ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED CUTBANK RIVER LATERAL LOOP (BALD MOUNTAIN SECTION) PIPELINE PROJECT August 2010 6922 Prepared for: Prepared by: NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of TERA Environmental Consultants TransCanada PipeLines Limited Suite 1100, 815 - 8th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 3P2 Calgary, Alberta Ph: 403-265-2885 NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Cutbank River Lateral Loop (Bald Mountain Section) August 2010 / 6922 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TransCanada) is applying to the National Energy Board (NEB) under Section 58 of the NEB Act for authorization to construct and operate the proposed Cutbank River Lateral Loop (Bald Mountain Section) (the Project). The proposed 38 km long, 610 mm O.D. (NPS 24) Project will generally be constructed parallel to the existing Cutbank Lateral on the Alberta System located south of Grande Prairie, Alberta. The Project parallels the existing Cutbank Lateral Pipeline right-of-way and Bald Mountain Road for approximately 88% of its length (33 km). The Project will require a 25 m wide construction right-of-way consisting of 12 m of existing right-of-way and 13 m of new permanent right-of-way when paralleling existing right-of-way or 25 m of new permanent right-of-way at other locations, as well as temporary workspace to be taken within adjacent pipeline rights-of-way where feasible. Design, construction and operation of the pipeline will be in compliance with all applicable codes, standards and regulations. Pending regulatory approval, construction is scheduled to commence in December 2010. NGTL commissioned TERA Environmental Consultants (TERA) to prepare an Environmental and Socio- economic Assessment (ESA) having regard to the NEB Filing Manual, the Online Application System guidance and Section 16(1) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEA Act) for approval to construct and operate the proposed Project. This ESA will be included within the Cutbank River Lateral Loop (Bald Mountain Section) Section 58 Application (Application). The following studies were conducted in summer 2010 to support this ESA (Appendices 1 through 7): an Early Summer Rare Plant Survey (TERA); an Aquatic Assessment (TERA); a Wetland Assessment (TERA); a Wildlife Habitat Assessment (TERA); and a Historical Resources Impact Assessment (HRIA) (TERA). The proposed Project is located in a forested setting within the Regional Municipality of Greenview (MD 16). Lands traversed are 100% (38 km) Crown-owned and the proposed route lies entirely within the Green Area of Alberta. Lands traversed on the Cutbank River Lateral Loop (Bald Mountain Section) are 100% wooded (38 km). The nearest community to the proposed pipeline route is the Hamlet of Grovedale (approximately 14 km northeast). The nearest major centre to the proposed pipeline route is the City of Grande Prairie, located approximately 30 km northeast of the Project area. No residences lie within 1 km of the proposed right-of- way. The proposed pipeline route crosses Bald Mountain Creek, which is a Class C watercourse, 12 unnamed tributaries to Bald Mountain Creek, five unnamed tributaries to the Cutbank River and three wetlands. Potential environmental concerns identified by this ESA include: issues relating to strippings conservation; soil erosion control; potential effects on downstream water quality; potential introduction and spread of weeds; potential increase in the spread of bark beetles; incremental loss of remnant native vegetation; and potential effects on wildlife. Watercourse and wetland crossings have been located and construction of the crossings has been planned in a manner which will minimize bank and slope instability, as well as the potential for future erosion. Specific environmental measures have been identified for watercourse and wetland crossing construction, and strippings handling. These measures, along with other protection measures designed to mitigate the potential environmental effects, are identified in the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) within Appendix 6 of this ESA and on the Environmental Alignment Sheet within Appendix 7 of this ESA. The environmental effects associated with the proposed pipeline route are those that are routinely encountered during pipeline construction in a forested setting. The application of mitigative measures through a comprehensive environmental compliance strategy (environmental protection planning, environmental inspection and post-construction monitoring) will avoid, eliminate and/or minimize potential Project-related adverse effects. Any potential adverse residual effects and cumulative effects that may result from the proposed Project are anticipated to be not significant. Page i NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd.

Bull Trout Conservation Management Plan 2012 - 17. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Species at Risk Conservation Management Plan No. 8. Edmonton, AB, 90 pp. ii PREFACE Albertans are fortunate to share their province with a diversity of wild species. A small number of these species are classified as Species of Special Concern because they have characteristics that make them particularly sensitive to human activities or natural events. Special conservation measures are necessary to ensure that these species do not become Endangered or Threatened. Conservation management plans are developed for Species of Special Concern to provide guidance for land and resource management decisions that affect the species and their habitat. These plans are intended to be a resource tool for Sustainable Resource Development - Fish and Wildlife Division (SRD-FWD) and for provincial and regional land and resource management staff. Conservation management plans provide background information including species biology, threats to species and habitat, and inventory/monitoring history.

Note: Permission is hereby granted by CSILW to all Gros Ventre individuals and institutions to make copies of this work as needed for educational purposes and personal use, as well as to institutions supporting the Gros Ventre language, for the same purposes. All other copying is restricted by copyright laws. 2 Introduction: This is a list of Gros Ventre/White Clay/A’ani place names. Specifically, it includes all names in the Gros Ventre language that we have been able to find. The places are listed in alphabetical order by their English name, and then the Gros Ventre name(s) are given, in italics. After the italic entries, the Gros Ventre names are separated into segments to show the meanings of the different parts of the word. The linguistic abbreviations used are explained at the end of this publication. There are also references to the sources where the original name was documented in many cases. The list of these sources is also at the end of the paper. The majority of these names were documented by Allan Taylor, professor of Linguistics, University of Colorado, during his work with the Gros Ventre Tribe from the 1960s through the 1990s (abbreviation of the form T II.164 refer to Taylor’s Dictionary, Volume II, page 164). Terry Brockie and Andrew Cowell (also a professor at the University of Colorado) worked to find other names no longer known by the Gros Ventre people, but which were recorded by people such as Fred Gone (who gathered the story of the “Seven Visions of Bull Lodge”) and George Bird Grinnell, an early naturalist who lived in the late 1800s and early 1900s and worked with several Plains Indian tribes.

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared By

    Environmentally Significant Areas of Alberta Volume 2 Prepared by: Sweetgrass Consultants Ltd. Calgary, AB for: Resource Data Division Alberta Environmental Protection Edmonton, Alberta March 1997 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Large portions of native habitats have been converted to other uses. Surface mining, oil and gas exploration, forestry, agricultural, industrial and urban developments will continue to put pressure on the native species and habitats. Clearing and fragmentation of natural habitats has been cited as a major area of concern with respect to management of natural systems. While there has been much attention to managing and protecting endangered species, a consensus is emerging that only a more broad-based ecosystem and landscape approach to preserving biological diversity will prevent species from becoming endangered in the first place. Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) are important, useful and often sensitive features of the landscape. As an integral component of sustainable development strategies, they provide long-term benefits to our society by maintaining ecological processes and by providing useful products. The identification and management of ESAs is a valuable addition to the traditional socio-economic factors which have largely determined land use planning in the past. The first ESA study done in Alberta was in 1983 for the Calgary Regional Planning Commission region. Numerous ESA studies were subsequently conducted through the late 1980s and early 1990s. ESA studies of the Parkland, Grassland, Canadian Shield, Foothills and Boreal Forest Natural Regions are now all completed while the Rocky Mountain Natural Region has been only partially completed. Four factors regarding the physical state of the site were considered when assessing the overall level of significance of each ESA: representativeness, diversity, naturalness, and ecological integrity.
