Re: Proposed TELUS Communications Inc. Telecommunications Facility Location: NE 19-48-7 W5M, Brazeau County, Alberta TELUS File #: AB001541-1 Evolve File #: 26923
Background and Purpose
Evolve Surface Strategies Inc. (Evolve), on behalf of TELUS Communications Inc. (TELUS) is pleased to submit the captioned notification package for your review. The purpose of this package is to notify residents about TELUS’ proposal and to provide information about the subject facility.
TELUS Project: AB001541-1 Land Description: NE 19-48-7 W5M Location: South of Twp Rd 484 & east of RR 80; north of Hwy 620 Brazeau County, Alberta Coordinates: Lat: 53.157863° N, Long: -115.008397° W
TELUS File #: AB001541-1 26
TELUS Communications Inc. Notice of Proposed Cell Tower 105m Guyed Telecommunication Facility
Site Selection and Collocation
The factors considered during the site selection process are expected usage patterns of wireless service, local terrain, interaction with existing radio base stations, and line of sight requirements for high quality communication. Each site that is investigated must go through an internal review by radio frequency, transmission, and civil engineering groups in order to qualify.
Before building a new antenna-supporting structure, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC) requires that the proponent (TELUS) first explore the following options: • consider sharing an existing antenna system, modifying or replacing a structure if necessary; • locate, analyze and attempt to use any feasible existing infrastructure such as rooftops, water towers etc.
During the site selection process for this proposed facility, TELUS determined that there are no suitable collocation opportunities within proximity to the proposed location. Of the collocation potentials identified within the 5-kilometer search radius, existing options either lacked sufficient height and/or were located too far out of the search area, to meet coverage objectives.

In addition, TELUS will welcome future tower sharing opportunities on this proposed tower as per ISEDC guidelines. TELUS will respond to a request to share in a timely fashion and will negotiate in good faith to facilitate sharing where feasible following standard collocation procedures.
TELUS’ Proposal and Subject Location
The site will consist of a chain-link fenced compound containing a 105 m guyed structure which will initially be equipped with nine (9) panel antennas and one (1) microwave antenna, with additional space reserved for future equipment. The associated equipment will be installed in a shelter adjacent to the tower within the leased area. The facility will be armed with a 24-hour alarm system to ensure protection from vandalism and to warn about environmental concerns such as flooding

The structure will be marked in accordance with the Department of Transportation and NAV Canada requirements. A copy of the approvals will be available upon request, once received.
Environmental Health Standards/ Safety Code 6 Guidelines
ISEDC requires that the installation and modification of antenna systems be done in a manner that complies with appropriate environmental legislation. This includes the CEAA (Canadian Environmental Assessment Act) and local environmental assessment requirements where required by the CEAA.
TELUS attests that the radio antenna system described in this notification does not qualify as a Designated Project under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and is excluded from environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
ISEDC manages the radio communications spectrum in Canada. Among other requirements, ISEDC requires cellular telecommunications facilities to comply with guidelines established by Health Canada in order to protect people who live or work near these facilities.
These Health Canada safety guidelines are outlined in their ‘Safety Code 6’ document and are among the most stringent in the world. All TELUS facilities meet or exceed these standards. TELUS attests that the radio installation described in this notification package, will be installed and operated on an ongoing basis so as to comply with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6, as may be amended from time to time, for the protection of the general public including any combined effects of nearby installations within the local radio environment.
Municipal & Public Consultation
ISEDC has exclusive jurisdiction over the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities and requires service providers consult with the municipality and the public regarding new installations. The municipal and public consultation process is intended to provide an opportunity to address land use concerns while respecting federal jurisdiction over the installation and operations of telecommunications systems. Brazeau County adheres to Brazeau County Policy ADM-22 Wireless Communication Tower Policy. In consultation with Brazeau County, they have requested that TELUS follow Section 4.2 Industry Canada’s Default Public Consultation Process of CPC-2-0- 03, for public consultation. Any inquiries that are received as a result of this notification will be logged and submitted to Brazeau County and ISEDC as part of TELUS’ application.
Structural Considerations
TELUS attests that the proposed telecommunication facility described in this notification package will be constructed using good engineering practices to the standards of the National Building Code.
Construction and Maintenance
The construction period will last approximately four to six weeks and once completed the facility will remain unoccupied. The only traffic generated at this site will be for routine monthly maintenance visits.

