BC Hydro ILM Amendment Application.Pdf July 4, 2012 INTERIOR TO LOWER MAINLAND TRANSMISSION (ILM) PROJECT Spuzzum Alignment EAC Amendment Application Submitted to: BC Hydro Suite 1100, Four Bentall Centre 1055 Dunsmuir Street P.O. Box 49260 Vancouver, B.C. V7X 1V5 Reference Number: 0914220018-500-R-Rev0 Distribution: REPORT 2 Copies - BC Hydro 2 Copies - BC Environmental Assessment Office 2 Copies - Golder Associates Ltd. ILM PROJECT SPUZZUM ALIGNMENTEAC AMENDMENT APPLICATION Executive Summary BC Hydro has undertaken studies and submitted this Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) Amendment Application to assess the potential incorporation of the Spuzzum Realignment into the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission (ILM) Project, a new 500 kilovolt (kV) Alternating Current (AC) overhead electric transmission line from Nicola Substation (NIC), near Merritt, to Meridian Substation (MDN) in Coquitlam. An EAC for the ILM Project was received on June 3, 2009 which included an alignment within the Fraser Canyon through Nodes F-F1-G1-H which would mainly be a new alignment outside of existing BC Hydro Right-of-Way (ROW) (Figures 1 and 2). The proposed Spuzzum Realignment would be within an existing BC Hydro ROW parallel to Circuit 5L41. The Spuzzum Realignment was not part of the ILM Project Alignment permitted in 2009; however, it was studied as part of the environmental assessment. Since the EAC was issued in 2009, BC Hydro has reached an agreement with the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) on the ILM Project which has permitted consideration of the Spuzzum Realignment. The new line would be constructed within an existing ROW corridor through the following Spuzzum First Nation reserve lands: Papsilqua IR 2 and 2A; and Spuzzum IR 1 and 1A. The existing ROW corridor is wide enough to accommodate the new line except for portions located on Papsilqua IR 2 where the new line would be double-circuited within the existing Circuit 5L41 ROW corridor. Incorporation of the Spuzzum Realignment involves the following changes to the ILM Project: Replacement of the ILM Project alignment through Nodes F-F1-G1-H with the Spuzzum Realignment through Nodes F-G-H (Figure 1 and Figure 2); Addition of three (3) 500 kV double-circuit towers, two within Spuzzum First Nation Reserve Papsilqua IR 2 (Figure 2); Reduction in the overall length of the ILM Project by 2.7 km from 247.7 km to 245.0 km; and Reduction in the length of new ROW and clearing required for the ILM Project since the Spuzzum Realignment is situated within existing ROW adjacent to Circuit 5L41. An environmental effects assessment of the Spuzzum Realignment was undertaken as described in Chapter 3.0 of this Amendment Application. Information pertaining to the remainder of the ILM Project alignment is included in Chapter 6 of the ILM Project EAC Application, with detailed information for the entire Project corridor and alternative alignments considered during environmental studies included in Appendices C through T of the EAC Application. Based on the environmental effects assessment provided in Chapter 3.0, the following key conclusions were made with respect to the Spuzzum Realignment: July 4, 2012 Reference No. 0914220018-500-R-Rev0 i ILM PROJECT SPUZZUM ALIGNMENTEAC AMENDMENT APPLICATION Reduction in the number of watercourse crossings from Node F to Node H from 8 to 5 when compared with the previous alignment; Reduction in the amount of older forest (structural stages 6 and 7) removed from Node F to Node H from 90 ha to 21 ha when compared to the previous alignment; Avoidance of considerably more suitable and capable Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis) habitat than the previous alignment from Node F to Node H, and avoidance of currently occupied areas; Reduction in clearing required between Node F and Node H from 192 ha to 81 ha when compared to the previous alignment; and Fraser River crossing situated parallel to Circuit 5L41 instead of along new ROW. Assessment results of the other technical disciplines remain relatively unchanged when compared to the previous alignment between Nodes F and H; although a decrease in many potential residual effects would be observed proportional to the reduction in the overall length of the ILM Project. Potential effects of the Spuzzum Realignment would mainly occur during the construction phase associated with ROW clearing, and during the operations phase associated with the ongoing presence of the ROW and transmission infrastructure. The majority of potential Project-related effects have been mitigated through Project design and selection of an alignment that maximizes use of existing ROW, and avoids or minimizes disturbance to sensitive habitats, watercourses and wetlands, hazardous or unstable terrain, populated areas, sensitive viewpoints, old growth forest habitat, heritage sites and other features. A detailed Table of Commitments and Assurances was developed as part of the ILM Project EAC Application, and forms Schedule A of the EAC issued for the Project by the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). It outlines the mitigation, compensation, consultation and monitoring activities and measures that would be implemented prior to, during and following construction to avoid, minimize or manage potential effects of the ILM Project. There are a total of 94 commitments and assurances that incorporate requirements from technical discipline-specific assessments undertaken during the ILM Project environmental assessment process and the subsequent EAC Application review and approval process. Adherence to these commitments during construction, operations and maintenance is a condition of the ILM Project EAC. The Commitments and Assurances in the ILM Project EAC would be applied to the proposed Spuzzum Realignment should it be approved. No changes to existing commitments or new commitments are required to incorporate the Spuzzum Realignment as part of the ILM Project. Once appropriate mitigation and avoidance measures are implemented, the Spuzzum Realignment is not predicted to result in significant adverse environmental, economic, social, heritage or health effects. July 4, 2012 Reference No. 0914220018-500-R-Rev0 ii ILM PROJECT SPUZZUM ALIGNMENTEAC AMENDMENT APPLICATION Limitations and Use of Report This report was prepared for the exclusive use of BC Hydro, their assignees and representatives, and is intended to provide an environmental assessment of the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission (ILM) Project Spuzzum Realignment in support of an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) Amendment Application in accordance with the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act (BCEAA).

