CONSULTATION FORUMS ON THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING TERRITORIES INCOMPATIBLE WITH MINING ACTIVITIES (TIAM) PARTICIPANT’S GUIDE
What is the purpose of the consultation forums?
The MRC d’Argenteuil is taking a comprehensive look at the question of land-use planning in relation to mining
activities. In a proactive approach, the MRC has asked representatives from the Institut du Nouveau Monde (INM)
to conduct two consultation forums on its territory as part of the process of identifying territories incompatible with
mining activities (TIAMs).
This document is intended to provide basic and objective information to help those interested to prepare for
participation in one of these forums.
The objective of the forums is not to answer questions related to particular cases, but to collectively examine and
discuss the criteria for identifying TIAMs as they relate to the specific characteristics of the Argenteuil region.
About the Institut du Nouveau Monde About the MRC d’Argenteuil
The Institut du Nouveau Monde (INM) is a non-partisan non-profit Located in the Laurentides administrative
organization whose mission is to promote citizen participation and to renew region, the MRC d’Argenteuil is close to the

The territory of the MRC d’Argenteuil has hundreds of lakes and thousands of kilometres of waterways, the three main ones being
the Ottawa River, which marks its southern boundary from west to east, and its tributaries, the Rivière du Nord and the Rouge River.
Forest dominates the landscape and constitutes an important economic activity (55 businesses and 430 jobs). In addition, 35% of
the territory lies within a designated agricultural zone. Agricultural activities and agritourism provide employment for more than 500
people in the MRC. The Argenteuil territory also has an abundance of underground water of exceptional purity.
The MRC has a total population of 33,181 people.
The more urban sectors are in the southeastern part
of the MRC d’Argenteuil, including the core city (City
of Lachute), the Town of Brownsburg-Chatham and
the Municipality of Saint-André-d’Argenteuil. Most of Transparency

Commitment
ENGAGEMENT
Historically, the MRC has always made many
efforts to better understand its natural resources
in order to protect them more effectively and ensure
the sustainable development of the region. While opportunities for development abound and the attractiveness of the region is
growing, the MRC d’Argenteuil has always brought a distinctive character to the various projects implemented on its territory, while
respecting its core values.
Over the years, the MRC has adopted numerous policies and taken several actions to support sustainable land use planning,
including:
• The adoption of a revised land use and development plan (Plan), based on the main principles of sustainable development
(2009);
• The adoption of an Agricultural Zone Development Plan (PDZA) that has served as a reference in the rest of Québec (2011);
• The acquisition of farmland in 2013, for the establishment of a community agriculture project that has won three awards
and distinctions at the national level;
• The adoption of a Waste Management Plan (PGMR) 2013-2020 that promotes, among other things, the circular economy
(2015);
• The adoption of a Strategy for the Conservation of Argenteuil’s Natural Environments whose purpose it to select a realistic
and efficient network of natural environments of interest (2016);
• The development of an ecological network stemming from this Strategy, and its integration in the Plan as an urban planning
management tool (2017);
• The implementation of a program to protect lakes and rivers against aquatic exotic invasive plants (2017-2018);
• The production of a guide to Argenteuil bird-watching sites, one of the first ornithological publications by an MRC in Québec
(2018), and the establishment of observation sites and an extensive network of almost 350 nesting boxes.

