2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION

2.1 Location

The permit area as referenced under this Land Use Permit Application are within the Deh Cho Region and covers an area that is two (2) kilometres in width, (one (1) kilometre on both sides of the highway/roadway centerline) and are located on NTS mapping 85 D, 85 E, 95 A, 95 H, 95 J, 95 Nand 95 0 (see attached maps). The permit application corridor parallels the Mackenzie River crossing from the south and west side to the east side at the N'dule Crossing near Camsell Bend.

2.2 Description of the Physical Environment

The Mackenzie Highway System, including the Access Roads, which forms the subject area of this permit application, traverses three Ecoregions: the Central Great Bear Plains LS (Low Subarctic) at the route's northernmost extremity; the Great Slave Uplands HB (High Boreal) at the south and eastern ends of the route; and the Mackenzie and Slave Lowlands MB (Mid-Boreal), the northern edge of which is bordered by the east-west stretch of Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1). These are smaller units of the Taiga Plains Ecozone, a large, generalized unit at the top of the ecological hierarchy as defined by the Canada Committee on Ecological Land Classification. An ecoregion is part of an ecozone and is characterized by distinctive regional ecological factors, such as climate, physiography, vegetation, soil, water, fauna and land use.

2.2.1 Topography

The majority of the subject portion of the public highway route, within the permit area, crosses generally flat to slowly undulating topography as it reaches from its easternmost point at km 260 of the Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1), in a northwest direction across Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

the Liard River, then north past Fort Simpson to the N'dulee Crossing of the Mackenzie River (also known as Camsell Bend). Beyond the highway's crossing of the Mackenzie River at the N'dulee crossing, the terrain reflects its approaching proximity to the Taiga Cordillera. From the N'dulee crossing north to Wrigley and the end of the permit area, at km 800 of the Mackenzie Valley Winter Road, the road passes between mountain ranges on either side of the Mackenzie River. The elevations on the east side of the Mackenzie River (which is the same side of the river as the permit area) reach approximately 700 metres. This ecoregion is covered with steeply sloping to undulating glacial drift, colluvium and organic deposits in the form of polygonal peat plateaus. Dominant soils of this ecoregion include Turbic and Organic Cryosols and Eutric Brunisols.

Previous studies completed by Public Works Canada for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, describe the area as a range of hilly forested terrain, with river basins and a swampy/marshy habitat. Geotechnical soils vary throughout the permit area and past investigations have indicated isolated areas of discontinuous permafrost, silty sand deposits, clay, limestone/bed rock, with limited granular deposits.

2.2.2 Geology and Hydrology

The area from Axe Handle Creek (Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) - km 260) to the end of the permit area at km 800 (north of the Blackwater River) encompasses three physiographic plains: the Great Slave Plain, Franklin Mountains, and the Mackenzie Plain. The Great Siave Piain is comprised of ice contact deposits, high terraces Oil both sides of the Mackenzie River, glaciofluvial trains and dunes and duned ridges. The Franklin Mountains border the east side of the Mackenzie River from Wrigley north to Fort Good Hope. This region contains unconsolidated granular deposits. The Mackenzie Plain predominantly borders the west side of the Mackenzie River ranging from the Blackstone River north to Fort Good Hope. This region is composed of segments covered with glaciolacustrine deposits, which are deficient in granular deposits however some segments of the plain contain glaciofluvial and some alluvial deposits representing good granular prospects.

2.2.3 Climate

The climate is characterized by cool summers and long, very cold winters. The mean annual temperature is approximately -6.5°C. The mean summer temperature is 10.5°C and the mean winter temperature is -23.5°C. The mean annual precipitation ranges from approximately 225 mm in the eastern portion of the ecoregion to approximately 400 mm in the west. The ecoregion is classified as having a low subarctic eco-climate. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

2.2.4 Water

The highway system covered under this permit application primarily traverses the Mackenzie River system. The Mackenzie River has many tributaries flowing into it. Some of the major tributaries that are included within this permit application area include the following Rivers or Creeks:

• Axe (Handle) Creek • Bouvier River • Redknife River • Trout River • Jean Marie Creek • Liard River • Martin River • Shale Creek • Mackenzie River • Willowlake River • River Between Two Mountains • Smith Creek • Hodgson Creek • Ochre River • White Sand Creek • Vermillion Creek • Dam Creek and • Blackwater River

