Trans Mountain is a general partner of Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P., which is operated by Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. (KMC), and is fully owned by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. Trans Mountain is the holder of the National Energy Board (NEB) certificates for the Trans Mountain pipeline system (TMPL system). The TMPL system commenced operations 60 years ago and now transports a range of crude oil and petroleum products from Western Canada to locations in central and southwestern British Columbia (BC), Washington State and offshore. The TMPL system currently supplies much of the crude oil and refined products used in BC. The TMPL system is operated and maintained by staff located at Trans Mountain’s regional and local offices in Alberta (Edmonton, Edson, and Jasper) and BC (Clearwater, Kamloops, Hope, Abbotsford, and Burnaby). The TMPL system has an operating capacity of approximately 47,690 m3/d (300,000 bbl/d) using 23 active pump stations and 40 petroleum storage tanks. The expansion will increase the capacity to 141,500 m3/d (890,000 bbl/d). The proposed expansion will comprise the following: • pipeline segments that complete a twinning (or “looping”) of the pipeline in Alberta and BC with about 987 km of new buried pipeline; • new and modified facilities, including pump stations and tanks; and • three new berths at the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, BC, each capable of handling Aframax class vessels. Application is being made pursuant to Section 52 of the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) for the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project (referred to as “TMEP” or “the Project”). The NEB will undertake a detailed review and hold a Public Hearing to determine if it is in the public interest to recommend a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for construction and operation of the Project. Subject to the outcome of the NEB Hearing process, Trans Mountain plans to begin construction in 2016 and go into service in 2017. TERA Environmental Consultants (TERA) was commissioned to prepare the following Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report. This report provides the results of the desktop analysis, literature review, the results of engagement with Aboriginal community representatives and traditional land use (TLU) studies conducted for the Project. Traditional land use studies were initiated for the Project in 2012 and are ongoing. The progress of each participating community’s TLU study at the time of application filing is described in Section 3.0. Additional TLU study work with participating Aboriginal communities is scheduled for completion prior to construction of the Project. Information gathered during ongoing TLU studies will be considered for incorporation into Project planning including the Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs) and the Environmental Alignment Sheets, as appropriate. These plans are provided in Volumes 6B, 6C and 6D of the application. The results of these ongoing engagement efforts will be provided to the NEB. The results of the desktop analysis and literature review, TLU studies conducted and preliminary interests identified to date indicate that Aboriginal communities have historically used and presently use the Traditional Land and Resource Use Regional Study Area (RSA) to maintain a traditional lifestyle and continue to use environmental resources throughout the Traditional Land and Resource Use RSA for a variety of purposes including hunting, trapping, fishing, trapping, plant gathering, and spiritual/cultural pursuits. To date, TLU studies for the Project have identified the following TLU sites within the proposed pipeline corridor requiring mitigation: 7894/December 2013 REP-NEB-TERA-00035 Page ii Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report • 19 trails and travelways; • 5 habitation sites; • 43 plant gathering sites; • 14 hunting sites; • 7 fishing sites; • 2 trapping sites; • 5 gathering places; and • 14 sacred areas. In the event that TLU sites within the proposed pipeline corridor requiring mitigation are identified during ongoing TLU studies for the Project and/or during construction, the accepted and proven mitigation strategies outlined in this TLU Study Report and in the TLU Sites Discovery Contingency Plan will be implemented (Appendix B of Volumes 6B and 6C). The potential residual effects on traditional land and resource use are identified, discussed and evaluated for significance in Section 7.2.2 of Volume 5B of this application, which should be read in conjunction with this technical report. 7894/December 2013 REP-NEB-TERA-00035 Page iii Volume 5D, ESA – Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Socio-Economic Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Traditional Land and Resource Use Technical Report TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .............................................................................................................................. i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ............................................................................................................................... ii DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYM LIST ........................................................................................................... x 1.0 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................... 1-1 1.1 Project Overview .............................................................................................................. 1-1 1.1.1 Purpose of Report ............................................................................................... 1-2 1.2 Objectives ........................................................................................................................ 1-6 1.3 Regulatory Standards ...................................................................................................... 1-6 1.3.1 Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge ....................................................................... 1-7 2.0 CONSULTATION AND ENGAGEMENT ....................................................................................... 2-1 2.1 Public Consultation, Aboriginal Engagement and Landowner Relations......................... 2-1 3.0 METHODS .................................................................................................................................... 3-1 3.1 Project Interactions and Identification of Potential Effects ............................................... 3-1 3.2 Assessment Indicators and Measurement Endpoints...................................................... 3-1 3.2.1 Subsistence Activities and Sites ......................................................................... 3-2 3.2.2 Cultural Sites ....................................................................................................... 3-3 3.2.3 Traditional Marine Resource Use ....................................................................... 3-3 3.3 Study Area Boundaries .................................................................................................... 3-4 3.4 Existing Conditions..........................................................................................................

    Dendrohydrological reconstruction and hydroclimatic variability in southwestern British Columbia, Canada by Bryan J.

Mood B.Sc., Mount Allison University, 2013 M.Sc., University of Victoria, 2015 Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member ii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member The hydrology of southwestern British Columbia is influenced by the region’s mountainous topography and climate oscillations generated from the Pacific Ocean. While much of the region is characterized as a temperate rainforest, recent summers are defined by record-breaking droughts that focus attention on the threat to regional water supply security likely to accompany future climate changes. The limited length and distribution of hydrological records in southwestern British Columbia provide poor context for resource managers tasked with developing policy and water management strategies. The purpose of the dissertation was to describe long-term variability in several key hydroclimatic variables and hydroecological interactions that may be used in updated water resource policy and management strategies.