The Mining Act and
government guidelines
Québec is known for the quantity and quality of its underground mineral resources. Québec’s mining sector experienced something
of a boom in the early 2010s, due in part to the development of the Plan Nord by the Liberal government of the day. At the same
time, voices were raised questioning the contribution of the mining industry to the Québec economy.
In December 2013, the Government of Québec adopted the Act to amend the Mining Act, in order to “better reflect the concerns
of citizens, the municipal sector, environmental groups and industry”1. This Act also amended Section 6 of the Act respecting land
use planning and development, allowing an MRC to delimit, in its Plan, mining-incompatible territories (TIAM) under the meaning of
Section 304.1.1 of the Mining Act. This legislative amendment was followed by government land-use planning guidelines (GLPG) in
2016.
What is a TIAM?
Under the meaning of the Mining Act, a mining-incompatible territory (territoire incompatible avec l’activité minière or TIAM)
is a territory in which the viability of activities (urban, residential, agricultural, etc.) would be compromised by the impacts of
mining, whether such territories are located on private or public land.
When delimiting incompatible territories, MRCs must comply with the land use planning guidelines, in particular those pertaining to
“ensuring harmonious coexistence of mining activities with other land uses”, drawn up by the Québec Government.
These guidelines provide a framework for the application of the power granted by the Act to MRCs, and to towns and
agglomerations that exercise certain powers of MRCs, to delimit mining-incompatible territories in their land use and development
plans.
As set out in the Act respecting land use planning and development, the government must give its opinion as to the compliance of
the amendments to the Plan with government guidelines, in particular those concerning mining activities which read as follows:
Guideline: Ensuring the harmonious coexistence of mining activities with other land uses
• Objective 1: Protect activities whose viability would be compromised by the impacts of mining activity, based on
community land uses and concerns
Expectation 1.1: Identify and delimit mining-incompatible territories
Expectation 1.2: Understand and consider the community’s concerns
Expectation 1.3: Understand and consider mining rights
• Objective 2: Foster the development of mineral resources by harmonizing different land uses
Expectation 2.1 : Structure the introduction of sensitive uses close to mining sites2

What can be identified as a
TIAM?
A territory recognized as urbanized by local municipalities may be identified as a TIAM in whole or in part, without prior justification.
On the other hand, a territory outside urbanization perimeters, whether agricultural, natural or a vacation area, must meet the
criteria set out in the government guidelines.
Thus, an MRC • Presence of at least one activity among the following seven categories: urban
and residential; historical, cultural or heritage; agricultural; agritourism; intensive
can classify a recreational tourism; conservation; or withdrawal of underground or surface water for
territory as a TIAM the purpose of human consumption;
if it meets all the • This activity must be difficult to relocate. An activity is difficult to relocate when its
location cannot be changed without compromising its maintenance, continuation and
following criteria: purpose for technical, economic, environmental, social, heritage or historical reasons;
• Maintaining the activity is of interest to the community;
• The viability of the activity would be compromised by the impacts of mining activities.
The MRC may also provide for a protective strip within which mining activity will also be prohibited. This will be added around the
identified perimeter. The protective strip around an urbanized area may be up to 1 kilometre wide, while that around a residential
sector in a non-urbanized area may be up to 600 metres wide. This strip will be automatically included within the TIAM.
The government will also apply the principle of reciprocity in analyzing the proposals for TIAMs, that is, once the amendment to the
MRC Plan has been presented to the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation (MAMH), the Ministry will ensure that
it complies with the expectations and objectives of the government guidelines. It is therefore the Québec Government’s decision
whether to approve any TIAMs identified by the MRC that lie outside urbanization perimeters.
We invite you to visit the “TIAM” section at argenteuil.qc.ca where you will find:
• an interactive map showing the application of all government criteria for delimiting TIAMs;
• an atlas of theme maps showing the different elements that can be classified as TIAMs.

process for TIAMs
Here are the steps the MRC d’Argenteuil must complete in order to exclude portions of its territory from mining.
STEP NOTES
Temporary suspension An MRC may identify in advance the territories it deems incompatible Already completed
with mining activities, in accordance with government guidelines,
in order to request a temporary suspension of staking and map
designation on the land in question for a period of six months,
renewable every six months3.
In 2017, the MRC d’Argenteuil obtained a temporary suspension from
the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles (MERN) for
an initial 6-month period, which was later renewed. The suspension is
currently still in effect and covers almost 80% of the territory of the MRC
d’Argenteuil.
This step allows the MRC to begin the regulatory process in the
knowledge that the territories in question will not be open to claims or
exploration.
The TIAM section at argenteuil.qc.ca provides a link showing the
boundaries of the areas covered by the temporary suspension.
Consultation forums This step is an opportunity for the public to discuss the criteria for Underway
determining TIAMs, and to approve them or propose other criteria and
(participatory democracy) issues to be taken into consideration in the MRC d’Argenteuil’s ongoing
exercise to identify TIAMs on its territory.

