(Golder) was retained by Capital Power Corporation (Capital Power) to prepare a Post- Construction Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (PCMMP) for their proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Power Project (the Project) located within the County of Paintearth and Flagstaff County, approximately 12 kilometres (km) northeast of Halkirk, Alberta. The Project is located within portions of Townships 39 and 40, Ranges 13, 14 and 15, W4M (Figure 1). The Project will consist of 74 Vestas V110 2.0 megawatt (MW) wind turbines, for a total installed nameplate capacity of 148 MW. The project will also include access roads, an underground electrical collector system, and a substation. The PCMMP describes the proposed post construction monitoring activities and mitigation measures Capital Power proposes to implement during construction and operation of the Project and focuses on understanding direct impacts to birds and bats over a three-year period, as detailed within the following sections. The PCMMP accompanies the submission of the Environmental Evaluation, as per requirements identified in The Approach section of the updated Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) Wildlife Directive for Alberta Wind Energy Projects (the Directive), dated January 27, 2017 (AEP 2017). Ultimately, the Environmental Evaluation will support Capital Power’s application to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) for a permit to construct and a licence to operate the Project. This PCMMP follows the recommendations outlined in the Directive, the Canadian Wildlife Service’s (CWS’s) Wind Turbines and Birds: A Guidance Document for Environmental Assessment (CWS 2007a), and the Recommended Protocols for Monitoring Impacts of Wind Turbines on Birds (CWS 2007b).

The post-construction monitoring program will assess the effectiveness of mitigation efforts and determine whether additional or modified mitigation measures are warranted. Post-construction monitoring for the Project will be carried out during the first three years of Project operation, and will consist of the following: duplication of select pre-construction wildlife inventory surveys; weekly bird and bat mortality searches at one-third of the turbines (25 of the 74 turbines), between March 1 and October 30. The same plots will be used for both bird and bat mortality searches; three searcher efficiency trials each season (i.e., spring, summer and fall) for each search technician; three scavenger impact trials, equally spaced out (i.e., early, middle and late), during each season; and

Revised 2005 Printed in Canada Agricultural Land Resource Atlas of Alberta Agricultural Land Resource Atlas of Alberta Background Alberta and Canada jointly conducted a scan of the environmental issues facing agriculture in Alberta as a commitment under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Agricultural Policy Framework (APF). The purpose was to identify areas to target Environmental Farm Planning (EFP) efforts and Beneficial Management Practice (BMP) incentive funding. A scan refers to a geographic assessment of the location, extent and severity of environmental issues associated with primary agriculture production. Five components were considered in the environmental scan: surface water quality, groundwater quality, soil erosion risk, air quality and biodiversity. The vulnerability of each component to impacts from agriculture was considered with respect to the physical characteristics of the component and agricultural activities carried out. Various geographic-linked data sets were selected and used to form risk factors for each of the five components in each land location.

    DETAILED IMPACT ANALYSIS Jasper Interconnection Project Internal Project File No: J14-067 Prepared for ATCO Electric Ltd. Version 3.0 June 2017 CH2M HILL Canada Limited 540 12 Ave SW Calgary, AB T2R 0H4 CA (403) 407-6000 (403) 407-6001 Executive Summary Introduction and Project Description ATCO Electric Ltd. (ATCO Electric) is proposing to construct and operate the ATCO Electric Jasper Interconnection Project (the Project), which will connect Jasper National Park (JNP) with the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES). The current electrical generation network for JNP is nearing the end of its operational life, and ATCO Electric is proposing to construct a new 69-kilovolt (kV) single-circuit transmission line (to be designated 6L530) spanning approximately 44.7 kilometre (km) from Jasper, Alberta to an AIES interconnection point at the JNP boundary at SW 14-49-27 W5M (see Figure ES-1). As part of the Project, ATCO Electric intends to construct the Sheridan Substation 2085S (Substation) located within the existing Palisades Thermal Generating Station (Palisades) site at NW 2-46-1 W6M. When the substation is commissioned, ATCO Electric will decommission Palisades. Regulatory Framework The following subsections provide information on the regulatory context for the Project within JNP. Canada National Parks Act In JNP, this Project is allowable under Section 38(a) of the National Parks General Regulations, whereby the Minister may enter into an agreement for the development, operation and maintenance in the Park of electrical services for use only in the Park. As part of decommissioning of Palisades, ATCO Electric will reduce the current fence line to a smaller area around the substation.

Jacques Cardinal , from Lac la Biche, and his crew completed the 144 kilometre trail in the spring of 1825. But, soggy ground, muskeg and fallen timBer spiked the trail.
