Attention: Nick Colella, Senior Project Evaluator

Dear Mr. Colella:

Reference: Suncor Energy – Adelaide Wind Power Project: Renewable Energy Approval Amendment

Suncor Energy Products Inc. received a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) for the Suncor Energy Adelaide Wind Power Project (the Project) on December 11, 2013 (#8279-9AUP2B). The REA was assigned to a subsidiary, Suncor Adelaide Wind Limited Partnership (Suncor) on August 5, 2014. Since receipt of the REA, Suncor has identified the need to make a minor amendment to the Project as it was described in the REA Application documents and subsequently approved by the Ministry.

The Project started construction in spring 2014 and became fully operational on January 29, 2015. During a recent internal review of the Project’s final as-built design, it was noted that an access road and collector cable leading to Turbine WTG 22 was installed with a slight deviation from the approved location. The as-built access road and cable leading to WTG 22 was constructed on top of an existing farm lane. A portion of the as built location of the cable and access road were constructed through an unassessed area of land approximately 0.35 acres in size. Please see the attached drawing entitled T22 Access Road/Cable Amendment which shows the route approved as part of the REA and the as-built location of the access road and collector cable. The participating landowner of the subject property has approved of the as-built location.

Suncor is seeking to amend the Project’s REA to reflect the as-built location of the access road and collector cable.

The deviation in location of the as-built access road and collector cable are minor in scale and remains outside of all natural features. No new potential effects or mitigation measures not previously assessed as part of the REA application documents have been identified. In due diligence, Stantec was retained by Suncor to conduct a Stage 2 archaeological assessment for the portion of access road and collector cable which had not been previously captured by the original Stage 2 surveys. As documented in the report, no construction impacts were evident within the additional study area, no archaeological resources were identified and thus, no further archaeological assessment of the additional study area is required. A copy of the report and associated acceptance letter by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport is attached.

With the exception of a minor change to the Site Plan for this property as provided in the REA application documents, no additional changes are required. Any changes to the REA application documents and associated Site Plan are considered to have been addressed by the issuance of this letter and its attachments.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the proposed amendment.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Kozak Project Manager, Renewable Energy Suncor Energy Products Inc. By its duly authorized agent, Suncor Energy Services Inc.

STAGE 2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: ADDITIONAL LANDS ON THE SUNCOR ENERGY ADELAIDE WIND POWER PROJECT

Executive Summary

The Suncor Adelaide Wind Power Project (the Project) includes an 18 wind turbine generator facility and associated infrastructure, with a total nameplate capacity of 40 megawatts (MW), located in the Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Middlesex County, Ontario. A Stage 1 archaeological assessment for the Project was conducted by Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) in 2012 (Golder 2012a) and a Stage 2 archaeological assessment was conducted for the Project by Golder (2012b) and Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) (Stantec 2012, Stantec 2013, Stantec 2014) on behalf of Suncor Energy Products Inc. (Suncor). The Stage 1 and 2 assessments for the Project were undertaken in order to meet the requirements for an application for a Renewable Energy Approval (REA), as outlined in Ontario Regulation 359/09 sections 21 and 22 of the Environmental Protection Act (Government of Ontario 1990).

A REA was issued to Suncor on December 11, 2013 (REA #8279-9AUP2B). The REA was issued for the construction, installation, operation, use and retiring of the Suncor Adelaide Wind Power Project, a Class 4 wind facility including 18 wind turbine generators with a total nameplate capacity of 40 MW, and associated ancillary equipment. The Project started construction in spring 2014 and became fully operational in winter 2014.

During an internal review of the Project by Suncor, it was noted that an access road and collector cable leading to Turbine WTG 22 had been rerouted during the construction phase. The revised route traversed through a portion of land which had not been previously assessed as part of the original Stage 2 archaeological assessment for the Project. In due diligence, Stantec was retained by Suncor to conduct a Stage 2 archaeological assessment for the portion of the revised access road which had not been previously captured by the original Stage 2 surveys.

The current Stage 2 assessment was conducted on behalf of Suncor by Stantec for an approximately 0.17 hectare additional study area located on part of Lot 5, Concession 2 North of Egremont Road, Township of Adelaide, now Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Middlesex County, Ontario. In addition to Suncor’s due diligence, the Stage 2 assessment of the additional study area was conducted to meet the requirements for an amendment to a REA, as outlined in Ontario Regulation 359/09 Sections 21 and 22, under Part V.0.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Government of Ontario 1990).

