  • Marter Township (Blanche River) Hydroelectric Generating Station Project
    DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES Environmental Report Marter Township (Blanche River) Hydroelectric Generating Station Project Marter Township Environmental Report August 2012 FOREWORD Xeneca Power Development Inc. (Xeneca) is pleased to provide you a Draft Environmental Report for the proposed Marter Township Hydroelectric Generating Station on the Blanche River. This document represents the culmination of an important and considerable joint effort between Xeneca, regulatory agencies, local residents and public stakeholders and Aboriginal communities. This Draft report is being provided to key regulatory agencies for a thirty day review period which is scheduled to end on October 2, 2012. Xeneca welcomes agency review comments and will incorporate them as best possible into the Final Environmental Report to be issued for the formal thirty day public and agency review as per the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Waterpower Projects. Submission of this Draft report under the Waterpower Class EA represents a significant milestone in our obligations to the Province of Ontario under the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) contract issued to Xeneca for this undertaking. In order to initiate construction, Xeneca is required to successfully satisfy the requirements of the Class EA, and, subsequently, obtain all applicable provincial and federal regulatory permits and approvals, receive approval for final engineering design, obtain plans and specification approval. The terms of Xeneca’s FIT contract (issued in April 2010) require that the facility be constructed and commissioned no later than October 2015. Xeneca has undertaken a multitude of investigations and studies of the project site spanning a three year period, (from 2010 to 2012) including natural habitat studies, archaeological investigations, water quality and fish tissue sampling, geotechnical studies, public and agency consultation, and engagement with Aboriginal communities; the timeline under the FIT contract is nearing the 50% marker.

  • 4.5 Parks and Nature Reserves
    RECREATIONAL VALUES 201 4.5 Parks and Nature Reserves Numerous parks line the waters of the Ottawa River, with the goals of conservation, education and recreation. Parks and nature reserves represent managed areas in which recreation is promoted sustainably. In Quebec, 3 provincial parks (Quebec National Parks) exist along the Ottawa River, as well as one major nature reserve and several ZECs (zone d’exploitation contrôlée, or fishing, hunting and recreation reserve). Ontario runs 7 provincial parks and has 3 non‐operating provincial parks along the Ottawa River. Some of Ontario and Quebec’s most important parks in terms of recreational use are located along the river, including La Réserve Faunique la Vérendrye and Algonquin Provincial Park. For a more complete list and description of each park and reserve, including their conservation roles, please refer to Chapter 3.8: Conservation Along the Ottawa River. 4.5.1 Provincial Parks Parc national d’Oka features interpretation services, cross‐country ski trails, a skating rink, a 7 kilometre white sand beach, a riding stable, and camping facilities (Tourisme Québec: “Outaouais”). Oka’s 60‐nest heron colony and wood duck nesting grounds make it a popular destination for bird watchers. Four Romanesque oratories and three chapels built around 1740 are located within the park (SÉPAQ: “Oka”). Parc National de Plaisance offers various opportunities for recreation, including numerous walking and biking trails, canoeing and kayaking, a boat ramp and campgrounds. Fishing and berry picking are popular within the park (SÉPAQ: “Plaisance”). Parc national d’Aiguebelle features unique geological formations, including ancient lava flows, traces of the passage of glaciers, faultlines and kettles.
