Nalcor Energy Business and Financial Report 2016 5 Final walkthrough of the Spillway at Muskrat Falls 6 Nalcor Energy Business and Financial Report 2016 Message from the Chair As Chair of the Board of Directors for Nalcor Energy, I am pleased to present the company’s annual report. Although 2016 proved to be an extremely turbulent year for Nalcor, its financial performance improved, marked by enhanced earnings and continued growth in assets. Despite many well- documented challenges with several Lower Churchill development related projects, I believe the company has embarked on a restructuring process that best positions it to realize value from our province’s available energy resources in both the near and long term. I would like to thank the outgoing directors who ended their tenures on the board last year following many years of service to Nalcor and our province. I also want to acknowledge and thank the newly appointed members of the board, all of whom are highly capable and hard- working individuals. Collectively, we bring a diversity of skills, experiences, and expertise to the board from a broad range of industries. Yet we all share a common commitment to pursuing what is best for the future of Newfoundland and Labrador. Looking ahead, your board will ensure that sound governance guides all of our decisions in overseeing Nalcor and its many subsidiary companies. This includes (i) setting a clear vision (including establishing objectives, goals, strategies and plans), (ii) enforcing strong financial controls and cost discipline, (iii) ensuring forward-looking human resource assessment and capacity building, (iv) managing enterprise risk, and (v) acting as brand ambassadors that shape a progressive and high performing corporate culture. In exercising our fiduciary duties, we will also support the CEO and the executive leadership team in fulfilling their andam tes and in setting and executing against a renewed corporate strategy. Nalcor’s wide range of energy business operations are extremely complex, and by their very nature, challenging to effectively manage. As board members and representatives of your energy company, it is our job to provide strategic direction, to ensure these activities are on strategy, to appropriately balance investments against risk, and to ensure the long-term interests of our province’s residents and ratepayers remain at the forefront. We understand that the bar for accountability, transparency and integrity in everything that is Nalcor is set very high, as it should be. We will continuously strive to ensure those standards are met. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Chief Executive Officer, Stan Marshall, and the Executive team for their ongoing leadership at an important, challenging and very complex time for Nalcor. As the company moves ahead, its greatest strength will continue to lie within its people. Together, they will remain steadfast in their relentless pursuit of safety, excellence in operations and planning, reliability of service for customers, and shared values of which all of our employees, and every Newfoundlander and Labradorian, can be proud. Thanks for placing your trust and faith in us. We collectively look forward to sharing more about Nalcor’s progress in what we believe will be a very successful and productive 2017. Brendan Paddick Chair, Board of Directors Nalcor Energy Business and Financial Report 2016 7 Message from the CEO In April 2016, I became CEO of Nalcor Energy, at a time when the company was challenged on many fronts. I was very fortunate to receive immediate support from Nalcor’s highly-qualified and dedicated employees. With their assistance I was able to quickly assess the company’s structure, operations and strategy, and propose significant changes. The proposed changes have been implemented with the full support of our Board of Directors and our owner, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. In June, we announced a new senior management structure. The Muskrat Falls Project was separated into Generation and Transmission with one Executive Vice President, Gilbert Bennett, responsible solely for development of the generation facilities (Power Development) and a separate Executive Vice President, John MacIsaac, responsible for the transmission facilities (Power Supply).

    REVISED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT 4.2.2 Wildlife 4.2.2.1 Caribou Labrador’s caribou (Rangifer tarandus) can be classified into two main groups, the migratory and sedentary (also known as woodland) ecotypes, which are distinguished by their use of calving grounds or fidelity to specific calving sites. Migratory caribou travel large distances, occupy large home ranges, and aggregate during calving periods. Conversely, sedentary caribou display limited movements, occupy smaller home ranges, and tend to disperse during the calving period (Schaefer et al. 2000; Bergerud et al. 2008). The Project occupies a portion of Western Labrador which overlaps with the range of the George River (GR) Herd. Straddling the Québec-Labrador peninsula, the GR Herd is one of the world’s largest Rangifer populations, with population estimates peaking at almost 800,000 individuals in the 1980’s (Couturier et al. 1996; Russell et al. 1996, Rivest et al. 1998). This area of western Labrador overlaps the GR Herd as a portion of their winter range (Jacobs 1996). In addition to the GR Herd, there is another migratory ecotype that is recognized on the Ungava Peninsula and known as the Rivière-aux-Feuilles (‘Leaf River’) (RAF) Herd. Existing and recognized sedentary populations include the Lac Joseph (LJ) Herd located south of the Assessment Area, and the Red Wine Mountains (RWM), the Joir River (JR), and the Mealy Mountains (MM) Herds all much further to the east. The Mealy Mountains act as a geographic barrier separating this herd from the other herds of Labrador, but the lack of a geographic barrier between the other three sedentary herds results in an overlap of herd ranges (Schmelzer et al.
