Yukon Guide for Developing Water Quality Objectives and Effluent Quality Standards for Quartz Mining Projects
Yukon has developed a guide for Developing Water Quality Objectives and Effluent Quality Standards for Quartz Mining Projects. The “Guide” provides technical and scientific guidance about approaches and procedures for developing Water Quality Objectives (WQOs) for freshwater ecosystems in Yukon. It also describes methods for using the WQOs to derive Effluent Quality Standards (EQSs) that can be applied in water licenses.
Pre-Submission Engagement for Executive Committee Screenings
This User Guide (October, 2022) helps proponents and participants in the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (YESAA) assessment process understand the Pre-Submission Engagement (PSE) process. It sets out information on the PSE process framework and requirements, and on how it was developed. The guide is a working document and will be reviewed and updated periodically.
ATIP: A Guide to Access to Information and Privacy Applications to YESAB
The Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB) is subject to the federal Access to Information Act (ATIA) and Privacy Act (PA) and required to respond to official requests for access to records and personal information, commonly referred to as ATIP requests.
Personal and Relational Safety reports
With the purpose of developing Yukon-specific knowledge in response to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada (“MMIWG”) Calls for Justice, YESAB issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in April 2021 to conduct an Evaluation of the effects of industrial activities on the personal safety of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ persons in Yukon (the study).
The primary objective of the study was to develop a comprehensive research report and assessment tool that would assist YESAB assessors in following key areas:
- Identify the pathway(s) to adverse effects of industrial activities to the personal safety of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ persons (Affected Persons) in Yukon communities and within the industrial workplace;
- Better understand the cause-and-effect relationships of industrial activities on the personal safety of Affected Persons;
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the recently recommended terms and conditions to mitigate the adverse effects of industrial activities on personal safety; and
- Provide current Yukon-specific information to inform future assessments.
- The study was completed in September 2022. YESAB recognizes that further work both internally and externally is needed to implement the study’s recommendations.
