Potential Effects: Melting or loss of permafrost due to disturbance of the active layer Specific Mitigation:
Carry out construction activities on frozen ground to minimize surface damage and rutting Use existing trails, roads or cut lines whenever possible as access routes Avoid organic soils containing permafrost to the extent possible Maintain shrub and herbaceous vegetation to the extent possible Remove trees by low-disturbance methods Confine vehicle traffic to established trails to the extent possible Implement erosion protection before commencing construction in accordance with Erosion/Sediment Control

Specific Mitigation:
Adhere to reduced risk timing windows for protection of birds (August 1- April 30) Maintain setback during 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
