WHAT IS THE In February 2018, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) launched Round 2 of the Renewable Electricity Program AESO (REP Round 2) – a competitive procurement program to promote RENEWABLE the development of approx. 300 megawatts (MW) of large-scale renewable electricity generation. REP Round 2 focused on ELECTRICITY committing to work with Indigenous communities to encourage PROGRAM? participation in Alberta’s electricity sector. On December 17, 2018, the Government of Alberta announced the results of REP Round 2. REP Round 2 competition awarded five wind projects totaling 363 MW.
The Cypress Wind Power Project was selected and awarded a contract.

Page 38 2-2019 MEMORANDUM TO: David Warner EDF Renewables Canada Inc.
FROM: Steve Schnick, P.Eng. WSP Canada Inc.
SUBJECT: Shadow Flicker Explanation DATE: April 16, 2018
INTRODUCTION At the request of EDF Renewables Canada Inc. (“EDF”) WSP conducted a shadow flicker analysis for the proposed Cypress Wind Power Project (the “Project”). The objective of this analysis was to determine the locations within the Project and surrounding area that will be subject to shadow flicker and to quantify the extent of that shadow flicker. This memo discusses what shadow flicker is, how shadow flicker is caused, and the various factors that can reduce the shadow flicker experienced at a residence. The results of the shadow flicker analysis are presented on a per-residence basis in the Project maps provided by EDF.
WHAT IS SHADOW FLICKER? Shadow flicker from a wind turbine can be defined as alternating changes in light intensity caused by shadows cast from the moving blades. Shadow flicker only occurs under certain conditions and only affects certain areas in and around a wind farm. Conditions that affect shadow flicker include: — Location of the turbines relative to the receptor (residence): For there to be any possibility of shadow flicker, a turbine must be in the path of sun shining on the receptor. If the sun passes behind a turbine (as seen from the receptor) there will be shadow flicker; otherwise not. Because the location of the turbine is fixed and the path of the sun in known for all times of the day and all seasons, it is possible to determine the regions in an around a wind farm that will receive shadow flicker. — Time of day: Shadow flicker occurs as the sun passes behind a turbine, typically for a period of time following sunrise or prior to sunset when the sun is low in the sky. — Time of year: Shadow flicker occurs at specific times of year when the sun, turbine, and receptor line up. — Weather conditions: Shadow flicker only occurs during periods of bright sunshine. — Wind direction: The turbine pivots to face the wind and this changes the size of its silhouette. The size of the silhouette affects whether shadow flicker will occur and the intensity of the shadow. — Wind Speed: Shadow flicker occurs only when there is sufficient wind for the turbine to operate. During periods when the wind speed is below approximately 11 kilometres per hour (3 metres per second), the turbine will not operate, the blades will not spin, and there will be no shadow flicker. Page 39 — Distance from the turbine: As the distance from the turbine increases, the intensity of the flicker decreases, eventually diminishing to a point where it is no longer perceptible. — Obstacles: Obstacles, such as tall hedges, trees, or large structures may block the shadows from the turbine.
HOW IS SHADOW FLICKER CALCULATED? Shadow flicker is calculated using specialized computer software that models the location of the observer, the location of the turbines, the local terrain, and the path of the sun. The computer model determines when shadow flicker events can occur based on the position of the sun with respect to the turbine blades and the observer; shadow flicker events will only happen on specific days of the year and during specific times of the day. The model also assumes that the turbine blades are always spinning, that the turbine is always directly facing the sun (or the observer), and that the sun is always shining brightly between sunrise and sunset.
