Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

1.0 INTRODUCTION Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (Trans Mountain) has prepared the Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) (Volume 6 of the Environmental Plans) as a companion to the Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs) (Volumes 1 through 5 and Volume 9 of the Environmental Plans) for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (“the Project” or “TMEP”). The EMPs are intended to be read in conjunction with the EPPs and provide further detail regarding mitigation strategies to be employed to avoid or reduce potential adverse environmental effects during the construction and operations phases of the Project. The various components of the EMPs supplement information contained in the Project EPPs and address NEB Conditions for the Project, where applicable. The Wildlife Conflict Management Plan is found in Volume 6 of the EMPs.

This Plan was released to Appropriate Government Authorities and affected landowners/tenants on December 10, 2016 for a review and feedback period, which concluded on March 10, 2017. A letter was sent to Aboriginal groups with a copy of the Wildlife Conflict Management Plan on April 28, 2017 for a second review and feedback period, which concluded on May 19, 2017.Trans Mountain incorporated any feedback into the final Plan or has provided rationale for why input has not been included, as summarized in Appendix A.

1.1 Objectives The primary objective of the Wildlife Conflict Management Plan (the Plan) is to provide direction to Project personnel to ensure that wildlife conflicts are reduced or avoided during the construction of the Project. Measures described in this Wildlife Conflict Management Plan will assist in preventing or reducing human-wildlife conflicts associated with all phases of the Project. The Plan provides guidelines for:

• preventing direct and indirect mortality of wildlife; and

• reducing wildlife-related safety concerns for Project personnel.

Specific measures to reduce potential conflicts with grizzly bears, black bears and rattlesnakes are presented in this management plan. For each species, measures to avoid encounters, directions on what to do in case of an encounter, and the steps to follow after an encounter are provided.

1.2 Background Wildlife conflicts with personnel may occur during construction and operation of the Project. Potential conflict situations may arise due to vehicle collisions, attraction to garbage and debris, and human encroachment. The magnitude of the conflict will depend on the species involved and the nature of the conflict. Although efforts will be made to avoid, limit or mitigate potential effects on wildlife and wildlife habitat wherever they occur, certain locations may be particularly sensitive to the presence of Project personnel. Trans Mountain will develop resource-specific approaches to reduce and address the potential conflict between Project personnel and the wildlife species most likely to be encountered along the Project and at associated facilities (see Section 4.0 of Volume 7 of the Environmental Plans).

Where disturbance is unavoidable, Trans Mountain will consult with the Appropriate Government Authorities and, as appropriate, interested and affected Aboriginal groups to identify possible options and management strategies to be implemented.

1.3 Links to Other Trans Mountain Environmental Plans This Plan does not replace or contradict mitigation measures presented elsewhere in the environmental plans but is to be used in association with other Plans. A selection of plans with relevance to wildlife conflict management are noted below:

• Project-specific EPPs, particularly the Temporary Construction Lands and Infrastructure EPP, and the Pipeline EPP (Volumes 1 and 2 of the Environmental Plans);

• Wildlife Species of Concern Encounter and Discovery Contingency Plan (Volume 2 of the Environmental Plans);

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 1

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

• Waste Management Plan (Section 3 of Volume 6 of the Environmental Plans);

• Compliance Management Plan (Volume 10 of the Environmental Plans);

• Project-specific wildlife mitigation plans, including those prepared in response to NEB Conditions 44 and 56 and BC EAO Conditions 16, 18 and 19; and

• construction workforce impact plans, including a code of conduct prepared in response to NEB Condition 59 and BC EAO Condition 24.

2.0 CONSULTATION AND ENGAGEMENT The Wildlife Conflict Management Plan was released to Appropriate Government Authorities and affected landowners/tenants on December 10, 2016 for a review and feedback period which concluded on March 10, 2017. A letter was sent to Aboriginal groups with a copy of the Wildlife Conflict Management Plan on April 28, 2017 for a second review and feedback period, which concluded on May 19, 2017. Trans Mountain incorporated any feedback into the final Plan or has provided rationale for why input has not been included. A summary of consultation and engagement activities related to wildlife conflict management for the Project is provided in Appendix A.

3.0 MANAGEMENT APPROACH The following approach will be applied for the Project to avoid or reduce the risk and severity of wildlife conflicts.

