The Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) Department of Lands (Lands) has developed this template of a Quarry Development Plan (QDP) for the Northwest Territories to identify the information required to efficiently process quarry permit applications and to apply consistent standards to the design and operation of quarries.
A Quarry Development Plan is to describe the design and operation of the quarry from initial development through to final reclamation. A QDP is intended to be complementary, not duplicative, to the terms and conditions contained in regulatory authorizations (licences or permits).
The Cumulative Impact Monitoring Framework is an operational guide for NWT CIMP to develop science monitoring and research that can predict cumulative impacts and support effective resource management decision-making in the NWT. The NWT’s vast geographic scale and remoteness require that NWT CIMP’s resources are directed towards developing a predictive understanding of cumulative impacts, rather than conducting comprehensive long-term monitoring.
The Northwest Territories Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program (NWT CIMP) conducted a survey in August and September 2024 to ensure that it continues to align with partner needs and priorities. NWT CIMP’s mandate is to understand cumulative impacts and environmental change and to provide useful information for resource management decision-making.
