MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality of Lorne CANADA - MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality of Lorne Report D70 Government Gouvernement Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada of Manitoba du Manitoba `/~~~) SOILS REPORT No . D70 1986 Soils of the Rural Municipality of Lorne by , M. N. Lanqman CANADA-MANITOBA SOIL SURVEY AGRICULTURE CANADA MANITOBA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This soils study was conducted as a joint project of the Canada Department of Agriculture, Manitoba Department of Agriculture and the Soil Science Department, University of Manitoba . The soils were mapped by : L . Hopkins, M. Langman, C . Aglugub, G . Podolosky, E . St . Jacques and W . Michalyna . Special erosion, salinity and landscape data was collected by M . Morien and S . Rigney . Laboratory analysis were provided by R . Mirza, K .C . Yeung and J . Madden under the direction of P . Haluschak . Mapping bases were provided by the Land Resource Research Institute, Otta- wa . Map compilation and digitization in preparation for publication and addi- tion to CanSIS cartographic file was provided by J . Griffiths, R . DePape and M . Brown . Manuscript review and soil correlation were provided by R .E . Smith, G . Mills and W . Michalyna . Final typing of report manuscript was provided by D. Sandberg . HOW TO USE THIS SOIL REPORT This soils report contains considerable information about the soils, their origin and formation, their classification and their potential for various uses such as dryland agriculture, irrigation, engineering and recreation . The report is divided into four parts : Part I provides a general description of the area ; Part 2 describes the methodology used in the study ; Part 3 discusses the development, scientific classification and morphological characteristics of the soils in the study area, and Part 4 provides an interpretation of soil properties and associated landscape features as they affect soil capability or suitability for various uses . The soil map of the study area is compiled on an uncontrolled air piaoto base which is included in a pocket of the report folder . The map shows the distribution of soil types and associated landscape features that are signifi- cant for potential use as field management units . It provides a linkage from landscapes within the study area to the information contained in the report . To assist the user in retrieving soil information quickly, the following steps are suggested : If project consists of many individual maps, proceed with STEP 1 ., if only single map in pocket, proceed with STEP 2 to 6 . STEP 1 Consult the index to map sheets if the report contains many maps . Locate the areas of interest and note the map-sheet number(s) which identify the township and range on each map . STEP 2 Consult the soil map in pocket of report folder . Locate the area(s) of interest on the map and identify the pertinent map unit symbols . Arabic numerals placed as superscripts following map symbols indi- cate the approximate proportion of each soil type within the map unit . STEP 3 Consult the extended legend accompanying the soil map for an alpha- betical listing of soil symbols giving the soil name, classifica- tion, drainage and related information concerning landforms, nature and depth of materials, and dominant vegetation . STEP 4 For interpretive information about the soils, consult the appropri- ate Table in Part 4 . Criteria utilized as quidelines in making these interpretations are provided in the Appendix . STEP 5 Further information concerning the morphological properties and extent of the soils is presented in Part 3 where the soils are described alphabetically according to soil name . - iv - STEP 6 Additional site-specific information not contained in this report is available on request from the Canada-Manitoba Soil Survey, Ellis Building, University of Manitoba .

Redistribution is meant to reflect population growth and the territorial shifts in population both among and within provinces. There are two steps in the redistribution process. The first step involves a recalculation of the number of seats in the House of Commons given to each province based on new population estimates and a complex formula contained in the Constitution. After the current redistribution, the number of seats in the House of Commons will have increased from 308 to 338. Four provinces—Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario—will gain seats. Along with five other provinces, Manitoba is retaining the same number of seats (14) that it had before

Economic Geology Report (ER) 1978-2002 The Economic Geology Page 9 Report Series is a twin to the Geological Report Series, but contains the results of comprehensive economic geology studies. These reports may represent an inventory and assessment of the mineral resource base of a specific region or may deal with large scale, usually multi-year, exploration projects. They are normally the products of original investigation complemented by study and analyses of existing data and should provide new concepts and new information which would assist in mineral resource exploration, evaluation and exploitation.

    Enbridge Pipelines Inc. Southern Lights Project Enbridge Southern Lights LP Volume II 5.2.21 Manitou Station (NW 17-4-8 WPM) Proposed project activities at the Manitou Station include installation of four new pumps (1,500 HP), a new electrical services building and a sump system for the LSr project component. Proposed activities associated with the Line 2 modifications project component at the Manitou Station include relocation of the DRA skid. SUMMARY OF BIOPHYSICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ELEMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE MANITOU STATION MODIFICATIONS Biophysical and Socio-Economic Elements Summary of Considerations Physical Environment • Manitou Station lies within the Souris Plain Subdivision of the Western Upland Physiographic Division (Barto and Vogel 1978). • The site is underlain by the Coulter Member of the Riding Mountain Formation. The Coulter Member is characterized by soft grey bentonitic clayey siltstone and shale (Manitoba Mineral Resources Division 1979). • There are no areas of permafrost in the vicinity of Manitou Station (NRC 2006a). • There are no documented major earthquakes, landslides or avalanches in the vicinity of the site (NRC 2006b, c,d). • The topography in the area of Manitou Station is level and the elevation is approximately 1,590 m asl. • The site encounters glacial till composed of calcareous clay diamicton, predominantly derived from Mesozoic shale from above the Manitoba escarpment (Manitoba Land Initiative 2006). • The modifications to Manitou Station will be undertaken within an existing pump station site. Possible sources of soil contamination include spot spills and leaks that may have occurred during past onsite activities. A search of the Federal Contaminated Sites and Solid Waste Landfills Inventory and the Manitoba Contaminated Sites List has revealed no listed contamination at the site (Manitoba Conservation 2002, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat 2006).

Priority Item #1 Community Safety Issues The AMM recommends the government: ✓ Ensure municipalities receive all necessary tools, resources and sufficient funding to law enforcement to help mitigate illicit drug use within local communities. • Given the increasing prevalence of methamphetamines, illicit drug use presents an urgent and growing threat to local communities and public health throughout Manitoba. • The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted individuals living with mental illness and addictions throughout Manitoba. • Over the past year, the need for addiction supports and resources has become heightened due to the pandemic. • Currently, there are insufficient resources to educate Manitobans about methamphetamines as well as unsatisfactory supports for those addicted and their families. • As community safety and crime prevention are among the top priorities of Manitoba municipalities, the AMM encourages Manitoba Health, Wellness and Recovery to increase support and necessary resources to help mitigate illicit drug use in local communities.
