Introduction Evacuation is the process of removing persons and/or domestic animals from an area that is or may pose a threat to life and limb to an area of safety. Depending on the nature and scope of the threat, an evacuation may involve a single building, a group of buildings or an entire community. Further to the results of a hazard, risk and vulnerability analysis carried out for the Westwold, Monte Lake, Monte Creek and Pritchard areas (i.e. TNRD Electoral Area “L”), an evacuation plan has been prepared that identifies the population at risk, the potential frequency and severity of hazards and the process involved in conducting a safe, orderly evacuation. It should be noted that there are numerous First Nation communities within the TNRD boundaries. Aboriginal Affairs Northern Development Canada (AANDC) provides the necessary Emergency Management support in all First Nation communities. 2. Process As the local authority for emergency program management, it is the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s (TNRD) responsibility to identify hazards and be prepared to coordinate evacuations in areas that may be affected by emergency events. Depending on the event and circumstances, evacuations could be ordered by: • Province of BC; • Thompson-Nicola Regional District for the TNRD Electoral Areas; • A municipality for the area within municipal boundaries; • Fire Commissioner – for an emergency arising from a fire hazard or from a risk of explosion; Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard Evacuation Plan Page 1 • Ministry of Health or the Local Health Authority; • Ministry of Environment. The Minister may order or designate a person to order; • Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas; • Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for tactical fire fighting purposes. An evacuation order may or may not be preceded by a warning or advisory notice, depending on how much time is available to clear the affected area. After the event and if it is safe to return home, the order is lifted and a public notice issued. The actual evacuation process consists of the following key elements: • Identifying the population at risk; • Communicating the evacuation order by way of media announcements, personal contact and delivery of handouts; • Identifying evacuation routes and modes of transportation available; • R.C.M.P. enforcing the order and conducting traffic control and scene security; • Identifying assembly point and reception centres for evacuees. 3. Reporting Procedure Should a resident of this evacuation plan area need to report an emergency event, the call in procedure is as follows: a) For police or ambulance, dial 911. (Note: when answering, the dispatcher will ask if you require police, fire or ambulance, but there is no structural fire protection in this area.) b) To report a forest fire, call 1-800-663-5555. The dispatcher will ask you a number of questions about what is burning, the size of the fire, how fast is it spreading, is anybody fighting the fire, what colour is the smoke and are there any homes or lives threatened. c) For all other emergencies, contact the Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC) at 1-800-663-3456. EMBC will then contact the appropriate authority to respond to the emergency. Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard Evacuation Plan Page 2 4. Population at Risk The Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard Evacuation Plan has been prepared to include the following geographical areas: - the communities of Westwold, Monte Lake, Monte Creek and Pritchard; - Paxton Valley, Duck Range Road and the “Old Vernon” Road to Barnhartvale; and - from Westwold south and west to the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District boundary. The population of this area has been estimated at 2455 people. (Source – 2011 Census results) 5. Risk Priorities Using a template provided by the Emergency Management British Columbia, a Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability Analysis has been carried out for the evacuation plan area. The survey results were obtained in consultation with area residents and emergency response personnel such as RCMP and Ministry of Forests and Range Fire Control personnel. The risks are also ranked in order of priority with respect to the potential for frequency of occurrence and severity of impact. Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard Evacuation Plan Page 3 RISK FREQUENCY SEVERITY DETAILS OF OF OCCURRENCE IMPACT 5.1 Transport Frequent or very Very high • Both Highway 97 and 1 have been the accident – likely scene of numerous transport truck road accidents involving lumber, diesel fuel and gasoline spills and various other commodities. Road closures have been required for investigation and cleanup. • Area residents are concerned that at some point in time an accident leading to an evacuation will be inevitable. The scale could range from localized to area wide. • The new Highway 97/1 junction at Monte Creek has worked towards much improved traffic flow and a reduction in accidents. 