The result calculated by the model is called the worst-case shadow flicker because it is the maximum amount of shadow flicker that can be produced. However, actual wind and weather conditions will reduce or even eliminate some of the shadow flicker events. It is important to consider that the modeling assumptions used in the shadow calculation are conservative and may result in an overestimation of the shadow flicker amounts. The analysis assumes that the observer is sensitive to shadow flicker from any direction (this is referred to as “greenhouse mode”). The actual size, location and orientation of the windows relative to turbine locations may reduce the degree of flicker experienced by the observer. As well, the presence of trees and other obstacles not considered by the model may also reduce the effects of shadow flicker.
HOW DOES WEATHER AFFECT SHADOW FLICKER? Actual wind and weather conditions will reduce or even eliminate some of the shadow flicker events. This is because the sun does not shine brightly at all times (e.g., during cloudy periods), the turbine blades will not be spinning during low wind speed periods, and changes in wind direction will cause the turbine to cast a smaller shadow. These conditions will vary throughout a given year, and will also vary from year to year. To account for these changing conditions, the worst-case results are adjusted based on long-term average wind and weather data. The result of this adjustment is called the adjusted-case shadow flicker because it represents the amount of shadow flicker that can be expected on average over a long-term period. This is sometimes also referred to as the average shadow flicker, corrected- case shadow flicker or real-case shadow flicker.
HOW DOES WIND DIRECTION AFFECT SHADOW FLICKER? As the wind direction changes, the turbines pivot to face the wind and that changes the silhouette of the turbine. A reduced silhouette either reduces the intensity of the shadow flicker or eliminates it for certain periods. Figure 1 and Figure 2 show simulations1 of a turbine as it would appear at a distance of 1,750 m to the west. The size of the sun in the figures is representative of actual size (0.533 arc degrees) and
1 The simulations were generated with the WindPRO photomontage module. Page 40 is in the same position in both figures. In Figure 1, the wind is from the west and therefore the turbine is also facing west, into the wind. In this example, the turbine is presenting its maximum silhouette between the sun and the receptor. As the turbine blades rotate they will periodically pass in front of the sun causing a flickering shadow. In Figure 2, the wind is from the north and therefore the turbine is also facing north, into the wind. In this example, the blades will not pass in front of the sun while they are rotating and no shadow flicker will be generated. At other times, the sun may still pass behind the blades in which case there will be shadow flicker but at a reduced intensity.
Figure 1: Wind from West Figure 2: Wind from North
Figure 3 shows the wind direction distribution at met mast 1141. The wind blows predominantly from the southwest which means that the turbines will also be predominantly pointing to the southwest.
Figure 3: Wind Direction Distribution (Frequency %) at Red Rock Met Mast 1141
Page 41 HOW DOES DISTANCE FROM TURBINES AFFECT SHADOW FLICKER? The intensity of the shadow flicker decreases as the distance between the observer and the turbine increases, eventually becoming imperceptible. The reason for this is that as the distance from the turbine increases, the turbine blade will obscure less of the sun as it passes in front of it. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show two scenarios for a turbine. Figure 4 simulates what it would look like from 1,750 metres to the west. Figure 5 shows it as it would look at a distance of 550 m. The size of the sun in both figures is representative of actual size (0.533 arc degrees). As seen from 1,750 m away, the area of sun that is obscured by a passing turbine blade is small relative to the size of the sun, resulting in a diminished shadow flicker intensity. At 550 m, as depicted in Figure 5, the passing turbine blade will completely obscure the sun, causing a higher intensity shadow flicker. Shadow flicker is generally considered to be relevant when at least 20% of the area of the sun is obscured by the passing of the turbine blade.
Figure 4: 1,750 m from turbine Figure 5: 550 m from turbine