2.2.5 Permafrost

The highway corridor is within an extensive discontinuous permafrost region with permafrost occurring beneath 65-90% of the land area (Heginbottom, 2000). Ice content in the soil is variable, ranging from 0 to 15 %, a condition that usually occurs in areas of hummocky terrain, along river valleys, inactive river channels, and glacial lake sediments (Geological Survey of Canada, 2000) which is typical within the permit application area. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

2.2 Description of the Biological Environment

2.3.1 Introduction

The vegetation of the Mackenzie Valley is characterized by generally slow growing, conifer-dominated forests (low to medium, closed and open stands of spruce) with an understory of shrubs such as willow, bog cranberry, blueberry and Labrador tea, interspersed with meadows, and muskeg. Across much of this area, the arboreal population can be comprised of many species: poplar (balsam and aspen), birch (white, paper, bog, dwarf, etc.), willow (yellow, wolf, beaked, etc.), alder (green, river). The distribution patterns are fairly typical of boreal forests. Patches of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs form a mosaic pattern throughout the boreal forest, representing different serial stages of succession, typically fire induced.

The Ecological Stratification Working Group (1995) defines the predominant vegetation for the area as being open stands of spruce. White spruce, birch, poplar and trembling aspen occur on warmer, drier sites, and eventually form the climax community on these types of sites. Moister, colder sites have more open stands of black spruce, with black spruce and lichen/moss eveniually represeniing ihe climax species for this corridoi. Low, closed and open stands of black spruce, Labrador tea, blueberry, bog rosemary, and sphagnum moss dominate poorly drained, peat-filled depressions.

Forests with an open-canopy have a highsi peiCentage of lichens, whereas closed-canopy forests support feather moss. Upland areas across the permit corridor's length tend to be better drained, warmer, and support forests characterized by white and black spruce, tamarack, white birch, trembling aspen and balsam poplar. Wetlands cover a significant portion of the ecoregion and are characterized by peat plateau bogs, palsas and fens. Poorly drained sites usually support tussocks of sedge, cotton grass and sphagnum moss (Ecological Stratification Working Group, 1995).

2.3.2 Flora

The vegetation of the Mackenzie Valley route is characteristic of sub-Arctic boreal forests, consisting of a mature, predominately black spruce mix, with lesser quantities of white spruce, white birch and balsam poplar. Much of the forest is characterized by a mature tree canopy having a continuous occurrence of spruce with a canopy closure a regular feature. Adjacent to the highway corridors fens, swamps, bogs and ponds can be found in all directions.

The shrub stratum is typically represented by alder, willow, dwarf birch, prickly rose, cinquefoil and Labrador tea; while the herbaceous layer contains willowherb, buffalo Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

berries, yarrow, bedstraw, Iwinflower, bog cranberry, lousewort, valerians and horsetail, amongst others. Graminoids are well established both on and adjacent to most of the corridors and are constituted by a diversity of species. This is typical for exposed sub­ arctic boreal communities.

2.3.3 Fauna

The presence of wildlife (based on actual observation, or inferred from tracks, burrows, browse and droppings or scat) has been observed throughout the entire length of the public highway corridors within the permit area. The majority of observations consisted of wildlife signs such as tracks, scat, scratches, wallows, and browse, though often animals are spotted accessing or leaving the right-of-way. An individual observation can include a sighting of a single individual or a group of individuals, e.g. flock of birds or several animals together.

Incidental observations along the highway/roadway corridors have included marten, moose, black bears, fox, hares, ducks, shorebirds (the species of birds were not positively identified), hawks, owls, cranes, amongst others. Tracks and scat/pellets of wolf and snowshoe hare have also been observed. No sign of nests (including raptor nests) have been recorded within close proximity to the public highway/roadway right-of-ways. Wildlife habitat in the area of the highway/roadway right-of-ways is largely considered to be high quality wherever there is mature forest cover, a high diversity of piant species, habitat cOfllplexity and a close proximity to water. Abundant denning, nesting, and foraging resources exist across much of this ecoregion, supporting many life cycle activities for indigent species.

