As stated in the response to a., there is confidence in the conductivity values used for the initial conditions in the numerical model and the calibrated hydraulic conductivity values. However, the model sensitivity analysis presented in the TDR Update, Attachment E does examine the hypothetical effect of increasing the permeability of both the till and bedrock layers within the model. The hydraulic conductivity values for these units were increased by a factor of 1,000 (well beyond the expected range of natural variability of these geologic materials). The sensitivity analysis results suggest that the model simulations are most affected by parameterization of hydraulic conductivity values, and the higher conductivity values lead to further propagation of effects and, in turn, a larger area of effects. However, even when increasing the hydraulic conductivity values of the low conductivity units, the modelled effects remain within the LAA and north of Elbow River. The above sensitivity analysis used different boundary conditions compared with the Supplemental Information Request 2, SIR 47 and 48. In the TDR Update, Attachment E - the boundary conditions along the diversion channel were wrong according to the statements in Supplemental Information Request 2, SIR 48; and the boundary conditions on top of the reservoir area didn’t apply the loading head. As a result the sensitivity analysis results need to be updated. a. Using the models explained in Figure 47-2, 47-3 and 48-1, update the conductivities so they are similar to those in the TDR Update, Attachment E. Complete the sensitivity analysis. b. Provide maps similar Figure 47-2, 47-3 and 48-1 for a hydraulic conductivity of 10-5. c. Analyze the difference of the drawdown cone along the diversion channel. Explain the findings. d. What percentage of the seepage has changed to the diversion channel? 2 ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION SPRINGBANK OFF-STREAM RESERVOIR PROJECT RESPONSE TO AEP SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REQUEST DATED NOVEMBER 4, 2020 2 General December 2020 e. Analyze the difference of the potential artesian area to the east and south-east of the off- stream dam. Explain the results. f. Does the potential impacted area remain within the LAA? Explain. g. What is the contingency monitoring and mitigation plan for a hydraulic conductivity of 10-5 should it occur? Explain. Response a. The model sensitivity Scenario 1 presented in the Hydrogeology Technical Data Report (TDR) Update (see Alberta Transportation’s response to Round 1 Alberta Environment and Parks [AEP] information request [IR] 42, Appendix IR42-1), Attachment E considered an increase in hydraulic conductivity by a factor of 1,000 in the low conductivity till and bedrock layers. The same sensitivity scenario has been rerun for the purpose of this response using the updated version of the numerical model shown in Round 2 AEP Question 47 and Question 48, which includes the application of the conservative loading effect whereby the hydraulic head pressure in the reservoir has been applied directly to the bedrock layer. The results of increasing the conductivity by a factor of 1,000 and applying the conservative loading effect are presented in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-1 is an updated version of Figure E.1-1 (presented in Attachment E of the TDR Update), and it depicts the net change in head between PPX1 (the design flood with the Project) and EEX1 (the design flood without the Project). The updated sensitivity scenario results in increased lateral extent of the hydraulic head change around the reservoir. Hydraulic head increases are observed up to 800 m from the reservoir in the northeast and southwest directions. Increases are also observed up to 800 m to the southeast toward Elbow River. These updated sensitivity scenario effects are limited to the local assessment area (LAA) and do not extend beyond the edge of the fluvial deposits or beyond Elbow River. The model simulations for this sensitivity analysis show that the model is sensitive to the application of the conservative loading effect. However, the modelled effects remain within the LAA and north of Elbow River. Note that this simulation is meant as a theoretical exercise (i.e., increasing the hydraulic conductivity by a factor of 1,000 in the low conductivity till and bedrock layers is well above values derived from the field measurements) to explore the model sensitivity; it is not considered to be representative of potential subsurface conditions, based on the hydrostratigraphic framework for the Project. 3 ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION SPRINGBANK OFF-STREAM RESERVOIR PROJECT RESPONSE TO AEP SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REQUEST DATED NOVEMBER 4, 2020 2 General December 2020 b. Updated versions of Round 2 AEP Question 47, Figures 47-2 and 47-3 are attached as Figures 1-2 and 1-3 and an updated version of Round 2 AEP Question 48, Figure 48-1 is attached as Figure 1-4. Figures 1-2 and 1-3 use the latest iteration of the model with the corrected nodes along the diversion channel and the conservative loading heads applied for the PPX1 simulation (the design flood scenario with the Project). This simulation incorporates an increase in the hydraulic conductivity by a factor of 10, for example, from 10-6 to 10-5 m/s for the upper bedrock, as requested in this IR. As was the case in the response to Round 2 AEP Question 47, the model was also run in steady state mode to represent the most conservative

    Is it us, or has this been the strangest of winters, weather-wise? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis In this month's newsletter... Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails News from the Board: Creating volunteer opportunities for you Other News: The winter speaker series is back -- and so are the bears, plus a survey opportunity Kananaskis Special Places: Barrier Lake Reservoir The Critters of K-Country: Pine Grosbeaks Rebuilding Kananaskis Country's Interpretive Trails by Nancy Ouimet, Program Coordinator We received fantastic news this week. The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