Page 50 A16 - PRAIRIE POST - Friday, March 15, 2019 Alberta Nickel Group Developments: new company, new plan for millennial living BY RYAN DAHLMAN — [email protected] Chris Nickel is one who likes to think outside of the box. What is something that is innovative, will help people and hopefully change things for the better? Having grown up in a family where home building was a part of life, what better roots does an innovative idea grow from, than with the support and now working cooperation and know-how of family? Chris and his brother Dustin (BBA) are co-developers of Nickel Group Developments, a brand new building company which does builds custom homes, does commercial renovations as well as partake in some special developments. It is within this special development project realm where Chris expects the new family company to make some waves.

Hello,
The status has not changed.
The Canadian Coast Guard does not have any communication or radar facilities in Alberta, therefore there are no interference issues for us to consider.
Regards / Salutations,
Martin Grégoire, P. Eng Canadian Coast Guard
From: Ingold, Nicholas
Hello,
WSP, on behalf of Cypress Renewable Energy Centre Limited Partnership, would like toseek your input on potential interference between the proposed Cypress Wind Power Project and any Coast Guard operations or activities (e.g., radio communications, radars, etc.).
The proposed Cypress Wind Power Project is located in southeastern Alberta and consists of 48 Enercon E138 turbines with the following dimensions: - Total Turbine height (Blade at 12 o’clock position) = 177 m [580.71 ft] - Rotor Diameter = 138 m [452.76 ft] - Steel Tower Height (Hub Height) = 108 m [354.33 ft]
Based on our previous correspondence, WSP understands that the Canadian Coast Guard does not have any telecommunications or RADAR infrastructure in Alberta. Since some time has passed since our last correspondence, we would like to confirm that the Cypress Wind Power Project will not have any impacts on Coast Guard operations.
The turbine locations are shown in the attached map.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Best regards,

Dear Madam/Sir: WSP Canada Inc. has been contracted by the EDF Renewables Canada to consult with government agencies to support project approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). The intention of this letter is to provide information to DND regarding the proposed wind power project and to assist in ensuring Canada’s defence RADAR and air traffic network are not negatively impacted by the project’s development.
INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT BACKGROUND The Cypress Wind Power Project (the project) is a proposed wind turbine farm in southeast Alberta. The project will consist of 48 wind turbines, and when operational, will generate 201.6 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 100,000 homes. The present turbine layout is shown in Appendix A. The project is located approximately 30 km southeast of Medicine Hat, AB.
PROJECT DETAILS Attached to this letter is the Wind Turbine Submission Form Spreadsheet providing the following information: 1. Coordinates for the proposed turbines; 2. Turbine base elevation (above sea level); 3. Turbine structure height (above ground level); 4. Turbine blade diameter; and, 5. Overall Turbine elevation (above sea level). Additional information is provided in the following sections.

March 8, 2019 Dear Neighbour, Thank you for your ongoing interest in the Cypress Wind Power Project (Project), and for taking the time to provide your input. The Project is owned by Cypress Renewable Energy Centre Limited Partnership and the Kainai Nation (Blood Tribe). Cypress Renewable Energy Centre Limited Partnership is a subsidiary of EDF Renewables Canada Inc. (EDF RC). In December 2018, it was our pleasure to announce that the proposed Project has been awarded a contract for this Project through the Alberta Electric System Operator’s Renewable Electricity Program Round 2 (REP Round 2). We also informed you of modifications to the Project boundary. As a result of stakeholder feedback, further technical evaluations and to reflect the requirements for REP Round 2, we have made some modifications to the Project. These proposed changes aim to mitigate environmental impacts and optimize the layout. The changes made include: selection of the turbine technology; addition of several permanent meteorological tower locations; reduction in the number of turbine locations from 61 to 48 turbine locations; and modification of the layout for the turbine locations, collector system, access roads, laydown area, operations and maintenance building, and Project substation. We would like to invite you to our upcoming public open house to discuss the Project, the proposed changes, and answer any questions you may have: Cypress Wind Power Project Open House Tuesday, March 26, 2019 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) Irvine & District Agricultural Society 207 Francis St., Irvine, Alberta, T0J 1V0 Our Project team and subject matter experts will be available to share Project updates, gather stakeholder feedback and answer questions. We have included four documents to accompany this letter with further information about the Project and EDF RC’s public involvement process: A Project newsletter, which describes the proposed Project modifications, upcoming development activities, and frequently asked questions; A Project map showing the current Project boundary, modified Project layout, updated shadow flicker results, and updated noise assessments demonstrating compliance; Updated visual simulations of the selected turbine technology on the proposed turbine locations; and
Page 97 The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Brochure — Public involvement in a proposed utility development.
Proposed Turbine Changes In Fall 2017, we indicated that we were considering one of two turbine models: Option A (Vestas 4.2 megawatt (MW)) and Option B (Gamesa 3.465 MW) on 56 and 61 potential turbine locations respectively. Based on your feedback and further technical analysis, we are now proposing to install the Enercon E138 4.2 MW turbine rather than either of the options previously presented. If approved, the proposed Project will have a total of 48 turbine locations. Each turbine will have a capacity of 4.2 MW, with a total Project capacity of 201.6 MW. The Project newsletter has more information on the proposed Enercon E138 turbine as well as updated noise and shadow flicker analyses on the Project map. CONTACT US Thanks to your input, we believe these changes reflect a reduced overall Project impact. We will continue to engage with the community, landowners, and local government, and we look forward to receiving your feedback about these changes and the Project. We will be filing our application to the AUC in the coming months.

