5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (Alderon) is proposing to develop the Kami Iron Ore Mine (the Kami Mine) in Western Labrador, and build a Concentrate Storage and Load-out Facility (the Kami Terminal) at the Port of Sept-Îles, Québec. As a whole, the Kami Iron Ore Project (the Project) will produce up to 16 million metric tonnes of iron ore concentrate per year. Concentrate will be transported by existing rail to the Port of Sept-Îles, where the Kami Terminal will be located on land within the jurisdiction of the Port Authority of Sept-Îles. Federal approvals will be required, which trigger the requirement for a federal environmental assessment (EA) under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), at the comprehensive study level. The Project was registered in accordance with CEAA in October Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) was retained to complete a Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries Baseline Study in order to satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Assessment (EA) as outlined in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines produced by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEA Agency) and the Newfoundland- Labrador Department of Environment and Conservation (DOEC) (April 20, 2012). The baseline study is being submitted in support of the federal environmental assessment. The two watercourses sampled within the Study Area the ruisseau à la Baleine and an unnamed stream were determined to have the inability to provide habitat that supports freshwater fish populations. The streams have multiple natural and man-made barriers to the movement of fish upstream, including: aggregate accumulated at the mouth of the streams; perched or blocked culverts under road and rail beds; steep vertical gradients along the upstream reaches of the watercourses; and, intermittent water flow along some portions of the streams. Fish community sampling was conducted in June 2012 within both watercourses. No fish were collected or observed in the ruisseau à la Baleine. A total of four individual threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were captured in the unnamed stream upstream of the culvert located closest to the stream s confluence with the baie des Sept-Îles. Threespine stickleback can be found in both freshwater and marine environments and are not considered strictly freshwater fish (Scott and Crossman 1973). It is likely that the four individuals recorded in the unnamed stream have been isolated because of a blocked (culvert) i August 27, 2012

9 1.0 INTRODUCTION Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (Alderon) is proposing to develop an iron ore mine in western Labrador, and build associated infrastructure at the Port of Sept-Îles, Québec. The mine Property is located approximately 6 km south from the Wabush Mines mining lease owned by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (Cliffs) and in the vicinity of the towns of Wabush, Labrador City, and Fermont. The Kami Iron Ore Mine is located entirely within Labrador, and includes construction, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning and rehabilitation of an open pit, waste rock disposal areas, processing infrastructure, a tailings management facility (TMF), ancillary infrastructure to support the mine and process plant, and a rail transportation component. The mine will produce up to 16 million metric tonnes of iron ore concentrate per year. Concentrate will be transported by existing rail to Kami Iron Ore Concentrate Storage and Load-out Facility (the Kami Terminal) at the Port of Sept-Îles, where Kami Terminal-related components will be located on land within the jurisdiction of the Port Authority of Sept-Îles. No Kami Terminal activities are proposed within the marine environment. The Kami Terminal general location is indicated on Figure 1.1. Federal approvals will be required, which trigger the requirement for a federal environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), at the comprehensive study level. The Kami Terminal was registered in accordance with the CEAA in October This Baseline Study Report is being submitted in support of the federal environmental assessment. 1.1 Overview of the Kami Terminal The Kami Terminal is located on Port Authority lands and will provide the required infrastructure to transport and store iron ore concentrate (up to 16 million tonnes per year) prior to shipping the product to market. The concentrate will first be transported from the proposed Kami Iron Ore Mine in Western Labrador by the existing Québec North Shore and Labrador (QNS&L) and Chemin de fer Arnaud (CFA) railways to the Port of Sept-Îles, where it will be stored for a short time prior to shipping. Concentrate will be stored in a live stockpile managed by a stackerreclaimer unit. The volume of concentrate stored at any one time will depend on the rail delivery schedule from the mine and the vessel loading schedule. Alderon s proposed Pointe-Noire Terminal facility in Sept-Îles, Québec will include: A Concentrate Unloading, Stacking, Storage and Reclaiming Facility Associated Rail Infrastructure (Rail Loop) August 27, 2012

