Notice of Determination

February 17, 2025 - Indigenous Services Canada has determined that the proposed fuel upgrades at the Nursing Station in Kasabonika Lake First Nation is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

The determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• Community knowledge; and
• Mitigation measures to address potential impacts resulting from construction activities.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are: 

• Dust Control Measures will be implemented to control air quality. Vehicles and machinery will be in good repair, equiped with emission controls and operated within regulatory requirements. Avoid working during extremely windy days and apply water to access roads on those days;
• Noise Control Measures including the use of noise muffled devices and restricting construction work to regular working hours, will be implemented to reduce and control temporary construction noise disturbances to receptors near the construction site; 

Indigenous Services Canada is satisfied that that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, Indigenous Services Canada may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
