Abstract
Environmental impact assessment is viewed as an integral planning tool with respect to the sustainable development of land and natural resources, as it has the potential to protect the different values held by individuals and groups when done appropriately. This article examines an approach by the Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia, Canada, regarding the scope of a cumulative effect assessment for the environmental assessment process of a proposed coal mine project that is endangering a threatened herd of caribou relied upon by West Moberly First Nations (an Indigenous group in Canada) for cultural subsistence. A Canadian-based equality framework is used to ground the environmental justice analysis. We conclude that the government's application of its discretionary powers in this case resulted the cultural values of West Moberly being given a diminished level of protection and benefit of the law in comparison to the social values held by mainstream society.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