The additional study area includes a former gravel farmer’s lane (Plate 1). With the addition of extra gravel, this lane was used for access during the construction of the Project and continues to be used for access to Turbine WTG 22. Thus, the construction impacts by the Project to the unassessed lands were minimal and limited to the pre-existing disturbed gravel farmer’s lane. No evidence of soil disturbance could be identified related to the rerouting of the collector cable south of the access road in the agricultural field portion of the additional study area. No further construction impacts were evident within the additional study area. Further, no archaeological

resources were identified during the pedestrian survey of the agricultural field portion of the additional study area.

The Stage 2 archaeological assessment determined that the construction impacts by the Project to the unassessed lands were minimal and limited to the pre-existing disturbed gravel farmer’s lane. No evidence of soil disturbance could be identified related to the rerouting of the collector cable south of the access road in the agricultural field portion of the additional study area. No further construction impacts were evident within the additional study area. Further, no archaeological resources were identified during the pedestrian survey of the agricultural field portion of the additional study area. Thus, in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 7.8.4 of the MTCS’ 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Government of Ontario 2011b), no further archaeological assessment of the additional study area is required.

The MTCS is asked to review the results presented and to accept this report into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports.

The Executive Summary highlights key points from the report only; for complete information and findings, the reader should examine the complete report.

1.0 Project Context

1.1 DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT

The Suncor Adelaide Wind Power Project (the Project) includes an 18 wind turbine generator facility and associated infrastructure, with a total nameplate capacity of 40 megawatts (MW), located in the Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Middlesex County, Ontario (Figure 1). A Stage 1 archaeological assessment for the Project was conducted by Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) in 2012 (Golder 2012a) and a Stage 2 archaeological assessment was conducted for the Project by Golder (2012b) and Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) (Stantec 2012, Stantec 2013, Stantec 2014) on behalf of Suncor Energy Products Inc. (Suncor). The Stage 1 and 2 assessments for the Project were undertaken in order to meet the requirements for an application for a Renewable Energy Approval (REA), as outlined in Ontario Regulation 359/09 sections 21 and 22 of the Environmental Protection Act (Government of Ontario 1990).

The Green Energy Act (Government of Ontario 2009) enabled legislation governing project assessments and approvals to be altered to allow for a more streamlined Renewable Energy Approval (REA) process. Under Section 22(1) of the REA, an archaeological assessment must be conducted if the proponent concludes that engaging in the project may have an impact on archaeological resources. Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) previously determined that archaeological potential for the recovery of pre-contact Aboriginal and Euro-Canadian historic archaeological resources exists within the Project’s study area (Golder 2012a, 2012b). Currently, Ontario Regulation 359/09 of the Environmental Protection Act (Government of Ontario 2011a) governs the REA process for renewable energy projects such as wind, anaerobic digestions, solar, and thermal treatment facilities.

In addition to Suncor’s due diligence, the Stage 2 assessment of the additional study area was conducted to meet the requirements for an amendment to a REA, as outlined in Ontario Regulation 359/09 Sections 21 and 22, under Part V.0.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Government of Ontario 1990).

1.2 OBJECTIVES

For the purposes of this Stage 2 assessment the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s (MTCS) 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Government of Ontario 2011b) were followed. The objectives of the Stage 2 assessment were to document archaeological resources present within the study area, to determine whether any of the resources might be artifacts or archaeological sites with cultural heritage value or interest requiring further assessment, and to provide specific Stage 3 direction for the protection, management and/or recovery of the identified archaeological resources (Government of Ontario 2011b).

Permission to enter the study area to document archaeological resources was provided by Mr. Chris Scott at Suncor.

1.3 HISTORICAL CONTEXT

1.3.1 Post-contact Aboriginal Resources

The post-contact Aboriginal occupation of Southern Ontario was heavily influenced by the dispersal of various Iroquoian-speaking communities by the New York State Iroquois and the subsequent arrival of Algonkian speaking groups from northern Ontario at the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century (Konrad 1981; Schmalz 1991). By 1690, Algonkian speakers from the north appear to have begun to repopulate Bruce County (Rogers 1978:761). This is the period in which the Mississaugas are known to have moved into southern Ontario and the lower Great Lakes watersheds (Konrad 1981). In southwestern Ontario, however, members of the Three Fires Confederacy (Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi) were immigrating from Ohio and Michigan in the late 1700s (Feest and Feest 1978:778-779).

