Regional and Local Setting Sample Clauses

Regional and Local Setting. The location of the Project site on the Donkin peninsula, as depicted on Figure 1.2, could be considered remote, yet it is within an hour’s travelling time of Sydney. The peninsula, a rough, exposed headland jutting into the Atlantic Ocean, is approximately 9 km2 in area. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx (1996) describe the headland at Donkin as being part of the Sydney Coalfield (Unit 531), one of two units under the Stony and Wet Plain District (530) of the Carboniferous Lowlands Theme Region of Nova Scotia (500). The Sydney Coalfield Unit lies within an area of Pictou-Morien Group sandstones and siltstones rich in coal seams. The area is covered with xxxxx to stony till. Along the coast, coal seams are exposed by the eroding effect of the tides, and beaches in the area, including those at Donkin, are often strewn with plant fossils that are embedded in the eroding shales (Xxxxx and Xxxxxx, 1996). Although the peninsula has many natural attributes and the headland is valued as a local recreational destination and draws the interest of birders, it is not a tourist destination as are the Cape Breton Highlands. It is an attractive peninsula characterized by coniferous forest and wetlands surrounded by wind blown steep sea cliffs; it is also the past site of the preparatory works for a subsea coal mine. The Project is located within CBRM, a municipality that has experienced the closure of both the coal mines and the steel mill, but has demonstrated a resiliency and the ability to adjust and adapt to the resultant changing economic conditions. New investment is occurring in a number of industrial sectors, and there is cause for some optimism for the regional economy. The potential development of the Donkin Resource Block from the peninsula is one of the opportunities that is underpinning the region’s aspirations for the future. The landscape around the mine has been and is influenced by human activity. In the early 1980s, for example, a large settling pond was created to the south of the mine portals by damming a small stream; this changed the hydrology of the area. The work yard around the mine portals, and related areas adjacent the site, was subsequently regraded and partially revegetated by DEVCO. There is also evidence of several homesteads of the headland that predate DEVCO’s activity, the last apparently removed about the time that the tunnels were being developed. The land beyond the old mine workings is largely undisturbed, but criss-crossed by old logging roads and...