• All Project personnel and other visitors to the Project will participate in Trans Mountain’s Environmental and Compliance Education Program, which will include a discussion of the purpose and requirements of the Wildlife Conflict Management Plan.

• Construction camps will be constructed and maintained to prevent any bears and/or other wildlife from gaining access to the site. A camp-specific human-wildlife conflict management plan will be developed prior to camp occupancy to include site-specific details on fencing, waste storage, disposal and transport, and contact information in the event of a wildlife conflict.

• Appropriate fencing will be installed at other Project temporary facilities, such as stockpile sites, if warranted, to limit the potential for wildlife conflicts.

• A wildlife reporting system will be implemented so that Project personnel are informed of any wildlife activity they should be aware of (i.e., to avoid/manage wildlife conflicts) around camps and work sites.

• Pets are prohibited on Project facility and construction sites.

• Establish speed limits, approved by Trans Mountain, on the pipeline construction footprint and access roads. Post signs stating the applicable speed limits for construction traffic to reduce the risk of collisions with wildlife.

• Report all wildlife collisions to the Environmental Inspector, who will in turn notify the Appropriate Government Authority and the local conservation officer, if applicable. Follow the incident reporting processes outlined in the Project Emergency Response Plan (NEB Condition 89) for safety related incidents (see Appendix D for Appropriate Government Authority contacts).

• Utilize multi-passenger vehicles for the transport of crews to and from the job site, to the extent practical to reduce traffic during construction.

• Minimize traffic and prohibit recreational use of all-terrain vehicles or snowmobiles by Project personnel on the pipeline construction footprint and at facilities.

• All potential attractants in construction camps will be stored, as noted below, so that they are inaccessible to wildlife.

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 2

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

- No food will be left outside unattended (e.g., in beds of pick-up trucks). All food will be stored indoors in appropriate containers.

- Garbage and food waste will be stored where bears cannot access the material and will not be allowed to pile up or develop strong odours. Used cooking oil and grease, and meat and fish scraps are powerful wildlife attractants. These materials will be collected and stored in an airtight container with a lid within a bear-proof garbage container until they can be disposed of.

- No food will be stored in facilities when they are closed for any length of time unless the storage area is bear-proof.

- Signage explaining proper food storage or garbage disposal will be posted at strategic locations in camp, such as dining areas, kitchens, garbage receptacles and waste disposal sites.

- All garbage and food waste will be regularly transported to the nearest bear-proof transfer station or landfill for proper disposal.

- Grey water (wastewater from sinks, showers and basins) can combine the odours of cooking grease, food particles and soap. This can be a strong wildlife attractant. Grey water will be treated so that it does not attract wildlife in an approved waste management system.

- Accumulations of human waste (e.g., sewage) can attract wildlife. Large, long-term camps will require an approved waste treatment system. Portable toilets should be regularly cleaned to reduce odours.

- Daily inspections of facilities and camps will be made to ensure wildlife attractants are disposed of and secured in appropriate containers.

- Project personnel and Contractors will be prohibited from hunting and fishing along the right-of-way and at other construction sites during Project construction.

3.1 Reducing and Managing Conflicts with Black Bears and Grizzly Bears Darkness, dense vegetation, blind corners, noise, wind, precipitation, fog and other conditions may make it difficult for people to see or hear a bear. Undetected bears in a construction camp pose a potential risk to people and equipment. Two main situations leading to human injury by bears include:

• when humans suddenly surprise a bear at close range, particularly a female bear with cubs; and

• when food-conditioned bears, that are also human-habituated, aggressively approach people for food.

The following measures for avoiding a bear encounter and reducing the risk of injury to Project personnel and the bear(s) will be implemented.

• All Project personnel working in bear country will receive education regarding bear awareness. Without a good understanding of the principles and practices of staying safe around bears, personnel may not properly respond to interactions and may perpetuate misinformation. The following information will be made available during the Project orientation:

- differentiating between grizzly and black bears;

- general ecology of grizzly and black bears relevant to human safety;

- grizzly and black bear ecology in the Project area;

- a discussion of the processes of human-habituation and food conditioning;

- the detrimental effects of directly or indirectly feeding wildlife, including bears;

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 3

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

- how to work safely in bear country and avoid bear encounters;

- how to avoid attracting a bear by properly managing non-natural attractants;

- how to avoid inadvertently displacing bears from important habitats;

- awareness that a bear encounter may occur despite all necessary precautions and guidelines on how to behave during a bear encounter;

- locations or contacts for reporting bear observations or bear-human conflicts; and

- further information and suggested readings.

