Wildlife Species at Risk Mitigation and Habitat Restoration Plans
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB for approval, at least 4 months prior to
commencing construction, Wildlife Species at Risk Mitigation and Habitat Restoration
Plans for each species whose draft, candidate, proposed, or final critical habitat is directly
or indirectly affected by the Project. Each plan must include:
a) a summary of supplementary pre-construction survey results, including surveys for
biophysical attributes of critical habitat;
b) the location and type of critical habitat, for those wildlife species with early draft
and candidate critical habitat, including a description of the biophysical attributes,
potentially directly and indirectly affected by the Project;
c) the location, types and total spatial area for each type of critical habitat for those
wildlife species with proposed or final critical habitat, including a description of the
biophysical attributes, potentially directly and indirectly affected by the Project;
d) a detailed description of measures that will be used to avoid the destruction of
critical habitat;
e) a detailed description of mitigation and habitat restoration measures to be
implemented to reduce direct and indirect Project effects on critical habitat,
including all relevant measures committed to throughout the OH-001-2014
proceeding, any new mitigation measures resulting from supplementary surveys,
detailed criteria using clear and unambiguous language that describes the
circumstances under which each measure will be applied, and measurable targets
for evaluating mitigation and critical habitat restoration success;
f) identification and review of alternative mitigation and habitat restoration measures
to avoid or lessen direct and indirect Project effects on critical habitat, and the
rationale for the selected measure(s);
g) detailed description of how selected mitigation and critical habitat restoration
measures address the potential for time lags between when the Project impacts
occur and when mitigation and critical habitat restoration measures are
implemented and are fully functional;
h) details on post-construction monitoring of mitigation measures and critical habitat
restoration measures, including survey methods, corrective measures, detailed
criteria using clear and unambiguous language that describes the circumstances
under which each measure will be applied, and a proposed reporting schedule;
i)
details on how the mitigation, critical habitat restoration measures, and monitoring
measures are consistent with applicable recovery strategies and action plans;
j)
a commitment to include the results of the monitoring in the post-construction
environmental monitoring reports filed under Condition 151;
k) a description of how Trans Mountain has taken available and applicable Aboriginal
traditional land use and traditional ecological knowledge into consideration in
developing the plans including demonstration that those Aboriginal persons and
groups that provided Aboriginal traditional land use information and traditional
ecological knowledge, as reported during the OH-001-2014 proceeding and/
or pursuant to Condition 97, had the opportunity to review and comment on the
information;
l)
a summary of its consultations with Appropriate Government Authorities, any
species experts, potentially affected Aboriginal groups and affected landowner/
tenants. 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 those consulted, into the plan; and
m) confirmation that Trans Mountain will update the relevant Environmental Protection
Plan(s) to include any relevant information from the Wildlife Species at Risk
Mitigation and Habitat Restoration Plans.
