Project summary

The company Matériaux Blanchet Inc. planned to build a pair of major access roads in the km 105 sector of the Billy Diamond Highway (Route 109) and Lake Quénonisca. These two forest roads are located on Category III lands.

Following the public hearings held on the territory and an analysis conducted by the COMEX, a condensed version of the project was authorized in 2016.

The following request to amend the certificate of authorization plans to extend :

  • forest access road H west from its current authorized northern limit (south shore of the Salamandre River) to the proposed limit in the initial impact study (extension of 13 km);
  • forest access road I  from its current authorized northern limit to the proposed limit in the initial impact study (extension of 29 km).

Details on location

The main axis, major access road “I,” about 88 km long, begins near km 5 of forest road N-823 (also called chemin km 105), passes to the south of Lake Salamander, along the west side of Lake Quénonisca and goes to the south shore of the Broadback River, about 3 km to the east of the Salamander River’s mouth. The first 21 kilometers of this major access road borrow a network of secondary access roads that will require upgrading, while the north section of road will have to be built. Major access road H, West section, with a total length of 38 km to be built, starts from about km 21 on major access road I and goes to the south shore of the Broadback River about 1 km west of the mouth of the Salamander River.