DFO regards many of the rivers within this permit corridor as Class 1 habitat (Ferguson Simek Clark/Rivers Lakes and Lands Environmental Services 1997), characterized by good spawning, rearing and feeding habitat for many species of fish (Hatfield et al. 1972): stickleback (brook, three-spined, and ninespine), trout-perch, walleye, Dolly Varden, suckers (Iongnose and white), chub (flathead and lake), dace (pearl and finescale), shiners (emerald and spottail), sculpin (slimy, spoonhead, fourhorn, deepwater), grayling, whitefish and cisco (mountain, humpback, round, broad, least, shortjaw, herring and lake).

2.3.4 Species Status

According to GNWT Environment and Natural Resources' (ENR's) 2006 publication, NWT Species 2006-2010: General Status Ranks of Wild Species in the Northwest Territories, several species of concern inhabit the ecoregion. In the Terrestrial Mammals category, Boreal Woodland Caribou and Fisher are both listed as 'sensitive'. Birds determined to be sensitive or at risk in this ecoregion include Plovers, Terns, Ivory Gulls, Sandpipers, Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

Peregrines, Whooping Cranes, Tree and Harris's Sparrows, Boreal and Gray-headed Chickadees, Blackpoll Warblers, Olive-breasted Flycatchers, Short-eared owls, and Pied­ billed Grebes. Some of the species of fish that are known or expected to inhabit the area are also listed in ENR's Status of Species document as sensitive or at risk: Pearl Dace, Brook Stickleback, Walleye, Arctic Cisco, Shortjaw Cisco (At Risk), Dolly Varden, Inconnu, Arctic Grayling, and Deepwater Sculpin. The Northern Leopard Frog is the only constituent of the Amphibians and Reptiles group that is listed as being sensitive.

All maintenance and construction equipment and materials are generally parked within the legislated highway right-of-way, however, a compliment of equipment may be parked within adjacent granular borrow or stockpile sites for larger project work (granular production (crushing), roadway reconstruction or rehabilitation activities, gravel resurfacing, asphaltic surfacing, culvert repairs or replacement, bridge construction or rehabilitation, etc.) along the public highway system. Measures will be taken to ensure that no debris enters water courses during the activities associated with this undertaking. Authorization for the placement of equipment and temporary construction/work camps will be obtained through the local regulatory Land Use Inspector prior to use. A list of potential/actual sites is attached and shown on the maps included in this submission.

4.0 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Physical and Chemical Environmental

4.1.1 Soil

There are ihree pOiential impacts to soil within the permit area. The first potential impact is in the form of erosion due to the stripping of vegetation during the development of borrow areas and from heavy equipment movement. The second impact is soil contamination from potential spills of fuel or other foreign materials. The third impact is from the stoiage of mateiials such as blast rock, building materials and cleared vegetation.

Erosion

Since the ongoing operation and maintenance of the public highway will occur throughout the year, erosion may occur in some isolated areas depending on the season and location of work. Soil erosion in the winter will be insignificant as there is a sufficient amount of snow on the ground and the soil is frozen. During the non-frozen periods, limited erosion in localized areas may occur, however, erosion control measures will be fully employed during and after construction activities. A number of approved methods and techniques for erosion control will be implemented, including lining ditches with geo textiles, course Class 1 granular materials, ditch blocks, etc. Silt fencing methods will also be implemented where warranted.

Seeding will also be used to control post-construction erosion. On completion of any work site, grass seeding will be carried out with GNWT ENR's approved Road Mix. Seeding will be applied to all areas of the right of way where the vegetation mat has been removed during excavation activities and where common materials were placed to rebuild embankment sections of road. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

Spills of Fuel or Other Hazardous Materials

Potential impact to soil conditions may also occur if there is a spill, in particular a fuel spill. Fuel spills could occur at the following times:

• During the transfer of fuel from fuel trucks to on-site storage tanks or from the tank to equipmen • As a result of leakage from the storage tank • As a result of leakage from working or parked equipment, and • As a result of a fuel accident, en route to or from the work site.

To mitigate the potential risk of a fuel spill, fuel will be stored on-site in appropriate containers/tanks (EnviroTanks). All fuel storage containers/tanks will be placed a minimum of 100 metres back from the ordinary high water mark of any water body (standing or flowing water body). Vehicles and tanks will be refuelled in designated areas within the right-of-way, a minimum of 100 metres away from the ordinary high water mark, making use of Hazmats or drip trays to catch any potential leakage. The use of fuel and all hazardous materials will be subjected to a Spill Contingency Plan (Appendix A). All Department of Transportation personnel and contractors will be familiar with this Plan and copies will be available at all times.