• Camps located in areas with the potential for bears to occur will be designed and maintained to prevent surprise encounters with bears. Any feature on pathways and around buildings that may conceal a bear and increase the chance of a surprise encounter will be eliminated or reduced. Examples of those features are outlined below:

- thick vegetation, such as shrubs that may obscure visibility, will be cleared or mowed to increase sightlines;

- skirting will be attached to buildings to prevent bears, particularly young bears, from taking refuge under them;

- building exits, pathways and outside work areas will be well lit to allow people to move about the camp more safely when it is dark; and

- all camp buildings will have secure doors and windows; a window in a door, or next to it, allows people to check for bears before exiting, and larger buildings will have more than one exit.

3.1.1 Deterring a Bear Encounter The approach for deterring a bear encounter includes the following.

• In the event of an aggressive/habituated bear frequenting a Project site (e.g., camp, facility or construction site), the Environmental Inspector in consultation with a qualified Wildlife Resource Specialist will review the situation and methods available (e.g., bear spray, air horn, electric fencing) to deter the bear. The Appropriate Government Authority will be asked to assist in situations where bears become aggressive (see Appendix D). A bear that has obtained human food or garbage may be difficult to deter. Eliminating rewards that attract a bear is critical for deterrent efforts to succeed.

• Any encounter and, if necessary, deterring methods will be managed on a case-by-case basis, utilizing appropriate measures that maximize human and bear safety. The Appropriate Government Authority will be notified of bear encounters (see Appendix D).

• Project personnel will report immediately to an Environmental Inspector or Camp Manager any bear that has entered a construction camp, other facility site, or construction site and/or has obtained human food or garbage. The Environmental Inspector or Camp Manager will immediately notify the Appropriate Government Authority (see Appendix D). If the bear(s) has obtained human food or garbage, the source will be removed and the reason for the occurrence will be immediately rectified to ensure the bear(s) receives no further food rewards.

3.2 Reducing and Managing Conflicts with Rattlesnakes Rattlesnakes may be encountered in areas north of Kamloops, (BC) within and near the Lac du Bois Grasslands Park; the measures described below are applicable only to these areas where rattlesnakes may be encountered. Potential encounters are generally limited to activities scheduled during periods when snakes are breeding or migrating to forage sites or hibernacula (i.e., April to October).

Rattlesnakes are cryptic snakes, camouflaged in their habitat by their colouration and behaviour. Rattlesnakes are generally quiet and non-aggressive. Their first response to potential danger is to stay

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 4

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

quiet and camouflaged. Their second response is escape. If cornered rattlesnakes will rattle their tails vigorously while forming an aggressive coil with the head raised and the neck in an ‘s’ shaped curve. Striking is a last resort, usually employed if cornered or when the snake is facing immediate physical injury (i.e., if stepped on).

As a result of their cryptic colouration and behaviour, rattlesnake presence goes largely undetected with the exception of direct encounters. Rattlesnake-human encounters may occur in two scenarios:

• when humans encounter a rattlesnake in its natural habitat, generally associated with rocks or vegetation; and

• when rattlesnakes use anthropogenic objects for cover that may then be moved by humans, leading to an encounter.

The following measures for avoiding a rattlesnake encounter and reducing risk of injury to Project personnel and rattlesnakes will be implemented in locations with potential for encountering rattlesnakes (i.e., within and near Lac du Bois Grasslands Park north of Kamloops, BC).

All Project personnel working in locations where rattlesnakes are likely to be present will receive education regarding rattlesnake awareness and staying safe in snake habitat. The following information will be made available during the rattlesnake awareness training:

• differentiating between snake species, including rattlesnakes and gopher snakes, which imitate rattlesnake behaviour and are often misidentified;

• snake ecology in the Project area;

• how to work safely in snake habitat and avoid snake encounters;

• how to avoid displacing snakes from important habitats;

• awareness that a snake encounter may occur despite all necessary precautions and guidelines on how to behave during a snake encounter; and

• contact information for reporting snake observations.

Work sites will be managed and maintained to prevent encounters with snakes using the following measures.

• Openings on temporary structures and buildings (e.g., stairs, as warranted) will be closed-in, so that snakes and other small animals are not trapped inside them.