THE PROJECT
201.6 The proposed Cypress Wind Power Project (the Project) is a partnership between Cypress Renewable MW Energy Centre Limited Partnership and Kainai Nation (Blood Tribe). Cypress Renewable Energy Centre Limited Partnership is a subsidiary of EDF Renewables Canada Inc. (EDF RC). The proposed Project will generate 201.6 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to power up to 100,000 Albertan homes. If approved, EDF RC will develop, construct, and operate the Project southeast of Medicine Hat, Alberta, closest to the Hamlet of Dunmore, near the intersection of Highway 41 and Township Road 100 in Cypress = County. In November 2017, EDF RC sent a Project-Specific Information Package (PSIP) and hosted a public open house with information on potential turbine models and locations. In December 2018, we sent a brief update to share the exciting news about the Renewable Electricity Program Round 2 (REP Round 2) results and to provide a map with the modified Project boundary. Since then, we have continued to engage with landowners and stakeholders to gather feedback about the Project. In this update, we would like to provide 100,000 information about our proposed changes to the Project, our development activities since December 2018, and the next steps for the Project.

Page 103 Page 5 CONSULTATION AND NEXT STEPS
As EDF RC moves through the regulatory and permitting process, we will continue to work closely with the community, landowners and local WE TRULY government to design our Project in a way that is respectful to the needs, heritage and future of Cypress County. We truly appreciate the feedback we have received so far, and we encourage you to continue to provide APPRECIATE us with comments and concerns. EDF RC will provide a comprehensive summary of stakeholder feedback as part of our application to the AUC, which we anticipate submitting in Q2 2019. YOUR FEEDBACK
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Over the last year, we heard from landowners and residents about the risk of fire and appropriate levels of insurance. Safety is one of EDF RC’s seven Core Values which are taken seriously. We operate more than 10,000 MW of electricity generation across North America and it is imperative that we do so safely. We have developed a site-specific Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to meet the need of the local community. It provides details on how fire risk is addressed and includes roles and responsibilities for notification and response in the unlikely event that a fire or any emergency occurs. We have reviewed the ERP with the Fire Chief to ensure we are working together on this important document. We will continue engaging with the local emergency services to ensure correct and up-to-date mitigation and response measures are applied as the Project evolves through different stages of development.

