This information will be contained within the See ID#113 for EIA Registration Document itself (hoping to follow up details. get out by July 25th) pending release next week, but its best at this stage to refer to the EIA document to ensure you review the latest and greatest information. That being 24

-what is the approximate end of serve date? 50 years? Complete Approximately 40 years.

-what is the width of the RoW? Complete There are varying RoW’s for this line, some of which are still in the process of being finalized. Best to show via image with description, and I wont have that detail until the Registration Document is finalized (that section is currently being drafted) Typically it is 30m RoW for a 138kV line. This line is 69kV stepping down to 34.5kV, and the RoW varies between 5 and 30m depending on location.

-do they have a list of traditional use vegetation and wildlife observed along the Complete RoW?

This seems to be with respect to field data logs and our access to them. We have not entered into these discussions with Stantec to obtain background data as the focus at the moment is to get these documents formally registered. This will be something discussed moving forward as committed to in an action with the monthly meeting with the Maliseet from last week

-does the line cross any watercourses? If so are any of them fish bearing? If so what fish Complete do they contain? Any salmon bearing streams?

Final mapping of the routing and locations is anticipated with the final version for Registration. There are no poles within a watercourse containing fish. Spanning over watercourses is the preference of the design aspects which prevents any impacts therefore nullifying the requirement to delineate between fish bearing and non-fish bearing. For the purpose of the assessments, the initial assumption is that all streams encountered are fish bearing (airs on the side of caution).

See Coordinator ID#121 & 116 above for details. Thanks for clarifying questions 1-3. for MNNB 4. I think there is some confusion as to what we wanted Angie to do. MNNB simply wanted Angie (and now WFN co-researcher) to do a walkover of the RoW for butternut trees for the Houlton Waters project. Angie has a full time position as the forestry coordinator so she will not be able to do general field work with Green Eagle. However, we did request that a FN monitor be present during field work, which NBP seems to be acting on by contracting to Green Eagle. The only issue would be the reporting mechanism back to the communities on their observations etc., similar to what Austin does has not been sorted out.

I can discuss this more with Green Eagle if required. I was just waiting on their call.

 Anthony to inquire about receiving field data from surveys, e.g., Stantec’s rare plant survey data. o Mat explained that the field data coordinates are sensitive intellectual property with contractors. A discussion followed where there was mutual agreement that the WNNB would identify areas of interest for field studies (beyond “rare species”) and that Austin would then pay specific attention to these while attending field studies and also educated contractors of this interest. Also, it was discussed how WNNB may provide input to the studies prior to them being initiated on a go forward basis and agreed that NB Power would work toward adopting this practice in addition to pursuing opportunities for additional First Nations Field monitors, especially during construction. Action: Colin to discuss identification of species of interest with Angie Paul (WNNB, Forestry) o Austin requested WNNB to possibly provide him with a list of Traditional Recourses he should be aware of to keep an 31

Also log what and where those resources are located in PDA’s and WNNB would have that information to possibly harvest and collect those resources as they see fit. Action: Austin to discuss list with WNNB o Jamie asked who shares Austin’s reports. Stantec or others? NBP stated officially just WNNB. Austin then suggested they can be shared to the Maliseet community’s members.

 Zeke to follow up with Chief Sabattis regarding an Open house session for the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians. o As Zeke was not present, there was some confusion with the specific action – whether the action was for Zeke to inquire about an Open House OR to inquire about how best to gain Houlton participation in the TK/TLRU. NB Power reported that they believed Houlton Water was conducting an Open House at the Houlton Band community. When Fred joined the call later, he agreed to have Zeke follow up with Tessa on this as well as other outstanding items (i.e. a date for an Open House in Oromocto). Action: Fred/Zeke

 Keyaira, Timothy, Fred and Zeke to discuss having a combined Open house event for the Kingsclear, St. Mary’s and Oromocto FN communities. o Keyaira and Tim reported that each community would like their own open house to avoid transportation barriers. This was later confirmed with Fred when he joined the call for Oromocto. o Andrea asked that each RDCC provide a couple of dates so NB 32

Action: Keyaira, Tim, Fred & Zeke are to propose a few dates each to Tessa with a goal to having all Open Houses complete by end of September.

 Mat to provide the RDCC’S with timeline schedules for the projects. o Mat and Anthony have prepared a presentation of all NB Power projects known to date. It is noted that because of its size, Mactaquac will not be included in this and will stand on its own. The presentation will be distributed once translation is complete TO RDCC’s and will also be handed out to community members during the Open House sessions.

 RDCC’S to provide Mat with possible available dates for the next Fish Passage Workshop. o Anthony & Mat explained that fish passage workshop has not been scheduled due to summer vacations of required participants (DFO, CRI). o Andrea invited Colin to provide a summary of the discussion held earlier between NB Power and WNNB where Colin explained that there was now clarity that the exercise underway is to identify criteria that will identify species to be passed. As such, he will work with Keyaira to best engage with community members for input in the process. At the end of the exercise, the goal is to have all (First Nations, regulators, scientists, NB Power, other interest groups) be comfortable with the species identified. o Keyaira mentioned her leadership has advised her they want updates and details on everything concerning the Mactaquac project. Anthony 33

ID # Date Project of Activity Proponen First Nation Purpose Summary of Discussions Interests/Concerns / Issues Raised Response/Actions Status (YY/MM/DD) Interest (e.g. t Contact Contact letter, email, call, meeting) advised Keyaira that there have been no new developments with the project and therefor no updates to deliver. o Colin advised that Keyaira is currently conducting surveys with KFN to initiate which species of fish hold special interest to community members. NBP indicated this to be a good starting point to identify the species of FN concern. o Mat indicated that a list of special concern needs to be produced, also why those species are of interest, this will help understand and factor into the selecting process.

