Background from Class (0–150 kilowatts) to Class 6 (100,000 kilowatts or more). A Class 0 power project requires a Class B Water Licence (which does not require a public hearing), and Class 1-6 power projects require a Class A water licence (which covers use of groundwater and deposit of waste, and requires a public hearing).33,34 Land and water boards also regulate surface land activities (such as construction of a geothermal plant) as specified in the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act. A Type A land use permit would be required for the construction of roads, drill pads and camps, and the clearing of land for wells, facilities and fuel storage.35 In the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, land use permits can be obtained from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, and on Inuvialuit owned lands, from the Inuvialuit Land Administration Office. Land use permit and water use permit applications undergo a preliminary screening to determine if the project is expected to cause significant environmental or social impact. If the environmental or social impacts of a proposed project merit further review, the proposal would be passed on the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (in the Mackenzie Valley) or the Environmental Impact Review Board (in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region) for an environmental assessment. Environmental assessment can take between one to two years to complete and the land use and water use permits would be issued at the end of the environmental assessment process if the project is approved. Surface access permits for lands within municipal boundaries would be required from the municipality or from the Government of the NWT Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. This would be similar to the access permits that were acquired by the operators of Con and Giant mine for mining activities on land within the boundaries of the City of Yellowknife. 2.4.4.2 Operations Anyone can produce electricity for their own needs, subject to permission of an electrical inspector as per the NWT Electrical Protection Act.36 To connect to the electricity grid system in any community, the producer would need to negotiate with the utility provider in that community. The Northwest Territories Power Corporation, for example, provides power for 27 communities in the territory. An independent power producer would have to set up a purchase agreement with the NWT Power Corporation (NTPC) in order to integrate power from geothermal into the existing power system. Alternatively, a geothermal energy project could be developed and operated by the NTPC or formed through a public-private partnership. 33 Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Activities Requiring a Water Licence (2004). http://www.mvlwb.com/doc/WL%20Criteria%20Nov%202004.pdf 34 Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Guide to Completing Water License Application (2001). http://www.mvlwb.ca/mv/AppForms/Guide%20to%20Completing%20Water%20Use%20Applications.pdf 35 Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, Activities Requiring a Land Use Permit (2004). http://www.mvlwb.com/doc/LUP%20Criteria%20Nov%202004.pdf 36 Government of the Northwest Territories, Electrical Protection Act (R.S.N.W.T. 1998, c.