The additional study area first enters the Euro-Canadian historic record when the Chippewa First Nations entered into Treaty Number 21 (Figure 4). Treaty 21 was a provisional agreement…

entered into on the 9th day of March, 1819, between John Aiken, Esquire, on behalf of His Majesty, and the Principal Men of the Chippewa Nation of Indians, inhabiting a tract of land, whereas the said John Aikens for His Majesty was to pay the said Indians 600 pounds yearly for the said tract described as follows:

“Commencing at the northerly side of the River Thames at the south west angle of the Township of London; thence along the western boundary of the Township of London, in a course north 21 degrees, 30 minutes west, twelve miles to the north west angle of the

dp w:\160940226 - suncor adelaide st 2 and 3\work_program\report\additional stage 2 - 2015\final\p256-0385-2015_26jan2016_re.docx 1.2 STAGE 2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT: ADDITIONAL LANDS ON THE SUNCOR ENERGY ADELAIDE WIND POWER PROJECT

said Township; then on a course about south 62 degrees and 30 minutes west forty- eight miles more or less until it intersects a line on a course produced north two miles from the north east angle of the Shawnee [Sombra] Township; then along the eastern boundary line of the said Township, twelve miles and a half more or less to the northern boundary line of the Township of Chatham; then east twenty-four miles more or less to the River Thames; then along the water[‘]s edge of the River Thames against the stream to the place of beginning, reserving a tract of land situate[d] on the northerly side of the River Thames nearly opposite to the northerly angle of the Township of Southwold and south west angle of the Del[a]ware Township containing 15,360 acres; also reserving two miles square distant about four miles above the rapids where the Indians have their improvements and nearly parallel to the Moravian Village containing 5,120 acres.”

(Morris 1943: 24-25)

Treaty Number 21 was further modified and confirmed in Treaty Number 25 which modified the method of quantity of payment to the First Nation groups concerned and some minor variation in the description of the land surrendered (Morris 1943: 25). While it is difficult to exactly delineate treaty boundaries today, Figure 3 provides an approximate outline of Treaty Number 21 and 24 (identified by the letter “R”).

1.3.2 Historic Euro-Canadian Resources

In the 1830s the first Euro-Canadian settlement began in the general vicinity of the additional study area soon after historic Adelaide Township was surveyed by Peter Carroll (Carroll 1831a, Carroll 1831b). At this time, Lieutenant Governor of Canada Sir John Colborne recognized that the road network was insufficient to allow European settlers into the area and did not provide a sufficient military transportation route. As a result, Colborne requested that Egremont Road be surveyed in order to increase settlement of the area as well as to provide a sufficient military transportation route should the need arise (Nielsen 1993:3). Carroll surveyed in the route of Egremont Road along with “three tiers of lots on either side” (Nielsen 1993:6). The 1878 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Middlesex (Page and Co. 1878), illustrates the settlement of the Geographic Township of Adelaide in the late 19th century. The 1878 map shows the increase in settlement noted by numerous structures and landowners (Figure 4). Although locations are only approximate on these maps, they indicate potential for archaeological Euro-Canadian remains that could be impacted within the additional study area. Typically these locations no longer exhibit any visible evidence of their former structure. Table 1 summarizes the 1878 property owners for Lot 5, Concession 2 North of Egremont Road (NER) as illustrated on the 1878 map of Adelaide Township.

As noted on Figure 4 and in Table 1, three structures and one orchard are illustrated directly north of the additional study area. A farmhouse is still standing south of the concession road (Cuddy Drive) today.

Historical county atlases, however, were produced primarily to identify factories, offices, residences and landholdings of subscribers and were funded by subscription fees. Landowners who did not subscribe were not always listed on the maps (Caston 1997:100). As such, all structures were not necessarily depicted or placed accurately (Gentilcore and Head 1984).

The majority of the region surrounding the additional study area has been subject to European- style agricultural practices for over 100 years, having been settled by Euro-Canadian farmers by the mid-19th century. Much of the region today continues to be used for agricultural purposes.

1.3.3 Recent Reports

The rationale for fieldwork strategies for the present Stage 2 archaeological assessment was informed in part by reports previously written for the Suncor Energy Adelaide Wind Power Project. Table 2 lists these archaeological assessment reports and each discussed in Section 1.4.3 below.

Project Context January 26, 2016

1.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

1.4.1 The Natural Environment

The additional study area is located within the Horseshoe Moraines physiographic region, as identified by Chapman and Putnam (1984). The Horseshoe Moraines is a moderately hilly area with gravel terraces and swampy floors (Chapman and Putnam 1984:128). The soil type in the additional study area is a Huron series silt loam that is moderately drained (Hagerty and Kingston 1992). Although not ideal, this soil is suitable for Aboriginal and Euro-Canadian agricultural practices.