Storage of Materials

Fuel, blast rock, building materials and cleared vegetation may be stored on site. To mitigate any negative impact from these materials being stored on site, all materials will be stored safely and a minimum of one hundred (100) metres from the ordinary high water mark of all water bodies and well outside of the tree line. There should be minimal risks of any stored materials contaminating any water bodies. Although, there will likely be hazardous materials involved, all substances will be considered deleterious. All waste materials will be removed from the site following construction activities and will be disposed of appropriately. No slash, soil or felled timber will be pushed into or left within the tree line.

4.1.2 Groundwater

Construction activities will occur throughout the year; however, there should be minimal impact on ground water as the majority of the work will be carried out within the public highway right-of-way and on existing infrastructure, roadway surfaces. Where work activities are undertaken within borrow areas, any contamination of the ground water, due to stirring up fines and mixing these with the underlain water, will quickly be dissipated Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

through the natural gravel filtering process, therefore should not be spread outside the working area.

4.1.3 Surface Water

Operation and maintenance will be undertaken throughout the year; therefore some of this work will be carried out while the watercourses are frozen. However, it is possible that construction activities will have some short-term localised impact on the surface water quality. Construction activities in general present some risks to surface water contamination due to the stripping of vegetation or during the placement of embankment materials causing erosion or migration of fine grained soils to enter water bodies. The main potential impact to surface water quality may occur during spring freshet and during heavy rainfall periods due to the large amount of water that can flow at those times and the washing over or eroding effect these large quantities of water have on exposed soils.

To mitigate potential surface water contamination during construction activities, the department proposes to erect silt fencing whenever working near water bodies and will seed those areas, within the right-of-way, that have been stripped of vegetation or wherever soils have been exposed due to construction activities.

Other risks to surface water quality may include spills of fuel or other hazardous materials within the right-of-way or within existing borrow sites and on the ice/snow that overlies the water bodies that are crossed with the public highway. Fuel spills could occur at the following times:

• During the transfer of fuel from fuel storage tanks to equipment and machinery • As a result of leakage from standing storage tanks • As a result of leakage from working or parked machinery, and • As a result of a fuel accident, en route to or from the work site.

To mitigate the potential risk of a fuel spill, fuel will be stored at the various sites in appropriate containers (EnviroTanks) that are placed a minimum of 100 metres away from the ordinary high water mark of water bodies. Vehicles and tanks will be refuelled in a designated areas within the right-of-way or within the construction/work camp area, again, a minimum of 100 metres away from the ordinary high water mark of water bodies, with the use of Hazmats to catch any potential leakage during the refuelling or fuel transfer activities. The use of fuel and all hazardous materials will be subjected to a Spill Contingency Plan (Appendix A). All department of transportation personnel and contractors working on the ongoing operation and maintenance activities within the permit area will be familiar with this plan and a copy will be available at the department's main office in Fort Simpson and in field offices as appropriate. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

Long term impacts on water quality, stream flow and fish habitat should be minimal as the majority of the work will be undertaken within the public highway right-of-way and within previously developed borrow sources.

4.1.4 Noise

Construction activities will generate certain levels of noise. Graders, loaders, dump trucks, bulldozers, crusher plants and other equipment will be required to undertake and carry out the various work activities associated with the continuous and ongoing operation and maintenance activities on the pubic highway system within the permit area.

The operation and maintenance will occur along existing highways/roadways. Therefore, overall noise levels will not exceed average noise levels of normal traffic. Noise levels may increase at certain times during operation and maintenance, for example, during crushing operations, pile driving operations and bridge and culvert replacements. However, noise will be contained within a small, localised area. Noise levels at any specific work site/location site will not have any Significant impact on travelers passing by. Site workers will wear appropriate ear protection when necessary while working on and around heavy equipment.

Noise levels may potentially be a nuisance to fish and wildlife with a specific work area during the construction or maintenance activiiies. Foraging and predation activities may be intermittently, but temporarily disturbed by the construction or maintenance activities within specific work areas. However, these impacts are small and isolated to a confined space or location for short periods of time.