13 2.0 RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The main objective of the Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries Baseline Study was to determine if the watercourses within the Local Study Area (LSA) provide habitat for freshwater fish species. Section 2(1) of the revised Fisheries Act defines fish habitat as spawning grounds and any other areas, including nursery, rearing, food supply and migration areas, on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes. The rationale for determining if these two watercourses provide fish habitat is to evaluate whether the proposed operations of the Kami Terminal will be considered an activity that contravenes Section 35 (1) of the Fisheries Act. Section 35 (1) states that no person shall carry on any work, undertaking or activity that results in the harmful alteration or disruption, or the destruction, of fish habitat. The specific objectives of the Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries Baseline Study are to: Map and assess the physical fish habitat value of the Local Study Area watercourses, including: o Fish passage potential; o Characterization of substrate; o Availability of in-stream and riparian cover; o Water depth and temperature; and, o Permanency of water flow. Determine fish presence in the LSA watercourses August 27, 2012

14 3.0 STUDY AREA 3.1 Overview of Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat and Fisheries Baseline Study Area This baseline report presents the results of the Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat and Fisheries Baseline Study for the Kami Terminal. The study comprises the assessment of current conditions for fish and fish habitat in the two watercourses that may be directly or indirectly affected by Kami Terminal development. Results of surface water quality sampling conducted as part of the assessment are presented in the Water Resources Baseline Study in Appendix H of the Kami Concentrate Storage and Load-out Facility, Québec Environmental Impact Statement (2012). Freshwater fish and fish habitat means freshwater fish species and the habitat upon which they depend. In accordance with Section 2(1) of the revised Fisheries Act, fish habitat is defined as spawning grounds and any other areas, including nursery, rearing, food supply and migration areas, on which fish depend directly or indirectly in order to carry out their life processes. Fisheries are defined as the commercial, recreational, Aboriginal and subsistence fisheries which have the potential to be affected by the Kami Terminal. The LSA for the Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries Baseline Study includes all areas where potential direct Kami Terminal-related environmental effects are measureable to some degree of confidence. It includes the Project Development Area (PDA) and associated surrounding area where environmental effects may reasonably be expected to occur; which corresponds to the anse à la Baleine sub-watersheds (Figure 1.2). Watercourses within the LSA consist of an unnamed stream to the west and ruisseau à la Baleine, which passes through the eastern end of the PDA. Each of these watercourses flows north and discharges into the baie des Sept-Îles August 27, 2012

16 4.0 METHODS 4.1 Description of the Survey Area The Pointe-Noire area of Sept-Îles is located on Marconi Peninsula, which extends into the baie des Sept-Îles. This area is the site of various mineral extraction and processing operations concentrated along the shoreline of the baie des Sept-Îles along with two port facilities that transport resources from mining operations and local industries. There are several large disturbed areas that have been created due to mineral extraction and processing operations or to facilitate them, such as rail yards and transmission line corridors. Most of these disturbances occur north of the chemin de la Pointe-Noire. The remainder of this region is undisturbed and exhibits typical boreal forest conditions with thick forest cover and rough terrain. The origins of the ruisseau à la Baleine and the unnamed stream are located in the undisturbed, hilly section of Pointe-Noire south of the chemin de la Pointe-Noire. The lower sections of both watercourses traverse through the disturbed, mining areas before they reach their confluence at the baie des Sept-Îles. 4.2 Pre-Survey Planning In order to conduct fisheries sampling for scientific purposes in the Province of Québec a wildlife management permit is required from the Québec ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune (MRNF). A Permis de Gestion de la Faune was issued to conduct fisheries sampling of the ruisseau à la Baleine and the unnamed stream. The permit number and specifics of the permit have been appended to this document (Appendix A). Prior to entering the survey area, available background data and maps were consulted to devise a plan best suited to complete the required fish and fish habitat assessments efficiently and safely. Despite the best planning efforts and preparation it was assumed that improvising would be necessary once on site. Due to the location of the survey area and nature of the surrounding topography it was essential that all health and safety equipment and survey gear was tested to ensure it was in accurate working order. 4.3 Field Methods Field surveys for fish and fish habitat were completed within the ruisseau à la Baleine and the unnamed stream on June 11 and 12, Characterizing fish habitat was completed by traversing along each watercourse from its confluence at the baie des Sept-Îles southward until a defined channel was no longer observed. Channel structure, in-stream cover, riparian vegetation, and substrate types were recorded in several locations for each watercourse. These locations coincided with the surface water sampling locations August 27, 2012

