The Sahtu Land Use Planning Board has released a Pteliminary Draft
Land Use Plan. No approved Land Use Plan exists. However, the
proposed project area does encounter two Special Management Areas;
the Mackenzie River Special Management Area and the Marion Lake
Area. In these IQCSdOnS terms and conditions may be placed on the
appropriate land use permits, water licences or other autherizatioris to
conduct work, though many of these Terms and Conditions are already
applied within the Sahtu Settlement Area and are often industry identified