Page 104 Page 6 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long will construction take? We anticipate construction will start in Q2 2020 and will end by June 2021. Construction typically includes civil works, access road preparation, foundation installation, turbine delivery and erection, collector system installation, and electrical and mechanical completions.
How do you plan to manage construction dust and increased traffic?
With any large infrastructure project there will be increased traffic during the construction phase. We will implement traffic control and dust mitigation measures during the Project’s construction. We will determine these measures in consultation with Cypress County. We will also discuss haul routes for turbines and other infrastructure with Cypress County. We will limit the time for construction-associated traffic in consultation with local authorities and work with local residents to ensure a safe process with as few impacts as possible to local residents and their seasonal agricultural practices.
Do wind turbines impact human health? There have been some claims that noise from wind turbines can impact human health. EDF RC has completed a third-party noise impact assessment. The assessment considers Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 012: Noise Control, and it includes cumulative sound emissions from nearby facilities, including oil and gas facilities. Noise levels must not exceed 40 decibels at nighttime. Our Project must comply with this Rule otherwise the AUC will not approve the Project. The results of the assessment are demonstrated in the Project Layout.
Health Canada completed a $1.4 million study from 2012 to 2015 assessing if wind turbines affected health. The study found that there is no scientific evidence to support negative effects on human health resulting from exposure to wind turbine noise. More information is available from the Health Canada study at www.canada.ca
What is shadow flicker?
Shadow flicker can occur at certain times of the year. Blades can cast a moving shadow over windows, creating a flicker effect indoors which can cause annoyance. Shadow flicker can occur when turbines are sited close to homes. A shadow Flicker Analysis Summary Report is available upon request.
EDF RC has conducted an independent shadow flicker analysis to ensure turbines are properly located to mitigate potential shadow flicker impacts. This study considers the probability of cloud cover, but it does not consider the orientation of residences or the location of windows in residences. The results of this study are available in the Project Layout, Adjusted Case Shadow Flicker and Noise Map. All residences fall within internationally accepted thresholds.
Page 105 Page 7 What is the emergency response protocol in the event of a fire? Safety is a core value of EDF Renewables Canada Inc. During construction, we will employ robust safety protocols, including restricting public access to the construction site. In addition, there will be security controls on site and we will employ traffic mitigation strategies. We will continue to consult with the community throughout the process. During operations, the Project will have a supervisory, control, and data acquisition system that connects each turbine to a central operating system. This system monitors the turbines 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In the event of an emergency, the controller will send an automatic alarm notification to the operations staff and the remote operations centre. The on-site staff or the remote operating staff will initiate a shut down. If a fire is detected, staff will immediately call 911 to dispatch the local fire department, and staff will implement the protocols outlined in the emergency response procedures. EDF RC has been working closely with local emergency services to develop an emergency response plan. We will continue engaging with local emergency services to adapt appropriate response measures through various phases of the Project.
Will my property value be impacted? There is no conclusive evidence in Alberta about whether property values are affected by neighbouring wind power projects. Three recent wind power project applications in Alberta received by the AUC considered the potential impact of wind power projects on property value. The AUC concluded the following:
“The Commission was not presented with sufficient evidence in this proceeding to suggest that the project will result in an adverse impact on property values of parcels adjacent to the project.” — Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project (E.On Climate & Renewables Canada Ltd.)1 “The Commission has not been presented with sufficient cogent evidence in this proceeding to suggest that the project will result in an adverse impact on property values of parcels adjacent to the project and finds that any limitations on subdivision potential is too speculative.” — Bull Creek Wind Project (BluEarth Renewables Inc.)2 “The Commission finds that there was insufficient evidence presented to show that land use would be impacted by the project, particularly given that no components of the project will be sited on nonparticipating landowners’ property. With respect to the project’s potential impact on property values, the Commission was not presented with sufficient evidence in this proceeding to suggest that the project will result in an adverse impact on property values of parcels adjacent to the project.” — Halkirk 2 Wind Project (Capital Power)3
There have been numerous studies completed on this subject and the general consensus is that there is little evidence to support claims that property value is impacted by neighbouring wind power projects. To date, the most comprehensive study on wind power projects and property values was conducted by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The study analyzed more than 50,000 home sales near 67 wind power projects across nine U.S. states over ten years and found no statistical evidence that operating wind power projects have had any measurable impacts on home sale prices. Similarly, the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) evaluated these claims in a detailed study in 2008, 2012 and 2016 entitled Impact of Industrial Wind Turbines on Residential Property Assessment in Ontario. This report studies properties within five kilometres of a wind turbine, and whether their assessment is equitable to those situated more than five kilometres
from a wind turbine. The assessed value of a property does not change due to nearby wind 1-AUC Decision 3329-D01-2016. May 19, 2016. 2-AUC Decision 2014-04. February 20, 2014. 3-AUC Decision 22563-D01-2018. April 13, 2017. turbines. This finding is consistent with MPAC’s reports.
What steps are you taking to protect the environment, specifically birds and bats? EDF RC has completed environmental studies for the Project. The subjects of these studies included vegetation, wildlife, and wetlands. Based on the survey results, we have applied the appropriate setbacks for the Project infrastructure from sensitive environmental features. We will submit the results of our surveys and our environmental evaluation to Alberta Environment and Parks for their review. All wind power projects in Alberta must consider their potential impact on wildlife. Examples of precautionary measures include implementing setbacks from habitats, avoiding the extensive use of above-ground transmission lines, and ensuring an appropriate distance between each turbine. EDF RC will complete post-construction monitoring as required. Page 106 Page 8

