Available online at: http://www.aceeco.org/vol1/iss3/art1/. Accessed October 23, 2009. Request Volume 1, Question 380, Page 14-23. The SIR refers to analogues with the natural environment. The landforms planned, including terraces, for the closure landscape, do not appear to reflect landforms found in pre-development landscape. 51a Discuss landscape design options that would more closely mimic the natural environment. Response 51a Terraces are designed into the construction of landforms created above natural topography (e.g., overburden dump areas, dyke walls) for a number of reasons, such as: • Access for vehicles during construction, reclamation and monitoring • Allowing access for progressive reclamation, as structures are designed in lifts from the outside to the inside, therefore making outside lifts complete and accessible for reclamation purposes before the entire structure is necessarily complete April 2010 Shell Canada Limited 13-13 CR029
TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 Question No. 52 Section 13.1 • Stability of sloped areas, as terraced areas provide an opportunity to slow water flow downslope and therefore retain as much soil moisture as possible. Ecosites requiring moist soil conditions have therefore been located in terraced areas in the Closure, Conservation and Reclamation Plan for the Pierre River Mine Shell will design terraces to closely mimic natural landforms present in the region, although not necessarily those landforms in the pre-development landscape of the mine footprint. Natural landforms that are similar in structure include benches on escarpment wall areas and river floodplains. Structures will be designed to minimize ponding, concentrated runoff and erosion. Landform design principles are also being applied to the consideration of how to construct slopes on landforms above original topography without including terraced areas, although issues of overall footprint (greater area may be required to provide shallower slopes) and slope stability for drainage courses (e.g., path length for drainage channels from top of slope to perimeter drainage systems at the toe) are still in the design test process. Request Volume 2, SIR 7, Page 15-1 ; Volume 2, SIR 20b, Page 15-13. Shell states in the EIA The combined EIA for the Jackpine Mine Expansion and the new Pierre River mine concluded that there would be no unacceptable environmental or socio-economic effects from the projects provided that the proposed mitigation and monitoring are undertaken. The original SIRs were asking how Shell had determined ‘acceptability’. The answer provided a discussion of consequence ratings. 52a Provide the criteria Shell used to determine whether an environmental or social consequence rating was ‘acceptable’ or ‘unacceptable’. Response 52a Shell worked with its EIA consultants, and is engaged in ongoing consultation with its stakeholders, to understand the potential environmental and socioeconomic effects of the proposed project. In an iterative manner, the project design evolved to minimize potential effects. The result is a project where the majority of the impacts are of primarily low or negligible consequence, and a limited number of impacts of higher consequence. The conclusions and predictions contained in the EIA are based on environmental consequence ratings, which are based on the criteria outlined by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and include direction, magnitude, geographic extent, duration, reversibility and frequency. All of these ratings are described in the EIA, Volumes 3, 4 and 5. In addition, as part of the May 2009 Pierre River Mine, Supplemental Information, Volume 2, Appendix B, Shell provided an Environmental Significance Assessment. 13-14 Shell Canada Limited April 2010 CR029
