  • ECCC Input Comments Table Section from d/TISG (April 15, 2021) Proposed Edits to Agency Text Additions in bold; deletions in strikethrough from the Agency’s original text. Rationale Air Quality 8.4.1 Atmospheric environment 8.4.1.1 Baseline conditions Page 27 The Impact Statement must:  provide an assessment of the ambient air quality in the Project, LSA and RSA, including for Elk Island National Park and Beaverhill Lake, and identify existing emissions and contaminant sources using the most recent emissions data available; Suggest explicitly stating Beaverhill Lake be included in the ambient air quality assessment, LSA and RSA because it is a Ramsar site located 60 km SE of the Project. Simulations in Makar et al. (2018)1 show acidifying emissions reaching as far south east as Beaverhill Lake and beyond. The most recent data (i.e., data up to 2019) should be used to ensure the results meaningfully inform the baseline assessment. 8.4.1 ...
