expected with respect to information, communication and emergency response as a result of oildevelopment on the Grand Banks.Proposed measures to mitigate the potential effects of the project on commercial fisheries include:• a no-fishing zone at the White Rose development site;• compensation for damage resulting from project and industry activities either through Husky Oil’sprogram or the overall industry unattributable damage programs;• all reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate fishing activity over portions of the field notunder development;• a sequential approach to reservoir development, which will allow for sequential fishing over portionsof the White Rose oilfield during pre-drilling, before production or as wells are abandoned;• using common traffic routes for Hibernia, Terra Nova and White Rose supply boats to reduce overallinterference with the fishing industry;• beyond the no-fishing zone, Husky Oil will keep the fishing industry fully informed of the timingand sequence of field development and of the exact location of potential hazards; and• oil spill prevention and response procedures.6.3 Residual Effects and Benefits6.3.1 Business and EmploymentFor those project activities and other events where substantial levels of business activity and newemployment can be expected, the outcomes will be positive for the whole economy, specific regions,and the workers and businesses involved. No adverse effects are anticipated or mitigative measuressuggested, as any changes will be within the capacities of the local economies. In fact, Husky Oil’sCanada-Newfoundland benefits approach should enhance these benefits. Residual, includingcumulative, socio-economic effects are expected to be positive. No significant adverse effects arepredicted.6.3.2 Community Social Infrastructure and ServicesEmployment and training promoted by Husky Oil through its Canada-Newfoundland Benefits Plan(Volume One) should be beneficial or positive for those trained and for those individuals and institutionsproviding the training. The White Rose project itself or cumulatively in conjunction with other offshoreprojects or activity is not expected to have significant adverse effects on education infrastructure orservices. No formal monitoring or follow-up is anticipated beyond the standard tracking processes usedby post-secondary institutions to assess demand for offshore-related programs.The White Rose project will lead to some increases in demands for medical services, but these areexpected to be minimal given the typical age composition of the workforce and the fact that operatorsWhite Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 98
have medical programs for their operations. There will be some cumulative effects during theoperations phase, but overall, these demands are expected to be small and within the capabilities of thecurrent system. Husky Oil will monitor work and family issues on a periodic basis.The St. John’s area, and in particular the City of St. John’s, is the most likely to experience any effectson social assistance and employment services. However, no significant adverse effects are predicted andsome benefits are expected. The cumulative effects on social assistance and related services due topopulation growth associated with the direct and indirect employment in three major oil developmentsand other economic activity are not expected to be significant in an adverse sense and may in fact havesome positive effects. Furthermore, the White Rose project and associated direct and spin-off businessand employment will contribute to government revenues through resource rents and business andpersonal taxes. No formal project-related monitoring is recommended. The provincial government hasmechanisms in place to assess and address program needs.Effects on security and safety services anticipated from White Rose by project phase are not consideredsignificant. No additional monitoring or follow-up is anticipated beyond that regularly performed bypolicing and fire protection authorities as part of their normal mandate and planning activities.The project will result in some in-migration and increased demand for access to recreation facilities andprograms, primarily during the operations phase. These effects will mainly be experienced in the St.John’s area, and the magnitude is expected to be small with existing facilities and programsaccommodating any increases. Even with the cumulative effects of population growth associated withdirect and indirect employment in three major oil developments, the effects on recreation are notexpected to be significant. No formal monitoring is recommended, as authorities responsible forrecreation infrastructure have appropriate programs in place.6.3.3 Community Physical InfrastructureNo significant residual effects on housing are expected in the St. John’s, Marystown or Isthmus ofAvalon areas. The market is considered capable of responding to demand as it has in the past to muchgreater and less anticipated changes. The effects of increases in demand will have an overall positiveeconomic effect. While the issue of increases in rental accommodation costs for persons with low orfixed incomes is a potential concern, if the appropriate authorities take the necessary action, the overallproject residual effects are considered primarily positive and not significantly adverse.Effects of the project on both the Port of St. John’s and St. John’s International Airport are expected tobe positive. Their greater use will generate increased revenues for both administrative authorities, butshould have no negative effect on other users. No mitigative or project-specific measures are considerednecessary for ports and airports.White Rose DA Project Summary • January 2001 Page 99
