The determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:
- impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples

- mitigation measures
Please note that there were no public comments during the 30 day comment period
Implementation of mitigation measures is required for the project to address:

Indigenous Services Canada is satisfied that that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. Environmental effects that are within provincial jurisdiction would be addressed through provincial regulations.
