	abstract = {This section of the Project Millennium E.I.A. provides information of Traditional Land Use and Resources Use as required by the Project Terms of Reference. This section addresses the following issues. Identifies the existing and historical aboriginal land uses, including fishing, hunting, traditional plant harvesting, cultural use and outdoor recreation in order to determine the impact of development on these uses and identify possible mitigation strategies. It also identifies the land use, resource management, planning and other initiatives pertinent to the Project, including the Fort McMurray-Athabasca Oil Sands Sub-regional Integrated Resource Plan. This report demonstrates that the development is consistent with the guidelines and objectives of this policy. It identifies the criteria and assumptions used in locating the major project components with consideration of the Integrated Resource Plan. It also identifies any mitigation or research requirements proposed to satisfy the IRP guidelines. This assessment indicates the proposed setbacks from the Athabasca and Steepbank Rivers, and demonstrates that the location of proposed facilities comply with the setbacks established in the IRP. It also identifies unique sites or special features in the study area, such as natural areas, environmentally significant areas or Heritage Rivers. It discusses any impacts of the project on these features and indicates the location and significance of any special places or candidate sites, if present. It identifies the existing land uses, including oil sands development, tourism, forestry, fishing, hunting, cultural use, and outdoor recreation in order to determine the impact of development on these uses and identify possible mitigation strategies. It discusses implications of the project for regional recreational activities, public access and other land uses, during and after development activities. It identifies anticipated impacts on public access for land use in the region. It also discusses how reclamation will replace existing land uses. This traditional land use and resource use section is divided into two main sections: Traditional Land Use and Resources use. Included in sections F3.2, and F3.3 are discussions on the traditional land use baseline and impact assessment. Following those sections, discussions on resources users are provided in Sections F3.4 and F3.5. A final conclusion for this section of the E.I.A. is presented in Section F3.7.},
