1 Cargill North Vancouver Grain Terminal Power System Upgrade

2 Project Overview Construction of new 69kV/12.47kV indoor substation c/w environmental safeguards Construction of one new power distribution center (PDC) room and modifications to three existing PDC rooms in the existing plant to house 12.47kV/600V Unit Substations New cable feed to Ship Loader New cable feeds to plant s existing Motor Control Centres (MCC) from new Unit Substations Demolition of existing 69kV outdoor switchyard Slide 2 of 10

8 Benefits of Proposed Project Safe working environment for High Voltage operations Substation building structure designed to meet current seismic and building code guidelines Modern equipment designed to be more environmentally conscious (e.g. PCB-free vegetable-oil-insulated power transformers) Potential Impacts of Project Once completed, the new power system upgrade will have virtually no impacts on everyday life of the surrounding residential and industrial community No new noise or dust emissions from the plant. Minor area lighting added to the new substation building Improved efficiency due to reduced electrical losses 8

9 Potential Construction Impacts: Traffic will increase as equipment, concrete and building supplies are trucked in and later as rubble from the demolition is removed. We anticipate this increase will be approximately 5 to 10 trucks per day for the first 6 months, down to 1 to 2 trucks per day midway through the project and back to 5 to 10 trucks for the final 2 months of the project. Additional noise due to construction activities such as soil densification, concrete formwork and steel erection during normal working hours. It is expected that, combined with the Low Level Rd noise, the total estimated noise level at the point of the nearest neighbour will be 80.3 dba (adhering to City of North Vancouver Noise Control Bylaw 5819 for Construction Noise). Slide 9 of 10

10 Construction Impact Mitigation: Impacts from increased traffic will be mitigated in the following ways: Limiting movement of material and goods to major roadways in the immediate area of the plant (using Low Level Road, Cotton Road and Hwy #1) Limiting the time of material and goods transportation to the hours prior to 3PM (Monday to Friday) Construction will occur in accordance with the port authority s standard hours of construction: Monday to Friday: 7 am to 8 pm Saturday: 9 am to 7 pm No work on Sunday & Stat Holiday Slide 10 of 10
