ADMINISTRATIVE REGION: ABITIBI-TÉMISCAMINGUE
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.

Thence, in an average southerly direction, along the limit of the right-of-way of that road excluded from the ecological reserve to its intersection with the left bank of a watercourse, namely point “P”, whose coordinates are
5 174 242 m N, 373 522 m E;
Thence, in an average southerly direction, along the left bank of the latter watercourse to its intersection with the northeastern line of block II of the township of Raisenne, namely point “Q”, whose coordinates are
5 173 211 m N, 373 888 m E;
Thence, southeasterly, along the northeastern line of block II of the township of Raisenne, to the southeastern corner of the said block, namely the starting point “A”.
