The Proposed Action consists of the redevelopment of the North Base Industrial Area. The redevelopment includes the construction of; Auto/Skills Center, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operations Center, and a Vehicle Maintenance Complex, a new Hazardous Waste Storage Facility and an Outdoor Recreational Center with recreational vehicle storage area. Four existing buildings (1329, 1330, 1331 and 1332) would be demolished as part of the redevelopment proposal. The entrance into Durand Loop will be modified to allow expansion into the area between Durand Loop and Lee Road. Additional recreational vehicle parking would be constructed in the undeveloped area at the south comer outside Durand Loop. Existing facilities (Buildings 1346 and 1352) within the North Base Industrial Area would remain. Nine resource categories received thorough evaluation to identify potential environmental consequences. As indicated Chapter 4.0, none of the alternatives considered would result in significant impacts to any resource category analyzed.

Supreme Court of Canada decisions have defined a general framework for the "duty to consult" Aboriginal peoples and accommodate their concerns over natural resource development, but anticipate the details of that framework will be expanded upon in the future. Aboriginal Consultation, Environmental Assessment, and Regulatory Review in Canada offers a paradigm that advances that discussion. It proposes an integrated and robust planning model for natural resource extraction allowing Aboriginal peoples, industry, governments, tribunals, and the Courts to all make contributions to reconciliation in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection. Kirk Lambrecht surveys the law of actual and asserted Aboriginal rights and historical and modern Treaty rights in Canada and discusses the national and international purposes of environmental assessment and regulatory review. He appraises the fundamental principles of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence defining aboriginal consultation and accommodation as a constitutional imperative and uses case studies involving the National Energy Board to demonstrate how integrated process has evolved over time. Finally he offers general conclusions on the practical utility, and outstanding challenges, involving an integrated planning paradigm.
