  • East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi'kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study
    East Bay Hills Wind Project Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study Prepared for: Cape Breton Hydro Inc. December 2012 – Version 1 M.E.K.S. Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) on behalf of Cape Breton Hydro Inc. (CBHI) for the proposed East Bay Hills Wind Power Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

  • 2. Canadian Electric Power Generation Sector
    2. CANADIAN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION SECTOR The following section provides an overview of the existing EGUs in Canada. The units’ state of operation including fuel utilization and mercury content will be assessed providing thus, an estimation of total mercury input during normal operation. Air pollution control technologies, currently installed at facilities, will be listed along will their natural mercury capture rate. It will be assessed in concurrence with the reported mercury emissions in the air, water and soil. Following this analysis, Canadian low-mass mercury emitters and peaking units will be identified. Future hypothetical facilities, defined by Environment Canada, will be presented with expected mercury emissions. 2.1 Canadian electricity generation fleet Electricity is generated in Canada using five technological approaches: hydroelectricity, conventional steam power, nuclear steam power, internal combustion systems and forthcoming renewable energy like wind and tidal power. Electric production units have generated 623 TWh of electricity in 2007 (Tab. 2-1) corresponding to a 9% increase from 1998 total production.1 Public and private EGUs were responsible for 93.3% of total production. Hydroelectricity and conventional steam power covers 80% of total electricity production originating mostly from Quebec and Ontario. Total production in 2007 represented 57% of nameplate electric generating capacity (124.2 GW) for the entire Canadian fleet.
