Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No. 3 International Power Line from Alberta to Montana March 2006 Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. (MATL) International Power Line from Alberta to Montana Information Request No. 3 3.1 Reference: 1.1 Introduction, Application, p.12 Response to NEB Information Request 1 dated 20 January 2006 (IR Response) 1.1. Preamble: MATL did not directly respond to 1.1(b). The Board requires MATL’s site- restoration plans in the likelihood, however remote, of the IPL not being completed. Request: Describe MATL’s plans for restoring the site(s) to their pre-construction state if the IPL is not completed for any reason. Reply: All materials in place along the right-of-way (RoW) would be removed and would be salvaged. The sites would be reclaimed in accordance with existing requirements, such as those under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and appropriate sections of Canadian Council of the Ministers of the Environment (CCME) guidelines. MATL would work with the regulators such as Alberta Environment and Alberta Sustainable Resource Development before, during and following reclamation to ensure that MATL's reclamation plans and activities are appropriate. ::ODMA\PCDOCS\MACLEOD\764798\1 Hob\764798.v1 Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No. 3 International Power Line from Alberta to Montana March 2006 3.2 Reference: 1.3 Project Proponents and Other Participants, Application, Volume 1, pages 12 to 14 1.1 and 1.2 Summary, Application, Volume 2, pages 2 to 5 The National Energy Board Electricity Regulations (Regulations), paragraphs 5(a), 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii) Preamble: The Regulations require the name of the applicant. In the application, the applicant’s name appears as “Montana Alberta Tie Ltd.” and “Montana Alberta Tie Limited”. In addition, the application describes several entities concerned with the IPL, but does not specify who are the proposed owner and operator of the IPL. Lastly, the application refers to materials available on websites instead of filing the materials as part of the record. Request: (a) Confirm the Applicant’s legal name and describe its legal status. For example, if the applicant is a business corporation, identify the jurisdiction and legislation under which it is incorporated. (b) Specify who are the proposed owner and operator of the IPL, and, if they are not the applicant, describe the legal status of each entity. (c) Where the proposed owner and operator of the IPL are different than the entities already described in the application, provide the information described in paragraphs 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii) of the Regulations. (d) File copies of the most recent annual reports described in paragraph 5(b)(iii) of the Regulations. Reply: (a) The Applicant, Montana Alberta Tie Ltd., was incorporated pursuant to the Alberta Business Corporations Act on July 7, 2004. (b) and (c) Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. will be the owner and operator. (d) MATL does not have an annual report for 2005, which was its first year of operation. MATL is in the process of finalizing its audited financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year and will provide those to the NEB by April 30, 2006. In addition, the 2005 audited financial statements and financing prospectus of MATL's parent corporation, Tonbridge Power Corporation, will be submitted to the Board. ::ODMA\PCDOCS\MACLEOD\764798\1 Hob\764798.v1 Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No. 3 International Power Line from Alberta to Montana March 2006 3.3 Reference: (a) IR Response 1.7(b) and (c) (b) IR Response 1.4(a) and (c) (c) IR Response 1.18(b) (d) 4.8 Wildlife Habitat, Environmental Assessment, Vol. 2, Page 85. Preamble: In reference (a) MATL states that the environmental assessment has been conducted for the area within the boundaries of the 2 km wide Preferred Corridor. MATL further states that it is not intending to conduct a survey to outline the boundaries of the Preferred Corridor. In reference (b) MATL states that a visual impact assessment was not conducted along the entire length of the proposed power line. MATL further states MATL will work with landowners on a case by case basis to address their concerns regarding the visual impacts of the power line. In reference (c) MATL states that rare plant field observations were performed up to 800 m on either side of the power line. In reference (d) MATL states that wildlife field surveys were performed within 250 m of either side of the centre line and that burrowing owl call playback sessions were also completed every 800 m within native grassland habitat. Request: (a) Please specify the techniques MATL will use in the field to identify the boundary lines of the Preferred Corridor. (b) Please confirm that MATL will submit revised maps and supplementary environmental