Notice of Determination

Ottawa, Ontario – July 2, 2024 – The National Capital Commission has determined that the proposed project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects with the application of all recommended mitigation measures.

 

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

• Gender-based analysis plus;
• technically and economically feasible mitigation measures; and,
• the components of the environment that are within the legislative authority of Parliament identified in the "Definitions" section of the Impact Assessment Act.

 

Mitigation measures will be implemented to address potential adverse effects on the following components of the environment:

• migratory birds;
• species at risk;
• groundwater;
• surface water;
• soil quality;
• air quality;
• vegetation;
• human health;
• Gender equality;
• archaeological resources; and,
• historical resources.

 

Some of the mitigation measures considered for this determination are:

• Implement a soil management plan by a qualified consultant to safely remove and dispose of contaminated soil following all federal or provincial regulations.
• Implement tree protection fencing around trees to avoid damage or impacts to critical root zones.
• Conduct archaeological monitoring to prevent the loss or damage to archaeological resources.
• Incorporate heritage considerations into the project to prevent the loss or damage to historical elements.

 

After reviewing the comments received and conducting an internal review of effects, the National Capital Commission is satisfied that the implementation of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, as long as all mitigation measures are applied. Therefore, the National Capital Commission 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.