Hi Michael,
I hope this email finds you well. Previously, my colleague David Warner contacted you regarding the development of our Cypress Wind Power Project to consult with you on any impacts you may see from the Project or for any questions/comments you may have. I would like to just follow up and provide you with an update to our Project.
Page 117 In December 2018, Cypress Wind Power Project was awarded a contract with the AESO through their Renewable Electricity Program (REP) Round 2 and will be anticipating to be constructed in 2021.
Since David has last reached out, there has been updates made to our Project. Some of them are: our layout has changed to accommodate the new turbine technology we are anticipating to use; and collection routing and access roads have been modified to accommodate stakeholder feedbacks.
There are more detailed information to the changes and you can find this in the attached Project Specific Information Package.
Upon your and your team’s review, if you have any questions or comments regarding our Project, please do not hesitate to contact me. I remain available to your inquiries. If you can also forward this to the Base Commander for their review and comments/sign-off, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Susan Jin Associate Developer

Dear Mr. Ingold,
This email will serve the purpose to update you on the RCMP co-ordina on effort for "Cypress Renewable Energy Centre Limited".
Our reviewing engineer has noted that this analysis shows that there are s ll no RCMP owned repeater sites or Point-To- Point microwave radio links opera ng above 890 MHz that would be affected by the proposed loca ons of the wind turbines.
Best regards,

Hello Raymond,
WSP on behalf of EDF-RE would like to provide you with an update on the Cypress Wind Power Project.
Since your last communica on with Steve Schnick, there have been some changes to the loca ons and dimensions of the proposed turbines.
EDF-RE has selected the new, larger, Enercon E138 turbine, thereby reducing the total number of turbines to 48. The new dimensions for the E138 turbine are as follows: Total Turbine height (Blade at 12 o’clock posi on) = 177 m [580.71 ] Rotor Diameter = 138 m [452.76 ] Steel Tower Height (Hub Height) = 108 m [354.33 ]
The new turbine layout is Version 22 (V22) and the turbine loca ons are shown in the a ached map and mul ple coordinate spreadsheet.
Given your previous responses, we do not an cipate that there will be any changes to your conclusions. If you could provide confirma on that these updates are acceptable for RCMP opera ons that would be much appreciated. However, should you have any ques ons or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Best regards,

Hello,
As a follow-up to the emails below, I wanted to inform you that the proposed turbine layout for this wind project has been updated to reflect minor adjustments to some of the turbine loca ons. As well, the final turbine model has been selected.
Please find a ached a spreadsheet of the new turbine coordinates along with eleva ons. The current proposed turbine is the following: · Vestas V136: total turbine height (to upper blade p) will be 150 m; the rotor will have a diameter of 136 m; the tower will be 82 m tall.
Given your previous response, I expect there will be no change to your conclusions. However, if you do have any ques ons or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks, Steve

Good day,
Please see attached for our response to your wind farm coordination request.
Regards
Jonathan Lafrenière Wind farm administrative coordinator Tel : 613-949-3806 Fax: 613-998-7528 Email:[email protected]

To whomever it may concern:
I am coordinating the consultation process with radiocommunication licensees in the vicinity of a proposed wind farm according to the recommendations in the document, Technical Information and Coordination Process Between Wind Turbines and Radiocommunication and Radar Systems, published by the Radio Advisory Board of Canada.
I would like your input on the potential for interference between RCMP radiocommunication facilities and a proposed wind farm to be located approximately thirty (30) kilometres southeast of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The project is in the design stage and subject to change upon consultation with stakeholders. The bounding box for the current project lands is provided below in WGS84 degree decimal coordinates. The attached map illustrates the approximate boundary of the current project lands.
The preliminary details of the wind power project are as follows: Located north of Amherst, Nova Scotia: o North: 49.9349° N o South: 49.7193° N o East: 110.2232° W o West: 110.5569° W
The number and size of turbine to be installed is yet to be determined.
I would appreciate a response indicating whether or not there is a potential conflict. If there is a potential conflict, I would like to follow up with more detailed conversation to mitigate any concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
Les Ryan, P.Eng.

