The objectives of this baseline study related to the Suncor South Tailings Pond Application were to document historical and current land use, the concerns of land users, and to provide information to help minimize the impacts of the Project. For the local study area, this was accomplished through interviews in 2002 and 2003 with eight trapline holders directly affected by the project and a helicopter fly-over. Interviews used a standardized set of questions to elicit information on plant harvesting, fishing, hunting, trapping, cabins, trails, access routes, and issues and concerns. For the regional study area, information was obtained through historical reports written by or with Fort McKay First Nation, a review of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation's involvement at hearing with the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, and historical reports for the community of Fort Chipewyan. The results of the literature review for Fort McKay First Nation, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the community of Fort Chipewyan are brief. The results of the trapper interviews are broken down by Registered Fur Management Area first and by potentially affected component, such as fishing or plant harvesting, second. The authors note in conclusion that most of the traditional knowledge and land use collected in association with the Suncor South Tailings Pond Project can be found in the environmental impact assessment.
