Résumé

The Réserve de biodiversité Opasatica is constituted in the territory described in the Schedule. Réserve de biodiversité Opasatica is composed of four distinct ecological units, as defined by their landforms and surface deposits: Lac Opasatica, the northern terrestrial part of the reserve, the plateau south of it, and the western part of the reserve. The reserve is in the balsam fir-yellow birch bioclimatic domain, which extends in a band from west to central Québec between 47° and 48° north latitude. Mesic sites are occupied by mixed stands of yellow birch and conifers, including balsam fir, white spruce and cedar. Sugar maples are at the northern limit of their range here. No person may stock a lake or watercourse for aquaculture, commercial fishing or any other commercial purpose. No person may remove from the biodiversity reserve species of flora, small fruits or any other non-timber forest product by mechanical means. No person may in the biodiversity reserve, unless the person has been authorized by the Minister, (1) intervene in a wetland area, in particular a marsh, swamp or peat bog; (2) modify the natural drainage or water regime, including by creating or developing lakes and watercourses; (3) dig, fill, obstruct or divert a lake or watercourse; (4) installation or erect any construction, infrastructure or new works in the littoral zone, on the banks or shores or the floodplains of a lake or watercourse; no authorization is however required for minor works — quay or platform, boat shelter — installed for private purposes and may be free of charge under section 2 of the Regulation respecting the water property in the domain of the State (chapter R-13, r. 1); (5) carry on an activity other than those referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 likely to directly and substantially affect the biochemical characteristics or quality of wetlands and bodies of water in the biodiversity reserve, including by discharging or dumping residual materials or contaminants into the wetlands or bodies of water; (6) carry out soil development work or an activity likely to degrade the soil or a geological formation, or to damage the vegetation cover, in particular by stripping, the digging of trenches or excavation work, including any burial, earthwork, removal or displacement of surface materials or vegetation cover, for any purpose; (7) install or construct a structure, infrastructure or new works; (8) reconstruct or demolish a structure, infrastructure or works; (9) use a pesticide; no authorization is required for the use of personal insect repellent; (10) carry on educational or research-related activities if the activities are likely to directly or significantly damage or disturb the natural environment, in particular because of the nature or size of the samples taken or the invasive character of the method or process used; or (11) hold a sports event, tournament, rally or any other similar event where (a) fauna or flora species are taken or are likely to be taken; or (b) motor vehicles or craft are used. No person may carry on forest management activities to meet domestic needs or for the purpose of maintaining biodiversity, unless the person has been authorized by the Minister. The members of a Native community who, for food, ritual or social purposes, carry on an intervention or an activity within the biodiversity reserve are exempted from obtaining an authorization.
