Porcupine River Watershed Remedial Action Plan - Phase One
The First Phase of the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) details the history of the watershed, and details its main issues, such as the destruction of habitats, nutrient enrichment, ecosystem instability, bacterial contamination, and persistent toxic contaminants. The goal of the RAP's phase one is to develop a management framework for the long-term assessment and monitoring of the Porcupine River Watershed. This framework would also detail a program of remediation and restoration through the implementation of specific programs and projects directed at impaired beneficial uses. Impaired beneficial uses are referred to as ecosystem services whose integrity is jeopardized due to changes in the chemical, physical, or biological ecological constituents, which are identified and discussed further in Chapter 3.

The Second Phase of the RAP will continue to work with all stakeholders from the First Phase, including provincial ministries, local government, local industry and concerned NGO’s, to move forward with the short- and long-term remediation and restoration projects. Past studies and surveys, current management programs and identified data gaps would continue to be catalogued, analyzed and used towards the development and implementation of long-term project initiatives. The Second Phase of the RAP will benefit the entire community by improving water quality and rejuvenating impacted shoreland areas throughout the Porcupine River Watershed.
