6.88 Notwithstanding 6.86, the YTG shall not be responsible for assessment or Remediation where a First Nation could reasonably have taken measures that would have prevented the Impact from occurring.

APPROACH TO ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION

6.89 Where a First Nation believes that an Impact is attributable to a Contaminant, New Contaminant or Aspect, it may so notify the YTG in accordance with 6.90.

6.90 A notification from a First Nation to the YTG pursuant to 6.89 shall be in writing and shall include:

(a) evidence of the Contaminant, New Contaminant or Aspect;

(b) evidence of the Impact; and

(c) any information the First Nation has respecting present and historical land use at the site that may be related to the Contaminant, New Contaminant or Aspect.

6.91 The YTG shall review the information provided by the First Nation pursuant to 6.90 and where it concludes that there is or may be an Impact, it shall determine:

(a) in the case of an Impact attributable to a Contaminant or New Contaminant,

(i) if a Responsible Party can be identified in relation to the Contaminant or New Contaminant, or

(ii) if a Responsible Party cannot be identified in relation to the Contaminant or New Contaminant, whether the YTG is responsible for assessment at the site pursuant to 6.86; or

(b) in the case of an Impact attributable to an Aspect, if the YTG is responsible for assessment at the site pursuant to 6.86.

6.92 Where the YTG identifies a Responsible Party pursuant to 6.91 and the First Nation has not displaced, through its laws, Part 9 of the Environment Act (Yukon) or any regulations made pursuant to that Part, any assessment or Remediation required in relation to the Impact shall be undertaken as provided for in the Environment Act (Yukon).

6.93 Where the YTG determines that it is responsible for assessment pursuant to 6.91, the YTG shall conduct a site assessment,

(a) as described in the Environment Act (Yukon), in the case of an Impact attributable to a Contaminant or New Contaminant; or

(b) as described in 6.6 and 6.7, in the case of an Impact attributable to an Aspect.

6.94 Where a site assessment indicates that the Impact at the site:

(a) has caused or is likely to cause unsafe conditions or irreparable damage to the natural environment; or

(b) has caused or is likely to cause a threat to public health,

the YTG shall Remediate that Impact in accordance with 6.95.

6.95 Where the YTG determines that Remediation is required pursuant to 6.94, it shall Remediate the Impact using:

(a) in the case of an Impact attributable to a Contaminant or New Contaminant, either numeric restoration standards, as set out pursuant to the Environment Act (Yukon), or risk-based restoration standards as described in CCME Guidelines or as may be described in territorial legislation; and

(b) in the case of an Impact attributable to an Aspect, the process described in 6.8 to 6.10, except that references to 'federal legislation' shall be read as 'territorial legislation'.

6.96 The YTG shall, annually, after seeking the input of First Nations, determine the order of priority for Remediation of sites determined to require Remediation pursuant to 6.94.

6.97 Where the YTG is responsible for assessment or Remediation, as soon as practicable after assessment or Remediation, the YTG shall notify the First Nation that, pursuant to this Part:

(a) it has determined that there are no Impacts requiring Remediation at the site;

(b) it has determined that there are Impacts requiring Remediation at the site and that those Impacts will be Remediated; or

(c) it has determined that all Impacts requiring Remediation at a site have been Remediated.

6.97.1 If an Impact at a site is Remediated by the YTG pursuant to this Part by containment of the Contaminant or New Contaminant, the notice referred to in 6.97 shall specify the time period during which the warranty set out in 6.103 shall apply to that site, which period shall not be less than the engineered life-span of the Remediation, as certified by the professional engineer or other remediation expert responsible for the Remediation.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.98 Where the YTG determines pursuant to 6.91 that it is not responsible for assessment of a site and a First Nation does not agree with the YTG's determination, the matter may be referred to the dispute resolution mechanism set out in 6.99 to 6.102.

6.99 A dispute resolution panel shall be constituted of three (3) members, selected as follows:

Appendix B - YTG-first Nation Agreements (1.39, 2.27 and 5.12.1)

SECTION A - SUCCESSOR RESOURCE LEGISLATION

1.0 Purpose

1.1 This Section sets out the approach to be followed by the YTG and First Nations that are Parties to this Agreement in establishing cooperative working arrangements, pursuant to 2.27 of Chapter 2, in respect of the development of a workplan and preparation of successor resource legislation.

2.0 Background

2.1 While acknowledging the respective authority and jurisdiction of the YTG pursuant to the Yukon Act (Canada) and Yukon First Nations as set out in Yukon First Nation Final Agreements and Self-Government Agreements in respect of certain natural resource management, the YTG and First Nations recognize there may be benefits realized from working together to develop compatible or, where appropriate, common natural resource management and legislative regimes in the Yukon.

