TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 References Section 13.1 There is a lack of peer-reviewed literature specifically regarding recommended buffer widths for wide-ranging wildlife species. However, findings from monitoring programs that have been implemented in the Oil Sands Region establish that wide-ranging wildlife species will use a 250 m-wide corridor. Although not from a peer reviewed source, these findings are real, relevant to the study area and important for evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed corridor. Winter track and remote camera corridor monitoring conducted for Shell’s Jackpine Mine – Phase 1 have documented that moose, wolves, black bears, fisher, marten, coyote and deer species were using habitat within existing corridors along the Muskeg and Athabasca rivers adjacent to active mines (Golder 2008). The setback distance along the Muskeg River varies from less than 100 m to more than 3 km, whereas the Athabasca River buffer is less than 1 km. Wildlife movements were monitored for three years along the east side of the Athabasca River for Suncor’s Millennium and Steepbank Mine projects, where the corridor width varies from about 1 km to less than 200 m. The results of these surveys showed that all wildlife species, including large carnivores and large ungulates, used the variable-width corridor (Golder 2000, 2001). Wildlife corridor monitoring was conducted using remote cameras during nonwinter months along the Athabasca and Steepbank rivers (Suncor 2004, 2005 and 2006). The Steepbank River buffer varies in size from 50 to 200 m, whereas the Athabasca River buffer zone is less than 1 km. Species detected along the Steepbank River escarpment included black bears and moose, while black bear, white-tailed deer, coyote, wolf, beaver, fisher marten and fox were recorded in the Athabasca River buffer zone. Due to the lack of peer-reviewed literature regarding appropriate corridor widths for larger wildlife species, it was determined that results from these studies were the best-available information for supporting the use of a 250 m buffer along the Athabasca River. Therefore, based on available corridor monitoring and wildlife habitat data specific to this region, a 250 m buffer from the Athabasca River is considered to be an effective width for maintaining landscape connectivity.
