The reclamation standards have been forwarded to the County of St. Paul.

5. Reports 5.1 Trail Steward No Report 5.2 Riverland Recreational Trail Society – Marvin Bjornstad Marvin reported RRTS is concerned about the extent of the mud hole near . It has steadily worsened and horses and wagons can’t get through. Director Ockerman suggested we meet with Public Works to see what all is involved in getting this repaired. The new Trans Trail signs have been installed from Waskatenau to Heinsburg. AECOM has the Snowmobile Association sign specs for setting up the temporary trail from Bonnyville to Cold Lake this winter when the water line is being installed. The M.D. of Bonnyville installed some “No Vehicle” signs on the south side of the Beaver River Trestle and now people are parking on the side of road/trail and hiking into the trestle. N.E. Muni- Corr Ltd. owns additional siding land on the north side of the trail. It could be relatively easy and cheap to develop a parking area so people are off the side of the road. The County of St. Paul is putting in a road crossing at Armistice. It was noted during a site visit that a culvert will need to be reinstalled as well as the approaches to the road will need to be sloped for trail user safety. 5.3 Alberta’s Iron Horse Trail – Marianne Price A written report was circulated.

Gene reported to the Board that two projects have been approved; 1. The water line from extension from Ashmont to Mallaig has been approved and construction of the Edwand booster station will start end of September and run to mid February. There will be no disturbance to the trail surface but construction is taking place on N.E. Muni-Corr Ltd. property as previously agreed to. The water commission is looking for an agreement for the booster station. 2. Water line twinning from Smoky Lake to RR 130 (2 miles west of and then the second line will turn north to Goodfish Lake). The booster station at Warspite which is needed for this project is not on N.E. Muni-Corr Ltd. land. The pre-design for the twinning is under way and they will be using the same construction methods as the previous water line. The only difference will be the area around the sand at Bellis which has yet to be determined. AE will connect with Administration about getting authorization for Thurber to be on site to take some soil samples and do testing. They are looking at January / February construction so will be looking to get agreements in place.

Discussion ensued about the restoration of N.E. Muni-Corr Ltd. right of way for the Bonnyville to Cold Lake water line. Gene Sobolewski asked Administration to contact AECOM, Ryan Cadieux and set up a site meeting to go over the restoration requirements N.E. Muni-Corr Ltd. has.

10. ADJOURNMENT It was moved by Director Andersen to adjourn this meeting at 12:00pm.
