PIERRE RIVER MINE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION PART 3: AENV SIRS – ROUND 2 Question No. 44 Request Volume 1, SIR 379b, Page 14-22. TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 Section 13.1 In the EIA Volume 5, Appendix 5-2, Section 1.6, Page 18, Shell states that reconstructed soil performance will mimic natural soils over time. In the Pierre River Mine SIR Response, Shell references personal communication with L. Leskiw in July 2008, discussing the development of an incipient LF horizon on some of Suncor’s older upland reclamation areas and juvenile profile development (LF horizons and discontinuous Ae horizons) on direct placement reclamation areas at Syncrude. 44a How old are the reclamation areas at Suncor and Syncrude where the juvenile profile development described above was found? Response 44a The reclamation areas discussed in the personal communication were between 20 and 30 years old. Request 44b What is the Land Capability Class for each of the juvenile profiles described above? Response 44b The land capability class was not discussed in the personal communication of July 2008. The research referred to in this personal communication is the Nutrient Biogeochemistry II project currently being conducted through CONRAD. The results of this study are not available for public disclosure. Request 44c What was the reconstructed profile of the juvenile soils described above? Response 44c The reconstructed profile was not discussed in the personal communication of July 2008. The research referred to in this personal communication is the Nutrient Biogeochemistry II project currently being conducted through CONRAD. The results of this study are not available for public disclosure. April 2010 Shell Canada Limited 13-1 CR029
TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 Section 13.1 Request 44d How do they compare to the reconstructed profiles described in the Closure, Conservation, and Reclamation Plan for the Pierre River Mining Area (EIA Volume 5, Appendix 5-2, Section 2.4.5, Page 61, and Figure 10, Page 63)? Response 44d Since the reconstructed profiles were not discussed in the personal communication of July 2008, Shell cannot compare the profiles in Figure 10 of the EIA. The research referred to in this personal communication is the Nutrient Biogeochemistry II project currently being conducted through CONRAD. The results of this study are not available for public disclosure. Request 44e Based on the age and Land Capability Class of these juvenile profiles and a comparison of reconstructed profiles, discuss Shell’s assumptions and knowledge that equivalent capability will be achieved within the 80 year timeframe discussed in the original EIA, using the reconstruction profiles proposed in the Closure, Conservation, and Reclamation Plan for the Pierre River Mining Area. Response 44e Considering the degree of profile development on direct placement, peat-mineral mix areas after only 20 to 30 years, it is reasonable to expect that soil profile development will continue to evolve to a soil profile typical of the region. Shell expects that equivalent land capability will be achieved for similar profiles within the 80-year time frame, as discussed in the EIA, as well as incorporating advances in soil salvage and handling approaches through adaptive management. Question No. 45 Request Volume 2, SIR 415, Page 21-31. This question was asked in the list of SIR 1 questions, but the reference provided (Shell EIA Update Report, Appendix II, Section 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, Table 20 and 21) was for the Jackpine Mine Expansion only. Shell states that they will answer the question in the Jackpine Mine Expansion Project Supplemental Information, but the question is applicable to both the Pierre River Mine and Jackpine Expansion Mine areas and, as such, requires an answer for the Pierre River Mine Project as well. The Pierre River Mine reference is: Volume 5, Appendix 5-2, Section 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, Table10 and 11. Tables 10 and 11 outline the criteria to be used for determining the suitability of salvageable upland surface soils and subsoil for reclamation purposes, but it is unclear how Shell will be applying these ratings to additional data collected during soil salvage operations, or if they will be relying on the data collected during the Soil and Terrain ESR. 45a Provide a response to SIR 415 in regards to Pierre River Mine. Response 45a Professional agrologists and pedologists from Paragon Consulting Ltd. and Shell Albian Sands carry out monitoring programs to sample soil quality for 13-2 Shell Canada Limited April 2010 CR029
