- The purpose of the Kiggavik FEIS review was to
ensure that the potential impacts and benefits
were comprehensively assessed through best
practices in the areas of - Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit
- Socio-economic
- Scientific and
- Impact assessment
5Kiggavik FEIS Introduction grz
- The original review of the Draft EIS (DEIS) and
the current review of the FEIS outlined a total
of two hundred and seven (207) potential issues.
Of these a total of forty-three (43) issues
remain which are potential Terms Conditions for
inclusion in the NIRB Project Certificate. - The overall objective of the review was to
identify gaps in the FEIS information and in

- The methods and content of the IQ in the FEIS is
improved from the DEIS. - Better integration of IQ was done in relation to
caribou and marine mammals, which resulted in
clarity on community-predicted effects. - Limited Integration of IQ was done in relation to
water, freshwater fisheries, aquatic species,
climate change and health risk. - Additional clarity is needed on who how the
Proponent intends to including IQ/TK in
monitoring.

(KIA-003). - Concern IQ indicates caribou will be affected by
the project in the local study area by noise,
dust, loss of habitat (forages) and human
activity. - Proposed Terms and Conditions

herds (003). - Concern IQ (as well as western science) indicate
low caribou population levels for the Beverly and
Qamanirjuaq and other herds. There is a great
deal of concern and uncertainty about how the
project might affect these herds. - Proposed Terms Conditions
- 1) Monitor the condition and use of known caribou

- Issue Impact of the project on caribou movements
and implications for harvesting (KIA-003 and
004). - Concern IQ holders predict seeing less caribou
due to the road being built on traditional
trails. This will limit access and use of the
area for harvesting. In addition, due to the risk
perception of potential contamination the harvest
and consumption of country food may decline due
to the risk perception of effects on human
health. - Proposed Terms Conditions
- 1) The Proponent should work with the
responsible agencies and groups to balance and
manage the risk perception to the environmental
and human health.

from dust that may come from road travel and the
exposed ore piles continues to be a major
concern. - Concern Further detailed assessment and review
for these key compounds is warranted to provide a
better understanding of their potential impacts.
- Proposed Terms Conditions
- 1) Develop a program to better assess the
emissions of ore being transported from the
Sisson mine and material stored in the ore stock
piles. - Dominant sources are underground mine ventilation
and the open pits (70). The ore stockpiles about
contribute about 12 of the emissions. - These are sources with the greatest uncertainty
in emission estimates.

appropriate for the project. - Terms Conditions Conduct a noise baseline
survey of the project area to confirm the 35

Uncertainy in Effluent Quality Modelled
- Issue The FEIS is not clear what statistics
(geomean, min or max) were used for effluent

Judge Sissons Lake (KIA-NEW-01). - Concern The KIA cannot properly assess the
results of the lake model or impact predictions.
- Proposed Terms Conditions

modeling an enriched effluent scenario (e.g. 75th
percentile concentrations) should also be
modelled as a conservative assessment of impact.

assessments have not been conducted along all
routes (KIA-MAR-03). - Concern Potential impacts are very uncertain so
the monitoring and mitigation need careful
consideration to ensure that any negative impacts
of the Project are not missed due to uncertainty
in the information used to assess potential
impacts. - Terms and Conditions
- 1) If the Proponent decides to consider marine
shipment of yellowcake at any time during the
Project lifetime, the FEIS shall be reopened to
assess potential impacts from marine shipping of
yellowcake.