 Colin asked that the biweekly calls with Subject Matter Experts from WNNB (Shyla, Colin, and Deana) and NB Power (Andrea, Anthony, Mat, Tessa) be rescheduled from Wednesday mornings as these calls run tight into this Monthly Meeting. Andrea agreed to cancel that series and issue another for Thursdays. Tessa was also asked to cancel the current meeting series and issue a new one as many participants have changed. The location should remain NB Power and have the teleconference number.  Notice issued from NB Power to WNNB regarding Courtenay Bay to LNG Transmission Line and Neguac Transmission Line. The group acknowledged that there in interest in the Courtenay Bay to LNG line thought the Neguac Line is in Mi’gmaq territory.  Deana reported that work was underway to support TLRU’s for Houlton Water, Grand Falls and Fundy Isles, with Kedgwick complete as of submission to NBP on July 31, 2017. Due dates for the other three (3) remaining projects are: o Houlton – August 2017 o Fundy Isles – September 2017 o Grand Falls – January/February 2018 (date adjusted as project has been delayed)  Anthony mentioned that recommendations from the Kedgwick TLRU regarding field monitors, and 34

ID # Date Project of Activity Proponen First Nation Purpose Summary of Discussions Interests/Concerns / Issues Raised Response/Actions Status (YY/MM/DD) Interest (e.g. t Contact Contact letter, email, call, meeting) inquired where we are going to find monitors as we most likely are going to need them on short notice. o Jamie indicated that WNNB is currently looking into possible Maliseet monitors available, further stating that the seasonal nature of the work means that it is hard to retain employees for short duration projects. o Tessa suggested possible monitors may be available from her graduating class of field monitors from NBCC. o Deana indicated that employment training officers have databases that may be useful. o Kathleen: stated that environmental monitors at PLNGS staff collect data every month and there may be opportunities to job shadow the full time employees who also process the material in Fredericton.  Jamie asked if Grand Falls was back on as a proposed project.  Anthony explained that it is undecided at present pending the results of the Emera bid for clean energy into Massachusettes, climate change considerations and regulations etc. The one thing that is certain is the growing and constant interest for non-emitting, renewable energy and that this site is prime to provide that. As such, NB Power supports the completion of the TLRU for this proposed project as it can be ready if/when the project is considered again.  Keyaira provided a good update on the Indigenous Summer Games underway at Kingsclear FN and the positive results from NAIG.  Jamie, Tim, Russ had nothing significant to report.  Fred reported Chief Shelly Sabattis has been re-elected to a 4-year term. 127 2017/08/10 General Email T.

• There were no updates for PLGS-there was an update in the bi-weekly call that Kathleen had shared. • Andrea stated there was a Youtube video concerning Nuclear that she would like to share and would ask Tessa to send after the meeting. Nothing to do with PLGS just good information on Nuclear power.

Fundy Isles • EIA was registered January 26th. TRC review comments are expected in the next couple of weeks. • Mat provided a high level update on the issues encountered due to the strike on the existing cable and how the proposed project will be the permanent solution going forward. A summary will be provided to WNNB and Consultation Coordinators.

The Science branch within DFO is reviewing the file and is expected to provide guidance on the scope of the potential offsetting in the near future. In the meantime, NB Power has been advised to submit a draft application without the offsets included (so a partial application) for review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). NB Power is planning on submitting an initial application with DFO in March, 2018 recognizing it will be incomplete as the offsets are still unknown and discussions with WNNB are still to be had. In the meantime, if there are any suggestions for what offsetting would be from WNNB, NB Power is interested in hearing them. NB Power will continue to engage with the First Nations communities on this project, sharing information as it becomes available. Colin had asked if offsetting would be retroactive. Anthony is not sure. Andrea M. indicated that the CNSC would be initiating a First Nations engagement program in the spring of 2018 as part of their overall mandate as the Crown to be establishing relationships with First Nations communities across the country. These sessions could include discussions about the Point Lepreau Fisheries Act Authorization, but they would also have a larger purpose of overall relationship building. NB Power’s understanding is that CNSC will continue to engage with the First Nations communities on this project specifically.

Nitrogen gas pressure was Consultation increased to ensure a positive flow of gas within the line to coordinators prevent infiltration of water, which would render the cable useless. Assumption was that there was a line strike by scallop dredge as it was the third day of scallop season in the region. Investigations began to detect the locations of the leak, but it wasn’t until January 22nd (due to poor weather conditions and the difficulty locating gas bubbles in the tidal region of the Bay of Fundy) that the location of the leak was discovered. Ongoing discussion were being held concurrently with other industrial energy providers that have similar submarine cables in operation and it was concluded that by keeping a steady supply of nitrogen flowing through the cable, it could be placed back in operation and avoid the need to run the generator (costs upwards of $90,000/day). Load was transferred back to the cable on January 31st. Nitrogen is being supplied at a steady rate to the cable, and subsequently being released to the ocean (no concern as this is an inert gas and there is no risk to human or marine wildlife).

