Book excerpt: "This is an application for quarrying permits under Section 12 of the Territorial Quarrying Regulations. It is being submitted to Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), pursuant to Section 8 of the Territorial Lands Act, by Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Limited (Imperial). The activities in this application pertain to the borrow sites that will be required in the Sahtu Settlement Area (SSA) and Dehcho Region (DCR) on Crown land in the Northwest Territories for the Mackenzie Gas Project (MGP). The maps listed in Appendix C show the proposed Crown borrow sites in the SSA and DCR. The application is intended to permit removal of material from each borrow site for the period of time indicated for each site (see Table 1-5 and Table 1-6). This application is part of a suite of applications that are being submitted by Imperial, which include: applications to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVLWB) for land use activities on Crown land in the SSA and DCR; an application to Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA) of the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) to permit borrow site activities on Commissioner's land in the SSA; an application to the Town of Norman Wells to permit borrow site activities on land under the administration of the town; applications to the K'ahsho Got'ine Lands Corporation Ltd. and the Tulita District Land Corporation Ltd. to permit borrow site activities in the SSA on private land in addition to the applications, an environmental impact statement (EIS) has been filed with the Joint Review Panel (JRP) for the project. The EIS addresses the biophysical and human environment aspects of the entire project, including the activities described in this application. ... The borrow site development activities on SSA Crown land will take place on lands that have been designated in the Sahtu Preliminary Draft Land Use Plan (SPDLUP) for general use or special management. The land use designation is identified for all of the sites in this application (see Appendix B). Some of the proposed borrow site development activities on DCR land are subject to a time-limited withdrawal from new subsurface, or surface and subsurface, interests under one of two federal Privy Council orders (withdrawal orders). These orders were issued under section 23 of the Territorial Lands Act subsequent to the Interim Measures Agreement (IMA) between the Dehcho First Nations (DCFN) and the federal and territorial governments, dated May 2001. One of the Dehcho withdrawal orders is for Edéhzhie or Home Plateau (P.C. 2002-1805). The other is intended to facilitate the settlement of the DCFN land claim (P.C.2003-1230). Both include provision for a corridor for the gas pipeline and associated infrastructure and both have an initial term of about five years. The status of the land that is associated with the proposed borrow site development activities relative to the withdrawal orders is identified in this application (see Appendix B and the foldout maps in Appendix C). In addition, land use zones that were proposed in the November 2005 version of the draft Dehcho land use plan are shown for the borrow site development activities in this application (see Appendix B). This draft is entitled Respect for the Land: The Dehcho Land Use Plan, Revised Draft Plan - November 2005"--Introd.