17 The fish community survey was conducted using a Smith-Root LR-20B electrofishing backpack unit in sections of the watercourses that were relatively flat and accessible with the electrofishing unit and associated equipment. Other sections of the watercourses with a steep, unstable slope were not surveyed for safety reasons. It was also determined that they were inaccessible to fish based on the presence of several barriers to fish passage observed downstream during the fish habitat assessment surveys. All fish observed were identified to species in the field. 4.4 Data Analysis Data analysis was not a critical component for the freshwater fish and fish habitat assessment surveys. This baseline study revolved around the presence or absence of habitat, fish passage barriers, and fish species based primarily on visual observations. Data analysis for water quality and surface water hydrology is presented in the Water Resources Baseline Study in the Kami Concentrate Storage and Load-out Facility, Québec Environmental Impact Statement (2012), Appendix H. 4.5 Quality Assurance / Quality Control Procedures Critical elements of Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) include planning, organization, communication, execution of work, and reviewing completed work. From the planning stages to report completion, the Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries Baseline Study followed standard operating procedures, safe work practices, senior review before start of field work, project monitoring by senior staff, and senior review of deliverables. Water chemistry, specifically conductivity, is a limiting factor to the efficiency and success of the electrofishing unit and well-being of the fish when conducting fisheries surveys. Settings were adjusted on the electrofishing unit during the survey efforts based on the reaction and recovery of the fish captured. It is essential that the settings on the electrofishing unit enable fish to be captured effectively, but also allow the fish to recover within seconds. The Smith-Root LR-20B electrofishing unit is equipped with various safety features that are routinely checked prior to each use in the field. The standard safety checks that are employed are the tilt feature, water immersion sensor, and power output audio along with the top mounted flashing light. Other safety equipment that the user employs are polarized glasses, rubber gloves, and chest waders August 27, 2012

18 5.0 STUDY OUTPUTS 5.1 Ruisseau à la Baleine Ruisseau à la Baleine is an intermittent watercourse fed by runoff waters from the upstream surrounding areas and flowing northward approximately 1.25 km into baie des Sept-Îles in the eastern section of the anse à Brochu. Ruisseau à la Baleine is crossed by several access roads and a rail line, and has been altered by development in the downstream sections. To describe the fish habitat characteristics of ruisseau à la Baleine, the watercourse is divided into three sections: Section 1 is the downstream section from the chemin de la Pointe-Noire to baie des Sept-Îles, approximately 250 m in length; Section 2 is the midsection from the proposed southern rail loop, where the stream shifts from a more natural watercourse to an altered watercourse, to the chemin de la Pointe- Noire, approximately 150 m in length; and, Section 3 is the upstream section from its origin to Section Barriers Section 1 has been covered with boulder and cobble and directed through a culvert passing under the chemin de la Pointe-Noire (Photo 4.1). This section of the watercourse was determined to act as a barrier to fish passage from the bay to upstream sections due to the difference in elevation (approximately 10 m) between the upstream and downstream openings of the culvert.

19 In Section 2, approximately 100 m upstream of the culvert passing under the chemin de la Pointe-Noire, natural bedrock outcrops create barriers to upstream fish movement. A perched culvert (Photo 4.2) at an access road to an aggregate operation also creates a barrier to fish passage upstream. Photo 5.2 Downstream Outlet of Perched Culvert Creating a Fish Passage Barrier in Ruisseau à la Baleine. In Section 3 the watercourse winds down the steep slope of the existing topography (Photo 4.3). This topography creates a natural barrier to fish passage. Photo 5.3 Downstream Outlet of Perched Culvert Creating a Fish Passage Barrier in Ruisseau à la Baleine August 27, 2012

20 Y In-stream Habitat Section 1 of the ruisseau à la Baleine is entirely enclosed in a culvert that drops approximately 10 m in elevation over a distance of approximately 250 m. Section 2 of the ruisseau à la Baleine extends throughh an aggregate operation. There is little riparian vegetation in this section (Photo 4.4). The substrate is composed of fines, mainly sand and gravel with unstable banks, and little or no in-stream vegetation or cover. Water depth was approximately 15 cm during the field survey. Photo 5..4 Typical Instream Conditions of Sectionn 2 of Ruisseau à la Baleine.

However, this Photo 5..5 Typical Instream Conditions in Sectionn 3 of Ruisseau à la Baleine August 27, 2012

21 5.1.3 Fish Sampling Due to Section 1 of the watercourse being completely enclosed in a culvert and the steep topography of Section 3, fish sampling was carried out in Section 2 of the watercourse, adjacent to the aggregate operations. The amount of water in this section did not allow for the use of minnow traps or seine nets, therefore the backpack electrofishing unit was employed in order to survey all habitats within the watercourse. No fish were observed or captured during this survey. 5.2 Unnamed Stream The unnamed stream is an intermittent watercourse fed by runoff waters from the upstream surrounding areas and flowing northward into baie des Sept-Îles in the western section of anse à Brochu. The unnamed stream is crossed by several access roads and a rail line, and has been altered by development in the downstream sections. To describe the fish habitat characteristics of the unnamed stream, the watercourse is divided into four sections: Section 1 is the downstream section that discharges to baie des Sept-Îles, approximately 100 m in length; Section 2 is the midsection where the two upstream branches converge at the northern rail loop, approximately 150 m in length; The East Arm is the eastern upstream branch from its origin to Section 2; and, The West Arm is the western upstream branch from its origin to Section Barriers Similar to the ruisseau à la Baleine, Section 1 of the unnamed stream has been covered with boulders and cobbles and directed through a culvert (Photo 4.6). Water was observed immediately upstream of the culvert entrance but flow was not observed coming out of the downstream culvert discharge point, suggesting that the water flow is blocked within the culvert. This section of the watercourse was determined to be a barrier to fish passage from the bay to upstream sections due to the difference in elevation (approximately 10 m) between the upstream and downstream openings of the culvert, and apparent blocking in the culvert August 27, 2012

22 Y Photo 5..6 Upstream Opening to Culvert Throughh Section 1 of the Unnamed Stream The west arm of the unnamed stream is considered to be a natural barrier due to the steep topography and areas of bedrock outcrops. The east arm passes through a culvert under the existing rail line that is inaccessible to fish due to thee approximate 2 m elevation difference between the outlet of the culvert and the streambed. It was determined that fish are not able to travel upstream into these two sections Characteriz zing In-stream Habitat Section 2 of the unnamed stream meanders through a small sedge meadow with little canopy cover (Photo 4.7). Riparian vegetation is present along both banks of the stream in this section. The substrate of this section is mainly fines, sand andd gravel, with little in-stream cover and vegetation. In no section of the unnamed stream does water depth exceed 20 cm. Photo 5..7 Typical Instream Conditions in Sectionn 2 of the Unnamed Stream August 27, 2012

23 The west and east arms of the unnamed stream both have similar habitat to Section 3 of the ruisseau à la Baleine with 100 percent canopy cover, cobble and boulder substrate, in-stream vegetation, and cover. However, these arms are inaccessible to fish due to the steep topography, and the perched culvert in the east arm Fish Sampling Due to Section 1 of the watercourse being completely enclosed in a culvert and the steep topography of the east and west arms, fish sampling was carried out in Section 2 of the watercourse between the downstream culvert (Section 1) and the split of the west and east arms. The amount of water in this section did not allow for the use of minnow traps or seine nets, therefore the backpack electrofishing unit was employed in order to survey all habitats within the watercourse. A total of four individual fish were captured in Section 2 of the unnamed stream. All fish captured were threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), a species that lives in both freshwater and marine habitats (Scott and Crossman 1973). One of the individuals captured was a male in breeding colouration, suggesting that this species is reproducing in this section of the watercourse. 5.3 Fisheries As stated in Section 1.2, fisheries are defined as the commercial, recreational, Aboriginal and subsistence fisheries which have the potential to be affected by the Kami Terminal. The waterbodies identified in the LSA consist of two freshwater watercourses, described previously. The two watercourses in the LSA do not support support fish species that are utilized in commercial, recreational, Aboriginal and subsistence fisheries. 5.4 Summary Two freshwater streams are located in the LSA: the ruisseau à la Baleine and an unnamed stream located west flowing in anse à Brochu. Neither of these streams provide habitat that supports freshwater fish populations. Both streams have barriers to upstream fish passage (i.e., culverts at the mouth of the stream, perched culverts in mid-sections and the upstream reaches of both watercourses are steep and intermittent. Fish community sampling was conducted in June, No fish were collected or observed in the ruisseau à la Baleine. A total of four individual threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) were captured in the unnamed stream upstream of the culvert. Threespine stickleback can be found in both freshwater and marine environments and are not strictly freshwater fish. It is likely that the four individuals recorded in the unnamed stream have been isolated because of the existing barrier at the mouth of the stream. Based on the existing conditions described above, Freshwater Fish, Fish Habitat, and Fisheries do not occur in the LSA August 27, 2012