Hello Jennifer,
WSP, on behalf of EDF-RE would like to provide you with an update on the Cypress Wind Power Project.
Since your last communica on with Steve Schnick, there have been some changes to the loca ons and dimensions of the proposed turbines.
EDF-RE has selected the new, larger, Enercon E138 turbine, thereby reducing the total number of turbines to 48. The new dimensions for the E138 turbine are as follows: Total Turbine height (Blade at 12 o’clock posi on) = 177 m [580.71 ] Rotor Diameter = 138 m [452.76 ] Steel Tower Height (Hub Height) = 108 m [354.33 ]
The new turbine layout is Version 22 (V22) and the turbine loca ons are shown in the a ached map.
Given your previous response, we do not an cipate that there will be any changes to your conclusions. If you could provide confirma on that these updates are acceptable for STARS opera ons that would be much appreciated. However, should you have any ques ons or concerns, please let us know.
Best regards,
Nicholas Ingold, EIT Project Designer, Aviation Transportation

Hi Jennifer,
As a follow-up to the emails below, I wanted to inform you that the proposed turbine layout for this wind project has been updated to reflect minor adjustments to some of the turbine loca ons. As well, the final turbine model has been selected.
Please find a ached a spreadsheet of the new turbine coordinates along with eleva ons. The current proposed turbine is the following: · Vestas V136: total turbine height (to upper blade p) will be 150 m; the rotor will have a diameter of 136 m; the tower will be 82 m tall.
Given your previous response, I expect there will be no change to your conclusions. However, if you do have any ques ons or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks, Steve

Hi Jennifer,
I am a project manager with WSP Canada Inc. and we are working as a technical consultant for EDF EN Development Canada (EDF).
EDF is the developer of the proposed Cypress Wind Power Project located about 30 km southeast of Medicine Hat, Alberta.
On behalf of EDF, I would like to share updated project details that have been defined since our previous communica on.
There are currently two turbine model op ons being considered for the project, each with its own proposed layout; only one of these op ons would ul mately be constructed: Siemens-Gamesa G132: total turbine height (to upper blade p) will be 150 m; the rotor will have a diameter of 132 m; the tower will be 84 m tall. Layout Lv07. Vestas V136: total turbine height (to upper blade p) will be 150 m; the rotor will have a diameter of 136 m; the tower will be 82 m tall. Layout Lv08.
Please find a ached maps showing the two turbine op ons.
Given your previous response, I expect there will be no change to your conclusions. However, if you do have any ques ons or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks, Page 149 Steve

Hello Les,
It looks like there isn’t any hospitals that we service in the area depicted in the map so the only type of call that would be effected from and takeoff and landing perspec ve would be a scene call. Given the distance from Calgary most scene (hwy, industrial, recrea onal etc) calls would become interfacility with a pick up from the Medicine Hat hospital so minimal impact.
For enroute al tudes for flying at night and in instrument condi ons our minimum al tudes would poten ally be higher due to the higher obstacles in the area.
Please let me know if you require any further informa on.
Kind regards,

Dear Ms. Thiel:
I am coordina ng the consulta on process with stakeholders in the vicinity of a proposed wind power project to be located approximately forty (40) kilometres southwest of Medicine Hat, Alberta. The project is in the design stage and subject to change upon consulta on with stakeholders. The bounding box for the current project lands is provided below in WGS84 degree decimal coordinates. The a ached map illustrates the approximate boundary of the current project lands.
The preliminary details of the wind power project are as follows: · Located southwest of Medicine Hat, Alberta: o North: 49.7994° N o South: 49.5833° N o East: 110.6736° W o West: 111.0075° W
The number and size of turbine to be installed is yet to be determined.
I would appreciate a response indica ng whether or not there is a poten al conflict. If there is a poten al conflict, I would like to follow up with more detailed conversa on to mi gate any concerns you may have.
Sincerely,
Les Ryan, P.Eng.