6. If the Government finds that the by-law does not comply with the
guidelines, the MRC may make any required corrections and adopt
a replacement by-law.
7. Following the coming into force of the by-law amending the Plan,
the nine local municipalities must amend their own planning by-
laws in order to integrate the changes made to the Plan.

6Current status of mineral resources in the
MRC d’Argenteuil
Various sources of information indicate that the MRC d’Argenteuil region contains mainly metamorphic graphite deposits,
several of which are found in the Grenville Province geological region. The Grenville orogeny favoured the formation of graphite
deposits associated with gneiss, quartzites and schists on the North Shore (Lac Knife, Lac Guérêt) or associated with graphitic
marbles in the Mont-Laurier (Lac-des-Îles) and Gatineau regions. This type of deposit is a source of flake graphite, one of three
forms of natural graphite along with amorphous graphite and vein graphite.
Graphite mining took place in the Outaouais and Laurentides regions around 1845. Property in the Municipality of Grenville-
sur-la-Rouge recently attracted the interest of mining company Canada Carbon because of the possible presence of graphite
and architectural-quality marble. The company, which holds claims in non-urbanized sectors of the municipality, is seeking to
establish an open pit mine there. The project, known as the Miller Project, was officially recognized as a developmental mining
project by the MERN in 2017. The Miller Project is currently under litigation.
According to the MERN directory, there are 94 active mining titles (claims) on MRC d’Argenteuil territory, none of which is
currently being exploited. Several steps must be completed before a mine can operate, generally beginning with the acquisition
of a claim, followed by exploration.
Positive and negative effects of mining
The issues surrounding mining activity are numerous and complex; they are also specific to the environment in which the mining
project is being developed and the way in which the site is operated. Their impacts can be analyzed in terms of the three major
components of sustainable development: social, environmental and economic. This section is intended to fuel your reflection on
some facts about the mining industry.
Social aspects: did you know…
• A region in decline can be revitalized by the arrival of a mining operation. Not only does the influx of workers help stimulate
the local economy, the arrival of high-quality, well-paid jobs (an average annual salary of $119,334 in 2017)4 also makes
it possible for residents to continue to live there, when they might otherwise have been forced to leave their home region
(source INM);
• In some regions of Québec, the presence of a mine encourages the retention of young workers in the region and provides job
training and employment for Indigenous populations. In this regard, having high-quality employment promotes psychological
and physical health; the relation to territory differs from person to person5 ;
• The extraction and transportation of ore, when carried out near urban areas, can cause significant nuisance to neighbouring
residents. Blasting and trucking can result in high noise levels and a significant volume of dust that can affect the well-being,
and even the health, of residents (source INM);
• According to the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the health effects of noise associated with open
pit mining can lead to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stress, anxiety, fatigue, loss of sleep, and more. These effects
on health are felt when noise levels reach 35 to 40 decibels. Up to 25-30% of the population may be affected by noise levels
of 40 to 55 decibels6 ;
• According to the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the current Québec standard for fine dust
particles is 30 micrograms (millionths of a gram) per cubic metre of air (μg/m3). Every 10 μg/m3 increase is associated
with 1% more hospital admissions among people with acute exposure to fine dust (hours or days), and to a 4% increase in
mortality among people with chronic exposure to fine dust. This rises to 22% to 32% for those already suffering from other
diseases (diabetes, pulmonary obstruction, heart failure, etc.)7 ;

