Environmental Impact Assessment Mine Decommissioning Penobsquis Potash Deposit ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT MINE DECOMMISSIONING PENOBSQUIS POTASH DEPOSIT Submitted to: Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Incorporated (PotashCorp) NB Division Penobsquis, New Brunswick Submitted by: Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, a Division of Amec Foster Wheeler Americas Limited Fredericton, New Brunswick April 2016 TE154017.4000 PotashCorp Environmental Impact Assessment Decommissioning of Potash Mine – Penobsquis Deposit Penobsquis, New Brunswick April 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In late October 2012, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. - New Brunswick (NB) Division (PotashCorp) began mining the Picadilly deposit, located approximately 400 metres (m) south of the original Penobsquis mine, and jointly operated both mines for approximately 12 months. In November 2015, mining operations permanently ceased at the Penobsquis mine and plans to decommission the site were formulated. Although decommissioning of the Penobsquis site will include removal of the site service shaft and production shaft head frames, as well as other surface infrastructure, the primary components of the decommissioning will involve the underground mine facilities (the Project). Considering that in the near future there will not be any reason to access the underground mine workings at Penobsquis, it is proposed that the management of the underground inflow be stopped, the mine be allowed to flood naturally and the shafts be capped or plugged. Shaft capping/plugging options are currently under review and final design will be reviewed and approved through New Brunswick Department of Energy and Mines (NBDEM). The Project is considered an undertaking subject to approval under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Regulation of the New Brunswick Clean Environment Act. The Project activities are also subject to stipulations under the New Brunswick Mining Act. PotashCorp has retained the services of Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, a Division of Amec Foster Wheeler Americas Limited (Amec Foster Wheeler) to prepare this EIA report in support of the registration of the Project under the provincial EIA process. A description of both the surface and subsurface environments within which the Project activities will occur, or potentially have an influence on, was developed from existing information. Potential positive and negative interactions between Project activities and the environment were identified. Where negative interactions were anticipated, and potential effects were a concern, methods for mitigating and/or monitoring the effects have been proposed. A description of the existing environment in the Study Area as well as the Subsurface Study Area (SSA) has been presented (see Section 4.0) based on available information. The Valued Environmental Components (VECs) identified by issue scoping and pathway analysis (see Section 5.0) for which potential effects may be a concern included: ambient air quality; physiography and drainage; surface water; groundwater; mineral resources; species at risk, migratory birds and wildlife; migratory birds; fish, fish habitat and fisheries resources; labour, industry and commerce; existing land use; and TE154017_PotashCorp_Decomm_EIA_29Apr2016.docx TE154017.4000 www.amecfw.com Page i PotashCorp Environmental Impact Assessment Decommissioning of Potash Mine – Penobsquis Deposit Penobsquis, New Brunswick April 2016 heritage and archaeological resources. This report also identifies measures intended to mitigate potential environmental concerns, and provided a discussion of potential residual effects resulting from the proposed Project. As the Project progresses discussion surrounding monitoring and mitigation will continue. Based on this Study, given the proposed mitigation and monitoring, no significant adverse residual effects are anticipated as a result of the Project.

  • Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and Lahave River Areas of Nova Scotia
    Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and LaHave River areas of Nova Scotia David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney and Alain Belliveau Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre November 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, through their Species at Risk Conservation Fund. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity provided by the fund to have visited these botanically significant areas. We also thank Sean Basquill for mapping, fieldwork and good company on our Polletts Cove trip, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park for assistance with vehicle transportation at the start of that trip. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS All photographs included in this report were taken by the authors. 1 INTRODUCTION This project, funded by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund, focused on two areas of high potential for rare plant occurrence: 1) the Polletts Cove and Blair River system in northern Cape Breton, covered over eight AC CDC botanist field days; and 2) the lower, non-tidal 29 km and selected tidal portions of the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, covered over 12 AC CDC botanist field days. The Cape Breton Highlands support a diverse array of provincially rare plants, many with Arctic or western affinity, on cliffs, river shores, and mature deciduous forests in the deep ravines (especially those with more calcareous bedrock and/or soil) and on the peatlands and barrens of the highland plateau. Recent AC CDC fieldwork on Lockhart Brook, Big Southwest Brook and the North Aspy River sites similar to the Polletts Cove and Blair River valley was very successful, documenting 477 records of 52 provincially rare plant species in only five days of fieldwork.

  • 1469 Vol 43#5 Art 03.Indd
    1469 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 43, pp. 1469-1487 (2005) BORATE MINERALS OF THE PENOBSQUIS AND MILLSTREAM DEPOSITS, SOUTHERN NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA JOEL D. GRICE§, ROBERT A. GAULT AND JERRY VAN VELTHUIZEN† Research Division, Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O. Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6P4, Canada ABSTRACT The borate minerals found in two potash deposits, at Penobsquis and Millstream, Kings County, New Brunswick, are described in detail. These deposits are located in the Moncton Subbasin, which forms the eastern portion of the extensive Maritimes Basin. These marine evaporites consist of an early carbonate unit, followed by a sulfate, and fi nally, a salt unit. The borate assemblages occur in specifi c beds of halite and sylvite that were the last units to form in the evaporite sequence. Species identifi ed from drill-core sections include: boracite, brianroulstonite, chambersite, colemanite, congolite, danburite, hilgardite, howlite, hydroboracite, kurgantaite, penobsquisite, pringleite, ruitenbergite, strontioginorite, szaibélyite, trembathite, veatchite, volkovskite and walkerite. In addition, 41 non-borate species have been identifi ed, including magnesite, monohydrocalcite, sellaite, kieserite and fl uorite. The borate assemblages in the two deposits differ, and in each deposit, they vary stratigraphically. At Millstream, boracite is the most common borate in the sylvite + carnallite beds, with hilgardite in the lower halite strata. At Penobsquis, there is an upper unit of hilgardite + volkovskite + trembathite in halite and a lower unit of hydroboracite + volkov- skite + trembathite–congolite in halite–sylvite. At both deposits, values of the ratio of B isotopes [␦11B] range from 21.5 to 37.8‰ [21 analyses] and are consistent with a seawater source, without any need for a more exotic interpretation.

Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Peterborough. © Joint Nature Conservation Committee 2018 Guidelines for the Selection of Biological SSSIs - Part 2: Chapter 12 Bryophytes (2018 revision, v1.0) Cover note This chapter updates and, along with Chapter 13 Lichens and Chapter 14 Non-lichenised fungi, replaces the previous Non-vascular plants SSSI Selection Guidelines chapter (Nature Conservancy Council 1992). It was prepared by Sam Bosanquet (Natural Resources Wales), Jonathan Cox (Natural England) and David Genney (Scottish Natural Heritage), and provides detailed guidance for use in selecting bryophyte sites throughout Great Britain to recommend for notification as SSSIs. It should be used in conjunction with Part 1 of the SSSI Selection Guidelines, as published in 2013 (Bainbridge et al 2013), which detail the overarching rationale, operational approach and criteria for selection of SSSIs. The main changes from the previous version of the chapter are: • only bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) are considered; • assemblage scoring is based on ecologically coherent assemblages; • scores for Nationally Scarce species are constant across Britain; • two Atlantic assemblages have scoring systems that include non-Scarce Hyperoceanic species; • a criterion for selecting the largest population of Red List species in each of England, Scotland and Wales is included; and • discontinuation of the Schedule 8 species selection criterion.