  • The Archaeology of 1858 in the Fraser Canyon
    The Archaeology of 1858 in the Fraser Canyon Brian Pegg* Introduction ritish Columbia was created as a political entity because of the events of 1858, when the entry of large numbers of prospectors during the Fraser River gold rush led to a short but vicious war Bwith the Nlaka’pamux inhabitants of the Fraser Canyon. Due to this large influx of outsiders, most of whom were American, the British Parliament acted to establish the mainland colony of British Columbia on 2 August 1858.1 The cultural landscape of the Fraser Canyon underwent extremely significant changes between 1858 and the end of the nineteenth century. Construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road and the Canadian Pacific Railway, the establishment of non-Indigenous communities at Boston Bar and North Bend, and the creation of the reserve system took place in the Fraser Canyon where, prior to 1858, Nlaka’pamux people held largely undisputed military, economic, legal, and political power. Before 1858, the most significant relationship Nlaka’pamux people had with outsiders was with the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC), which had forts at Kamloops, Langley, Hope, and Yale.2 Figure 1 shows critical locations for the events of 1858 and immediately afterwards. In 1858, most of the miners were American, with many having a military or paramilitary background, and they quickly entered into hostilities with the Nlaka’pamux. The Fraser Canyon War initially conformed to the pattern of many other “Indian Wars” within the expanding United States (including those in California, from whence many of the Fraser Canyon miners hailed), with miners approaching Indigenous inhabitants * The many individuals who have contributed to this work are too numerous to list.

    Appendix B.8 – Siska Indian Band I - Background Information Siska Indian Band (Siska) is part of the Nlaka’pamux Nation (pronounced “Ing-khla-kap-muh”), whose asserted traditional territory encompasses part of south central British Columbia (BC) from the northern United States to north of Kamloops. The Project pipeline right of way (RoW) crosses Nlaka’pamux’s asserted traditional territory. Siska has 11 reserves: Siska Flat No. 3, Siska Flat No. 5A, Siska Flat No. 5B, Siska Flat No. 8, Humhampt No. 6, Humhampt No. 6A, Kupchynalth No. 1, Kupchynalth No. 2, Moosh No. 4, Nahamanak No. 7, and Zaht No. 5. There are 315 registered Siska members, of whom 89 live on a Siska reserve, 14 live on another reserve, and 212 live off reserve. Siska members historically spoke the Nlaka’pamux language; according to 2011 census data 11.5% of members have at least some knowledge of the language. Siska is a party to the Nlaka’pamux Nation protective Writ of Summons, which was filed in the BC Supreme Court on December 10, 2003, asserting Aboriginal title to a territory identified in the Writ. The Writ also includes Lower Nicola Indian Band, Ashcroft Indian Band, Boothroyd Indian Band, Boston Bar First Nation, Coldwater Indian Band, Cook’s Ferry Indian Band, Kanaka Bar Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Nicomen Indian Band, Nooaitch Indian Band, Oregon Jack Creek Band, Shackan First Nation, Skuppah First Nation, and Spuzzum First Nation.

    Appendix B.9 – Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council I – Background Information The Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) was established in the early 1980s to protect and promote the title and rights of the Nlaka’pamux Nation. The NNTC website states that “Nlaka’pamux title and rights are communal in nature and are shared by all members of the Nation. With our title and rights comes the responsibility to care for the land and resources for future generations1”. The NNTC members include Boothroyd Indian Band, Oregon Jack Creek Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Spuzzum First Nation, Skuppah Indian Band and Boston Bar First Nation. NNTC was consulted on behalf of Boothroyd Indian Band, Oregon Jack Creek Indian Band, Lytton First Nation, Spuzzum First Nation, and Skuppah Indian Band, and therefore they are considered collectively in this appendix. Boston Bar First Nation was consulted separately and is discussed in a separate appendix.

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC is a general partner to Trans Mountain Pipeline LP, is owned by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP and operated by Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. (KMC). Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. (Kinder Morgan) is required to conduct an integrity investigation of the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline System (TMPL) mainline at a crossing (KP 1036.119) of an unnamed, ephemeral, non-fish bearing watercourse, north of Herrling Island (Attachment 1). This investigation is required as part of Kinder Morgan’s Pipeline Integrity Management Program to ensure compliance with the National Energy Board’s Onshore Pipeline Regulations. As a part of Kinder Morgan’s Integrity Management Program several In Line Inspection technologies are used to ensure the integrity and safety of the pipeline. At this location an In Line Inspection tool identified an anomaly that requires prioritized inspection according to Kinder Morgan’s program requirements (within 30 days of discovery if possible). Kinder Morgan has also reduced the maximum operating pressure in this segment to 80% of the maximum pressure recorded for the past 60 days until this anomaly is inspected and repaired (if required) in accordance with Kinder Morgan’s established process when possible immediate repair conditions are identified.