4.1.5 Air/Climate/Atmosphere

The use of construction equipment and refuelling vehicles will have temporary, non­ measurable, and unavoidable impacts on air quality. Construction vehicles, using fossil fuels, emit substances that contribute to air pollution and global warming. The cumulative effects of these activities, while unfortunate, are an unavoidable impact of any activity requiring the use of heavy equipment. The Department of Transportation continually assesses equipment performance and are continuously researching methods and ways to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and the effects of climate change.

4.1.6 Non Renewable Natural Resources

There will be no impact on non-renewable resources. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

4.2 Biological Environmental

4.2.1 Flora

The area of work will be restricted to as small a footprint as possible. The operation and maintenance of the public highway system and associated transportation infrastructure within the permit area will have minimal impact on vegetation of the area since the work is rarely prolonged in anyone location for a long duration of time nor will it occur concurrently throughout the permit area, and is intermittent across the entire system. The majority of the construction activities will also have minimal impact on vegetation of the area since most of the work will be completed within the right-of-way and in some cases in the winter when the ground is frozen. The exception to this will be during right-of-way clearing work, which will require the removal of trees and other vegetation within the 60 metre public highway corridor that may impede driver sight distances and when opening up additional areas at borrow sources (quarries or gravel pits) where trees and vegetation will be removed to access the granular materials. All salvageable slash (Le. of a diameter greater than 125mm) will be bucked into three (3) metre lengths and stacked along the outer edges of the cleared alignment or borrow area. The disturbed construction area will be reseeded to limit erosion using ENR's approved grass mixture for the area. There should be no negative impacts on the area's land resources.

4.2.2 Fauna

Impacts to mammals, birds and fish in the vicinity of public highway corridor within the permit area is expected to be minimal, of short duration, and localized. With the possible and occasional exception of the routine maintenance or replacement of culverts and bridge maintenance and rehabilitation work, not all water courses will be accessed to carry out the work under this permit. Water for watering the road will be drawn from abandoned borrow sites or from approved rivers and streams. These quantities are expected to be minimal.

Because work on the highway and associated infrastructure takes place at all times of the year, it is possible that animals may be disturbed by the presence of humans and equipment. This disturbance, however, will be transient, brief, and sporadic. Noise levels produced by the construction equipment will inevitably impact some mammals.

Most bird species in the proximity of the permit area are migratory, appearing as early as mid-April and departing in October, while 22 species may over-winter in the region and include Northern Goshawk, Great Horned Owl, Snowy Owl, Northern Hawk-Owl, Great Grey Owl, Boreal Owl, Rock Ptarmigan, Willow Ptarmigan, Ruffed Grouse, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Spruce Grouse, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Three-toed Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

Woodpecker, Black-backed Woodpecker, Gray Jay, Common Raven, Boreal Chickadee, Red Crossbill, White-winged Crossbill, Common Redpoll and Hoary Redpoll (Sibley, 2000; Godfrey, 1979; Bromley, pers. comm.).

However, under winter conditions these birds have large ranges as a consequence of looking for food and may extend the length of the permit area. The narrow footprint of the public highway corridors, however, does not represent a significant portion of available winter habitat. Therefore, noise generated from construction activities may potentially displace some species, but only marginally and only for a short duration and distance and should not permanently displace any birds.

Negative impacts from the ongoing operation and maintenance, including construction activities will be mitigated with known technologies such as silt fences and seeding to control impact on water quality and thus fish and fish habitat in the summer. Overall, the undertakings carried out under this permit should have minimal impact on wildlife in the area as the public highway already exists and operation and maintenance activities have been ongoing for several decades.

4.3 Interacting Environment

4.3.1 Habitats and Communities

There shouid be no permanent negative impacts on the habitat and communities in the permit area. The operation, maintenance and construction activities have been ongoing for several decades and the work is normally carried out intermittently at any specific location, so any disruption will not be inordinate or of very long duration. There should be, however, an overall benefit to nearby communities since the operation and maintenance of the public highway and other transportation infrastructure directly facilitates a higher quality of life for residents along the public highway corridors within the permit area. Domestic, professional, and subsistence lifestyles are all enhanced by this work's provision of access to communities, resources, and economic opportunities (e.g. providing employment to local contractors and local labour).

4.3.2 Social and Economic

Based on the letters of public support (Consultation) (Appendix B), the work carried out under this permit should have a positive socio-economic impact on the affected communities through employment, educational access, subsistence activity facilitation, and safe transportation corridors. It is estimated that the work will have seasonal aspects, but will generally be carried out 365 days a year. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

As in all of the department's operation, maintenance and construction activities, work on the public highway corridors within the permit area is considered a public necessity for inter-community travel and resupply of goods and services. The operations, maintenance and construction activities carried out within the permit area provides both indeterminate and seasonal employment, training opportunities, revenue for local contractors, hotels and retail outlets.

Typically there are approximately two dozen contracts underway during any given year (single, seasonal and multi-year) for the purposes carrying out the ongoing public highway operation and maintenance, including construction activities, within the permit area.

The following indicates the potential level of economic impact that the ongoing operation and maintenance activities within the permit area will have on the Deh Cho Region and the Northwest Territories on an annual basis. The values indicated below may vary from year to year dependent on the amount of rehabilitation work and other activities proposed and contract values.

• Ongoing public highway operations and maintenance contract opportunities - $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 each year • Accommodations and other services - $500,000 • Full time employment - 20 to 30 person years • Casual employment - 20 to 60 casual and seasonal positions • Training opportunities - 2 to 10 positions

4.3.3 Cultural and Heritage

The footprint of works associated with the ongoing operation and maintenance of these existing public highway/roadway corridors have been under development for several decades. Currently, no heritage resources have been identified within the public highway right-of-ways or within the existing borrow sites within the permit area. Therefore, no negative impacts on heritage or cultural resources are anticipated. It is unlikely that any heritage resources remain within the right-of-way_ Should they be encountered or be identified, work activities will be restricted for a 100 metre radius of the identified heritage site, with exception of the roadway surface, and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre's archaeological experts would be called in for assessment and management of the site.

In many ways, the public highway system within the permit area fosters, supports, and facilitates cultural engagement through the ability of residents being able to travel between communities to visit with each other and to support the economies in each other's communities. Department of Transportation LAND USE APPLICATION Public Highway Operation and Maintenance Mackenzie Highway (NWT No.1) Km 260 to km 800 And Public Access Roads

5.0 CONCLUSIONS

The ongoing operation and maintenance of the public highway system within the permit area will experience no noticeable difference in the level of impact than is currently witnessed as the highways/roadways have been in place for several decades and the highways/roadways have been continually operated and maintained for many years without any major concern.

The department proposes to employ acceptable methods and technologies with regards to minimizing erosion and potential sediment pollution during construction or rehabilitation activities, which will remain in place until the area is stabilized or adequate re-vegetation has been established.

During regular operation and maintenance of public highwayslroadways within the permit area, ongoing monitoring will be in place to observe and watch for potential problem areas and to inspect all sections of the roadways. Ongoing monitoring ensures the effectiveness of mitigation measures employed and provision of proactive responds to issues should they deveiop very quickiy.

As noted earlier in this report, the ongoing operation and maintenance of the public highway corridors within the permit area, will be carried out throughout the year and through due diligence and proper mitigation measures, impacts to the land, water, animals, fish and people should be minimal.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The following is a plan of emergency response actions to be initiated when required by staff of the Department of Transportation, GNWT, and their contractors, in relation to Mackenzie Valley Winter Road construction and maintenance work. The Emergency Response Plan (ERP) will be reviewed with all workers as part of their orientation before commencing work. Revisions to the ERP will be made as the project develops and will require that the plan be updated as the work progresses from one area to another. Workers training will be updated as the changes are made to the plan.

2.0 IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

2.1 Fire

• Secure the scene, PROTECT YOURSELF and OTHERS;

• Have all non-essential personal clear the area;

• Notify other workers by voice or alarm;

2.3 Serious Medical Incident

• Secure the scene, PROTECT YOURSELF and OTHERS;

• Attend to the injured worker;

• Call for medical assistance, if needed; (Appendix A)

• Notify Supervision and Management in accordance with the emergency contact list in Appendix A

2.4 Wildlife Encounters

• All workers will avoid situations that could create a wildlife encounter;

• All food items and domestic garbage should be secured;

• Garbage will be disposed of at approved sites only;

• Arctic or red fox may approach personnel to scavenge food Avoid all contact as they may carry the rabies virus and exposure is through bites or salvia;

• Your operation is in an area where bears may be encountered. Proper food handling and garbage disposal procedures will lessen the likelihood of bears being attracted to your operation. Information about the bear detection and deterrent techniques can be obtained from the Department of Resources, Wildlife an Economic Development at 867- 777-7308 or 867-777-7230.