Construction of a new 5 KM transmission line will be built within a 2 month window, new substation within 6 month window , decommission of old substation will be in 2018.  The Maliseet Nations and AAS agreed that a TLU/IK Study will not be required for the Kedgwick project.  Derrick mentioned that discussions with an elder from Eel River Bar states that Kedgwick is in Mi’gmaq Territory, but has recently read in a NB Power report, that we have stated it was in Maliseet Territory. Austin mentioning that the river drains north and this would most likely be in Mi’gmaqTerritory.  Anthony questioned if NB Power could possibly formalize a process for delivering environmental studies (Stantec reports), having usually getting tied into the EIA reports.  Cecelia reaffirmed that IK Studies should be complete prior to EIA submission, to guide and support the environmental work.  Andrea questioned the probability of including elders during project field work activities, if the opportunity for an IK Study to be included in the EIA had been missed. Cecelia informed that a few elders are not enough, stating that the study should be done beforehand; also, that the elders are mainly used to gather ground truthing information through the IK process.  Most studies for the Houlton Waters Project have been

Fundy Isles Project Update

 Derek asked where we left off with the archaeological assessment.  Austin replied that the walk over assessment of the PDA has been completed; some exploratory test pitting will be carried out, although no ground disturbances have been carried out thus far.  Discussed the possibility of hiring a Mi’gmaq archaeological monitor to assist in the study, either Austin or Tessa would act as the field monitor for the Maliseet.  Derek indicated that they employ a monitor that has specific experience in archaeological work associated with undersea cable installations and will provide NBP with their name and contact information.  Tessa indicated that the cable installation will currently be delayed until 2019. Chantal further explained this is due to variables that were assessed before the tender process. We are hoping to carry out open house events in July 2017.  Derek indicated that it might make sense to bundle the open house sessions for the Mi’gmaq. Derek will talk to the chiefs to provide NBP with some direction. July and August may not be an appropriate time.

Kedgwick Project Update

 Steve was happy that this project is reducing the amount of transmission line therefore reducing our environmental footprint.  EIA was submitted February 20th, 2017. Determination expected in May 2017.  Chantal indicated that the EIA Registration document is too large to send electronically, and is looking into alternative options for sharing this information with MTI.  Construction activities will be conducted during times that will allow the avoidance of migratory nesting birds.  Steve inquired as to what happens to the old creosote poles that are being decommissioned.  Chantal stated that the land is usually restored back to its original condition and poles removed, however, this is not always the case.  Steve voiced concern over the possible leachate from the old poles and the environmental damage that they can cause.  Steve agreed that this should be done to avoid the risk arsenic leaching into the ground.  Chantal indicated that some utilities excavated the soil surrounding old transmission line poles and dispose of the soil off-site.

Houlton Waters Project Update

 Expecting to submit EIA registration in July 2017.

Proposed Projects Anthony provided information on a few proposed projects on existing lines:

Neguac NB Power is proposing a two-phased Project to modernize the electrical transmission infrastructure near Neguac. The two phases would consist of the following:

 Phase 1 would see the construction of a new 138 kV substation near the village of Neguac and a new 23 km-long 138 kV transmission line (Line 1220) to connect to the existing 138 kV transmission line (Line 1106) located west of Neguac.  Phase 2 following energization of the new substation and new transmission line, the existing 69 kV Neguac substation and existing 69 kV transmission lines (Lines 0104 and 0012) would be decommissioned.  NB Power has engaged Stantec Consulting to assist us with performing the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) at the Provincial level. Stantec is currently in the field conducting various surveys to assist with the EIA drafting and subsequent filing. One of our First Nations Liaisons, Austin Paul, has been accompanying Stantec during this early phase of the work.  Contact has been made to AAS for engagement with the Mi’gmaq.  Property on RoW might be owned by Esgenoopetitj First Nation.  Still in process of letter notification. o Property owners have been notified.  Anthony will provide high level information on Neguac project including maps to MTI this week. Also noting that more information will flow as it is known.

Canaport LNG Terminal Canaport project is to install a new 69 kV wood pole transmission line (Line 0084) from Courtney Bay Terminal to Canaport LNG Facility and to rebuild the existing 69 kV line (Line 0042) that also feeds the facility.  The new 69 kV transmission line (Line 0084) will be built parallel to the existing line and may share some of the infrastructure due to the congested corridor along Bayside Drive.

Decommissioned lines  No new update from last meeting. Currently waiting on Asset recovery and PMO groups for removal of the decommissioned lines.

Neguac  Anthony did confirm that the proposed project will be going through property owned by Esgenoopetitj, not reserve land but privately owned property the FN purchased in 1984. NB Power currently has an easement for the transmission line that was already on the property when land was purchased. Anthony explained that an additional number of meters needs to be added to the easement for construction of a new line and then the old easement portion would be returned. (In essence, NB Power is requesting the movement of the easement). The discussion that needs to occur in this vein is as a property owner. o Andrea suggested she contact Chief Alvery and propose a meeting to initiate these discussions requesting access to property, as NBP would do for any private property owner. . Samantha and Derek agreed for Andrea to take the lead in this process.

Paul Samantha An email was sent to provide MTI, his latest field report Not applicable On September 23, 2017, S. Robichaud responded to inquire Closed Houlton Robichaud, MTI covering period covering from August 2 -31, 2017. as to what exactly he is looking for when conducting an Kedgwick archeology study walkover and what indicates archeology The field report covered the following projects: potential?

