REGISTRATION DIVISION: TÉMISCAMINGUE

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

RÉSERVE ÉCOLOGIQUE DU LAC-MALAKISIS

(1)  NOTES

1.1 Definitions:

In this technical description, the limits defined by the shore or bank of a lake or watercourse correspond to the normal high water mark or, if there is a water retaining works, to the maximum retaining line. The right bank and the left bank correspond to the side of the watercourse that can be seen on the right and on the left when looking downstream.

1.2 Roads

The roads are considered as having a right-of-way of 15 m in width.

1.3 Coordinate system

The coordinates of the points are expressed in metres and were determined approximately using a map to a scale of 1:20 000 made by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Québec, folio 31L 10-200-0202, in reference to the Québec coordinates system (SCOPQ), Modified Transverse Mercator projection (MTM), Zone 10 (central meridian 79°30′00″ West), North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83).

1.4 Measurement system

Measurements are expressed in the International System of Units (SI).

1.5 Land surveying

The surveying of the undivided parts of that territory will specify the perimeter of the ecological reserve.

(2)  DESCRIPTION

2.1 Designation

A territory situated in the territory of Municipalité régionale de comté de Témiscamingue, in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue administrative region, and comprising the following in reference to the original survey:

2.2 Perimeter

The perimeter of the territory may be described as follows, namely,

Starting from point A situated in the southeast corner of block II of the township of Raisenne;

Thence, successively in westerly and northwesterly directions, following respectively the southern lines then the southwestern line of the said block II to its intersection with the dividing line between the townships of Raisenne and Booth, namely point “B”;

Thence, westerly, following the dividing line between the townships of Raisenne and Booth to its intersection with the shore of Lac Cottentré, namely point “C”;

Thence, in an average westerly direction, along the shore of Lac Cottentré skirting it on the northern side, to its intersection with the dividing line between the townships of Booth and Raisenne, namely point “D”;

Thence, westerly, along the dividing line between the townships of Booth and Raisenne to its intersection with the eastern limit of the right-of-way of a road, namely point “E”, whose coordinates are

5 174 904 m N, 364 842 m E;

Thence, in an average northwesterly direction, following the limit in the township of Booth of the right-of-way of that road excluded from the ecological reserve to its intersection with the southerly extension of the eastern line of block II of the township of Booth, namely point “F”, whose coordinates are

5 175 028 m N, 364 607 m E;

Thence, northerly, following the said extension to the southeastern corner of block II of the township of Booth, namely point “G”;

Thence, westerly, northerly, easterly and southerly, successively, following respectively the southern, western, northern and eastern lines of the said block II to the intersection of the latter line with the shore of a lake, namely point “H”, whose coordinates are

5 176 774 m N, 365 078 m E;

Thence, in an average southeasterly direction, along the shore of that lake skirting it on the western side to its intersection with the right bank of its effluent, namely point “I”, whose coordinates are

5 176 229 m N, 365 429 m E;

Thence, in an average southerly direction, following successively the right bank of the said effluent, the shore of a small lake skirting it on the western side then the right bank of the effluent of that small lake to its intersection with the shore of another small lake, namely point “J”, whose coordinates are

5 175 198 m N, 365 434 m E;

Thence, in an average easterly direction, following successively the shore of the latter small lake skirting it on the northern side, the left bank of a watercourse, the shore of another small lake skirting it on the southwestern side then the left bank of a watercourse to its intersection with the northwestern line of block III of the township of Booth, namely point “K”, whose coordinates are

5 175 225 m N, 367 065 m E;