The closest source of potable water is a tributary of Adelaide Creek, located approximately 135 metres west of the additional study area.

1.4.2 Pre-contact Aboriginal Resources

This portion of southwestern Ontario has been occupied by First Nations peoples since the retreat of the glaciers approximately 11,000 years ago. For the majority of this time people followed a hunter gatherer lifestyle, moving seasonally between areas of localized resource abundance. Approximately 1,300 years ago, with the arrival in Ontario of corn, beans, and squash, there was a gradual move towards farming and the reliance on domesticated foodstuffs, resulting in the eventual emergence of permanent villages by the 10th century A.D. Table 3 provides a general outline of the cultural chronology of Middlesex County, based on Ellis and Ferris (1990).

1.4.3 Previously Identified Archaeological Sites and Surveys

In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled, the registered archaeological site records kept by the MTCS were consulted. In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the ASDB maintained by the MTCS. This database contains archaeological sites registered according to the Borden system. Under the Borden system, Canada is divided into grid blocks based on latitude and longitude. A Borden Block is approximately 13 kilometres east to west and approximately 18.5 kilometres north to south. Each Borden Block is referenced by a four-letter designator and sites within a block are numbered sequentially as they are found. The study area under review is within Borden Block AgHk.

Information concerning specific site locations is protected by provincial policy, and is not fully subject to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The release of such information in the past has led to looting or various forms of illegally conducted site destruction. Confidentiality extends to all media capable of conveying location, including maps, drawings, or textual descriptions of a site location. The MTCS will provide information concerning site location to the party or an agent of the party holding title to a property, or to a licensed archaeologist with relevant cultural resource management interests.

An examination of the ASDB has shown that three archaeological sites have been registered within a one-kilometre radius of the additional study area (Government of Ontario n.d.). The sites are summarized below in Error! Reference source not found..

Project Context January 26, 2016

A Stage 2 archaeological assessment was conducted by Golder (2012b) and focused on the proposed wind turbine layout, including turbine sites, collector cable routes, access roads, construction roads, transmission lines, laydown areas and substations. Approximately 608.9 hectares was subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment, the majority of which was assessed using the pedestrian survey method at an interval of five metres. Ditches and tree lines that could not be assessed using the pedestrian survey method were assessed using the test pit method at an interval of five metres (Golder 2012a). Fifty-one locations were found during the Stage 2 archaeological assessment by Golder (2012a). Nine of those locations were recommended for Stage 3 assessment: Location 4 (AgHk-125), Location 12 (AgHj-11), Location 15 (AgHj-12), Location 26 (AfHj-137), Location 27 (AfHj-138), Location 30 (AfHj-139), Location 36 (AgHj-15), Location 39 (AgHj-16), and Location 43 (AgHk-130). The remaining 42 sites were not recommended for further work (Golder 2012b).The Stage 2 assessment conducted by Stantec in 2012 (Stantec 2012) focused on one property for an additional collector cable route for the Project. Approximately 0.97 hectares were subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment, all of which was assessed using the pedestrian survey method at five metre intervals. This assessment conducted by Stantec resulted in the identification of one pre-contact Aboriginal findspot. The recovered artifact did not fulfill the criteria for a Stage 3 archaeological investigation and was not recommended for Stage 3 assessment (Stantec 2012).

An additional Stage 2 assessment was conducted by Stantec (2013) for supplementary collector cable routes related to the Project. Approximately 5.73 hectares were subject to Stage 2 archaeological assessment, the majority of which was assessed using the pedestrian survey method at an interval of five metres. Small areas of ditches and tree lines that could not be assessed using the pedestrian survey method were assessed using the test pit method at an interval of five metres. Stantec’s (2013) Stage 2 assessment resulted in the identification of two archaeological sites: Location 2 (AgHk-166) and Location 3 (AgHk-167), both of which were recommended for Stage 3 assessment.

