Notice of Determination for the Shellbrook Sand & Gravel Permit

July 21, 2020 - Indigenous Services Canada has determined that the proposed Shellbrook Sand & Gravel Permit is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

The determination was based on the following factors:
 - by Band Council Resolution and application for permit, Sturgeon Lake First Nation requested that Indigenous Services Canada issue a Sand & Gravel permit to the Rural Municipality of Shellbrook for a 3 year period
 -Sturgeon Lake First Nation will receive resource revenue which benefits the First Nation and its membership
 -no public comments were received concerning the project
 -mitigation measures outlined in operation and restoration plan

Implementation of mitigation measures is required for the project to address:
