Hydrogeological study at Coldwater Indian Reserve (IR) No± 1
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB,
at least 6 months prior to commencing
construction between Veale Road and Kingsvale Pump Station
, a hydrogeological
report relating to the aquifer at Coldwater IR No. 1 in British Columbia. The report must:
a) describe the methodology and information sources used, including any field
investigations;
b) delineate the extent of the aquifer in the area of Coldwater IR No. 1;
c) characterize the aquifer recharge sources and aquifer confinement;
d) characterize the direction and speed of groundwater movement to wells on
Coldwater IR 1;
e) quantify the risks posed to groundwater supplies on Coldwater IR No. 1 in the
event of leaks, accidents or malfunctions from the Project;
f) based on the assessment of risks, describe proposed measures to address
identified risks, including but not limited to considerations related to routing,
project design, operational measures, or monitoring;
g) provide justification for the measures proposed to address identified potential
risks to groundwater supplies on Coldwater IR No. 1; and
h) include a summary of consultations undertaken with the Coldwater First Nation
and Appropriate Government Authorities, as well as copies of all written
comments that may be provided to Trans Mountain by the Coldwater First Nation
or Appropriate Government Authorities. In its summary, Trans Mountain must
provide a description and justification for how Trans Mountain has incorporated
the results of its consultation, including any recommendations from the Coldwater
First Nation or Appropriate Government Authorities, into the assessment.

Rare Ecological Community and Rare Plant Population Management Plan
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB for approval,
at least 5 months prior to
commencing construction
, an updated Rare Ecological Community and Rare Plant
Population Management Plan for ecological communities of concern, rare plants and
lichens, and early draft, candidate, proposed, or final critical habitat for plant and
lichen species under the
Species at Risk Act
, that are potentially affected directly or
indirectly by the Project during construction or operations, that includes:
a) a summary of supplementary survey results, and a demonstration of the overall
adequacy of the rare ecological community and rare plant surveys, including
the adequacy for the identification of biophysical attributes for any early draft,
candidate, proposed, or final critical habitat under the
Species at Risk Act
;
b) avoidance and mitigation measures to be implemented during construction
and operations, including all relevant measures committed to throughout the
OH-001-2014 proceeding and any new measures resulting from supplementary
surveys, with rationales and unambiguous criteria explaining under what
circumstances each measure will be applied, and measurable goals against
which the success of each measure will be evaluated;
c) a description of how the avoidance, mitigation, and offset hierarchy was
considered in developing the plan, with rationales for progressing from
avoidance to mitigation to offsets;
d) details on post-construction monitoring, including survey methods, the
appropriate number of years of monitoring to determine the success of each
type of avoidance and mitigation measure, corrective actions that might be
necessary, and the circumstances under which each such action would be taken;
e) a Preliminary Rare Ecological Community and Rare Plant Population Offset Plan
for any ecological communities and rare plant and lichen species that have
an at-risk status of S1, S1S2 or S2, or that are listed under federal or provincial
legislation for protection, and for any early draft, candidate, proposed, or
final critical habitat under the
Species at Risk Act
, and that, after five years of
operations, have ongoing effects. This preliminary plan must include:
