IMPORTANT NOTICE Interim Guidelines on Land Development Projects
Over the past year, Atikameksheng Anishnawbek has been in the process of developing
a Land Use Plan and Environmental Management System for the community, which will
be implemented under the Land Management Code and through community ratification.
The ratification process for the Land Use Plan is scheduled to occur in the first quarter
of 2015 to establish an Approved Land Use Plan for the community. As an interim
measure, all new land use and development activities will, as of December 1, 2014,
require the review and approval of the Chief and Council of Atikameksheng
Anishnawbek, through an interim review process that will be administered through the
Lands Department. The aim of this approach will be to ensure that new developments
are in adherence to the Draft Land Use Plan as presented to the community on June
16, 2014, and will comply with any proposed zoning bylaws that have been drafted to
date. A second community presentation has also taken place on the Land Use Plan on
the evening of December 11, 2014.
As outlined in the Draft Land Use Plan, special considerations will be given to
development applications located within the Biodiversity Conservation Zone, and the
Cultural Heritage Zone. Within the Community Development Zone, the impact of
development applications will be evaluated based on principles to ensure the protection
of the environment. Within un-zoned, undeveloped land on reserve, development
applications will consider environmental impacts and impacts on residential, commercial
and industrial land uses.
Following community ratification of the Environmental Assessment Law being
developed which is anticipated to occur in early 2015, Atikameksheng Anishnawbek
administration will initiate a review process for all existing businesses, cottage lot
owners and land stewards. Those who initiate voluntary compliance during the Interim
Review Process will be rewarded through a 10% reduction on the proposed Registration
Fee required for the Initial Lands Screening process.
Attached to this message is Annex F – Interim Environmental Assessment Process -
taken from the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek 2008 Land Management Code - Individual
Agreement. This has been approved for use by the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek
Council at the December 3, 2014 Band Council Meeting. If you have questions or
require additional information about the implementation of the Interim Guidelines,
please contact Esther Osche, Lands Manager.

ANNEX F
INTERIM ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS
(1) The Parties agree that the provisions on environmental assessment in this
Annex are without prejudice to any subsequent environmental assessment
process they may agree upon in accordance with Clause 25.1 of the
Framework Agreement for incorporation in First Nation laws respecting
environmental assessment. The provisions in this Annex apply until replaced
by First Nation laws respecting environmental assessment.
(2) When the First Nation is considering the approval, regulation, funding or
undertaking of a project on First Nation land that is not described in the
exclusion list as defined in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, S.C.
1992, c. 37, as amended (the “CEA Act”), the Council of the First Nation shall
ensure that an environmental assessment of the project is carried out, at the
expense of the First Nation or the proponent, in accordance with a process
that is consistent with that of the CEA Act. Such assessment shall be carried
out as early as practicable in the planning stages of the project before an
irrevocable decision is made.
(3) The First Nation shall not approve, regulate, fund, or undertake the project
unless the Council has concluded, taking into consideration the results of the
environmental assessment, any economically and technically feasible
mitigation measure identified as necessary during the assessment, and any
public comments received during the assessment, that the project is unlikely
to cause any significant adverse environmental effects or that any such
effects are justifiable under the circumstances
(4) If the First Nation approves, regulates, funds, or undertakes the project, the
First Nation shall ensure that all mitigation measures referred to in clause are implemented at its expense or it is satisfied that another person or body
will ensure their implementation. The Council shall also consider whether a follow-up program, as defined in the CEA Act, is appropriate in the circumstances and if so, shall design a follow-up program and ensure its implementation.
