Thanks to all who have responded so far to my inquiry about EIA with MI. The
feedback has been really helpful! I was wondering if anyone would know where
to access digital maps/data of Canadian "environmentally sensitive/protected
area" as well as migratory bird routes( if these exists??).
TIA,
Natalie Swayze

Hi,
My name is Gilbert Haché, I work for the Miramichi Planning District
Commission (Part of the Local gov. and environnment department) in NB. We
are currently working on such maps at this moment. Service New Brunswick has
create a topo map of all topographic feature in the province. Lakes, rivers,
swamps, tower, power lines, etc. We also have all the property files. Since
the province use the software Caris (which was designed for hydro
application and not Environnmental studies, that you can be sure off!) I
transfer all files in Mapinfo. I Geocoded the data from environnment which
was a little tricky because all We had was a survey in a Excell with UTM
coordinates of more then one UTM zone on a double stereo projection. Anyway,
We have all the data overlaying one an other. All topo feature are on
different layers (separate mapinfo files).
Ex: right side of river and left side are on two different layer. We can
easily concatenate them as we need. It's also very practical for the dispay
parameter when you zoom in an out.
So, We have all wet land, power lines tower, Sensitive area, slopes, etc.
All we have to do is create a buffer of the necessery size on the feature
according to the bylaw. When someone come to for a permit. We see exactly
his property and if there a zone where someone is not suppose to be in.
Since the laws are always changing, We can easily change the size of the
buffer or the metadata in a few minutes.
Hope to have been of some help
Gilbert Haché
Bonne Chance!

Objet : Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) with MI
Hello all,
I'm looking at using MI to assist in the EIA process for Industry
Canada-Spectrum management. As of right now, radio licence applicants must
comply to certain criteria in order to be granted a licence( 30m+ from a
water body, distance from buildings etc.). If these requirements aren't met
an EIA is triggered. As of right now, there is no process for verifying
whether the conditions are met( the applicant merely submits an attestation
form), but we are interested in potentially using MI analytical tools for
this purpose.
If anyone has any suggestions I love to hear them, and I can fill you in or
any other necessary information as well.
TIA