 Mactaquac On September 25, 2017, A. Paul responded giving his detailed  Houlton explanation as follows:  Kedgwick Arch potential is outlined by a predictive model used by arch services. As most sites that have been found thus far have been located within 80 meters of a Watercourse as our people were intimately connected to the water. As my report indicates, there are 2 buffers associated with the potential model, high potential extends from 0-50 meters from the water body and needs to be tested at 5 meter intervals. From 50-80 meters from water body is considered medium potential and must tested at 10 meter spacing. Archaeologists also have to use their professional judgment to identify areas that may fall outside of this paradigm of thought.

While I am conducting surveys, we follow the rules set out by arch services (as noted above) but we consider many things. Arch potential will be increased if needed resources are in the area. The presence of cool springs, fishing pools, reliable toolstone outcrops or cobble deposits, black ash, clamus root, fields suitable for planting corn, river confluences, areas that offer strategic advantages (good view both up and down the river or overlooking a valley) and areas that would require care to pass (like rapids on a river or strong tides in the ocean): when one is travelling long distances, it is best to rest at a dangerous area and approach the trouble area with a renewed vigor the next day. These lay-over spots are always arch sites as daily activities would have to be carried out: food prep, boat repair and at a bare minimum a fire.

There is of course many thing to consider, this is just a short list. Now that we are finding sites from the very distant past (paleo) we also have to identify landforms that would have been suitable living areas 12 000 +- years ago. At this time water levels were dramatically different. So there is a lot that goes into the assessments and a good archaeologist is constantly considering all of the above. I hope this helps.

Francis MTI Derek Simon, Clare thanked everyone for allowing them to present. She External: MTI went over pages 3-9 on the presentation (attached) and gave Marry Ann a background of who they are and their mandate. CNSC Mann, AAS have staff at each nuclear power plant. Kim Noble, CNSC Andrea Allen posed a question about how to apply to become Clare a member on the commission as they discussed how they Cattrysse, have a few vacancies. Clare stated any Canadian can apply. CNSC There are screenings and detailed interviews. Even if you are Caroline on the commission and want to re-apply you have to go Ducros, through the full process. A term is usually 3-5 years. CNSC Hatem Hatem went over pages 10-16. Kristy stated MTI would like a Khouaja, Record of Decision from the Point Lepreau License. Hatem CNSC provided her a hard copy and also stated he would email one Anupama to her and Samantha. There is also a report card that is Persaud, issued in August for the previous year and it includes the first CNSC 3 months of the current year. There can be events added if there is a “significant” one to report on.

Kim went over pages 18-21. The Participant funding program began in 2011. The budget is $900,000 and has currently almost been fully used for 2017. There is an independent funding committee that makes the decision on the amount to be given once applied for.

Carolyn went over page 23-Amendments to the Fisheries Act. The act is under review. The bigger focus is on sustaining the waters that have commercial, traditional and recreational uses. The old act had “fish bearing waters” and the new act merged sections 32 & 35 and this one states “serious harm” to fish (death of fish, feeder fish etc.). Carolyn is also to send the policy link to Samantha. CNSC would like to meet with MTI concerning things they would like to see in the act re: offsetting, species to be identified, and application. Andrea Allen posed the question would it be up to the community to request NB Power be there. The First Nations have the final say on if they would like us there. Mat inquired if CNSC would have duplicate samples taken from ours when they did their sampling. They do not split samples. They take independent samples. They try to get close to where ours are taken however sometimes they can’t get to the same spot. There is a site map on the CNSC website where you can find details on their sampling. MTI can discuss with the CNSC if they would like to have items added to the list of samples that they may not be currently testing. There is also funding associated with that as the CNSC cannot properly identify offsetting without this information. Anthony asked if this funding could be used to create a consultative position in MTI or does it have to be a consultant. She stated they could try

Substation clearing has already taken place, however, line construction activities are contingent upon approval of the PSEPP. Arrangements are in process for the transfer of the 10 trees to the Maliseet Nation. Baqahson Sappier has been brought on the NBP team and will be the FN field monitor assigned to the Project working closely with the Construction Manager. Her field reports will be utilizing the template that Austin currently uses in his routine updates.

Houlton The EIA process is still underway with NBDELG. Technical Review Committee (TRC) responses to Round #1 of questions will be submitted to the NBDELG Project Manager next week. A letter was also received from Meduxnekeag River Associated and Nature Trust of New Brunswick that also requires action and response. The Federal NEB Permit application is being prepared with a target of filing this winter following EIA Determination.

Mactaquac Mid 2019 is the proposed date for EIA registration. NBP would like to continue discussions with MTI on furthering discussions with respect to Fish Passage and recommends tabling this at upcoming meetings to develop a plan going forward.

Point Lepreau Kathleen provided an update on Point Lepreau:  Public Disclosure Protocol –CNSC has invited the public to make comments. It closes September 28th.

Milltown Andrea M talked about proposed upgrades to the facility at Milltown. New DIVE turbines are intended to replace turbines 5, 6 and 7. This newer technology will improve efficiency and help lower the mortality rate of the fish. In addition, a Hydroconnect bi-directional turbine (i.e., fish ladder) is proposed to be installed. The fish ladder will improve movement of fish both up and down stream of the dam.

