WCS Canada comments to Great Bear on proposed mine
Scrafford, M.
Key points
- Reduce vehicle traffic to decrease wildlife collisions and keep a database of where collisions are taking place to provide additional future mitigation methods.
- Reduce the speeds that mining vehicles can drive within the project area, particularly in winter and at night, to reduce collisions with wildlife.
- Cease project activities in the northwest corner of the Dixie property during the denning period (Feb 15 – May 15).
- Reduce human activity in the northwest corner of the property during all times of the year.
- Coordinate with the government (MECP, MNRF) on habitat management within F07’s AOC. AOCs should apply to all industrial activity rather than just forestry.
