Hi there,

query from the District office

Jessy Chaplin [email protected] Monday, October 1, 2012 12:44 PM Paterson, Genevieve FLNR:EX; Stalker, Jennifer L FLNR:EX query from the District office Treaty Creek Access Road Oct_l_2012.pdf

Will Foster relayed a message to me that the District has requested air photo coverage of the proposed Treaty Creek Access Road (see map). I know that Lands has/had all the air photo coverage of Skeena Region, is it possible that Gen could try to find the air photos - hard copy - in the Lands File room? The 1 :50,000 mapsheet is 104N12.

It would be beneficial, because we used field data (walking the road alignments) and Lidar data (very high detail mapping) for the road design, not stereo air photos. It will take several weeks for me to order these new photos for the District office. And it seems redundant if they are available, just filed away.

Thanks

As requested, shape files for the KSM Project footprint. Seabridge is providing MPO with this footprint shape-file so that MPO will provide Seabridge with a letter and map, as per the "Guide to Involving Proponents When Consulting First Nations, based on the Updated Procedures for Meeting Legal Obligations when Consulting First Nations (March 2011)" directing Seabridge to which Treaty and First Nations the Crown intends to delegate some procedural aspects of consultation to Seabridge during Permitting of the KSM Project.

The map which Seabridge has requested is the KSM Project footprint shape-file overlaying the Consultative Areas Database.

One more action Item - MPO to write a letter to Sea bridge directing Seabridge to the First Nations Sea bridge is to engage with on the Project. We requested this letter several months ago and still have not received direction from FLNRO on permit applications engagement with First Nations. For example, there are several MOE permits which require us to consult (their word) with First Nations, stakeholders and the Public. Please send us a letter with a map with the KSM Project shape file overlaying the Consultative Areas Database so that Seabridge can fulfill the legal requirements for applying for provincial permits.

Thanks

Thanks for the agenda and email.

Elizabeth and I are up against some deadlines today, could we meet "by teleconference"?

If you could send us the proposed Nov 8 Agenda for discussion, that would be great.

We are reviewing the permit list and will have comments for you by 1 :00.

Thanks

KSM MORe review process commences when:

EAO has accepted the EA Application (30 day screening) 2

FNR-2013-00423 Page 69FNR-2013-00423 Page 69

EAO has accepted Concurrent Permitting

Prior to the MORC Review Process Commencing:

Project Manager (Jen Stalker) will distribute an E-mail, notifying the MORC that Batch #1 applications have been submitted (submitted at the same time the EA application is submitted), and will post them to the KSM Sharepoint Site if agencies and First Nations (MDRC) want to view them at this time (proponent will be responsible for distributing hardcopy applicationsl other, as requested by agencies and First Nations)

As per the Concurrent Approval Regulation, the Project Manager will provide a letter to the Executive Director (Environmental Assessment Office) that the applications have! have not been filed in accordance

Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) begins a 30 day screening on the EA application (only)

MORC Review Process Commences:

If the EA Application is accepted, the Executive Director (EAO) will provide written notice to the proponent and Jen Stalker (Major Projects Office) that the EA application has been accepted. The MDRC review process begins.

This will trigger the commencement of a 75 day screening for Batch #1 authorization applications (Le. has the proponent provided all information requirements in order for the agencies and First Nations to conduct their review of the batch #1 authorizations applications?

The Project Manager (Jen Stalker) will notify the MDRC that the 75 day screening phase has commenced (via E-mail). All agencies and First Nations (MDRC technical reviewers) will be responsible for providing the Project Manager with any information requirements that are missing! deficient "within 60 days" (of the 75 day screening period) to ensure enough time for the Project Manager to compile and draft notification to the Environmental Assessment Office and the proponent as to whaU if additional information is required.

3 FNR-2013-00423 Page 70FNR-2013-00423 Page 70

A MORC meeting will be scheduled early on in this phase (screening) to allow the opportunity for the agencies and First Nations to ask questionsl gain clarificationl other to the proponent based on the applications, and next steps in the MORC review process.

Move into the technical review phase (after screening phase is complete - information requirements have been meU provided in order for the MDRe to conduct a full review on Batch #1 applications)

If you have any questions or concerns. please do not hesitate to contact me.

For full list of attendees please see KSM Mine Development Review Committee list attached.

Start time: 10:40

1. Project Description and Project Planning Update – Seabridge Gold � Action �Genevieve Paterson to send out Seabridge Project Presentation (PowerPoint) to

MDRC members and observers (attached).� PAG & ARD from the TIA, what are the potential impacts to Treaty and Teigen Creek? At

Treaty Saddle PAG rock will be moved to TMF. There will be one portal, temporary water treatment plant for MAG and PAG rock piles.

� When construction of MTT is complete and when the tunnel is in operation the PAG rock will be trucked over to the TMF, there will be no PAG left on site.

� How will estimation be done on the volume? We have existing Geo Tech data from parts ofthe tunnel we can access. This information will be in the application packages to be provided,it will include where geo technical drilling and sampling has occurred.

� What will the capacity of all the temporary treatment plants? Action: Seabridge to provide.� What is the estimate of water coming out of the tunnel? Seabridge: At this time uncertain so

we adopt a conservative approach.� Tahltan: We would like to go on record that we object to the TIA area location due to the

potential impacts to Treaty and Teigen Creek that flow into the Bell Irving River, including the impacts to salmon. We feel the settling pond is in the wrong area as acid generating rockis proposed to be in places that have never been before, the fish are not used to this.

� Norm: Suggests that the location of the TIA be raised at EA review level.� Tahltan: Non contact water into streams around the mine, what happens when they pass

thought Acid Generating Rock?� Total length of tunnels? 64 km.

Break for lunch 12:02 –return 1:052. Coordinated Authorizations Process

� Tahltan: Coordinated Authorization Process (diagram from Mines Guide) title is incorrect, does not involve First Nations.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 72FNR-2013-00423 Page 72

2 | P a g e

3. First Nations Consultation (1:20)� Jason will be consulting on site specific permits with the Nisga’a Nation, Tahltan, Skii Km

Lax Ha and Gitanyow First Nation. To be clear, there will be no other consultation forum outside of the Environmental Assessment (EA) Review and or the MDRC.

� Seabridge is not responsible for consultation, however to engage and share information. Engagement recorders will be shared with the Province.

� During the MDRC we will not re open closed issues dealt with/closed at the Environment Assessment Office (EAO).

� During the MDRC there may be impacts that will only affect one or more specific parties, all members are welcomed to tailor their attendance to future meetings accordingly

� Letters have been sent to the Nisga’a Nation, Tahltan, Skii Km Lax Ha and Gitanyow First Nation on the consultation process. If there are any questions or comments please contact [email protected].

4. Concurrent Permitting – Concurrent Approval Regulation (What does this mean for the MDRC/ EA/ KSM Project?)

� Action Item: Concurrent Approval Reg, send out to MDRC. Link: http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/LOC/freeside/--%20e%20--/environmental%20assessment%20act%20sbc%202002%20c.%2043/05_regulations/10_371_2002.xml

� Enables the proponent to apply for their various provincial permits at the same time as theEA review.

� EAO Executive Director is to provide written notice to the proponent and the various provincial ministries of the status of application review i.e. accepted, rejected.

� MDRC will be the venue to review all provincial applications.� MDRC chair (Jennifer) will submit back to the proponent, in writing, the adequacy of the

information provided.� How is the concurrent different from synchronous? Concurrent is legislated and synchronous

is not.� Opportunity to streamline reporting? Yes, through staged reporting.� Tahltan: How is the concurrent approval distinct from the EA review? How can you make

permit applications without an Environmental Assessment Certificate? The EA review is at the strategic level and the MDRC is at the technical level, no permits will be approved prior to the approval of the EAC.

� Tahltan: Impact to wildlife through construction of access, no one pulls a bridge once aproject is done, example Galore. How will this group help to avoid this from happening again? FLRNO will be asking for reclamation security.

� NLG: No certainly that Seabridge will be able to sell this project, example Bruce Jack.� Gitanyow: Review timelines legislated? No under regulations. When the EAO ED made

approval for concurrent approval that was put into the Section 11 order? Yes. � Certified Project Description from EAO review becomes part of the project review at

permitting level. � THREAT: theoretically is the EAC gets issued; what agency is tasked with issues

management, and monitoring? The EAO is responsible for monitoring the EAC commitments. The EAO and FLRNO compliance officers do monitoring as part of the Auditor General’s program.

� Action Item: Capacity, need to discuss further to ensure we are all enabled to work on the permit review process.

� Action Item: Genevieve to distribute Mines Guide. Link: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/major_projects/mining/

5. MDRC Timelines, Milestones, Next Steps� 75 day Information Review� Technical Review� Recommendations� Prior to 75 days 30 day screening period? For EAO yes.� THREAT: Will First Nations get individual referrals, bundled, notice of intended decision or

though the MDRC? MDRC will be the forum both for consultation and discussions.� Proponent to submit all permit applications and applicable information to the entire MDRC.

6. MDRC Information Sharing & Authorization Application-Distribution � Genevieve proposing a Sharepoint site for the duration of the project� Most people have used Sharepoint in the past, but do not find it especially useful� Issues with data download� We can do both Sharepoint/E-mail� Government will be using the Sharepoint site-Posting all permit applications and project

management tools � Distribution of permit applications (large files ) is to be USB (sticks)� Small documents – direct E-mail� Action Item: Genevieve to send out how to obtain BCeID along with meeting minutes

package, BCeID is needed to access sharepoint site. � Action Item: Genevieve to attach table to be sent out with meeting minutes as to how people

would like to receive applications from Seabridge i.e. digital or hardcopy.� Action: MPO to send out note to MDRC of who will actually being doing the technical

review of applications and or who would like to be sent project updates.7. Next Steps/Questions Period

Dear Ms. Chaplin:

Re: Application for a Statutory Right-of-Way Crown Land Tenure in the Cassiar LandDistrict

Thank you for your Crown land application for Utility – Tunnel purposes in the vicinity of Treaty Creek, and lying between Unuk River and Bell-Irving River, in northern BC.

FrontCounter BC (FCBC) has accepted your application on behalf of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO). Your application has been assigned to Cam Bentley who will review your proposal and make a recommendation to approve or disallow the application.

This letter does not imply tenure will be offered nor does it give you any authorization to occupy or use the Crown land under application.

During the application review, your application will be referred for comment to:� First Nations;� other government agencies having statutory responsibilities related to your

application;� local governments; and� the general public.

The application review requires the Province to undertake legally required consultation withthose First Nations which have aboriginal interests in the area of your application. In order to meet the Province’s legal obligations to First Nations, it is important to ensure an appropriate level of consultation is completed. In addition, some applications may require further study (e.g. archaeological assessments or review by other authorities such as the Environmental Assessment Office). The length of time required to complete an application review will vary and depends on: the complexity of the application; the potential for social and environmental impacts; and, the effect the proposal may have on aboriginal interests.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 88FNR-2013-00423 Page 88

This will provide you with certainty that the decision on your application is made in a manner that respects aboriginal interests, minimizes negative impacts on the environment and is in the best interests of the Province.

Based on the comments received from First Nation consultations, agency and stakeholder referrals and MFLNRO's technical review of the application you may be required to provide additional information in a form acceptable to MFLNRO. You may be contacted byMFLNRO to discuss the possibility of arranging a meeting between yourself, First Nations and MFLNRO. The intent of such a meeting would be to share your vision for the use of Crown land and to answer questions from the First Nation related to their use of the land.

If you require any further information or clarification, please contact Cam Bentley at 250-847-7388 or email to [email protected], quoting the above noted file number.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Chermesnoka/Senior Natural Resource SpecialistFrontCounter BCMinistry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations

Attached is the application distribution list for MORC members, still waiting to hear from a few people, will update when I hear back. Hopefully you find it useful.

Any chance of getting those comments on the permit list? If this template/list I developed doesn't work please feel free to nix it I only created it as I found discrepancies between the original list from the Concurrent Permitting Strategy and the Master List which made it difficult to determine how many permit were going to be required.

Talk to you soon,

Just wondering on the MORC update email Jen refers to in the attached email will be released?

Also, is there a First Nations letter for us?

We have been receiving questions from MORC reviewers asking when the EA Application was to be submitted, I had told Jen this information the week of November 16th

, do you know if she informed the MORC?

Hi Jessy,

Tried giving you a shout this afternoon - sounds like you are busy, busy ...

A couple of things I wanted to touch base with you on:

First Nations letter Uoint letter from EAO and MPO)

o I had left a message with Chris Hamilton last. week (and will follow up again before Thursday). The letter is with EAO at this time. I have let Chris know and hoping to be able to finalize the letter and sign off The alternative would be that James Cuell sign

List of Authorizations distribution (Le. hardcopies .. )

o You should have received the distribution list from Genevieve. There are a couple of agencies left outstanding, of which Genevieve has committed to following up on and getting that information to you as soon as she receives it. .

Permit List

o Would like to follow up with yourself and Genevieve on this piece, to provide an update as to where we're at. We want to ensure that we have a complete list of authorizations (and their requirements) that we all agree on, of which will be coming in as Batch #1 (through concurrent permitting). We want to be able to line up! prepare in advance; FCBC, the agencies and First Nations (confirmation as to what they can be expecting to come in at the end of February 2013, should the EA application be accepted at that time).

Licence of Occupation (MTT)

o FCBC has sent an acceptance letter to Seabridge (as per your E-mail to myself, on December 3, 2012). The acceptance letter that you received is the standard letter that FCBC uses to indicate that the application has been accepted into the system. It is acknowledged through Major Projects that the Licence of Occupation for the MTT will be part of the Batch #1 authorizations, and First Nations Consultation will occur through the MDRC on this application.

I am aiming to get out a project update to the MDRC indicating that the EA Application is expected to be submitted to the EA late January 2013, and an amendment to Section 13 (through the EAO) now indicates that authorizations will be submitted once the EA Application is "accepted", of which we can expect applications to be submitted late February (if the EA application is accepted within the 30 day screening). However, I would like to see a copy of the approved amendment from the EAO before that update goes out to the MDRC.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give me a call After that date, please contact James Cuell

and/ or Genevieve Paterson.

Thank you Jessy.

I said very clearly on the phone yesterday "January". Not We expect this to be sometime towards the end of January 2013.

In future, please do not take liberties with statements that Seabridge has provided.

I'don't expect you to make changes to this message as I appreciate your efforts. I appreciate and I am grateful that you understand the importance of communicating with the MORC and keeping the MORC members informed,

January 8, 2013 Jessy Chaplin Permitting Coordinator, KSM Project 123 Main Street, P.O. Box 2536 Smithers, BC V0J 2N0 Via e-mail: [email protected] Dear Jessy, As requested, this letter is to clarify for Seabridge Gold Inc. (Seabridge), your First Nations Engagement obligations on the permit applications for the proposed KSM Mine Project (Project). The duty to consult with First Nations on the KSM Project remains wholly with the province. With respect to your proposed application under the Environmental Assessment Act, the Environmental Assessment Office has provided direction on First Nations engagement. For the purposes of coordinating the review of permit applications for the Project, the Province has convened the KSM Mine Development Review Committee (MDRC). The Province has invited potentially affected First Nations and the Nisga’a Nation to be members of this MDRC. These First Nations include:

� Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs Office � Nisga’a Nation � Tahltan Nation � Skii km Lax Ha

The First Nations membership may be modified over time, depending on the outcomes of KSM’s environmental assessment and which issues flow from the EA to the MDRC. The Province requests that Seabridge support this engagement with First Nations and the Nisga’a Nation in the MDRC process by undertaking the following:

- Attending MDRC meetings and providing project related information; - Meeting with the identified First Nations, outside of the MDRC meetings, possibly

with the Province, to describe how specific aspects of the project may affect the interests of First Nations and the Nisga’a Nation;

- Consider ways to avoid or mitigate impacts or concerns respecting aboriginal or treaty interests brought forward by the Nisga’a Nation or First Nation; and

FNR-2013-00423 Page 110FNR-2013-00423 Page 110

- Document engagement including details where project modifications are made to address aboriginal and treaty interests and provide this record to the Province to assist in its decision making.

This engagement is not intended to duplicate the engagement currently underway in support of the Environmental Assessment process. Jennifer Stalker is the Chair of the KSM MDRC and Jason Pope is the Consultation Coordinator. Please contact either one if you have any questions. We look forward to working with Seabridge on your KSM Project.

Genevieve and I went over a draft in January, with a couple more changes, I think we are getting close to getting it right.

It is difficult to separate project components in last section, I left it with a list of activities in the left column and then applicable acts and regulations in the other rows. I see confusion ahead as we have an area called Mine Site which refers to the western part of the KSM Project which contains the deposits and rock storage facilities. I wasn't sure if when you were referring to the 'Mine Site' if you meant the whole Project, or not. So I made it clear where activities were within the Mine Site or PTMA (Processing and Tailing Management Area).

As you are aware, we received a time extension on the concurrent permit applications from the EAO. While the letter from the EAO states permit applications must be submitted within 7 days after the KSM EA-EIS is accepted for review, Chris H. clarified that the process is a little less simple than that. Seabridge must submit the permit applications to your office (MPO-FLNRO), they have to be accepted for review by the agencies reviewing them and the Project Manager has to confirm in writing that each application was accepted (for review) back to the EAO (with email backup). Seabridge is to be copied on the email from the MPO to the EAO.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OFFICE Electronic Project Information Centre

Guidance to Proponents for Submitting Electronic Files

The Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) publishes environmental assessment documentation such as Terms of Reference (ToR) or Application Information Requirements (AIR) and applications for an environmental assessment certificate, project descriptions, and other related information in the electronic Project Information Centre (e-PIC).

All applicable project documentation must be submitted to EAO within the guidelines listed below. This applies to documentation prepared by both proponents and their consultants. Proponents are responsible for ensuring their consultants are aware of these guidelines.

Electronic Documentation

� All documentation must be submitted on CD, DVD or via e-mail as appropriate for the document size

and in accordance with the project requirements. � It must be in .pdf format, although other formats may also be requested by the EAO. � It must not have security limitations or passwords of any kind. � It is preferred that the electronic files do not exceed 5 MB in size but they must not exceed 10 MB.

Documentation that exceeds 10 MB may be returned to the proponent. � The table of contents must be a separate document. � Pictures can dramatically increase the file size of a document in .pdf format. Making the picture a jpeg

(.jpg) before inserting it can help to meet the size limits mentioned above. � File names must reflect the contents of the document and must not have slashes, brackets or commas. � When possible, small files of the same type should be combined and kept within the size limits

mentioned above. Format of Applications

Applications are usually large documents of several volumes with tables, figures and drawings. We have two formats that can be used when submitting applications:

Format 1: This format has all similar file types in one folder; therefore, all the drawings for all the volumes are in the drawings folder, all the figures are in the figures folder, etc. There are no sub-folders within the drawings, figures, tables, etc. folders, only files.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 122FNR-2013-00423 Page 122

Format 2: This format shows all the applicable figures, drawings, tables and additional information applicable to volume 1, within that folder.

Folders and Sub-Folders

Please note with both types of file structures, there are only two levels of folders. In Format 1, the Application level may have as many sub-folders as needed. In the next level, where folders such as “volume 1”, “appendices” or “tables” are located, those folders are to contain files only. Additional sub-folders within the “appendices”, “tables”, etc. folders are not allowed. In Format 2, the Application level may contain as many sub-folders as needed; however, the volume sub-folders are to contain all the files for each specific volume regardless of whether they are tables, figures, etc.

File Names

In Format 1, the appendices, figures, etc., are not specific to a volume, they are part of the overall application and, therefore, it is sufficient to name files “Appendix A Data Log, Figure 1-1 Lake Echo”, etc.

In Format 2, each volume has its own appendices, figures, etc. And, as it is possible to have, for example, figure 1.1 in each volume, each file needs to be named appropriately and completely for the volume it is within. Examples: Volume 1 Chapter 1 Introduction, Volume 1 Chapter 2 Table of Contents, Volume 1 Appendix A Studies of the Lake, Volume 1 Figure 2-5 Aerial View of Land.

Additional Information

For further clarification and information on these requirements, please contact the Business Applications Administrator by phone at (250) 356-7441, by fax at (250) 356-7477, or by e-mail at [email protected]

I have checked with Shared Services (re: Sharepoint). They have confirmed that the format at which EAO outlines in the their electronic guidelines will be compatible for Sharepoint. Please submit the permit applications electronically as per the EAO electronic guidelines (formatting).

As well ... please note that we cannot post a document! single file that is over 50MB onto Sharepoint (50MB is the max per document ... not per folder). If there is an application that is over 50MB, please let us know so that we can figure out! prepare ahead of time how we can make this work on our end), or look at another option; such as a dropbox that we can make available to the MORC to view the application.

Please find attached the following;

KSM Permit list (with agency comments incorporated - these comments were discussed at the meeting with Will Foster and Jeanien Carmody- Fallows on March 8, 2013) .

MRC Process map - most current (adjusting timeline as required)

KSM Permitting Timeline - hard dates will be incorporated into this table once we know "Day 1" (the day EAO accepts the EA application for review - EA screening phase complete). This timeline will be adjusted as/ if required throughout the permitting review process (as/ if timeline dates adjust).

Meeting with Sea bridge on March 8, 2013 (Jessy Chaplin, Elizabeth Miller, Jen Stalker, Will Foster, Jeanien Carmody-Fallows)

Action Items Noted:

1 FNR-2013-00423 Page 127FNR-2013-00423 Page 127

Will Foster requesting large overview map from Seabridge (outlining the project footprint and OL TC labels)

, Will Foster to check if SUP can cross over Mines Act Permit (Will Foster has confirmed that it

cannot)

Will Foster requesting notification from Seabridge (via e-mail or letter) regarding any existing OL TC's that Seabridge would like closed out (apply for new ones, rather than amending the existing ones)

Jeanien to check into flexibility around new requirements (Landfills) - Jen to follow up with Jeanien

Issues Tracker (EA process)

o EAO has delegated issues tracking for EA review to Seabridge (my understanding)

o MPO would like regular access to the issues tracker (developed during the EA review) - help determine earlier and coordinate what issues will be addressed at EA and what issues will be brought to the MRC table.

o Seabridge has confirmed that their Issues Tracker will be made available to MPO throughout the process(s).

o Jen and Gen to coordinate with Jessy as to what this will look like? (Where the Issues Tracker will be housed, and access to it).

To Note:

As discussed at the meeting held on March 8th, the Draft 'Terms of Reference' for the KSM

MRC will be distributed for review and comment once the EA starts their screening phase (to help deter any confusion around e-mails (and what process), while the EA is gearing everyone up for the EA screening phase at this time).

The next MRC meeting will be scheduled shortly after the permit applications have been submitted (and hardcopies received by those requesting hardcopies) - as we enter into the MRC screening phase (75 days after the EA application is accepted for review, agencies (MPO to coordinate) must determine! confirm that all information requirements are included in the applications to conduct a full technical review).

o As per current timelines (what we know today) - I will be looking at scheduling this in early June 2013 (if we can expect applications to be submitted mid-May)

KSM Project Permitting: Meeting March 8 2013 with MPO and Skeena Stikine District

Jessy Chaplin [[email protected] Friday, March 22, 2013 2:37 PM Foster, William J FLNR:EX [email protected]; Stalker, Jennifer L FLNR:EX; Paterson, Genevieve FLNR:EX; Brent Murphy KSM Project Permitting: Meeting March 8 2013 with MPO and Skeena Stikine District

On March 8th, we discussed tenuring of the TeAR SUP and Mineral Tenure Act mining lease.

Seabridge understands and shares your concern about trying to overlap a Forest Act tenure and a Mineral Tenure Act mining lease. I want to clarify with you that Seabridge will not be applying for a mining lease for the PTMA (Process and Tailings Management Area) in the Batch 1 permit applications. Seabridge will not be applying for the PTMA mining lease in concurrent permitting.

The importance of this is that the TeAR SUP permit application will not be complicated by other tenure applications around the "Lower Access" or North Treaty Lower Road. The construction and operation of the North Treaty Lower Road will be applied for under the Mines Act permit application.

Reference: 102321

• November 30,2012

Jessy Chaplin Permitting Coordinator Seabridge Gold Inc. PO Box 2536 1235 Main St Smithers BC VOJ 2NO

Dear Ms. Chaplin:

•

This letter is in response to your letter of November 21, 2012, requesting an amendment to the November 6, 2009 Order under section 11 of the Environmental Assessment Act (Act) for the environmental assessment (EA) of the proposed KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project (proposed Project).

Section 13 of the Act provides me with the authority to " ... vary the scope, procedures and methods determined under section 11 ... if necessary ... to complete an effective and timely assessment of the reviewable project." I consider this letter a section 13 Order for the purposes of the Act.

Section 15.4 of your section 11 Order currently states the following:

15.4 The Proponent, if applying for concurrent review of one or more applications for approvals under other enactments, must submit the request to the Project Assessment Manager no later than when the Proponent submits its Application under section 15.1 of this Order.

Pursuant to section 13 of the Act, I now order that section 15.4 of the section 11 Order be replaced with the following:

15.4 The Proponent, if applying for concurrent review of one or more applications for approvals under other enactments, must submit the request to the Executive Project Director within seven days after the date on which the Executive Project Director notifies the Proponent under section 16(4) of the Act that the Proponent's Application has been accepted for review.

Paterson, Genevieve FLNR:EX Thursday, April 25, 2013 10:05 AM 'Jessy Chaplin' Stalker, Jennifer L FLNR:EX Application Distribution List!Shapefiles

Here is the updated distribution list.

Still waiting to hear back from Garret, will let you know his preference once I hear back from him.

In preparation for lands application submissions, Front Counter wanted me to pass on these notes on application requirements: .

• Need shapefile of the exact footprint of the application, not the entire project.

• In the case where an area needs access, we also need the road to be part of the application.

• If there is a permit or tenure for the access already, please indicate in the application.

Thanks,

RE: KSM Project: Tues May 28 --uploading permit applications to Sharepoint

If you could please forward me the applications I will ensure they are uploaded to the appropriate venue (sharepoint) for the MRC to review.

You can send me the applications via FTP site or USB, I will leave it up to you and your team to decide what will be most convenient.

Thanks,

Hi Jen and Gen,

Just wondering if you got the sharepoint questions sorted out, Rescan is ready to start uploading electronic permit application files directly to the Sharepoint. Who do we speak to at Government to get access to the Sharepoint?

Thanks for the information on the MOTI permit applications.

For Sherrie's trip next week, I measured distances off of Google Earth, and attached a screen clip. I've been there 3 -4 times, and have attached a couple of photos for you.

The existing road turnoff is just before the large round metal culvert crossing of Glacier Creek. It is located 20 km south of Bell II, approximately 3.3 km south of the Skowkill MOTI gravel pit, and about 8.5 km north of Deltaic Creek (there is a MOTI gravel pit on the left just before Deltaic Creek.)

The approach from the south is straight for 2.2 km and mostly flat with a slight incline up to Glacier Creek. Past the turnoff, the highway runs straight for another 680 m and then there is a gradual turn east.

At the turnoff, the 600 m of existing gravel road is drivable to the Bell Irving river, the old logging road bridge abutments are visible when the river has low water levels and from the air you can see the -3 km of existing road and cutblocks on the western side.

I just had a look at the figure for the transmission line, and a permit will also be required for the temporary access road.

If possible, could you send me more details on the location? Sherrie will be heading up highway 37 next week, and would like to take a look.

1.0 GOAL OF COMMITTEE The goal of the KSM Mine Review Committee, the “committee” is to provide an open, transparent, efficient and timely Coordinated Authorizations Review Process for the review of applications by Seabridge Gold Inc. (proponent) for the KSM Mine Project (project).

Coordinated Authorization Review Process: Process that harmonizes First Nations consultation and the coordination of the multiple authorizations required from the various natural resource agencies for major mines. This process is meant to improve consistency, eliminate overlap and duplication in process and information requirements by the various agencies.

The committee is established under Section 9 of the Mines Act for the technical review of mining projects. It is chaired by the Province, and serves as a forum for authorization processes related to the construction, development, operations, reclamation and closure of mines including the Mines Act permit (mine infrastructure, reclamation, bonding), Environmental Management Act permits (waste management), and others.

The purpose of the committee is to:

� Conduct a coordinated review of application information submitted by the proponent for authorizations required for each development phase of the project.

� Ensure opportunities for First Nations and Treaty Nations to be properly consulted and, where necessary, propose accommodation and mitigation, including but not limited to receiving and sharing information, and, where appropriate, contribute to the development of proposed mitigation measures for potential adverse environmental effects.

� Make recommendations to Statutory Decision Makers (SDMs) regarding applications under review including, where appropriate, accommodation of Aboriginal rights and title.

� Identify technical issues related to the project, and develop recommended solutions for those issues.

� Refer issues related to the development of the project that are raised by the committee but not within the responsibilities of the committee to the appropriate authority or forum.

2.0 DELIVERABLES OF COMMITTEE The committee will deliver the following:

� Application Information Requirements (AIR) for authorizations related to required and/or desired activities.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 205FNR-2013-00423 Page 205

3 | P a g e

� A ‘Committee Report’ regarding applications under review for consideration by SDMs, including:

o A summary of the process; o A record of issues raised and how they have been resolved; o Outstanding issues for the consideration of the SDM; o Recommendation of the committee to resolve outstanding issues; o Chair of Committee will compile the Committee Report. The Mine Review

Committee (MRC) will review and comment prior to the Report being finalized and submitted to the SDM’s for consideration.

3.0 RELATIONSHIP TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

3.1 PROVINCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS The committee will take into account the recommendations of the Environmental Assessment Office that are relevant to the specific matters before the committee, e.g. Environmental Assessment Report, Certified Project Description, Table of Conditions, etc.

3.2 FEDERAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS The committee will take into account the recommendations of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency that are relevant to the specific matters before the committee.

4.0 COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP The names, agencies, and contact details for all designated local, provincial and federal government representatives, as well as First Nations and Treaty Nations representatives on the committee are provided in Appendix 1.

5.0 PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT Applicants for a Mines Act permit are subject to a legal requirement to advertise project proposals and make information available for public review, with 30-days available for public review and comment (Part 10.2.1 and 10.2.2 of the Mines Code).

The Public Notification Regulation under the Environmental Management Act places certain notification responsibilities on an applicant for an effluent discharge permit. The regulation is available on the Internet at http://www.bclaws.ca/.

Although members of the public do not sit on the committee, representatives of local governments in the project area are invited to sit as full committee members in order to represent the broad views of the public and to ensure that local and regional government programs and policies are taken into account in the project review.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 206FNR-2013-00423 Page 206

4 | P a g e

Individual members of the public and overlapping tenure stakeholders have several opportunities to participate in the review of a mine project and therefore potentially influence the proposed project:

� access to proponent-sponsored outreach to the public; � notification by the proponent of the application under review, access to the application

and related materials, and opportunities to review and comment; � invitations to attend proponent-sponsored informational open-houses and public

meetings organized in local communities during the application review timeline, at which the proponent explains the project, its potential for effects and proposed management plans, and where the public can ask questions and listen to proponent responses;

� opportunities to attend committee meetings, on invitation by the Chair, to discuss concerns with committee members and the proponent; and

� access to finalized meeting minutes outlining the business of the committee during a project review.

6.0 FIRST NATIONS CONSULTATION AND ACCOMMODATION

6.1 BACKGROUND Before issuing authorizations for any project activity, the Province has a legal responsibility to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate First Nations with aboriginal interests in the proposed project area. The Province also has treaty-specific responsibilities where there are established treaty rights. The scope of each responsibility is project-specific. Participation of potentially affected First Nations and Treaty Nations on the committee will contribute to the Province’s consultation and treaty obligations. Reasonable efforts will be made by the Province to provide for engagement of First Nations and Treaty Nations in the MRC activities, including preparation of committee deliverables. Capacity funding, however, is not available outside of Strategic Engagement Agreements.

Proponent-driven initiatives and committee activities can contribute to consultation process through:

� First Nations participation as members of the MRC; � Accommodation through recommendations leading to permit conditions; � Proponent outreach and information sharing; � Proponent – First Nation agreements; and � Proponent initiatives to address impacts to First Nations.

Accommodation, where appropriate, can include a range of mitigation and environmental protection and management strategies developed by the committee, or through other forums, such as the EA process. Accommodation recommendations can be developed

FNR-2013-00423 Page 207FNR-2013-00423 Page 207

5 | P a g e

through the entire review process but must be endorsed by the appropriate SDM before the accommodation is offered to a First Nation.

6.2 TAHLTAN FIRST NATION The proposed project footprint lies partially within the asserted territory of the Tahltan First Nation.

6.3 SKII KM LAX HA The proposed project footprint lies partially within the asserted territory of the Skii Km Lax Ha.

6.4 GITANYOW HUWILP The proposed project footprint lies outside of the Gitanyow asserted traditional territory. Wilp Wii Litsxw has been invited to the Mine Review Committee due to potential downstream effects.

The above First Nations have been invited to participate in the committee as their asserted territory may be directly or indirectly affected by applications, commitments, and conditions under review. Further to this, for those First Nations that have entered into Strategic Engagement Agreements (SEA’s) with the Province, issues outside of the scope of the Mine Review Committee may be brought forward to other forums as defined by their Agreements (i.e. Level 4 Working Groups).

The MRC does not discharge all consultation duties to the Gitanyow. The Gitanyow Engagement Framework (signed April 23, 2013) stipulates that the permitting for the KSM Project will be subject to a Level 4 Engagement Process. Issues beyond the scope of the MRC and EA processes will be subject to the Engagement Framework Level 4 process.

6.5 NISGA’A NATION The proposed project footprint lies partially within the Nass Area as defined within the Nisga’a Final Agreement (NFA). The Nisga’a has been invited to participate in the Mine Review Committee as they have treaty rights that may be directly or indirectly affected by applications, commitments and conditions under review. The committee will also consider the potential impacts of permit applications and authorizations with respect to residents of Nisga’a Lands, Nisga’a Lands, or Nisga’a interests set out in the Nisga’a Final Agreement.

7.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

From time to time, however, issues may arise regarding interpretation of policy, challenges in meeting legislated time limits, or difficulty in resolving technical issues that cannot be resolved at the committee level. In the event that consensus cannot be reached by members of the committee, the following procedures will apply:

1. Members will make reasonable efforts to achieve consensus. 2. Chair will refer, as necessary, any technical issues to senior technical staff or senior

executive levels of government for early resolution, with an option for disagreeing parties to present their views on the issue.

3. Chair will refer, as necessary any non-technical issues (e.g. policy interpretation) to an issue-specific sub-committee which will have 10 working days (or longer at discretion of Chair) to resolve before referral to SDMs or senior executive levels of government for resolution. Chair may call upon senior levels to advise/support the sub-committee.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 210FNR-2013-00423 Page 210

8 | P a g e

4. At the end of the review and recommendations stages, the Chair will describe any remaining unresolved issues in the Committee Report, which will include: consensus recommendations, description of unresolved issues, and views of all parties on unresolved issues.

5. The Chair will provide the Committee Report to committee members for review and comment prior to production of final draft.

6. SDMs and/or senior executive levels of government have the option of referring issues back to the Committee at any time for further review, information-sharing, and/or resolution.

7. SDMs will provide advance notice to the Nisga’a Nation prior to final decision or approval of application or authorization.

11.0 LIMITS OF THESE TERMS OF REFERENCE Nothing in these Terms of Reference limits or abrogates the responsibilities or duties assigned to individual ministries or agencies under their own legislation. First Nations participation on the Committee will contribute to Crown’s legal responsibility to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate, but may not constitute the full level of engagement that may be required to address asserted aboriginal interests or established Treaty rights. SDMs will be provided with a Committee Report, which, combined with other information, will supplement the suite of information from which to make informed decisions.

Hi Jen,

Barnewall, Rosemary C TRAN:EX Monday, August 19, 2013 4:08 PM Stalker, Jennifer L FLNR:EX Applegate, Sherrie TRAN:EX RE: KSM MRC Update - Permit Application Screening Phase h~s begun

MoT will require the following from Seabridge for their first batch of permit:

1) For the access permit we require the design drawings for the intersection

2) For the Transmission Line Crossing permit we will require a location map, and details of the lines (for example vertical clearance, voltage, crossing angle of the line, if any infrastructure such as pole or guide wire will be within the RoW). Attached is the link to the MoT Utility Policy Manual, which will provide details on the required clearances.

http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/permits/Utility%20Permit%20Manual.pdf

3) For the temporary access for transmission line construction, we will required details on the location, site lines, drainage and grade of the access road at highway 37.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Jen,

Fielding, Regan ENV:EX Thursday, August 8, 20139:25 AM Stalker, Jennifer L FLNR:EX Carmody-Fallows, Jeanien ENV:EX KSM - Air permit application review notes KSM Air permit application notes~Aug 82013_rf.docx

Attached are my comments on the five air permit (incinerator) applications.

I think that it would be more efficient for KSM and MOE for the five permit applications to be consolidated into one. I discussed this alternative permitting approach with Jessy over the phone, and she did not seem opposed. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Regsn Fielding Environmental Protection Officer BC Ministry of Environment Environmental Protection Division Skeena Region Box 5000 Smithers, BC VOJ 2NO Phone: 250·847·7353 Fax 250·847·7591 email: [email protected]

MOE EPD - Review Notes on Air Permit Applications for KSM Concurrent Permitting

Authorization #s': 106826, 106827, 106829, 106832, and 106833

Prepared: Aug 8, 2013 by Regan Fielding

General Permitting Approach for Air Emissions:

Five applications for air permits were submitted by the client. Three of the applications correspond to

individual camp sites, while the remaining two applications each consist of two neighboring camps with

some shared infrastructure. The applications are very similar in content.

As an alternative to the above approach, MOE EPD recognizes that all camp air emissions could be

authorized under one permit. For this approach, the information presented under the five separate

applications would need to be consolidated. Annual discharge fees would be determined from the sum

of the discharges between the seven camps. This approach would reduce the number of application fees

($200/application) and annual base fees ($lOO/permit) charged to the client. Once the construction

camps are no longer required, a minor permit amendment would be required to reduce the authorized

discharge quantity and associated discharge fees.

Alternatively, camp air emissions could also be authorized under two permits. One permit would

authorize emissions from the construction camps, while the other would authorize the emissions from

the operating camps. Once the construction camps are no longer required, then the air permit for the

construction camps would be cancelled.

I recommend that the client revise their permit application approach for air emissions and seek

authorization under one permit.

Open Burning of Clean Wood Waste:

Open burning of clean wood waste is not identified in the air permit applications. MOE requires

confirmation that there is no intention to open burn clean wood waste, as this activity requires MOE

authorization. Typically, authorization to conduct open burning of clean wood waste forms a component

of the air permit. Please note that the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation only applies to land

clearing debris and does not allow for open burning of lumber scraps or other clean burning combustible

materials. If the intention is to open burn clean wood waste from construction activities, then the TAR

and application should contain appropriate information including but not limited to estimated monthly

volumes of waste to be open burned (maximum and average volumes), description of burn and ash

disposal locations, and description of waste to be open burned.

Generators:

Current approach of MOE EPD is that the production of electricity by the combustion of fuel, where the

rated electrical production is less than 5 MW under peak load, does not require an authorization.

Quantity of Waste Discharged:

3.1 Waste generation estimate - The estimate of 2.75 to 4.5 kg seems high and I believe the source

reference provided for this information is not accurate. Applications for similar camp facilities

have used a waste generation estimate of 2kg of waste/person/day that takes into a'ccount

recyclables, and other materials not suitable for incineration. Please provide information to

support the estimate and provide a single value for the estimate rather than a range of values.

Please' state the daily maximum weight of waste to be incinerated and the corresponding

number of incinerator batches required based on full capacity at the camps. The required

number of incinerators should be based on maximum camp capacity, estimated waste

generation rates, incinerator batch capacity, and the duration of a typical incinerator batch cycle

for a full load of putrescible food waste.

The following link provides EPA published waste generation rates for the United States.

http://www .e pa .gov / osw / non ha z/ m un icipa 1/ pubs/ msw _2010 _rev _factsheet. pdf

The applications for Camps #9/#10 and Camp #5/Treaty Operating Camp were the only

applications that presented estimates for daily waste generation. However, estimates provided

{see Table 3} were based on an unsubstantiated waste generation estimate of 3.38

kg/person/day provided as a table footnote (refer to 1" paragraph in point 3.1 above).

3.2 Batch capacity and cycle times - Please clarify what the capacity of incinerator CA-600 is

{inconsistently presented as 272 kg/batch in the technical memo and 341 kg/batch in appended

fa ct sheet}.

Also, I have concerns that the estimated total cycle time (5 hours) is low and does not refh~ct

that putrescible food waste has a high moisture content and may require a longer burn cycle.

Appropriate heat-up and cool-down periods should also be accounted for. The appended

information on livestock incineration shows that for the six test cases the primary burner was on

for a minimum of 5 hours plus additional time for heat-up/cool-down, and loading/unloading.

Operating Period:

4.1 The operating period is 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.

Discharge Works:

5.1 Estimated Rate of Discharge for Incinerator (Table 2-4 or Table 2-3 depending on application)

The numbers presented under "Frequency" show an inconsistent relationship between camp

size and the number of incineration cycles required per day. For example, based on the CA-600

incinerator, for the Mitchell operating camp (350 people), 4 to 6 incineration cycles/day is

estimated. In contrast, for the Camps #9 & #10 (540 people), only 3 to 4 incineration cycles were

Sent: To: Subject: KSM Municipal Wastewater Registration applications

Hi Jennifer,

Comments I sent to you in a previous email made reference to a Technical Information Summary Sheet as well as Certification by Qualified Professionals sheet. I meant to attach these but forgot. I have provided a link to where these sheets can be found as well as direct links to each sheet.

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca!epd!mun-waste!regs!mwr!guidance!reg-msd.htm#4

1. Technical Information Summary Sheet

The Technical Information Summary Sheet (summary sheet) must be submitted with the registration package.

The purpose of the summary sheet is to satisfy Section 12 of the MWR and to provide ministry staff and facility

owners with a quick reference to key registration information. The summary sheet will also allow ministry staff

to conduct compliance activities with greater efficiency.

The summary sheet is also a valuable reference tool for wastewater treatment facility owners and operators.

2. Certification by Qualified Professionals Sheet

The Certification by Qualified Professionals Sheet (signoff sheet) must be submitted with the registration

package.

The purpose of the signoff sheet is to satisfy Section 15 of the MWR and to provide a consistent template for

professionals to use.

The intent of the signoff sheet is to provide assurance to the regulator that the design of the facility and

associated documentation meets the requirements of the regulation or requirements imposed by the director.

The signoff sheet does not replace any other professional signoff that would normally be required for individual

documents, such as design drawings or environmental impact studies.

Thanks,

Jeannette

MOE EPD - Review Notes on Municipal Wastewater Regulation Registration Applications for KSM concurrent permitting

Prepared: July 31, 2013 by Jeannette Lough

Five registration applications for the Municipal Wastewater Regulation were submitted by the client. Three of the applications correspond to individual camp sites, while the remaining two applications each consist of two neighbouring camps with some shared infrastructure.

Substitutions were requested for two of the five applications - Mitchell Initial & Secondary Camps and Mitchell Operating Camp. The rationale provided for an allowance of total phosphorous to exceed the recommended limit in the MWR is sound and acceptable to the director.

Two of the camps have applied for Reclaimed Water Use - Mitchell Initial & Secondary Camps and Treaty plant Construction & Operating Camp. Please ensure that you include proof that the local Medical Health Officer was notified of or has authorized the use of reclaimed water when submitting your final application. It is assumed that you will be providing more detailed information regarding the temporary/emergency storage basins for reclaimed water (ie -location, size, design, etc.)

Some general comments for all 5 applications:

• Ensure that a copy of design drawings for each wastewater facility, including the discharge works are signed and stamped by a qualified professional and submitted with final application. Include specifications for all outfalls (refer to sec. 99 of the MWR) and be sure to contact proper authorities for works in and about a stream.

• We look forward to receiving more detailed analysis around the Initial Dilution Zone for each discharge location prior to submitting your final applications.

• Site plans showing the receiving environment monitoring sites in relation to the layout of the wastewater facilities must be submitted with final applications ..

• Provide a completed Technical Information Summary Sheet for each facility (see attached form).

• Provide proof of certification for the treatment plant operator(s) with final applications

• For those facilities that will be discharging greater than 100 m3/day to water please be reminded that the new federal wastewater regulation applies.

• I highly recommend that you have sludge disposal options in place prior to commissioning of the facilities (ie permits applied for or plans confirmed for disposing to a permitted site).

• The MWR definition for BODS is "the carbonaceous 5-day biochemical oxygen demand". Please be sure to request CBOD when submitting samples to the lab. Also please note that fecal coliforms are measured in MPN with respect to MWR requirements.

Some specific comments for Treaty Saddle Camp:

.. • Appears to be a typo in the operating plan Executive Summary pg ii - reference is made to

discharge to Ground and I believe it should be discharge to water.

As per our discussion this morning, I'm developing a template for the public advertising requirements for the batch 1 applications, and I need your assistance.

The requirements for the lands, forestry and mines authorizations are straight forward, the EMA ad requires much more detail. Can you please fill out the template (link below) and I will try and merge the info into the existing template I've started for the lands, mines and forestry auth's. If the ad becomes too large we may require the EMA ad to be posted separately.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The screening level comments for the Batch 1 Permit Applications are now due by the end of business day Friday October 25th

, 2013. For the screening level comments we are looking for input on whether there are any additional information requirements in order for the Mine Review Committee to conduct their review.

Please forward your Screening Level comments onto Project Manger [email protected] and to myself.

Bruce and I would like to provide you an update on the KSM Project with regards to our on-going discussions with the MTT tunnel and mineral claim owners American Creek and Teuton Resources. Bruce Scott, who you met at our last meeting July 8th, has some more questions about the generic and specific clauses that would likely be presented in a licence offer to Seabridge, perhaps we could review a draft of the MTT licence?

He is available in the morning -10:30 for a meeting. Would you please let us know if you are available.

Good afternoon,

1 FNR-2013-00423 Page 254FNR-2013-00423 Page 254

It has come to the attention of the Major Projects Office that the capacity of technical experts is being tied up in the Environmental Assessment Review and there is a need for more time to provide screening level comments on the Batch 1 Permit Applications.

The screening level comments for the Batch 1 Permit Applications are now due by the end of business day Friday October 25th, 2013. For the screening level comments we, are looking for input on whether there are any additional information requirements in order for the Mine Review Committee to conduct their review.

Hi Genevieve, Missing from the tracking table are the responses from Sea bridge to the MOE- Environmental Protection Division Air and Effluent comments (document attached). There are two documents with four pieces of information to respond to the MOE-EPD comments:

1) attached cover letter and table of responses to screening comments (.pdf pages 1-7); 2) The KSM Domestic and Industrial Waste. Management Plan (.pdf pages 8-22); 3) The Revised Air Emissions EMA Application form (pages 23-36); 4} The Air Emissions EMA Technical Assessment Report (the document you have uploaded to the sharepoint).

All four form the whole response to the comments.

I am also wondering if you have a tracking table where each comment is tracked, as opposed to each submission?

Thanks Jessy

MOE EPD - Review Notes on Air Permit Applications for KSM Concurrent Permitting

Authorization #s’: 106826, 106827, 106829, 106832, and 106833

Prepared: Aug 8, 2013 by Regan Fielding

General Permitting Approach for Air Emissions:

Five applications for air permits were submitted by the client. Three of the applications correspond to individual camp sites, while the remaining two applications each consist of two neighboring camps with some shared infrastructure. The applications are very similar in content.

As an alternative to the above approach, MOE EPD recognizes that all camp air emissions could be authorized under one permit. For this approach, the information presented under the five separate applications would need to be consolidated. Annual discharge fees would be determined from the sum of the discharges between the seven camps. This approach would reduce the number of application fees ($200/application) and annual base fees ($100/permit) charged to the client. Once the construction camps are no longer required, a minor permit amendment would be required to reduce the authorized discharge quantity and associated discharge fees.

Alternatively, camp air emissions could also be authorized under two permits. One permit would authorize emissions from the construction camps, while the other would authorize the emissions from the operating camps. Once the construction camps are no longer required, then the air permit for the construction camps would be cancelled.

I recommend that the client revise their permit application approach for air emissions and seek authorization under one permit.

Open Burning of Clean Wood Waste:

Open burning of clean wood waste is not identified in the air permit applications. MOE requires confirmation that there is no intention to open burn clean wood waste, as this activity requires MOE authorization. Typically, authorization to conduct open burning of clean wood waste forms a component of the air permit. Please note that the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation only applies to land clearing debris and does not allow for open burning of lumber scraps or other clean burning combustible materials. If the intention is to open burn clean wood waste from construction activities, then the TAR and application should contain appropriate information including but not limited to estimated monthly volumes of waste to be open burned (maximum and average volumes), description of burn and ash disposal locations, and description of waste to be open burned.

Generators:

Current approach of MOE EPD is that the production of electricity by the combustion of fuel, where the rated electrical production is less than 5 MW under peak load, does not require an authorization.

.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 267

The largest camp (Construction Camp #5 combined with Treaty Operating Camp), has a proposed electrical production capacity of 1.635 MW from diesel fired generators. Consequently, in accordance with the approach above, emissions from electrical generation at this camp do not require MOE authorization. Similarly, as other construction and operating camps also have proposed electrical production capacity that is significantly less than 5MW under peak load, the air emissions from electrical generation do not require MOE authorization.

Incinerators:

I have no major concerns with the incinerator component of the applications as the client is proposing to use reputable incinerators which should emit relatively good quality emissions provided that only appropriate materials are incinerated. However, the following comments identify areas where additional information is required, or areas that may require revision.

Source of waste:

1.1 Language needs to clearly state that incinerators will be solely used to incinerate putrescible food waste (including food contaminated packaging), paper, cardboard and clean wood waste. No wastes as defined by the Hazardous Waste Regulation shall be disposed of in the refuse incinerator. Burning of plastics will be minimized through waste reduction and recycling programs.

Proposed Treatment of Waste:

2.1 Waste Segregation - Waste segregation needs to occur at the source, using properly identified waste receptacles, to ensure that inappropriate wastes are not incinerated. Staff training will help ensure proper segregation of wastes at source. Bear proof containers should be used for temporary day storage of putrescible waste.

2.2 Description of incineration process – The incineration treatment process specific to the proposed incinerator should be described. Please present minimum operating temperatures for the primary and secondary chambers, and the secondary chamber minimum residence time.

2.3 Ash disposal – How does the proposed timeline for landfill construction relate to start of incinerator operations? If a there is a significant disparity between the two, then interim disposal locations should be identified. Incinerator ash is routinely disposed of at an open burning location along with the ash produced from open burning of clean wood waste. Prior to disposal of ash to ground, the ash should be stored in sealed containers within the fenced incinerator area.

2.4 Incinerator operation and tracking – Incinerator should only be operated by trained system operator. The operator is responsible to ensures that inappropriate waste is not incinerated and that the equipment is properly operated and maintained to avoid causing poor quality air emissions. Tracking of incinerator operation is required.

FNR-2013-00423 Page 268

Quantity of Waste Discharged:

3.1 Waste generation estimate – The estimate of 2.75 to 4.5 kg seems high and I believe the source reference provided for this information is not accurate. Applications for similar camp facilities have used a waste generation estimate of 2kg of waste/person/day that takes into account recyclables, and other materials not suitable for incineration. Please provide information to support the estimate and provide a single value for the estimate rather than a range of values. Please state the daily maximum weight of waste to be incinerated and the corresponding number of incinerator batches required based on full capacity at the camps. The required number of incinerators should be based on maximum camp capacity, estimated waste generation rates, incinerator batch capacity, and the duration of a typical incinerator batch cycle for a full load of putrescible food waste. The following link provides EPA published waste generation rates for the United States. http://www.epa.gov/osw/nonhaz/municipal/pubs/msw_2010_rev_factsheet.pdf The applications for Camps #9/#10 and Camp #5/Treaty Operating Camp were the only applications that presented estimates for daily waste generation. However, estimates provided (see Table 3) were based on an unsubstantiated waste generation estimate of 3.38 kg/person/day provided as a table footnote (refer to 1st paragraph in point 3.1 above).

3.2 Batch capacity and cycle times - Please clarify what the capacity of incinerator CA-600 is (inconsistently presented as 272 kg/batch in the technical memo and 341 kg/batch in appended fact sheet). Also, I have concerns that the estimated total cycle time (5 hours) is low and does not reflect that putrescible food waste has a high moisture content and may require a longer burn cycle. Appropriate heat-up and cool-down periods should also be accounted for. The appended information on livestock incineration shows that for the six test cases the primary burner was on for a minimum of 5 hours plus additional time for heat-up/cool-down, and loading/unloading.

Operating Period:

4.1 The operating period is 24 hours/day, 365 days/year.

Discharge Works:

5.1 Estimated Rate of Discharge for Incinerator (Table 2-4 or Table 2-3 depending on application) – The numbers presented under “Frequency” show an inconsistent relationship between camp size and the number of incineration cycles required per day. For example, based on the CA-600 incinerator, for the Mitchell operating camp (350 people), 4 to 6 incineration cycles/day is estimated. In contrast, for the Camps #9 & #10 (540 people), only 3 to 4 incineration cycles were

FNR-2013-00423 Page 269

estimated despite the need to incinerate over 50% more waste daily. Please review and revise accordingly. The frequency should state a single value that is based on maximum camp capacity, incinerator batch capacity and the estimated putrescible waste generation rate (See 3.1 above). Based on the presented incinerator cycle duration of 5 hours, only 4.8 incineration cycles can be performed per day. In contrast up to 6 cycles per day are estimated for Camp #5 and Mitchell Operating Camp, which would require the operation of two incinerators based on current estimates. The table footnote a) on the TARs for Camp #5/ Treaty Operating Plant, and Mitchell Operating Plant states that the frequency numbers are based on a theoretical maximum, that can be reduced through more intense recycling programs. In contrast, MOE’s prefers that a comprehensive recycling program be developed for site and that the estimated waste generation rates for incineration are reflective of the amount of waste diverted from incineration through recycling and alternate disposal. See point 3.1 above.

Additional Notes:

• TAR Memo - Camps #9 and #10 application– Incinerator section – The estimates presented for average number of camp occupants (270 people), are not required for the incinerator application and should be removed (Tables 2.3 and 2.5).

• TAR Memo – Estimated Daily Emissions from Camp (Table 2-4 or 2-5) – Table footnote does not reflect specifics of individual applications (same footnote on the 5 applications).

• TAR Memo - Camp #4, Camp #5/Treaty Operating, and Camp #6 applications – Incinerator - Proposed Treatment of Waste section – Mass fraction (% w/w) is typically used to describe the composition of a mixture, and does not seem suitable for describing the mass change resulting from incineration.