• Keep work sites uncluttered so that snakes moving through an area will not be attracted to stay. As rattlesnakes mainly eat small mammals, discourage small mammals like mice and voles from living on site by keeping the work site tidy and garbage-free.

• During construction, remove anthropogenic objects like woodpiles, leftover construction materials, brush piles, and rock piles in work areas, which may be used as cover, as soon as feasible.

• Exclusion fencing will be used in select areas identified as important for dispersal/movement by snakes to deter snakes from accessing/crossing the construction area (dependent on Project scheduling). Locations will be approved by an Environmental Inspector with guidance from a Wildlife Resource Specialist in consultation with the Appropriate Government Authority.

• A Wildlife Resource Specialist will be retained if Project activity occurs during the active season for western rattlesnake (mid-March to mid-November, dependent on weather). The open pipeline trench and the perimeter of exclusion fencing will be monitored for snakes on a daily basis (at a minimum).

Project personnel will take the following actions and precautions to avoid human-snake encounters:

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 5

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

• be familiar with snake species and behaviours;

• stay on established trails and roads;

• wear long loose pants and high boots that cover the ankles; this will help protect the legs and feet should a snake accidentally be stepped on, causing it to bite;

• always be aware of hand and foot placement; and

• avoid reaching into piles of rocks, under logs or objects, or into shrubs where snakes may be resting or concealed.

3.2.1 Managing a Rattlesnake Encounter The approach for managing a rattlesnake encounter includes the following.

• Project personnel will report immediately to an Environmental Inspector any snake that has been discovered at a facility or construction site.

• Any snakes encountered on construction sites will be relocated to a safe, suitable location within 500 m of where it was encountered. Any relocation of snakes will be conducted by a Wildlife Resource Specialist.

• Any encounter will be managed on a case-by-case basis, utilizing appropriate measures that maximize human and snake safety.

3.3 Reducing and Managing Conflicts with Other Wildlife If any wildlife behaviour is unusual or aggressive to the point that Project personnel are concerned about human safety or damage to property, Project personnel will notify an Environmental Inspector. The Environmental Inspector will ensure local wildlife officials are informed as soon as possible, when warranted.

Encounters with moose and elk may be dangerous. Bull moose and elk may be more aggressive towards humans during the rutting season in September and October. In late spring and summer (i.e., May and June), cow moose and elk with young calves are very protective, and may be aggressive during an encounter. Personnel working in the field will take the following precautions.

• Project personnel will not approach, feed or harass moose or elk.

• If moose or elk are encountered, Project personnel will take the following actions:

- be non-confrontational and allow the moose or elk space and escape routes; and

- if the moose or elk becomes aggressive or charges, find cover behind a tree or vehicle, or run away.

Cougars and wolves may be encountered in the Project area. Cougars are nocturnal, solitary and elusive predators that are not often observed. Wolves are known to travel along rights-of-way, although unprovoked aggressive interactions are extremely rare. Project personal will take the following actions and precautions.

• Surprise encounters will be avoided by making noise.

• Project personnel will not approach cougars or wolves if encountered, remain calm and allow the animal to pass by.

• Project personnel will adhere to the following guidelines if a cougar or wolf is encountered and becomes aggressive:

- stay calm, face the animal and retreat slowly, instead of running or playing dead;

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page 6

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

- shouting and making oneself appear large by waving sticks may deter the animal; and

- should the animal attack, it is important to fight back as aggressively as possible, and not play dead.

3.3 Aboriginal Engagement Since April 2012, Trans Mountain has engaged with Aboriginal groups who might have an interest in the Project or have Aboriginal interests potentially affected by the Project, based on the proximity of their community and their assertion of traditional and cultural use of the land along the pipeline corridor to maintain a traditional lifestyle. The objectives of Aboriginal engagement are to:

• have an open, transparent and inclusive process that seeks to exchange information in a respectful manner;

• address concerns shared by those who might have an interest in the Project or have Aboriginal interests potentially affected by the Project;

• incorporate feedback into Project planning and execution; and

• provide opportunities to maximize Project benefits to Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal groups.

A comprehensive Aboriginal engagement process is led by experienced engagement advisors in Alberta and BC, specialized in the areas of Aboriginal relations, law, economic development, education, training, employment and procurement. Trans Mountain’s engagement process for the Project is flexible, allowing each community and group to engage in meaningful dialogue in the manner they choose and in a way to meet their objectives and values.

