INTRODUCTION Sea Breeze Energy Incorporated (“Sea Breeze”) is proposing to construct a wind farm on Knob Hill located on the northern end of Vancouver Island. Although several potential wind farm sites will be assessed during the next few years, the Knob Hill area is the first to be investigated. The Knob Hill Wind Farm Project is comprised of the following three major components: 1) The Knob Hill Wind Farm Area which includes the turbine towers, tower service roads, and substation; 2) The access road from the Holberg mainline road to the wind farm; and 3) The transmission line which connects the Knob Hill substation to the switchyard near Nahwitti Lake. In this report, the term “Project Area” includes all three of the components listed above. The phrase “Wind Farm Area” refers only to component #1. In addition to the three major components, it is anticipated that a concrete batch plant will be established in Holberg. The Knob Hill Project Area is approximately 44.77 km2 in area and is located about 12 km north of Holberg (Figure 1). The Project Area is located on an elevated ridge and is drained by a network of approximately 15 tributaries that flow into the Nahwhitti, Goodspeed and Stranby Rivers. There are also five lakes in the Project Area. The largest of these lakes is approximately 430 m x 80 m. Lake depths are unknown. The Knob Hill Wind Farm Area will eventually contain several hundred towers connected by a network of service roads (Plate 1). These service roads will cross streams draining the Wind Farm Area. It is estimated that approximately 37 stream crossings will need to be constructed. At least some of these streams have been confirmed as fish bearing. In addition, the substation will be constructed at the point where the transmission line leaves the Wind Farm Area (Plate 1). Access to the Knob Hill Wind Farm Area will be via Western Forest Products Limited logging roads NE 62 and NE 62D (Plate 1). These roads cross fish bearing streams at several locations. A bridge on road NE 62 will need to be replaced and new crossing