Another Stage 2 assessment was conducted by Stantec (2014) for additional properties on the Project. The properties, totaling 34.8 hectares, consisted primarily of agricultural fields, as well as an orchard, a pasture, manicured and landscaped lawns, and water courses. The majority of the study area was assessed using the pedestrian survey method at five metre intervals. The orchard, pasture, and lawns were subject to test pit survey at five metre intervals. A small portion of the study area consisted of a water course and was exempt from Stage 2 assessment. Stantec’s (2014) Stage 2 additional properties assessment resulted in the identification of five archaeological locations: Location 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Locations 4, 6, and 8 comprised isolated pre- contact Aboriginal findspots and did not meet the criteria for Stage 3 assessment (Stantec 2014) Location 7 (AgHk-171) and Location 5 (AgHk-170) were both recommended for Stage 3 archaeological assessment. To Stantec’s knowledge, the only archaeological fieldwork conducted within 50 metres of the additional study area is related to the Project.

Project Context January 26, 2016

1.4.4 Determination of Archaeological Potential

Archaeological potential is established by determining the likelihood that archaeological resources may be present on a subject property. Stantec applied archaeological potential criteria commonly used by the MTCS (Government of Ontario 2011b) to determine areas of archaeological potential within the region under study. These variables include proximity to previously identified archaeological sites; distance to various types of water sources; soil texture and drainage; glacial geomorphology; elevated topography; and the general topographic variability of the area.

Distance to modern or ancient water sources is generally accepted as the most important determinant of past human settlement patterns and, considered alone, may result in a determination of archaeological potential. However, any combination of two or more other criteria, such as well-drained soils or topographic variability, may also indicate archaeological potential. Finally, extensive land disturbance can eradicate archaeological potential (Wilson and Horne 1995).

Distance to water is an essential factor in archaeological potential modeling. When evaluating distance to water it is important to distinguish between water and shoreline, as well as natural and artificial water sources, as these features affect sites locations and types to varying degrees. The MTCS (Government of Ontario 2011b) categorizes water sources in the following manner:

 Primary water sources: lakes, rivers, streams, creeks;

 Secondary water sources: intermittent streams and creeks, springs, marshes, swamps;

 Past water sources: glacial lake shorelines, relic river or stream channels, cobble beaches, shorelines of drained lakes or marshes; and

 Accessible or inaccessible shorelines: high bluffs, swamp or marshy lake edges, sandbars stretching into marsh.

The current Stage 2 additional study area is located in close proximity to a tributary of Adelaide Creek. It is also important to recognize that additional ancient and/or relic tributaries of the various primary and secondary water sources may have existed but are not identifiable today and are not indicated on historic mapping.

Further examination of the additional study area’s natural environment identified soil conditions suitable for Aboriginal and Euro-Canadian agriculture, as well as areas of elevated topography. Storck (1982) notes that archaeological sites, particularly Paleo-Indian sites, tend to be in situated in areas of elevated topography as these areas would possess better drainage and would provide a broad view of the surrounding terrain for game watching. An examination of the ASDB has identified three previously registered archaeological sites within one kilometre of

Project Context January 26, 2016 the additional study area. Overall, the pre-contact and post-contact Aboriginal archaeological potential of the area is judged to be moderate to high.

For Euro-Canadian sites, archaeological potential can be extended to areas of early Euro- Canadian settlement, including places of military or pioneer settlements, early transportation routes, and properties listed on the municipal register or designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or property that local histories or informants have identified with possible historical events. The 1878 Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Middlesex, Ont. (Page & Co. 1878) demonstrates that the study area and its environs were densely occupied by Euro-Canadian farmers by the late 19th century. Much of the established road and rail networks and agricultural settlement from that time is still visible today. Considering the above, the historic Euro-Canadian archaeological potential of the study areas is judged to be moderate to high.

1.4.5 Existing Conditions

The additional study area comprises approximately 0.17 hectares of land and includes an existing gravel road and agricultural field. The additional study area is triangular in shape and is located on part of Lot 5, Concession 2 North of Egremont Road, Geographic Township of Adelaide, now Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Middlesex County, Ontario. The topography of the immediate area is generally flat, with some rolling topography noted beyond the additional study area. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment was conducted under Project Information Form (PIF) P256-0385-2015 issued to Parker Dickson, MA, of Stantec by the MTCS. Additional details regarding the existing conditions of the additional study area are provided in Section 2.0.

Field Methods January 26, 2016

2.0 Field Methods

Prior to the Stage 2 assessment of the additional study area, the archaeological reports related to the Project were reviewed. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment of the additional study area was conducted under archaeological consulting license P256 issued to Parker Dickson, MA, of Stantec by the MTCS. The Stage 2 survey was conducted on December 2, 2015. During the Stage 2 survey, the weather was cool and overcast. Field, weather, and lighting conditions were excellent and at no time were they detrimental to the recovery of archaeological material. Figure 5 provides an illustration of the Stage 2 survey methods, as well as photograph locations and directions.

