Marmora Clean Energy Hub Project

Key considerations: 

• What research was conducted to establish that the Common Nighthawk, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and Eastern Whip-poor-will should be downgraded from threatened to a special concern?  
• With the extensive fencing installed along the #7 highway to protect turtles what steps will be taken to protect the turtle population in this area?

Attention to: 

• The effects on the wildlife in the area with this project.
• The language in the research documents needs to be specific and fact based.
• The future protection plans that will be put in place.

Recommendation: 

• Provide documentation of research being conducted in the field and on what species.
• Provide documentation of species/environments at risk
• Provide details of future protection plans for wildlife species being put at risk.

Other concerns:

• Effects on other ecosystems that have populated that area. 
• What species will/ will not be researched on the project?
• Will ongoing monitoring/studying be conducted in this area to bring awareness of any issues in the future?
• Will there be Land Guardians to monitor our wildlife populations and ensure that they aren't being put at risk?