5.2 Dangerous Moderate or likely Very high • Concerns raised regarding an event goods spill related to either a highway or railroad accident. • Numerous different types of bulk commodities hauled by truck, CN Rail or CP Rail. 5.3 Flooding Moderate or likely High • Areas of highest risk include the South Thompson River from freshet flows and flash flooding in Pritchard and Monte Creek areas due to rapid snowmelt or spring rain on snow high water flows. • High risk local creeks include Martin, Harrison, Neds, Laveau and Monte Creek. 5.4 Severe Moderate or likely High • The area can be the site of severe winter weather storms that can cause highway closures and power failures, leaving area residents stranded and isolated. • Sudden summer storms can also result in high winds, hail, rainstorms and lighting. • Highway closures due to weather related events (or accidents) can result in significant increases in truck and tourist traffic in area communities. 5.5 Fire – interface Occasional or slight High • Generally dry climate of the area and wildfire chance combined with grasslands and forest in close proximity to populated areas can result in fire potential from April to October. • Very high recreational use of area leading to possibility of human caused fires. • Area subject to lighting storms in summer months. • Grass fires have been caused by railroads grinding scale and rust from tracks. Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard Evacuation Plan Page 4 RISK FREQUENCY SEVERITY DETAILS OF OF OCCURRENCE IMPACT 5.6 Fire – Unlikely or High • No large scale, high risk industrial facilities industrial improbable in this area. 5.7 Storm surge Unlikely or High • Although not a frequent event, this area improbable has been the site of very high water flows on river tributaries caused by spring rainstorms falling on water saturated high elevation snow. • These creeks generally do not have flow control structures and area residents should be aware of the possibility of these types of flows and prepare accordingly. 5.8 Transport Unlikely or High • CP mainline follows South Thompson accident – rail improbable River and the Kelowna-Pacific RR uses the tracks going from Campbell Creek through to Monte Lake, Westwold and Falkland. • Depending on commodity being hauled, a derailment or crossing accident could require an evacuation. • Kelowna-Pacific R.R. estimates 1 northbound and 1 southbound freight train per day. 5.9 Infrastructure Occasional or slight Low • Some concerns raised about the failure change possibility of a long term power outage or loss of telephone service • Contamination of area water supply also raised as a concern. 5.10 Dam failure Highly unlikely or High • No specific concerns raised for this area. rare event 5.11 Explosion or Highly unlikely or High • Possibility of an event related to rail or emissions rare event transport truck accident. • Fortis BC gas distribution lines in the area. 5.12 Epidemic – Unlikely or Low • No major concerns raised by area human improbable residents 5.13 Landslide, Unlikely or Low • Some concerns raised about debris flow in debris flow or improbable area creeks that could cause blockages subsidence and lead to localize flooding. 5.14 There were several other possible emergency events contained in the HRVA survey that respondents did not consider to be high risk hazards for the Westwold-Monte Lake-Monte Creek-Pritchard area. These event include: • Earthquake • Epidemic – animal • Terrorism • Transport accident – air or marine • Avalanche • Volcanic Eruptions.

No.: VA15-02874 Re: Ajax Project - Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts The purpose of this memorandum is present the results of assessment of potential changes in hydrology and hydraulics on the Thompson River downstream from the outlet of Kamloops Lake due to the proposed Ajax Project. Flow reductions, particularly during low flow periods, have the potential to impact fish habitat. The Project will affect Thompson River flows due to a water withdrawal of 1505 m3/hr (0.42 m3/s) from Kamloops Lake and flow reductions in Peterson Creek due to mine activities. This memorandum is a revision of the work completed by Knight Piésold Ltd. (KP) on March 18, 2013 (KP cont. no. VA13-00493), which assessed the effects of a Kamloops lake water withdrawal of 2000 m3/hr (0.56 m3/s). Hydrology The Project is located in the Thompson River Valley on the south side of Kamloops Lake. The hydrology of the Thompson River was assessed based on Water Survey of Canada (WSC) data available for the Thompson River. The Project location and the locations of relevant WSC gauging stations are shown on Figure 1. Details of these WSC stations are summarized in Table 1. The WSC operated a gauge on the Thompson River near Savona (08LF033), near the outlet of Kamloops Lake, between 1926 and 1966.