77 Appendix A Relevant Policy
Municipal Development Plan
Land Use Planning – Plan Goals The general plan priorities include principles of sustainability to achieve a local economy that minimizes the potential for land use conflicts with agricultural and residential developments. Expansion and addition of further agricultural land is a goal of the plan.
Agriculture and Rural Development For lands that can accommodate agricultural activities but are not developed for this purpose due to the decision of the resident or landowner, Brazeau County wishes to encourage activities that are complimentary to agricultural operations and that can preserve the land for agricultural development in the future if proper conditions exist.
Agriculture and Rural Development Objectives
Objective 1: Preservation of agricultural lands and agricultural operations Policy 1: Brazeau County supports existing agricultural operations and their right to farm. Policy 2: Brazeau County supports the preservation of lands identified in this plan as Agriculture and Rural Development for agricultural, rural residential and rural resource use. Policy 3: Brazeau County shall promote the development of lands identified as Agriculture and Rural Development in this plan for a variety of agricultural land uses. Policy 6: Brazeau County shall discourage intrusive and/or incompatible land uses in predominately agricultural areas of the County in order to minimize potential land use conflicts.
Objective 2: Provide for the orderly subdivision of agricultural lands Policy 9: Brazeau County does not permit a ‘first parcel out’ of a previously unsubdivided quarter section by right, but shall be generally supported by the Development Authority for the creation of one additional agricultural lot subject to subdivision application, the policies of applicable area structure plans, the provisions of the Brazeau County Land Use Bylaw and the policies of this plan. Policy 10: Brazeau County shall consider the following criteria when evaluating land use and development applications that propose to subdivide lands within the Agriculture and Rural Development designation:
78 . The quality of local soil conditions for agricultural production as determined by AGRASID, or an individual soil test conducted by a qualified professional that may have been completed on the subject lands; . The presence of significant impediments to the practical use of the subject land for agricultural production including, but not limited to, rocks, vegetation, topography and water bodies; . The capability of the land to support the proposed development including the identification and evaluation of onsite hazards or geotechnical conditions; . The potential impact of the proposed development on adjacent lands, municipal services and infrastructure, and the natural environment; . The compatibility of the proposed development with adjacent land uses and rural character of the surrounding area; . The potential constraints the proposed development may have on existing or planned commercial or industrial developments; . The location of existing or planned natural resource extraction facilities that may represent a safety concern; and . The availability and adequacy of water and sanitary servicing options to support the proposed development. Policy 11: Brazeau County may consider the subdivision of a quarter section if the proposal seeks to create:
. A farm site with existing improvements; . A parcel for future agricultural development; or . A total of four parcels per quarter section, including parcels created from previous subdivisions.

Appendix B Referral and Adjacent Landowner Comments
Brazeau County Public Works and Infrastructure Department Comments PWI requested that 5.18 m of road widening be dedicated on proposed Lots 1, 2, 3 and remnant parcel adjacent to Range Road 60. Road widening has already been taken along the southern boundary of the subject lands for Township Road 484. PWI further identified that an Access Easement would be required to enter the north portion of the remnant parcel from the existing approach to Lot 1. New approaches with culverts to both Lots 2 and 3 would need to be constructed to County specifications.
Brazeau County Agricultural Services Department Comments CLI Rating: SE corner of quarter = 2T(8) – 4WV(2); Remainder = 2H(7) – 3W(2) – 5W(1). Orthic Gray Luvisol on medium textured till. Dark Gray Luvisol on fine or very fine textured water-laid sediments. Some areas may contain soils with excess water that is not due to inundation, which may limit production. A Confined Feeding Operation is located ½ mile from the subject property.
Referral Agency Comments Canada Post – No concerns. TELUS – No concerns. Buck Mountain Gas Co-op – No issues.
Adjacent Landowner Comments No letters of concern were received from adjacent landowners.
83 Appendix C Suitability of the Land for Development
Topography The land appears to gently roll from east to west and is relatively flat in areas. It is mostly treed with a cleared development site on the proposed Lot 1. Some seasonal drainage runs through the proposed Lot 2 and the remnant parcel. The remnant parcel is somewhat cleared for agricultural purposes.
Soil Characteristics CLI Rating: SE corner of quarter = 2T(8) – 4WV(2); Remainder = 2H(7) – 3W(2) – 5W(1). Orthic Gray Luvisol on medium textured till. Dark Gray Luvisol on fine or very fine textured water-laid sediments.
Storm Water Collection and Disposal The landowner/applicant must ensure that pre development storm water leaving the proposed lot is the same.
Potential for Flooding, Subsidence or Erosion Some areas may contain soils with excess water that is not due to inundation, which may limit production.
Accessibility to a Road The existing approach from Range Road 60 to the proposed Lot 1 meets County specifications and will also be used to access the north portion of the remnant parcel. New approaches must be constructed for proposed Lots 2 and 3 having access from Range Road 60.
Water Supply, Sewage Disposal and Solid Waste Disposal There are no piped water or sanitary sewer system in the vicinity at this time. All facilities should be constructed according to the Alberta Private Sewage Regulation by the landowner.