3.0 Spill Contingency Plan

The primary goal is to avoid spills or the unnecessary release of materials. All personnel shall have an environmental orientation prior to starting work. This will include a review of this Spill Contingency Plan (SCP).

In the unlikely event of a spill or release of materials, quick response will become the objective. The SCP defines the responsibilities of site personnel and the required procedures for a quick response by emphasizing the need to reduce the safety hazards and minimizes the impacts on the environment.

3.1 Preliminary Requirements

• A copy of this Emergency Response Plan be available on site during all field operations;

• Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each hazardous chemical shall be available on site during field operations;

• All vehicle/equipment will be equipped with spill kits and shovels. Spill Kits, at a minimum, will include sorbent pads or equivalent, shovels, and a means for containment of contaminated materials (e.g. impermeable tarps, barrels); and

• Suitable communication equipment and all emergency numbers will be available prior to commencement of all field activities. Transportation - Emergency Response Plan Sahtu & Dehcho Regions

3.2 Initial Response

In the event of a spill or a release of materials, the first person on the scene will;

• Cut off the source of the spill if possible;

• Immediately obtain the assistance of others and begin to assess and contain the spill;

3.3 General Spill Containment Procedures

• Identify the contaminant, stop the source of the spill, and when safe, immediately implement containment measures to limit the spread of the spill and to minimize the impacts to the environment.

• If spill source is a leaking fuel truck, pump tanker dry (into appropriate containers or another tanker).

• A shallow depression will be excavated or a surface berm constructed in the path of the following product to stop and contain the flow. If feasible, without unduly delaying containment efforts, strippings will be salvaged and stored separately during excavations.

• Sorbent materials will be utilized to contain and recover spilled material.

• Heavily contaminate soil and vegetation, as well as used sorbent material, will be disposed of at an approved hazardous waste treatment facility.

• Traffic will be minimized on and around contaminated areas.

• Attempts will be made to restrict the movements of wildlife near the area affected by the spill.

• Remediation and final clean-up will be conducted until the spill and immediate location has been completely reclaimed to an equivalent capability prior to the incident.

3.4 Spills Adjacent to our into a Water Body

• Berms or trenches will be constructed to contain spilled products from entering into a water body.

• Spilled materials will be recovered as quickly as possible.

• If spilled material enters an open water body, booms, skimmers and sorbent pads will be deployed, if feasible, to contain and recover the spill material.

• If spilled material is released onto a frozen water body, snow and sorbent pads will be sued to contain and clean up the spill. A backhoe, or similar equipment, will remove all . materials to prevent future release into the water body.

• Contaminated areas, including downstream shorelines (non-frozen conditions), will be clean up in consultation with spill response specialists and the appropriate government agencies.

• In the event that spilled materials enter a frozen water body through or under the ice to flowing or standing water, auguring will be conducted to determine the extent of the spill plume. If feasible, a vacuum truck will be brought to the site to skim off the contaminants. As well, the appropriate regulatory agencies will be contacted and a post-break-up monitOring and reclamation plan will be implemented to determine the extent of the impacts of the spill on the water body and its banks. Transportation ~ Emergency Response Plan Sahtu & Dehcho Regions

3.5 Spot Spills

• The RWED Environmental Protection Services, (867) 873-7654, is to be contacted soon after a spot spill to determine appropriate methods to remove or restore contaminated soils. Since impacts from small spills can generally be minimized if immediate action is taken, all small pot spills will be cleaned up immediately.

• Activities in the immediate vicinity will be suspended until the Department of Transportation or an Inspector from RWED Environmental Protection Services grants permission to resume.

• Heavily contaminated soil and vegetation, and/or removed contaminated materials will be incinerated, if safe to do so, or disposed of at an approved waste facility.

• Locations where spot spills have occurred will be flagged and the location GPS coordinates recorded by the Person-in-Charge of the spill. Flags will be removed once reporting is complete.

• The Person-in-Charge of the spill will document and report all details pertaining to the incident.

3.6 Spill Reporting
