Environmental review project description form
ISC is required to ensure that projects and/or activities that occur on reserve lands or are funded by the department
do not cause significant adverse environmental effects. This form gathers the preliminary information required to assist in the determination of
the potential effects from a proposed project prior to the department enabling the project to proceed. This form will also help determine if
further information and/or further review is required. For more information please visit:

Statutory authorizations enable the provision of a service by ISC that is defined by legal structure, such as the Indian Act (e.g., a timber permit). |
• |
Non-statutory authorizations enable the discretionary provision of a service by ISC that is not defined by any legal structure. However, non-statutory programs are often implemented to better support a statutory service (e.g., capital funding for road-building or housing that supports the statutory obligation that reserves are “to be held for use and benefit of Indians”).
It is not uncommon that one project will have both statutory (e.g., permits) and non-statutory (e.g., economic development funding) elements. In this case, please select “statutory” as this demonstrates that the Environmental Review Process will be applied to meet legislated obligations under the Impact Assessment Act, as opposed to a policy-based application. It is the program officer's responsibility to have knowledge of the legal nature of their program and explore all other necessary permits/authorizations that may be required before the project can proceed. Please consult with the regional environment officer to assist if questions remain.
For more information on which programs are in place to allow the department to meet its statutory obligations, please consult with your sector's Funding Services branch or ISC's Annual Financial Overview (https://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1359563865502/1359564020015). |
