Up to 10km of access trails, at a width of no more than 5 meters.
Ice road will be constructed to access the site.

Mitigations
Edges of ice road will be kept low to minimize disturbance to land users.
If there are any Caribou migrating near Fir Island, the program will be shut down until a distance suggested by the community is re-established (typically has been 10km).