As described in Section 1.1, the Stage 2 assessment of the additional study area is being conducted for a portion of land which was not previously assessed. During the construction phase of the Project and prior to Stage 2 assessment, the additional study area was impacted by the rerouting of the access road and collector cable leading to Turbine WTG 22.

Aerial imagery obtained from Google Earth Pro (Plate 1), illustrates the conditions of the additional study area in 2006. At that time, a gravel farmer’s lane was already constructed through the area. In recent consultation with Suncor, the original access road alignment to Turbine WTG 22 was designed to eliminate the need for tight turning radii during turbine blade delivery. During construction though, it became apparent that the turning radii of the existing farmer’s lane could be navigable during blade delivery. Moreover, the current landowner request the use of the existing farmer’s lane if at all possible to minimize impacts to existing agricultural land. Thus, the existing farmer’s lane was used, and continues to be used, as the access road to Turbine WTG 22. Rather than the need to construct a new access road through the previously assessed agricultural field (see Figure 2), additional gravel was added to the existing farmer’s lane to support the anticipated delivery load. The collector cable was also rerouted from its original alignment to follow the existing farmer’s lane. The new alignment is illustrated on Figure 5. During the Stage 2 survey it was determined that soil disturbance from the installation of approximately 55 metres of collector cable was minimal as there was no evidence of disturbance on the ground surface (Photos 4 and 5). It should also be noted that the green- roof barn, north of the additional study area as illustrated in Plate 1 and Figure 5, has been demolished and only the silo structures remain (see background of Photo 2).

The additional study area comprises approximately 0.17 hectares, consisting of an existing gravel lane/access (as described above) and ploughed and weathered agricultural field. Based on the available information, it was determined that the existing gravel lane (now gravel access road to Turbine WTG 22) is an area of modern disturbance. The existing gravel lane accounts for approximately 34% of the additional study area. Impacts from the construction phase of the Project associated with the access road were minimal and appear to be limited to the additional gravel along the pre-existing lane. As such, the existing gravel lane was not surveyed,

Field Methods January 26, 2016 but was photographically documented. Photos 1 to 3 in Section 8.2 depict the gravel lane, as well as the fresh gravel added during construction.

The remaining portion of the additional study area, approximately 66%, consists of ploughed and weathered agricultural field with ground visibility greater than 80%. This portion was subject to a pedestrian survey at a five metre interval in accordance with Section 2.1.1 of the MTCS’ 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Government of Ontario 2011b). Photos 4 and 5 in Section 8.2 depict the pedestrian survey and ground visibility conditions. Aside from a few pieces of fresh gravel located within one metre of the existing gravel lane, no other evidence of construction impacts was noted within the portion of the agricultural field surveyed as part of the additional study area. No evidence of disturbance related to the installation of the buried collector cable was evident. No further archaeological methods were employed since no archaeological resources were recovered during the pedestrian survey.

Analysis and Conclusions January 26, 2016

4.0 Analysis and Conclusions

As noted earlier, during an internal review of the Project by Suncor, it was noted that an access road leading to Turbine WTG 22 had been rerouted along an existing farmer’s lane during the construction phase. Additionally, the collector cable route was also revised to follow along the south side of the existing farmer’s lane. The revised route traversed through a portion of land which had not been previously assessed as part of the original Stage 2 archaeological assessment for the Project. In due diligence, Stantec was retained by Suncor to conduct a Stage 2 archaeological assessment for the portion of the revised access road which had not been previously captured by the original Stage 2 surveys.

Recommendations January 26, 2016

5.0 Recommendations

Stantec was retained by Suncor to complete a Stage 2 archaeological assessment for an additional study area associated with the Project, consisting of approximately 0.17 hectares, located on part of Lot 5, Concession 2 North of Egremont Road, Geographic Township of Adelaide, now Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Middlesex County, Ontario. The Stage 2 archaeological assessment determined that the construction impacts by the Project to the unassessed lands were minimal and limited to the pre-existing disturbed gravel farmer’s lane. No evidence of soil disturbance could be identified related to the rerouting of the collector cable south of the access road in the agricultural field portion of the additional study area. No further construction impacts were evident within the additional study area. Further, no archaeological resources were identified during the pedestrian survey of the agricultural field portion of the additional study area. Thus, in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 7.8.4 of the MTCS’ 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (Government of Ontario 2011b), no further archaeological assessment of the additional study area is required.

The MTCS is asked to review the results presented and to accept this report into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports.