Separately, at Milltown, GIS Gas Infusions Inc., is conducting research to test the effectiveness of increasing the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water as an attractant for fish (to guide them towards the fish ladder). The plan for testing is the week of October 23st. Samantha would like to know more about this. Andrea will work with Anthony to send to Tessa and she can send to Samantha. Samantha also asked if we plan on replacing all turbines with this new technology. Anthony is not sure as we will have to see how the testing goes.

Samantha gave an update on her Vegetation, Wetland and Aquatic surveys that she participated in for Neguac. She wondered if there were any further ones planned. Mat stated there is an arch walkover that is left. We are in on-going discussions with a land owner as we do not have an easement and it is currently with legal. Once we receive

Organigram EIA was started this week and submission in November 2017. The proposed line will be 138Kv and the trigger for completing an EIA is 69kV or greater, this is why an EIA is being completed. It is a 630 meter line that will be placed (where possible) within the municipal easement along Arsenault Court to connect the customer-owned substation to the main Line 1124 that parallels Wheeler Blvd in Moncton. NB Power is working with the municipality. Letters have been prepared using the language Derek provided and they are to go out this week. We don’t anticipate any impacts and we will update along the way. Map will be attached to the email as well when letters are sent.

Fundy Isles The Interim IK was received and is being read. Start of a line from Deer Island to Campobello and from Campobello to Chocolate Cove. There is a small piece of property on Deer Island that is owned by the Federal Government. NB Power identified a need for the property to drill horizontally under the land which would go a certain distance off shore. Easement is need from the Federal Government. NB Power has been advised by them that the Maliseet or Mi’gmaq are both interested in acquiring this piece of land and the Federal Government will not issue an easement until both agree that there would be no issue to give an easement to NPB for that property. NB Power only needs an easement to run the line. Anthony will provide Derek the details of what is required with the easement and drilling etc. for Chocolate Cove. He will then forward to Tracey Cloud. 117 2017/10/05 Kedgwick Email A.

Please note, it has been confirmed that the spill mentioned did not contain PCB.

Wela’lin for bringing this to our attention so that we may improve our communications.

When a spill occurs within the Transmission and Distribution division, it is reported to the appropriate regulator immediately. During normal business hours, the release is reported to the Department of Environment and Local Government or to the Coast Guard after hours.

If the PCB concentration in the mineral oil is unknown, NB Power field personnel will collect a sample and send it to Fredericton for analysis. It may take a day or two before the result is known. In the meantime, the site is secured to ensure public safety and the spill is cleaned-up. Additional measures may be taken based on the laboratory result.

In the case of the vehicle accident which occurred on the Burnt Church reserve, the spill was reported to the Coast Guard and cleaned-up. The mineral oil was confirmed to be non-PCB.

I understand that the leadership of the Burnt Church First Nation was notified of this spill through INAC. In the future, we will endeavor to notify First Nation communities when a spills is reported on reserve lands.

Debrief on Open Houses.

Samantha has received feedback from the some of the liaisons and still waiting to hear from a few others. She is not sure if she will send all at once or wait until the other two provide theirs. Mat stated it is up to her and they can make changes to the open houses easily if they are given a few days. Samantha will review and put everything together and send to Tessa before the next open house in December. NB Power stated that just because there is an EIA doesn’t mean that consultation is done. Eel River and a few others have asked about jobs. Andrea stated jobs are in 3 forms: short- term, a career at NB Power or contract/term. We need to have an inventory of what skills are available in the communities. Communities need to get resumes sent into us and we send to HR. We have hired an HR Intern, Kelsey Bernard, who will be reaching out to communities.

Cultural Awareness –Blanket Exercise Samantha asked who hosts our Cultural Awareness at NB Power. We advised her usually Austin, Ed or Jesse and sometimes Andrea. Andrea stated it is more of an orientation. MTI has offered to arrange a blanket exercise for field personnel. Andrea said we are open to having one however she feels that the field personnel need to have ours first and then a blanket exercise. It was agreed that we will make the blanket exercise the day before or after our monthly meeting and have it in Fredericton so more people in our area could attend. Derek suggested that maybe a starting point would be our group and they could have the community liaisons there as well and he wouldn’t mind delivering it more than once to more groups of people. Samantha is to follow up with Cecilia and Stuart for a date.

Tree Trimming Qualifications Tessa was to have provided an update to Samantha however it was not sent out so Andrea stated it was Transmission RoW clearing. There is a daylong training course that trains them on safety and cutting. It is not NB Power that provides the training it is Safety Services of NB. The cutting is only for RoW clearing and not for distribution and customer service (bucket truck near lines etc.) as we contract that out and that is a longer training course. Tessa will provide the document to Samantha. Andrea also mentioned that we may want to invite Rick Doucett from Vegetation to one of the monthly meetings to discuss all aspects of that work.

Notifying MTI of work in Communities This is to be left with Andrea to discuss with Calvin Pelkey.

LORESS This issue came up at the Open Houses. Andrea stated nothing has been finalized or sent. There are three parts: 1) Aboriginal set aside, 2) Community Energy –open to all

Andrea advised she is not at liberty to share which communities were successful and she does not know where the projects are to be. Derek stated the perception is the province favors Maliseet’s and now if NB Power did the same thing it does not sit well with MTI. He advised it is not being well received. Andrea advised Derek she understood his concerns. She also noted all projects are evaluated using the same criteria which are technical liability, community benefits and avoided costs. If and when the agreement is reached and signed we will advise MTI. We cannot disclose any information until the agreement is reached and Andrea again re-iterated she does not know the specifics of the projects.

