6 June 17, 2016 Mr. Jason Parise SWEB Development Inc Young Street, Suite 106 Halifax, NS B3K 5L2 Your file Riverside - Albert Met Tower Our file RE: Wind Structures: Meteorological Tower - Long Term (2+ years) - Riverside - Albert, NB (N W / AGL / AMSL) Mr. Parise, We have evaluated the captioned proposal and NAV CANADA has no objection to the project as submitted. However, due to geographical location, potential wind turbines in this area have an increased probability of being visible by the Moncton Radar. Only with having detailed information on proposed turbine quantity, locations, heights, blade widths, materials used, will we be able to conduct an engineering study and provide a more definitive answer. While this proposed wind structure is acceptable, it does not constitute NAV CANADA s approval for any other structure at this location such as a wind turbine. The nature and magnitude of electronic interference to NAV CANADA ground-based navigation aids, including RADAR, due to wind turbines depends on the location, configuration, number, and size of turbines; all turbines must be considered together for analysis. The interference of wind turbines to certain navigation aids is cumulative and while initial turbines may be approved, continued development may not always be possible. In the interest of aviation safety, it is incumbent on NAV CANADA to maintain up-to-date aeronautical publications. To assist us in that end, we ask that you notify us upon completion of construction and upon removal. These notification requirements can be satisfactorily met by returning completed, signed copies of the attached forms by at landuse@navcanada.ca or fax at In the event that you should decide not to proceed with this project or if the structure is dismantled, please advise us accordingly so that we may formally close the file. If you have any questions, contact the Land Use Department by telephone at or at landuse@navcanada.ca. NAV CANADA's land use evaluation is valid for a period of 12 months. Our assessment is limited to the impact of the proposed physical structure on the air navigation system and installations; it neither constitutes nor replaces any approvals or permits required by Transport Canada, Industry Canada, other Federal Government departments, Provincial or Municipal land use authorities or any other agency from which approval is required. Industry Canada addresses any spectrum management issues that may arise from your proposal and consults with NAV CANADA engineering as deemed necessary.

Our preliminary assessment of the information provided to us via on October 6, 2016 indicates that any potential interference that may be created by the Albert wind farm, located west of the town of Riverside-Albert in the County of Albert, New Brunswick will not be severe. Although we would prefer our radar view to be interference free, this is not always reasonable. As a consequence, we do not have strong objections to the current proposal. If your plans are modified in any manner (e.g. number of turbines, height, placement or materials) this analysis would no longer be valid. An updated analysis must be conducted. Please contact us at: ec.radarsmeteo-weatherradars.ec@canada.ca Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and we wish you success.
