contaminated sites, visit: www.aadnc-INAC.gc.ca/eng/1100100026218/1100100026222Remediation of contaminated sites in the NWT is made possible with support from the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP), a program aimed at reducing the environmental and human health risk, and associated federal financial liabilities, from known federal contaminated sites. More information about FCSAP is available at:www.federalcontaminatedsites.gc.ca.IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SITES LISTED IN THIS DATASET, CONTACT US:Contaminants and Remediation DivisionIndigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, NWT RegionP.O. Box 1500Yellowknife, NT X1A 2R3Phone: 867 669 2416Fax: 867 669 2721ntcard@aandc-aadnc.gc.caLa Direction des polluants et de l’assainissement (DPA) compte actuellement sous sa responsabilité plus de 100sites contaminés dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest (T.N.-O.) qui en sont à diverses étapes d’assainissement (dépollution). La Direction travaille à réunir toutes les activités d’Affaires autochtones et Développement du Nord Canada (AADNC) liées aux sites contaminés fédéraux dans les T.N.-O. Bon nombre de ces sites contaminés sont passés sous la responsabilité du gouvernement du Canada lorsque des exploitants privés se sont départis de leurs propriétés, conformément à la législation de l’époque, ou lorsque des entreprises ont déclaré faillite. Au fil des ans, les propriétés ont été retournées à la Couronne, et AADNC, en qualité de représentant de la Couronne, en a assumé la garde ainsi que la responsabilité des activités d’assainissement s’y rattachant. Pour éviter d’autres réversions similaires, de nouvelles dispositions réglementaires prévoient désormais la prise en charge des coûts de la remise en état par les exploitants.Les 10 étapes de l’Approche fédérale en matière de lieux contaminésPour garantir une gestion uniforme des sites contaminés fédéraux, AADNC applique un processus en 10 étapes. Afin d’aider à connaître la progression à l’égard des sites dans les T.N.-O., les étapes sont regroupées sous l’une des cinq étapes suivantes : évaluation, activités préalables à l’assainissement (site prioritaire), assainissement, surveillance et assainissement terminé/fermeture. Évaluation (19 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 1 : AADNC cerne les sites qui pourraient être contaminés d’après les activités (passées ou présentes) menées sur ce site ou à proximité.Étape 2 : AADNC recueille et examine toutes les données historiques se rapportant au site.Étape 3 : AADNC amorce les essais, ce qui permet de commencer à définir le type de contamination au site et de déterminer la condition de ce dernier.Étape 4 : AADNC classifie le site contaminé au moyen du Système national de classification (SNC) des sites contaminés du Conseil canadien des ministres de l’Environnement (CCME). Il est ensuite possible d’attribuer un ordre de priorité au site en vue des activités futures d’analyse, d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque.Activités préalables à l’assainissement (site prioritaire) (63 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 5 : AADNC mène des essais dans les zones préoccupantes relevées à l’étape 3 et procède à une étude et à une analyse plus approfondies.Étape 6 : AADNC révise la classification de la priorité du site, au besoin et en fonction des résultats de l’analyse. Étape 7 : AADNC fait appel à des partenaires, aux collectivités autochtones et aux parties prenantes afin d’élaborer un plan d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque propre au site en vue du traitement des problèmes de contamination.Assainissement (4 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 8 : AADNC met en œuvre le plan d’assainissement ou de gestion du risque propre au site en vue du traitement des problèmes de contamination.Étape 9 : AADNC procède à l’échantillonnage de confirmation et à l’analyse pour confirmer la réussite des activités d’assainissement.Surveillance (9 sites dans les T.N.-O.)Étape 10 : AADNC mène une surveillance à long terme afin de veiller à l’atteinte des objectifs d’assainissement et de gestion durable du risque, suivant les besoins.Une fois les activités d’assainissement terminées à un site, il est possible de fermer ce dernier (assainissement terminé/fermeture, 14 sites dans les T.N.-O.).Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur les sites contaminés connus, visitez le site suivant : http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/fra/1100100026218/1100100026222.L’assainissement des sites contaminés dans les T.N.-O. a été mis en œuvre grâce à l’appui du Plan d’action pour les sites contaminés fédéraux (PASCF), programme visant à réduire le risque pour la santé humaine et l’environnement ainsi que le fardeau financier fédéral associé aux sites contaminés fédéraux.
