Potential Effects: Habitat loss and contamination from structure foundations & installations; increased erosion & sedimentation of streams; Damage to stream banks; Loss of riparian vegetation; Fish habitat disturbances and impeded fish movement; Rutting of floodplain Specific Mitigation:
• Carry out construction activities on frozen ground to minimize surface damage, rutting and erosion • Use existing trails, roads or cut lines whenever possible as access routes • Identify and flag buffer areas prior to start of work • Riparian Buffers shall be a minimum of 30m and increase in size based on slope of land entering waterway. Within
these buffers shrub and herbaceous understory veg will be maintained along with trees that do not violate MH Veg Clearance Requirements.
• 7m no machine zone will restrict equipment in close proximity to the waterbody except at the trail crossing. • Adhere to Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Operational Statements for Timing Windows, Temporary Stream

Potential Effects: Increase in salinity of soils and surface water in case of potential groundwater discharge to the surface; wetting the surficial environment (ground saturation); effect on local vegetation. Specific Mitigation:
• Qualified driller with appropriate experience will be contracted to work in areas affected by artesian conditions. • Emergency response plans for sealing/grouting and pumping will be implemented as required. • Follow up inspections of installed foundations will be undertaken to monitor for excess moisture.

E-630115 N-5489792 14N 113m
Potential Effects:
Higher risk of wire collision; risk of wire collision is localized to the right-of-way. Specific Mitigation:
• Adhere to reduced risk timing windows for protection of birds (August 1- April 30) • Maintain applicable setback during nesting and breeding timing window • Conduct priority assessment for bird diverters and other measures prior to transmission line stringing • Install bird diverters or other measures at high priority sites ESS Group: Groundwater

S2-S15 S2-Aqua-201 Saline artesian areas Site: 13 to 14 E-632182 N-5489241
E-633123 N-5489008 14N 970m
Potential Effects: Increase in salinity of soils and surface water in case of potential groundwater discharge to the surface; wetting the surficial environment (ground saturation); effect on local vegetation. Specific Mitigation:
• Qualified driller with appropriate experience will be contracted to work in areas affected by artesian conditions. • Emergency response plans for sealing/grouting and pumping will be implemented as required. • Follow up inspections of installed foundations will be undertaken to monitor for excess moisture.