assessment information as these become available for those areas where changes are made to the boundaries of the Preferred Corridor. (c) Please specify MATL’s rationale and methodology used in determining the spatial limits of the rare plant survey, wildlife survey and the visual impact assessment within the Preferred Corridor, and explain why the environmental assessments for the three issues can be considered complete for the 2 km width of the Preferred Corridor. If the assessments are not considered complete, please indicate how MATL plans to complete them. (d) Please indicate whether other environmental elements were not assessed for the full extent of the 2 km wide Preferred Corridor. If this is the case, describe the elements and provide the rationale for not doing so. ::ODMA\PCDOCS\MACLEOD\764798\1 Hob\764798.v1 Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No. 3 International Power Line from Alberta to Montana March 2006 Reply: (a) Global Positioning System (GPS) units will be used in the field to identify the boundary lines of the Preferred Corridor. (b) Maps and supplementary environmental information for any areas where changes are made to the boundaries of the Preferred Corridor will be submitted as they become available. (c) The 2 km wide corridor (as described in the National Energy Board (NEB) Act Electricity Regulations 5(t)(i)) was used as a guide for reviewing literature and map information. Field surveys were conducted on a more narrowly focused area based on the literature reviews and the expected extent of impacts from the power line. Rare Plant Survey An extensive literature review, which is provided in Appendix G of Volume 2 of the Application, was conducted. The results of the literature review, in combination with professional judgment were used to identify the study area. The intensive rare plant surveys were conducted 250 m on either side of the theoretical centre line, resulting in a 500 m study area. Sampling focused on native grasslands and on areas of potential habitat, as identified in the literature review and air photo interpretation. The assessment width is considered adequate to address direct losses to rare plants. An additional 150 m on either side of the 500 m study area was searched less intensively for rare plants within the native grasslands, for a total of 400 m on either side of the theoretical centre line (i.e., 800 m corridor) assessed for rare plants. MATL acknowledges that the assessment is currently not complete because the final power line RoW location may be moved to address landowner concerns. In addition, a supplementary rare plant survey will be conducted in June and late July/early August 2006 for native grasslands south of the Milk River Ridge Reservoir (Volume 2, Appendix A, maps 10 to 14). Wildlife Survey Information from Alberta Sustainable Resource Development’s (ASRD’s) Biodiversity Species Observation Database (BSOD) is displayed on maps 1a through14a (Volume 2, Appendix A of the Application). This, in combination with professional judgement, was used to identify the study area. The wildlife survey assessed an area of 250 m on either side of the theoretical centre line resulting in a 500 m study area. Sampling focused on native grasslands and identified areas of potential habitat, as determined by professional judgement, literature review and air photo ::ODMA\PCDOCS\MACLEOD\764798\1 Hob\764798.v1 Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. Information Request No. 3 International Power Line from Alberta to Montana March 2006 interpretation. The assessment width is considered adequate to address direct (habitat loss) and indirect (sensory noise disturbances) impacts to wildlife. MATL acknowledges that the assessment needs to be updated as the RoW location maybe adjusted to landowner concerns. Additional surveys for sharp-tailed grouse leks and burrowing owls will also be conducted in spring 2006 within a 500 m corridor of the revised RoW centre line (i.e., 250 m on either side of the centre line). For burrowing owls, call playback was conducted along the theoretical centre line every 800 m. The maximum effective radius of these surveys was 800 m which encompassed the majority of the 2 km corridor width. A copy of the protocols that were used to assess the sensitive species, Sensitive Species Inventory Guidelines1 is attached (Attachment 1). Visual Impact Assessment A visual impact assessment was not conducted, but in accordance with section 5(t)(iv) of the NEB Electricity Regulations. Measures that may be taken to minimize any adverse visual effects have been identified. These measures include: 1) Locating portions of the power line on the 1/4 section line of each section. This measure places the power line up to 800 m away from developed roads, farmyards and homes. 2) Locating portions of the power line on undeveloped road allowances. This measure also moved the proposed power line away from existing development.
