The following commitments in Table 8.3 have been revised or added to address comments from the City of Hamilton and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation:

• Continue to consult and engage Indigenous communities involved during the SCRF EA (i.e. Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council, and Metis Nation of Ontario) as appropriate (e.g. notification of project updates, opportunity to participate in site tours, involvement in habitat restoration, circulation of Environmental Management Plan). 

• Diligently examine future requests by the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation for ongoing consultation following EA Act approval of the proposed Undertaking including but not limited to site tours and monitoring or habitat restoration, at the First Nations request.

• Provide the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for their review and input, for Terrapure’s consideration.

• Continue to consult with the City of Hamilton on the groundwater monitoring program as part of future annual monitoring.

• Prepare a Truck Operations Monitoring Framework describing proposed driver training and awareness strategies, in consultation with the City of Hamilton; and maintain the Framework during construction and operations of the SCRF.
