- NWP is committed to sharing the area with other land-uses including Indigenous traditional use, trapping, hunting, and recreation.
- Some Project areas would need to be closed to public access for the duration of the Project. NWP intends to keep this area as small as is practicable. NWP will work with Indigenous peoples, government agencies, and stakeholders to determine a safe but workable boundary. For example, access to Erickson Ridge (to the west of the Project) might be altered but would not need to be restricted.
- Some areas would need to be temporarily closed to public access during blasting. NWP will work with Indigenous peoples, government agencies, and stakeholders to determine processes to keep other land users safe during blasting with as little access restriction as possible. NWP’s team has experience managing blasting within an active snowmobiling area while ensuring everyone’s safety.
- The Project’s plan is to share the Grave Creek Road with other users. While the road would be widened in places to 12 m, some sections would stay at the current width and could only handle one way traffic. For safety, all road users would need to follow BC Resource Road Radio Communications procedures.