Each community had the opportunity to engage with Trans Mountain, depending on Project interests and potential effects. The following opportunities to engage have been provided:

• Project announcement;

• initial contact with Aboriginal community or Aboriginal group;

• meetings with Chief and Council and meetings with staff;

• host community information session(s);

• conduct Traditional Land Use (TLU) studies and socio-economic interviews;

• identify interests and concerns; and

• identify mitigation options.

No comments related to wildlife conflicts were raised during Aboriginal engagement from between early 2012 to May 2017. Trans Mountain continues to liaise with Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, the Government of Canada’s Major Projects Management Office, the BC Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and the Alberta Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs to provide updates regarding Trans Mountain’s engagement activities with Aboriginal groups.

3.3.1 Identifying Aboriginal Groups for Consultation Appendix C lists the Aboriginal groups identified for consultation. Throughout regular engagement with TMEP, any Aboriginal groups would have been added to the list if they had identified wildlife conflict management as a concern.

3.3.2 Consultation Activities A letter was sent to the Aboriginal groups listed in Appendix C with a copy of the Wildlife Conflict Management Plan on April 28, 2017 for a review and feedback period, which concluded on May 19, 2017. Where appropriate and upon request, a follow up meeting was arranged to discuss this Plan in more detail and address any concerns. This final Plan will be shared with the Aboriginal groups at the same time as the Plan is filed with the NEB in 2017.

01-13283-GG-0000-CHE-RPT-0044 Page A-3

Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Wildlife Conflict Management Plan Trans Mountain Expansion Project 687945/May 2017

No concerns or questions about the Plan were expressed by Aboriginal groups.

3.4 Landowners/Tenants Trans Mountain has implemented a comprehensive landowner engagement process for the TMEP to:

• ensure landowners are informed of the Project and how it may affect them;

• enable landowners to gain an understanding of their rights under the NEB Act, and the regulatory process and their opportunities for comment within the NEB regulatory process; and

• have a number of opportunities to discuss the Project, identify my concerns or questions they may have with the project, and have those questions and concerns addressed by Trans Mountain.

In addition to these opportunities for engagement, Trans Mountain is required to provide formal notifications of landowners under Sections 87 and 34 of the NEB Act, and Trans Mountain has or will, at the appropriate time, provide such notices.

Individual landowners and tenants have different preferences with respect to communications, and Trans Mountain tailors its communications as requested. Land representatives working for Trans Mountain have been in discussions with landowners for over three years and issues or concerns raised with land agents have been documented in the Project landowner database, addressed within site specific construction plans and documented within the land rights agreements. Trans Mountain has filed reports with the NEB providing details on the landowner engagement program and results to date. In accordance with NEB Condition 99, records of engagement and consultation with landowners and tenants will be filed with the NEB at least two months prior to commencing construction and every six months thereafter until five years after commencing Project operations.

Trans Mountain’s landowner/tenant consultation strategy includes the activities described below.

1. Prior to Project approval - obtain landowner permission for survey, provide information on the project and landowner rights, provide copies of land agreement documents to the landowners for their review and consideration, dialogue with each landowner to answer questions and address concerns raised by landowners, provide Project updates, and disseminate any other information necessary to satisfy landowner requests and regulatory requirements. After addressing outstanding questions and issues, obtain land agreements from landowners voluntarily. Land agreements have and will address specific landowner concerns regarding construction and reclamation activity. 2. After obtaining a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the NEB, Trans Mountain will provide Section 34 notices indicating the detailed route for the pipeline and the specific lands affected by the Project, and complete any additional regulatory procedures required prior to commencement of construction, including providing reasonable notice through land agents of commencement date and activities. Trans Mountain land representatives will continue to maintain contact with landowners through construction to answer questions and address any issues that may arise. Following construction, maintain communication with landowners to discuss reclamation activities and timing. Upon completion of reclamation, Trans Mountain will transition the Project land program to operations.

Respecting this report, Trans Mountain notified landowners by letter in September 2016 that NEB Condition plans were being released for consultation and feedback. The landowner notification letter requested that landowners review the reports available on the TMEP website, or alternatively contact their assigned land representative or Trans Mountain directly if they wished to receive hard copies of the reports to review. No responses or requests for copies of the reports were received by Trans Mountain and no concerns or questions about the reports were expressed by landowners.