7• The arrival of a mining operation can also reduce the property value of the houses close to the mine , in part due to nuisance
(noise, dust, etc.)8;
• Regarding transportation, the presence of a mine site is likely to mean increased heavy trucking, road congestion and
accelerated wear of road infrastructure. While mining companies sometimes pay for new infrastructures leading to their
exploitation site, a mine may be established near an urbanized area already equipped with an adequate road network
(source INM).
•
Environmental aspects: did you know…
• The impact of mining activity on the immediate environment is undeniable. This is even more true of open pit mines. Indeed,
mine pits often disrupt local wildlife routes. They also disfigure the landscape and can affect soil and water quality across
the territory (source INM);
• While non-metal mines do not create as much toxic waste as metal mines, they still require space for storing the tailings.
Historically, mining companies have often been reluctant when it comes time to backfill the open mine pit, due in part to the
high cost9. Since the coming into force of the Act amending the Mining Act (2013), the granting of a mining lease by the
government is contingent on the submission of a rehabilitation and restoration plan by the mining company. This reduces the
risk that the State will end up with several abandoned mine sites that it must restore at its own expense.10 However, there are
several risks associated with the rehabilitation of a mine site, especially considering the possible points of contact with
groundwater. Pits also take several years to fill naturally (source INM);
• No other human activity produces as much waste as the mining industry, proportionally speaking. It generally takes several
tons of raw ore to produce a few kilograms of pure metal. All the rest is rejected. In Québec, mining operations generate
about 100 million tons of solid waste per year11 ;
• Acid mine drainage is the main environmental problem associated with mining operations. Obtaining valuable ore requires
the extraction of a large quantity of rock with no economic value. This waste rock is stored on the mine site in open-air rock
piles. Waste rock often contains sulphur-bearing minerals that oxidize on contact with water and air to form sulphuric acid,
which acidifies the runoff water;
• Not only can waste rock piles produce an outflow of water that is too acidic for the environment and local ecosystems
(severely affecting surrounding plant and animal life), this water also contains toxic substances leached from the rock12 ;
• Mining activity is a significant source of greenhouses gases. Mineral extraction requires the use of many heavy vehicles. The
use of cement for backfilling underground mines requires a significant amount of energy. Finally, mine sites in remote areas
must generate their own power using fossil fuels. For example, in 2008, mining was responsible for 4.5% of Canada’s
industrial greenhouse gas emissions13 .

8Economic aspects: did you know…
• In 2017, the minerals sector directly and indirectly contributed $97 billion, or 5%, to Canada’s total nominal gross domestic
product (GDP)14 ;
• Internationally, Canada is one of the leading mining countries and one of the largest producers of minerals and metals.
The industry accounted for 19% of the value of Canadian goods exports in 2017, selling a diversified array of minerals and
metals abroad15 ;
• In Québec, about 600 companies are active at various stages of mining development (exploration, extraction, primary
transformation). These companies contributed $4.8 billion to Québec’s economy in 2008, or 1.6 % of the province’s GDP16 ;
• The manufacturing sector, including equipment manufacturers, is an area where Québec exports have grown strongly in
recent years: exports of mining machinery rose from $65 million to $196 million between 2000 and 2008, an increase of
more than 200%. This remains a very modest contribution on the scale of Québec exports, which amounted to more than
$59 billion in 2010, but it is an area of activity with interesting potential for Québec, and can help mining regions make up for
the low periods sometimes experienced by extractive businesses17 ;
• In 2009, the Auditor General of Québec mentioned the existence of many abandoned mines whose restoration costs,
estimated at $264 million at the time, would be borne by the State. This was only a partial assessment: today the Ministère
des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune estimates the restoration costs at $891.6 million, with an additional $338 million
set aside for sites that could potentially become the responsibility of the State. The government could therefore be forced to
spend more than a billion dollars to restore so-called “orphaned” mine sites18 ;
• Over the decade 2000-2010, mining royalties earned the Government of Québec only $289 million, an average of $28.9
million per year. There was even a negative year in 2008-2009 (due to industry tax credits). Over the decade, mining royalties
accounted for 0.7 % of gross production value19 ;
• In its 2010-2011 budget, the Government of Québec increased mining royalties from 12% to 16% of profits. The provincial
budget also announced changes to many measures that allow mining companies to reduce or defer their tax burden, a
significant source of tax losses for the State20 .
