  2. BSStRPA To develop a strategic plan of action for the Beaufort Sea and coastal transition zone in preparing for another wave of oil and gas development following the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project

  3. Background June 2004 • The Inuvialuit Game Council contacted the Minister of Environment, to address their concerns regarding the environmental assessment of offshore oil and gas development in the Beaufort Sea • A Memorandum to Cabinet for a Mackenzie Gas project provided funds for several government departments to develop a strategic plan of action for the Beaufort Sea and coastal transition zone • Departments asked to develop a “Regional Plan of Action” by March 31, 2007

  4. Background (con’t) March 2005 • An Inuvik workshop launched the process to develop the Beaufort Sea Strategic Regional Plan of Action (BSStRPA) • The process was to be led by the Inuvialuit Game Council • BSStRPA would take a community-based approach to the identification of regional needs with respect to planning for future offshore oil and gas development, and the actions needed to address them • Community presentations Feb. 2006 Nahidik • March 2006 SCE Inuvik Workshop • Community presentations February 2007 Nahidik

  5. BSSTRPA Objectives • Protect the environment from significant adverse impacts of proposed developments; • Protect & promote social, cultural & economic well-being of Inuvialuit communities & residents • Encourage responsible economic development within a sound environmental management framework • Provide a ‘roadmap’ to help clarify the environmental assessment process and resource management regimes offshore • Enable Inuvialuit communities & residents to fully participate in the development of the BSStRPA

  9. Strategic Measures Towards an RPATAC Deliverables to achieve the desired state of preparedness for the strategic regional plan of action • A state of knowledge report for the Beaufort Sea & coastal transition zone environment (EOR for the marine side) • Historical & current science initiatives • Guiding principles framework for prioritizing science gaps Biophysical DFO led

  10. Strategic Measures Towards an RPATAC Deliverables Social/Economic/Cultural IRC led • Collaborate with the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation & DFO to assess the current state of knowledge • Develop socio-economic cultural profiles for BSStRPA communities • Outline communities goals/vision for offshore oil & gas development

  11. Strategic Measures Towards an RPATAC Deliverables Regulatory INAC led • Outline of the existing legislative framework for offshore oil and gas activity • Status of BSSC 1991 recommendations Best Practices CAPP led • Discussion paper on Best Practices • Mitigation tools • Identify gaps

  12. Strategic Measures Towards an RPATAC Deliverables Industry Scenarios INAC led • A list of possible future activities associated with the Petroleum industry • Presentation of potential development scenarios Climate Change EC led • Climate change scenario projections for the 30-year period 2010 to 2039 for the Beaufort region

  13. Strategic Measures Towards an RPATAC Deliverables Cumulative Effects • Outline roles of CEAMF and CIMP • Identify areas where work is required All TACs to Identify the Priority Actions for Implementation

  14. Outcome & Timeline Outcome • Recommendations and advice to various organizations with a role to play in preparing for oil and gas development in the Beaufort Sea. Timeline • First draft of the RPA January 31, 2007 • Final draft of the RPA March 31, 2007

  15. Options for Implementation OAP RCC • BSStRPA is currently in discussions with the Beaufort RCC of the Oceans Action Plan to use their process for the implementation phase • BSStRPA & RCC have the same Steering Committee membership MC4 • IGC to report back to Minister of EC when plan is developed & rely on the existing mandates of government for its implementation • JRP suggests a placeholder for looking at induced development in the offshore