Kedgwick Line and substation lot have been cleared. We will be moving forward with construction. An internal audit was done and we are waiting on the output from that.

Houlton Second round of Technical Review Comments were received and we are preparing our answers. Federal applications –we applied for a SARA permit for butternut trees. This would allow us to harvest within the RoW.

Mactaquac No update since Open Houses. Reiterated the need to arrange for a discussion prior to yearend to arrange logistics for a Mi’gmaq specific fish passage discussion with NBP, MTI and Canadian Rivers Institute (CRI)

Point Lepreau Kathleen provided an update on Point Lepreau:

Discussion continues with First Nations and stakeholders regarding possible off-set activities.

The plant is operating at high power.

JOB - NB Power received recent applications from First Nations who have applied for Nuclear Response Force - Security positions at PLNGS and applications are currently under review.

Samantha asked if there is a timeline when they will find out about offsetting. Kathleen said it would not be this year. DFO needs about 3 months to review their proposal. Kathleen advised she has provided the CNSC with all the contact numbers for MTI, DFO and NB Power. This would be for the CNSC to set up a meeting with MTI concerning they may have or any discussions. CNSC is to follow up with MTI and MTI can invite NB Power if they would like to have us there. Kathleen asked Samantha to provide her with any questions she may have before the meeting as she would like to be able to prepare and get the answers they will need.

Robichaud responded advising that the Not yet discussed In progress Lepreau Robichaud, MTI Lepreau that was requested during meeting on April 26, information provided does not fully address MTI’s concerns and MTI 2017, continues to remain concerned. That NB Power has made the statement that at the time the plant was constructed (starting in 1975), there was no evidence of current or historic indigenous land use at that time. In Charles Hickman's September 21st email, he refers to the 2003 EA document but during that point in time, indigenous people would have been excluded from the PLNGS due to the station being in operation since 1983. We understand that documentation and standards have changed which would make it difficult to late, but MTI still needs to know what, if any, studies regarding Indigenous Occupancy and Land Use were conducted before the plant was originally constructed. With that information, we can determine if Indigenous Land Use and Occupancy was displaced by the creation of the plant. Therefore, we believe this issue remains an outstanding action item and remain very keen to receive more information. 168 2017/11/20 Neguac Email T.

With what you and I are working on here is what you can put together:

Create your Community Energy Plan:

Step 1- Know your Community- Collect your data on your housing, how many homes, and how old are they? Type of heating systems etc…any baseline data that you can gather pertaining to efficiency etc…

Step 2- Find some data organization software or data sheets, CMHC and maybe our contacts with 2020 might have some, this makes it easier to chart your data for your community.

Step 3 – based upon your data what is your plan? What are the immediate needs? What strategy fits? Funding sources?

Think about these things first and do what you can to gather this info, from this we can look at what is out there for efficiency supports/programs.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Open Houses for the Fundy Isles Cable Replacement Project. Your questions and feedback were very helpful. This email is intended to update participants in First Nation commercial fisheries, the FNFA and the GMFA on NB Power’s efforts to place the cables in locations that will cause the least disturbance to existing fishing activities in response to questions, concerns and recommendations made during our Open House meetings in St. George, Grand Manan,

New Brunswick Power Corporation: First Nation Engagement and Communication Log First Nation Consulted: Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Incorporated (MTI) Last Updated on December 2017

During the Open Houses the proposed routing options were reviewed between Deer Island & Campobello Island (Passage) and between Campobello and Grand Manan (Channel). The biggest issues identified were around commercial fishing and potential impacts the proposed routes might have on fishing activities in the Bay. We heard several specific comments from your members regarding the proposed cable routing including the following:

 “If the existing cable is going to remain in place why not put the new cable beside it and don’t bury it?”  “We all know where the cables are. Why put them in a different location?”  “Why would you move them further apart and take away existing fishing areas?”  “Doesn’t it make more sense to put them beside each other and not bury them, wouldn’t that save money?” In addition to these comments, several members of the Fisherman’s Associations helped to identify alternate routes for the cables. Members recommended alternate routes that would minimize impacts on existing fishing activities by avoiding existing fishing grounds and locating the two cables close to one another.

Once the open houses were complete the project team got together and reviewed all the feedback and input from all the participants. We agreed that the questions raised were valid and that the new routing options proposed were potentially viable. In order to prove the new routes additional survey work would need to be completed. The additional survey work would also be needed to support the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submittal. Canadian Seabed Research (CSR) were engaged in September to do the additional surveys to confirm the sub-surface conditions as well as confirm the location of the existing cables. The surveys were completed in October and the results supported the proposed routing recommended by the Fisherman’s Associations. The attached files show the existing and “new” proposed cable routing in the Passage and the Channel.

The attached maps for the Passage and the Channel show the following:  Existing Location – Solid line is confirmed location of the cable and dashed line is interpolated location of the cable  Proposed location – This is based on input during the open houses and confirmed by CSR  The new Easements as defined by Department of Environment Resource Development (DERD) will be 3 x the depth of the water. This will allow for repairs if needed in the future. This is based on industry standard for submarine cables. The Easements allow for future access if required to perform a repair. The passage will be 240m wide (3 x 80m) and the channel will be 330m wide (3 x 110m). The revised proposal for the passage (3.5km) and the

ID Date Project of Activity NB Power First Nation Purpose / Discussions Issues/ Concerns Raised Response Status # (YY/MM/DD) Interest (e.g. letter, Contact Contact email, phone call, meeting) channel (16.5km) is as follows:  Stay a minimum of 30m away from the existing cable. The 30m is the minimum safe distance recommended between cables to allow for a safe repair. Additional distance is required to avoid the outcroppings of rock at Pope’s Island for the Passage.  Relocate the Easement so that it encompasses both cables. The centerline of the new Easement will be a theoretical line drawn in between the two cables.  Bury the cables on a “best attempt basis” based on the subsurface conditions and safety considerations. Based on safe limits of approach and the fact that we cross cables at Wilson’s Beach in the intertidal zone burial will be limited. The current plan is to submit the EIA to the NBDELG on or before December 22nd based on the “new” proposed routing. We currently believe this is the best possible route with respect to all parties concerned as it minimizes the environmental footprint as well as minimizes the impact on the various fisheries in the region.

Francis Samantha An email was sent providing the following information: Engagement Robichaud, MTI As previously discussed, this topic came up from MTI in October and I believe it was triggered by Esgenoopetitj.

NB Power and Tobique have been successful with vegetation management contracts in the past for right of way clearing and transmission line maintenance. It began with a pilot before our department was created where Tobique was contracted to perform clearing and vegetation management for lines on and near communities following the safety required training.

Andrea confirmed she has spoken with the Manager of Vegetation Management, Rick Doucett about First Nations’ interests in vegetation management and he is pleased to hear about it as the workforce in this field is aging and succession planning is needed! As such, Andrea is brokering a meeting with Mawiw, an ASETS holder and Rick to discuss what can happen for Esgenoopetitj (and others) in this area. It is tentatively set for January. This is good as Mawiw may well be able to assist with the required funding for this training. We may also explore the potential and associated needs for Distribution tree trimming with them in the near future.

In addition, there is good opportunity to work with the other Tribal Councils (like North Shore District Micmac Council and Wolastoqey Tribal Council) that are also ASETS holders regarding other employment and contract opportunities. Exciting!

MTI advised this information is ok to share with them.

Also, MTI is currently negotiating 6 or 7 properties with Public Works, however, negotiations have stopped until the Mi’gamq and Maliseet can prove interest in the land.

Austin indicated that land is not ideal for a landing site and from his perspective the area is not previously disturbed. Area of erosion is outside project area. Also, advising that there will be a site visit with the Peskotomuhkati once the snow melts and MTI is invited to join if they would like. Derek will inform the MTI research team of the opportunity for a site visit.

Tessa is compiling responses and will send to Samantha once complete. New Business Anthony updated everyone on the news release that the Emera was not the successful candidate on the Atlantic Link bid Smart Meters Samantha had wanted an overview on what the smart meter project (Advanced Metering Infrastructure -AMI) project is. Andrea explained that the goal was to change out all meters to smart meters in 3 years. This would enable NB Power to provide customers with more frequent readings; it would help customers with consumption data and would help in outages as well as other things. We also advised there was a press release that morning as there were two reports done concerning them and their value. We have to go before the EUB for approval in February for the smart meters so the EUB hired a consultant and the intervener did as well. NB Power Open House Summary Report- Prepared by MTI Andrea stated she is thankful that they put this together and it was very helpful. Tessa stated there are a few edits to be done and will sent to Samantha/Kristy HG via email. Samantha will reach out to her team and see if there is any feedback. We will wait for direction. Samantha had a question concerning the transportation/storing of waste etc. from PLGS. Kathleen will provide her that information outside of the meeting.

Blanket Exercise

Andrea had a few questions concerning the cost of the exercise and the invitation that was made for us to join. She understood it to be an ask by MTI as a team/relationship building exercise. MTI stated that this is the internal cost that was provided to conduct the full exercise and that some edits may be done. This was the overall estimate and not exactly what NB Power may pay. Andrea asked the question of how many MTI staff would need to attend. Samantha also believes there should be 20 participants in total. She mentioned that perhaps NB Power would be interested in doing an exercise with another group that has one scheduled.

We compensate these individuals for their time.

If you have other questions, we can either get you on a call with the MTI Staff that coordinate the blanket exercises, or have them provide a brief written summary.

As Sam also indicated, in order to increase the number of participants, we can either combine your exercise with another group (we are planning to do this with DELG and AAS around the same time in February) or see if its possible to have more people at NB Power participate.

I should also point out that, if the relationship agreement were to be signed off and executed, some of the expenses would likely be covered under that Agreement.

There was no update for the Point Lepreau station as Kathleen away and unable to participate in the meeting.

Andrea McGathey joined the meeting and provided an update on the status of the application for a Fisheries Act Authorization for Point Lepreau:

As part of the Authorization process, NB Power has initiated discussions with First Nations, local fishers, and the communities. NB Power has also been working with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to understand the magnitude of the offsetting requirement that may become a condition of the Authorization. The Science branch within DFO has been reviewing the file and recently indicated that there is uncertainty in determining the significance of the effects from the impingement and entrainment from the operation of the CCW. NB Power has been advised to work directly with DFO to identify potential offsets and submit a draft application for review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). NB Power is planning on submitting an initial application with DFO in late March 2018. NB Power recognizes that this initial application is incomplete insofar as dialogue with FNs will continue and as such, we are looking for input from MTI for ideas for offsets. The ghost gear retrieval was discussed briefly, as an example. Mat provided information regarding the design of the CCW intake indicating that it was identified as the best-available design for minimizing impacts to fish from impingement and entrainment. Additional information on the CCW will be gathered and sent.

