17 17
18 18 Mine Site - Landforms Permafrost design considerations for construction of infrastructure Standard strategies in design of waste rock stockpiles and stormwater ponds (avoidance of thaw sensitive soils, maintain drainage, insulate from permafrost, etc.) Questions from NRCan regarding maintaining frozen conditions in the waste rock pile addressed in the Waste Rock Management Plan
19 19 Mine Site Atmospheric Environment Emissions from the power plant, mobile equipment and incinerators will follow best practices and meet guidelines Dust control measures Use best management practices Enclosure of primary crusher Enclosed conveyors and transfer points Minimize drop distances at open discharge points Air and noise modelling in FEIS Meets established thresholds for occupational health and air quality Is highly conservative
20 20 Mine Site Water Quality Water quality is regulated by: Metal Mining Effluent Regulations Type A Water Licence The Project (including ARD potential) is not expected to have a significant impact on water quality during operations and closure
21 21 Mine Site Water Management No process water or tailings pond discharges Runoff from ore and waste rock piles will be directed to sedimentation ponds Discharges will meet established effluent criteria under MMER and Water Licence Work to date indicates water treatment will not be required On-going waste characterization and monitoring program established Contingency treatment plant would be installed, if necessary
22 Mine Site Water Management 22
23 23 Mine Site ARD/ML assessment Acid Rock Drainage and Metal Leaching (ARD/ML) Assessment Considerable work completed to date and ongoing Waste characterisation study: ongoing for life of mine A small proportion of the waste rock (15%) has been classified as potentially acid generating (PAG) Ongoing kinetic testing of PAG has not created acidic conditions to date Waste Rock Management Plan, to be approved as part of the Water Licence, includes provisions to manage PAG to limit impacts to water quality
24 24 Mine Site Fish Habitat An accounting of the proposed Harmful Alteration, Disruption and Destruction (HADD) of Fish Habitat presented in the FEIS Ongoing discussions with DFO on the HADD and on potential fish compensation measures Expected to continue into permitting phase (Fisheries Authorization)
25 Railway 25
26 26 Railway Key facts 149 km of railway track 4 train sets with 2 locomotives and 110 cars each Average speed 30 to 40 km/hr 6 round trips per day
27 27 Federally regulated Railway - Regulatory Certificate of Fitness (Canadian Transportation Agency) Authorization to Construct and Operate the Railway (Article 98, Canadian Transportation Act Transport Canada)
28 28 Railway Factors Considered for Alternatives Terrain Topography Distance Environmental considerations
29 Railway Alternative Routes 29
30 Railway-Design and Construction 30 Based on design of other arctic railways (e.g., Russia, Sweden, Tibet) Minimize thawing of sensitive soils Minimize cuts into soils (increased fill instead) Minimize disturbance to natural drainage Maximize winter construction of embankment base Limited grades and avoiding tight curves Regular performance monitoring and maintenance Caribou and snowmobile crossing locations
31 Railway-Design and Construction 31
32 Railway-Operation 32
33 Railway-Operation 33
34 Railway Quarry Management 34 All quarries will be tested for ARD/ML Any proposed quarries with potential ARD will not be developed A quarry management and closure plan will be developed for each quarry (Quarry Permit Requirement)
35 35 Railway - Atmospheric Environment Emissions from the locomotives will meet regulatory standards Based on specific gravity and particle size of the ore, dust from rail cars is minimal and confined to first few km from Mary River This was also the experience from Baffinland s 2008 bulk sample, and at other iron ore mines Baffinland committed to monitoring dust emissions from rail cars near the mine site, early in the project
36 36 Railway Stream Crossings Features to promote fish passage incorporated into the design of stream crossings; will continue to discuss with DFO Monitoring of fish passage is proposed Closure plan for decommissioning watercourse crossings will be developed Will continue to address details with DFO in ongoing permitting discussions
37 Steensby Port 37
38 38 Steensby Port Key Facts Optimal conditions for a deep water port Rail car unloading Lump & fine ore stockpiles Ore and freight docks Ship loading facilities Bulk fuel tank farm Freight and fuel deliveries Airstrip Rail maintenance shop Worker accommodation
