Proposed projects in the Northwest Territories, outside of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, are subject to environmental assessment or preliminary screenings pursuant to the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act. The Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board conducts assessments in areas without settlement agreements (the Deh Cho, Akaitcho and South Slave) and for proposed projects crossing boundaries of settlement areas. The Gwich'in Land and Water Board, Sahtu Land and Water Board and Wek'eezhii Land and Water Board conduct preliminary screenings in their respected land claim areas.