Fundy Isles

As previously discussed there was a leak in one of the cables that is set to be replaced. The cable is from Deer Island to Campobello and is protected by a blanket nitrogen. It was struck by a scallop fishing dredge. We found the leak and are continuing to supply nitrogen to the cable and will continue to do so until the line is replaced as per the proposed project currently undergoing EIA review.

Agreement is ready however there is no one available to sign. Derek’s advised his copy is not signed either. Derek and Andrea agreed to add a counter parts clause if NB Power legal were agreeable.

New Business There are 4 proposed wind farms that are 20 Megawatts each. NB Power is not the proponent. NB Power is entering into Power purchase agreements (PPA) and will do the design and construction for the transmissions line portion as we must ensure they are tied into our lines safely and built to our standards. The companies will be working through AAS as the Crown for duty to consult and EIA etc. Derek states the two Indigenous companies have reached out to MTI and he asked who the other two are. Andrea Allen states outside of the Indigenous companies she is not aware who they are or where the projects are located. Derek stated the Province has not reached out to them and that the proponents were the first to reach out to MTI. Derek was of the understanding by the Province that the consultation does not start until the EIA is registered.

PLGS Environmental monitor Andrea advised that Austin Paul is currently going over the job descriptions to make sure both jobs and descriptions are comparable to each other. He will send along with the security forms once he has completed his review. NB Power hopes to have this going for the start date of May 1st, 2018.

NB Power has been contracted to be the designer and the builder, however, consultation and EIA requirements are up to the two companies who will own them. AAS is the contact for the Crown on these projects. Update on existing & future NB Projects and efforts

Neguac

• EIA Registration was sent in early January. We have received the first round of TRC comments.

OrganiGram • We are looking at getting the determination and approval by end of March 2018 and hoping to begin construction by July 2018

Houlton • On February 14th we sent last round of TRC comments back to Sheila Goucher and are hoping to get determination by end of the week. • Following EIA Determination, NB Power will be entering into the Federal NEB Permit application process, which is anticipated to take 8-9 months to complete.

Milltown • Anthony advised the timeline has been pushed back a year. The original EIA submission date of mid-January 2018 with hopes of construction starting July 2018 has now been moved to 2019. The timeline is still tight but not as strained as the previous timeline. • NB Power is doing an evaluation of the project and a decision will be made mid- March to see if the project is still a go. If so we will file the EIA.

Grand Falls: • As previously reported, this Project is on hold from any advancement of registration until further notice.

Mactaquac: • George Porter joined as at the meeting and talked about spill capacity and what that will look like if we were to add more.

He provided an overview of the Canadian Dam Association (CDA) guidelines and their application to MQ Project and captured the fact that the current study uses the Risk Informed Spill Capacity aspect of the Guidelines. • Engineering has also signed a contract with Coleson Power Group which includes Stantec and EXP. They will be acting as the Owner’s Engineer which would provide additional resources to technical undertakings as required in a supplemental role to current NB Power staffing • A contract has been signed with Kleinschmidt who will be tasked with reviewing and designing the concepts associated with improved Fish Passage for Mactaquac • At present time EIA Registration is anticipated late 2019, which roughly coincides with the spring 2020 economic filing with NBEUB for approval to spend the money on the Project. • Follow up session for the Fish passage working group with WNNB was held January 18th. • WNNB and CRI presented the list of species targeted for passage to Kingclear FN on February 7th and the feedback was positive.

Kedgwick • Phase one is complete. • Phase two will be the decommissioning of the line

Point Lepreau

• There were no updates for PLGS- there was an update in the bi-weekly call that Kathleen had shared. • Andrea stated there was a Youtube video concerning Nuclear that she would like to share and would ask Tessa to send after the meeting. Nothing to do with PLGS just good information on Nuclear power.

A summary will be provided to WNNB and Consultation Coordinators.

Fish-Authorization Andrea McGathey joined the meeting to provide an update on the status of the application for a Fisheries Act Authorization for Point Lepreau. As part of the Authorization process, NB Power has initiated discussions with First Nations, local fishers, and the communities. NB Power is also working with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to understand offsetting and the magnitude of requirements that may become a condition of the Authorization. The Science branch within DFO is reviewing the file and is expected to provide guidance on the scope of the potential offsetting in the near future. In the meantime, NB Power has been advised to submit a draft application without the offsets included (so a partial application) for review by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). NB Power is planning on submitting an initial application with DFO in March, 2018 recognizing it will be incomplete as the offsets are still unknown and discussions with WNNB are still to be had. In the meantime, if there are any suggestions for what offsetting would be from WNNB, NB Power is interested in hearing them. NB Power will continue to engage with the First Nations communities on this project, sharing information as it becomes available. Colin had asked if offsetting would be retroactive. Anthony is not sure. Andrea M. indicated that the CNSC would be initiating a First Nations engagement program in the spring of 2018 as part of their overall mandate as the Crown to be establishing relationships with First Nations communities across the country. These sessions could include discussions about the Point Lepreau Fisheries Act Authorization, but they would also have a larger purpose of overall relationship building. NB Power’s understanding is that CNSC will continue to engage with the First Nations communities on this project specifically.
