Social Justice Ministry Submissions, R.C. Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith (R.C. Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith, 1989 to 1996)
1 April 1989Regulatory Filing
This multi-part document comprises submissions to government bodies on northern economic development and the proposed Ekati Diamond Mine, spanning 1989-1996. The Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith argues for an economy based on self-reliance, renewable resources, and community control, while critiquing both the inadequacies of wage-dependent development and the foundation of the SCONE report, then later presenting ethical concerns about the BHP Diamond Mine project including inadequate community consultation, environmental risks, and impacts on families and women.

The Intrinsic Difficulty of Predicting Impacts, Lessons from the James Bay Hydro Project (Berkes, 1988)
1 January 1988Report
This academic article examines environmental impact assessment (EIA) failures and successes for the James Bay hydroelectric project in northern Quebec, analyzing six case studies of predicted and unpredicted impacts on Cree and Inuit populations. The author argues that impact prediction is intrinsically difficult due to nonequilibrium systems and identifies the need for more comprehensive ecosystem approaches, integration of social and environmental monitoring, and focus on manageable subsystems rather than linear, mechanistic assessments.

Guidelines for Tailings Impoundment in the Northwest Territories (GNWT, February 1987)
1 February 1987Report
The Northwest Territories Water Board's February 1987 guidelines provide comprehensive technical standards and procedures for designing, constructing, operating, and abandoning tailings impoundment facilities in the unique permafrost environment of the NWT, addressing site selection, design considerations specific to cold regions, construction methods, operational control, and closure planning.

Effects of Instream Mining for Granular Materials on Grayling Habitat in Northern Alaska (DenBeste & McCart, 1986)
~1986Report
Approximate date — inferred from filename
This study compared stream habitats and grayling populations in reaches affected by instream granular materials mining during Trans Alaska Oil Pipeline construction (1974-1977) with undisturbed control reaches in five northern Alaskan streams, finding that mining typically reduced habitat quality, fish size, and biomass, with effects persisting 4-9 years after disturbance, though one exceptional case showed improved juvenile grayling habitat from increased depth.
