Environmental Protection Plan Eastern Mainline Pipeline Project October 2014 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) outlines environmental protection measures to avoid or reduce potential adverse effects during construction of the Eastern Mainline Pipeline Project (the Project), proposed by TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TransCanada, the Company). The Project is located in southeastern Ontario and follows the existing TransCanada pipeline right-of-way (ROW) for the Canadian Mainline, which roughly parallels the northwest side of Highway 401. The Project involves the construction and operation of a new buried pipeline and related components to transport natural gas. The pipeline is approximately 245 kilometres (km) in length and has a 914 millimetre (mm) (36 inch) outside diameter (OD) (nominal pipe size (NPS) 36) and four distinct sections. Related components include 15 valve sites and new compressor unit additions at five existing compressor stations (co-located) along the route. The Project will extend from TransCanada’s Mainline Valve (MLV) 132 near the City of Markham, east to MLV 145A of the Canadian Mainline near the community of Iroquois in the Township of South Dundas. The Project footprint required for construction consists of both permanent ROW and temporary workspace (TWS). The Project generally requires a construction ROW of 42 metres (m); however, this ROW width will vary based on site-specific factors. To the extent possible, TransCanada has aligned and overlapped the Project along the Canadian Mainline ROW or other linear disturbances such as pipelines, roads and electrical power lines, to reduce the requirement for new permanent ROW. The Project parallels existing disturbance considered contiguous by the National Energy Board (NEB) (i.e., parallel to an electrical transmission line, oil or gas pipeline, railway or all-season public highway) for approximately 195 km or 79.4 percent (%) of the ROW. In addition to the permanent ROW, the Project footprint includes TWS at staging areas, side bends, highway, railway, road, pipeline and watercourse crossings, where grading is necessary, and at other locations to accommodate safe pipeline construction activities. Temporary infrastructure, such as access, stockpile sites and contractor yards will be required during construction. Some new permanent access may be required for pipeline operations. New electrical power transmission lines and facilities constructed, owned and operated by third party power providers might also be required to operate the new compressor unit additions and cathodic protection sites. Design, construction and operation of the pipeline will be in compliance with all applicable codes, standards and regulations. This EPP outlines environmental protection measures during construction and operations of the pipeline and related components including valve sites and temporary infrastructure required for the Project. Separate EPPs have been prepared for the construction of new and modified compression facilities co-located at five existing compressor stations along the ROW. The EPP is written in construction specification format and should be read in conjunction with the Environmental Alignment Sheets (Appendix C of the Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment [ESA]), as well as the Eastern Mainline Compressor Stations EPP. This EPP provides Project-related environmental mitigation measures and commitments to be addressed during the detailed pipeline engineering design, construction and post-construction reclamation phases. The EPP is based on: • TransCanada’s Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Commitment; • TransCanada’s HSE Management System; • feedback obtained through consultation and engagement; • results of the biophysical field programs; • commitments made in the ESA; and, • professional experience. Page 1 PDF Page 5 of 216 TransCanada PipeLines Ltd. Environmental Protection Plan Eastern Mainline Pipeline Project October 2014 Revisions to the EPP may occur as a result of: • results of supplemental studies; • commitments made during the regulatory review process including information requests (IRs); • National Energy Board (NEB) Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Conditions; and, • engagement programs with Aboriginal communities and other stakeholders. Subject to regulatory approvals, pipeline construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 2016 with the pipeline scheduled to be in-service, and the operations phase to commence at the end of Q1 2017. Clean-up and post-construction reclamation of disturbed portions of the ROW will be conducted immediately

    LENNOX & ADDINGTON’S CONNECTING COMMUNITIES 2019 ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR LENNOX & ADDINGTON Our Vision: A financially strong, connected, vigorously active, widely recognized and highly respected charitable foundation capable of major contributions toward strengthening and growing prosperity and fulfillment in our people and living areas in all parts of Lennox and Addington...in perpetuity. Established in 1987, the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington manages charitable gifts from donors. Those gifts are pooled into permanent, income-earning endowment funds. The income from our endowment funds is distributed annually in the form of grants for charitable and educational purposes. Since our inception in 1987, The Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington has provided grants and bursaries in excess of one million dollars for the benefit of communities throughout the region of Lennox and Addington. WHAT IS VITAL SIGNS? Community Foundations across Canada produce Vital Signs check-ups in order to identify trends and to measure well-being factors in their regions. Vital Signs projects identify ideas, uncover needs, and promote collaborations that motivate communities to act. For most of our 32-year existence, our Community Foundation has operated as the Napanee District Community Foundation. In 2015, we produced a Greater Napanee Vital Signs Report. Our 2015 report can be found at: https://www.communityfoundations.ca/vitalsigns/reports/ . Since 2015, we have grown to become the Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington. Working with community leaders, we are coming to understand our region, and our communities, better than ever. In this Vital Signs project, we examine quality of life factors through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, (SDGs).

  • Read Our Quinte Region Drought Management Plan
    1 | P a g e Summary Planning for drought in Ontario has become of increasing concern due to the recurrence of droughts, increased development pressure, and anticipated impacts from climate change. Previous work by Quinte Conservation has identified the region to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some of this vulnerability can be attributed to the high percentage of Quinte Region residents (50 percent of the population) that rely on private wells for water supply. These wells are supplied by a shallow fractured bedrock aquifer with low storage capacity requiring regular replenishment from precipitation to maintain adequate levels of supply. In 2016, a widespread historic drought was experienced in the Quinte Conservation watershed and across Eastern Ontario. During this event, groundwater levels and wells experienced historically low levels with many residents’ wells running dry. Farmers struggled to find alternative supplies to sustain crops and livestock, rural fire protection sources dried up, and low river levels resulted in damaged fish habitat. Municipalities that rely 100 percent on private wells had difficulty obtaining alternative sources of water for their residents. Learning from the 2016 experience, Quinte Conservation recognized the need to develop a drought management plan that would help local municipalities mitigate and adapt to drought. With the support of municipalities within its watershed, Quinte Conservation obtained funding through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This funding has been used to improve monitoring to deal with drought, assess the potential impacts of climate change, and prepare the following as a drought management plan. This plan provides an overview of the background information about the Quinte watershed and past impacts from drought.
