Peatland Mining in Manitoba’s Interlake: Cumulative impacts analysis focusing on potential nutrient loading and greenhouse gas emissions
This report analyzes the cumulative environmental impacts of expanding peat mining in Manitoba's Interlake. It finds that nutrient loading into Lake Winnipeg from these operations represents a small proportion of yearly loads, with phosphorus and nitrogen limits of 12 tonnes P yr-1 and 449 tonnes N yr-1 for all Manitoba lease holdings. Greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change are estimated to not exceed 0.4 million tonnes CO2e yr-1 for all current lease holdings within the province.
