The provincial government is providing more information on their decision on the Whiskey Jack forest management plan in the Grassy Narrows area.
In an e-mail from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Kate Gordon says they are confident the plan has been developed with measures that will ensure any mercury migration is limited.
Gordon says as a precaution, they have imposed conditions on the project to reduce any mercury movement.
They include monitoring soil disturbances, and reporting any changes to research.
Gordon says measures have been put in place to minimize soil disturbances such as harvesting only in the winter on shallow soil sites and reinforcing slopes and banks
The government notified Grassy Narrows First Nation last week that clear-cut logging on their traditional land could be carried out.