3.0 Interpretation

3.1 In this Section, "successor resource legislation" means the initial territorial legislation enacted following the Effective Date pertaining to the land and resource management responsibilities transferred to the YTG pursuant to this Agreement, and for greater certainty, does not mean the territorial legislation enacted on the Effective Date mirroring federal legislation referred to in 2.3, 2.4 or 2.31 or the territorial legislation referred to in 2.6.1 of Chapter 2.

3.2 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as:

(a) limiting or otherwise affecting any authority or jurisdiction of the YTG or First Nations; or

(b) limiting or otherwise affecting the legislative processes of the YTG or First Nations.

4.0 Successor Resource Legislation Working Group

4.1 The YTG and First Nations that are Parties to this Agreement shall create, prior to the Effective Date, a successor resource legislation working group (the "Working Group") consisting of representatives of both the YTG and the First Nations.

4.2 The Working Group shall serve as the cooperative working arrangement between the YTG and First Nations in respect of the development of successor resource legislation following the Effective Date and its overall role shall be to make recommendations to the YTG and First Nations in respect of such legislation, as set out in this Section.

4.3 The Working Group shall initially be responsible for providing recommendations to the YTG and the First Nations in respect of:

(a) priorities for development of successor resource legislation;

(b) any opportunities identified for the development of a common or compatible regime in respect of particular successor resource legislation and First Nations' legislation; and

(c) specific arrangements as may be appropriate for the development of particular successor resource legislation.

4.4 The Working Group shall be responsible for providing recommendations regarding the development of each particular piece of successor resource legislation, however, the specific functions of the Working Group in making such recommendations, following the Effective Date, will vary depending upon:

(a) the subject matter of the legislative regime to be developed;

(b) the respective jurisdictions of the YTG and First Nations;

(c) the extent to which there may be an opportunity to develop common or compatible regimes in respect of the successor resource legislation and First Nations' legislation; and

(d) such other matters as may be appropriate in the circumstances.

4.5 The Working Group shall endeavour to operate on the basis of consensus in developing its recommendations but if there is no consensus, the representatives of the First Nations may make their recommendations to First Nations and the representatives of the YTG may make their recommendations to the YTG.

4.6 The YTG shall, subject to the appropriation of funds by the Legislature, provide First Nations that are Parties to this Agreement with agreed upon financial resources for their participation in the Working Group.

5.0 Public Participation

5.1 the public and with stakeholders is an important element in the development of any successor resource legislation.

6.0 Use of Other Processes

6.1 The YTG and First Nations may agree to:

(a) use other processes or organizations for the purposes of some or all of the working arrangements contemplated in this Section; or

(b) develop other cooperative working arrangements for the development of particular successor resource legislation.

SECTION B - COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL AND POLICY REVIEW

1.0 Purpose

1.1 This Agreement provides for various protections and safeguards for rights and interests of First Nations. The purpose of this Section is to provide additional safeguards by setting out an approach to be followed by the YTG following the Effective Date in respect of its policies, procedures and decisions regarding land and resource management responsibilities transferred to it pursuant to this Agreement, in order to safeguard interests respecting lands and resources for those First Nations having unsettled land claims in the Yukon.

2.0 Interpretation

2.1 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as defining, creating, recognizing, denying or amending the legal status of lands and resources or the existing authority of public government in respect thereof.

2.2 This Section does not preclude the use of other arrangements as may be agreed by the YTG and First Nations to involve First Nations in land and resource management decisions in order to incorporate into public government decision making, consideration of aboriginal rights, interests or title that may exist.

3.0 Application

3.1 This Section establishes a protocol for communication following the Effective Date between First Nations and the YTG in circumstances where a First Nation is of the view that a policy, procedure or decision of the YTG in respect of the land and resource management responsibilities transferred to the YTG pursuant to this Agreement, does not adequately incorporate consideration of aboriginal rights, interests or title that may exist, or does not comply with legal obligations to aboriginal peoples.

3.2 This Section also establishes a process for the YTG to follow prior to and following the Effective Date to obtain First Nations' input into reviews by the YTG of whether government policies and procedures in respect of the land and resource management responsibilities transferred to the YTG pursuant to this Agreement adequately incorporate consideration of aboriginal rights, interests or title that may exist, into public government decision making processes and in the context of evolving case law on aboriginal rights, interests or title, with a view to enhancing effectiveness and efficiency.

3.3 This Section applies to First Nations having unsettled land claims in the Yukon.

4.0 Communications Protocol
