PURPOSE The South Branch Wind Farm Archaeological and Heritage Resources Assessment Report is prepared for the purpose of compliance with section 20 of Ontario Regulation 359/09, which amends the Environmental Protection Act for the Renewable Energy Approvals under Part V.0.1 of the Act. Section 20 requires consideration of impacts from the South Branch Wind Farm to archaeological resources, heritage resources and protected properties within the project area. This report provides a summary of this investigation, the potential for impacts that have been identified and, where appropriate, mitigation measures. A preliminary version of this report is made available to Aboriginal stakeholders, public stakeholders and agency stakeholders for review prior to the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) submission. This report is available online for download at www.prowind.ca and available in hard copy at select locations identified on the website and in newspaper advertisements. A final version of this report is included in the REA submission to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). 2. PROJECT OVERVIEW Prowind Inc. (Prowind) is a Canadian wind energy developer based in Hamilton, Ontario. It is affiliated with its parent company, Prowind GmbH, based in Osnabrück, Germany. Prowind’s mandate is to create small-scale, renewable and zero-emission power generation. Prowind believes in distributed generation that has a minimum impact on the surrounding environment and landscape. The South Branch Wind Farm is a 30 MW project that will employ the use of up to 14 wind turbines generators. These wind turbines have a maximum hub height of 140 meters and a maximum rotor diameter of 118 meters. Final turbine specifications have not been established, but for the purpose of assessing the potential impact, maximum possible dimensions are utilized for the REA preparation. The operational wind farm will consist of wind turbine generators, access roads, a substation and a combination of underground and above ground cabling to connect the turbines to the substation and the substation to the feeder line. In addition, there will be a storage shed, and a designated operations and maintenance building for the life of the project. During the construction and decommissioning, there will be additional, temporary infrastructure including: 3 concrete wash ponds and a construction office trailer. The project is proposed on privately owned, agricultural land as well as municipal easements surrounding the hamlet of Brinston, Ontario. The project turbines are located March 26, 2012 1 Archaeological and Heritage South Branch Wind Farm Resources Assessment Report in two main areas. The western area is defined by properties directly on each side of Byker Road, between Dobbie Road and Branch Road to the north and Pitt Road and Sandy Creek Road to the south. Turbines in the eastern area lie on either side of County Road 16 (Brinston Road) between Oak Valley Road to the north and Cook Road to the south. Figure 1 illustrates the project location within Ontario. Figure 2 shows the project area with proposed infrastructure layout.

The amount of time and labor involved can be justly estimated only by those who have been engaged in simi­ lar undertakings. The materials have been drawn from a great variety of sources, and their collection and arrange­ ment, the harmonizing of discrepancies, and, in extreme cases, the judicious guessz'ng at probabilities, have in­ volved more of perplexity than the ordinary reader would suppose. Records of every description, and almost with­ out number, have been examined either personally or through the officials having them in charge, and in one case as distant as Cape Town in South Africa,- records of families, churches, parishes, towns, counties, in foreign lands as well as in the United States; land records and probate records, cemetery inscriptions, local histories, and general histories, wherever accessible.

  • William Marsh, 'A Rather Shadowy Figure
    William Marsh, ‘a rather shadowy figure,’ crossed boundaries both national and political Vermont holds a unique but little-known place in eighteenth-century American and Canadian history. During the 1770s William Marsh and many others who had migrated from Connecticut and Massachusetts to take up lands granted by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth, faced severe chal- lenges to their land titles because New York also claimed the area between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers, known as “the New Hampshire Grants.” New York’s aggressive pursuit of its claims generated strong political tensions and an- imosity. When the American Revolution began, the settlers on the Grants joined the patriot cause, expecting that a new national regime would counter New York and recognize their titles. During the war the American Continental Congress declined to deal with the New Hampshire settlers’ claims. When the Grants settlers then proposed to become a state separate from New York, the Congress denied them separate status. As a consequence, the New Hampshire grantees declared independence in 1777 and in 1778 constituted themselves as an independent republic named Vermont, which existed until 1791 when it became the 14th state in the Ameri- can Union. Most of the creators of Vermont played out their roles, and their lives ended in obscurity. Americans remember Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys and their military actions early in the Revolution. But Allen was a British captive during the critical years of Vermont’s formation, 1775-1778. A few oth- ers, some of them later Loyalists, laid the foundations for Vermont’s recognition and stability.

  • Small Arms in the Canadian Department 1
    B: SMALL ARMS IN THE CANADIAN DEPARTMENT 1 Ordnance reports prepared in the Canadian Department often organized small arms returns in three categories: 1) those that were immediately Serviceable and available for issue; 2) those that were moderately damaged and Repairable and 3) those that were Unserviceable and only useful for the cannibalization of parts. Of course, the Armourers could take parts from Unserviceable muskets and use them to repair others and then return them to the Serviceable category. So, over time, small arms moved from Repairable and Unserviceable into the Serviceable category. Rather than clumping all the Serviceable arms into one total, at times they were listed as having iron or wooden rammers or as being British, French or Dutch in origin. At other times, Ordnance listed Serviceable arms in even more precise categories, such as New Pattern, Old Pattern, Short and several Sorts; however, we are left to surmise what constituted ‘New Pattern’ versus ‘Old Pattern’. Was it as simple as Short Lands versus Long Lands? Or, muskets with iron rammers versus those with wooden? Alan Guy in his landmark book, Oeconomy and Discipline wrote, The Board of Ordnance supplied a regiment with its firelocks and bayonets. The regiment was accountable to the Board for the weapons it had received and it was insisted upon that, when it was reduced, surplus firearms should be returned to store and the Ordnance value paid for those missing or ruined, the exceptions being weapons lost or damaged on active service for which proper vouchers could be submitted, and (in practice) those worn out by the passage of time… The routine repair of firelocks was chargeable to the [regiment’s] non-effective fund.

  • South Nation Watershed Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints
    South Nation Watershed Take Only Photographs, Leave Only Footprints The South Nation river system begins near Brockville and reaches as far east as Maxville and as far west as the City of Ottawa. The South Nation Watershed reaches over 4,000 square kilometres throughout Eastern Ontario and is drained by the river system. The South Nation Conservation Authority works tirelessly to ensure that all wildlife, forests, parks, and trails are maintained, protected and monitored within the watershed. The conservation authority also produces helpful maps and guides that include suggested canoe and kayak routes, conservation areas and trails as well as a Photos ©South Nation Conservation fishing guide for the area. Canoe and kayak routes along the South Nation River are popular and are ideal for novice and experienced paddlers alike. The Canoe and Kayak Routes Guide breaks the river into five different day-long trips, starting in places like Spencerville, Chesterville and Plantagenet. The “Mill Run” begins at Spencerville Mill and is very popular during the spring time when the water levels are high. The Conservation Areas and Trails Guide lists parks and hiking trails that are part of the watershed system. The guide includes trails suited for all abilities as well as trails that are accessible year-round. The Fishing Guide includes fishing guidelines in Ontario as well as a helpful list of common species of fish an angler may find themselves face to face with while fishing on the South Nation River. For a copy of the South Nation Conservation Authority’s guides, call 1-877-984-2948 or see www.nation.on.ca for more information.
