Calgary, Alberta T2P 3P2 Calgary, Alberta Ph: 403-265-2885 NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. Traditional Knowledge Report Liege Lateral Loop 2 – Thornbury Section Pipeline and September 2014 / 496955/492475 the Leismer East Compressor Station Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited is proposing to construct and operate the Liege Lateral Loop 2 – Thornbury Section Pipeline and the Leismer East Compressor Station (the Project). The Project will be part of the NGTL System, a network of 24,400 km of pipeline that transports natural gas for use within Alberta and British Columbia and for delivery to other markets across North America. The Project is located in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Lac La Biche County in the Green Area of Alberta. The pipeline route will parallel the existing NGTL Liege Lateral and Liege Lateral Loop. The pipeline component of the Project will involve looping the existing natural gas transmission system to transport natural gas from the existing Pelican Lake Compressor Station at NW 29-81-16 W4M (KP 36.3) and travel east across Highway 63 to tie into the proposed Leismer East Compressor Station located at NE 33-80-13 W4M (KP 0) (Figure 1). The pipeline is approximately 36 km in length of 762 mm O.D. (NPS 30) pipeline, with a maximum allowable operating pressure of 9,930 kPa. The pipeline will be constructed parallel to existing rights-of-way (i.e., pipelines, access roads and seismic lines) for approximately 28 km (77%) of the proposed route except where minor deviations are warranted (e.g., to facilitate crossing existing infrastructure or watercourses). The Project will include the construction of the proposed Leismer East Compressor Station at NE 33-80-13 W4M to connect the Liege Lateral Loop 2 to the existing Leismer-Kettle River Crossover. The Leismer East Compressor Station is a greenfield (new) 15MW compressor station comprising of a new turbo-compressor package, auxiliary buildings and equipment. These buildings and equipment include, but are not limited to, a compressor building, yard piping and electrical systems Known reference points along the route, referred to as KPs, are approximately 1 km apart and are primarily used to describe features along the pipeline route for construction, operation and maintenance purposes. Project construction will occur from east to west, starting at KP 0 with completion at KP 36.3. The typical pipeline construction right-of-way will be 32 m wide. Additional areas for temporary workspace of varying width at select locations along the entire construction right-of-way length will be required to accommodate construction activities (i.e., log decks, staging areas and material and pipe stockpile sites). Where feasible, existing highways and roads and the proposed right-of-way will be used to access the Project. One new permanent access road is required to support construction and operation of the proposed Leismer East Compressor Station. NGTL commissioned TERA, a CH2M HILL Company (TERA) to prepare an Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment to satisfy the requirements under Section 58 of the National Energy Board (NEB) Act for approval of this Project. Subject to regulatory approvals, clearing of the compressor station and access road is scheduled to commence in May 2015 with pipeline activities expected to begin in September 2015. The Project is expected to be commissioned and operational by April 2016. Environmental field studies for the Project were initiated during summer 2013. This Traditional Knowledge Report provides the results and recommendations of the Traditional Land Use (TLU) studies conducted to date and of the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) collected through Aboriginal participation during the biophysical field studies for the Project. The participating Aboriginal communities are listed in the tables below. The dates provided in the tables below may not correspond to the dates noted elsewhere in this Application since additional time was spent in the field with the participants for mobilization and demobilization to the field, pre-field work meetings and wrap-up meetings.

The issues identified to date by participating communities during the biophysical field studies and TLU studies for the Project are summarized in this report. Concerns related to TEK were addressed by proposed mitigation measures described in the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP). TLU studies received to date from participating Aboriginal communities for the Project identified several site-specific TLU locations within the TLU RSA. The desktop review and Project engagement to date have revealed one potential TLU site within the proposed pipeline right-of-way requiring mitigation as requested by Fort McMurray First Nation No. 468. NGTL has requested that Fort McMurray First Nation No. 468 provide additional information about the cultural use site identified near the House River and when this information is made available, appropriate mitigation measures will be adhered to. In the event that any additional TLU sites are discovered during construction of the Project, the TLU Sites Discovery Contingency Plan (Appendix 1E of the EPP) will be implemented. Aboriginal communities potentially affected by the Project have been invited to participate in the 2014 supplemental biophysical field studies. Additional information gathered during ongoing engagement with potentially affected Aboriginal communities will be incorporated into Project planning, including the EPP and the Environmental Alignment Sheets, as appropriate. The results of Aboriginal participation during these 2014 studies and from any upcoming TLU studies will be provided to the NEB in a supplemental Traditional Knowledge Report in December 2014.

The report presents and describes information collected through 2016 field investigations and a background review including: land use, shore type, shoreline modifications, riparian vegetation, aquatic vegetation, phytoplankton, fisheries, wetlands, wildlife and birds. We have addressed the comments provided by Living Lakes Canada in this final version of the report. Lac La Biche is a large, moderately developed lake with numerous modifications associated with development such as docks, retaining walls and boat launches. The lake supports a mixed fishery that is intensively monitored due to recent declines, and is impacted by the annual occurrence of blue-green algae blooms. Lac La Biche is naturally eutrophic and blue-green algal blooms have occurred for several years but cultural eutrophication likely impacts the size and abundance of such blooms. Wetlands are abundant around the lake, especially within the floodplain of the La Biche River, and aquatic vegetation, especially submerged vegetation, is also common in nearshore areas of the lake, providing habitat and food for a variety of fish and other wildlife.

  • Occurrence and Source of Geogenic Arsenic in Groundwater from the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin, Alberta Michael C
    Occurrence and source of geogenic arsenic in groundwater from the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin, Alberta Michael C. Moncur, S. Jean Birks, Emily Taylor, John J. Gibson Alberta Innovates-Technology Futures Dogan Paktunc CANMET Mining and Mineral Sciences Laboratory Brent Welsh Alberta Energy Regulator Carol J. Ptacek University of Waterloo Summary Elevated arsenic concentrations have been observed in shallow groundwater in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin (CLBR) of Alberta. The geology of this area includes up to 200 m of unconsolidated glacial deposits, with six regional interglacial sand and gravel aquifers, underlain by marine shale. Arsenic concentrations in unconsolidated sediment samples ranged between 1 to 17 ppm. Mineralogical characterization of the sediment samples revealed the presence of fresh framboidal pyrite in the deeper unweathered sediments with variable As contents of up to 1800 ppm. In contrast, the weathered sediments did not contain framboidal pyrite, but exhibited spheroidal Fe oxyhydroxide grains with elevated As concentrations, interpreted as pseudomorphs after pyrite. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) indicated that the weathered sediments are dominated by As(V) species having spectral features similar to those of goethite or ferrihydrite with adsorbed As, suggesting that Fe oxyhydroxides are the dominant As carriers. XANES spectra collected from the unweathered sediment samples indicated the presence of a reduced As species characteristic of arsenopyrite and arsenian pyrite. A survey of over 800 water wells, isolated from industrial activity, were sampled for As and found that 50% of the wells contained As concentrations exceeding drinking water guidelines of 10 µg L-1. Higher As concentrations in groundwater were associated with increasing depth and reducing conditions, circumneutral pH and lower concentrations of SO4.
