TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 References Section 13.1 especially in the north and eastern portions of the province (Goward 2007, pers. comm.). Lichens as a group are under-collected, at least in certain regions of North America, which has resulted in lack of species presence, abundance and distribution information (Thomson and Will-Wolf 2000 website; Esslinger 2006 website; USGS 2007 website; NatureServe 2009 website).

Response 75b Shell does not intend to mitigate the loss of these seven rare lichen species within the project footprint. See the response to AENV SIR 75a for further discussion. Request 75c Confirm that Shell has chosen not to undertake any additional directed surveys to establish the presence of these species outside the Project Area. April 2010 Shell Canada Limited 13-71 CR029
TERRESTRIAL AENV SIRS 44 – 78 Section 13.1 Response 75c Because Shell does not expect that the project will result in the extirpation of these seven rare lichen species, as discussed in the response to AENV SIR 75a, Shell is not planning to undertake additional surveys outside of the project local study areas to establish the presence of these species in other areas. Question No. 76 Request Volume 2, SIR 482a, Page 23-181 ; Volume 2, SIR 510a, Page 23-226. In response to the question of why not all listed species were modelled, Shell states that Wildlife KIRS were primarily identified based on CEMA SEWG ratified indicator list, provincial and federal status, representation across ecological stages i.e., wetlands, early and mid successional habitats, and taxonomic groupings i.e., mammals, birds and amphibians. Habitat modeling was conducted for all species that were chosen as Key Indicator Resources (KIRs) … and… Most of the habitat requirements of listed species are represented by KIRs. In Table 510-1 used to supplement Shell’s Response 510a, Shell indicates that woodland caribou were observed during field surveys in the Local Study Area. 76a Given that woodland caribou seem to fit all of the criteria Shell has listed for selection of species for KIR inclusion, why were woodland caribou not selected as a KIR for assessment of this project? Response 76a Woodland caribou were not selected as a key indicator resource (KIR) for the project because the local study areas (LSAs) do not fall within a recognized caribou zone, and caribou are transient and therefore are observed in the area very infrequently (Golder 2007). One woodland caribou track was observed during 2004 winter track surveys in the Jackpine Mine Expansion LSA and no woodland caribou sign was located during extensive terrestrial surveys conducted within the LSA from 2005 through 2007 (Golder 2007) (see EIA, Volume 5, Section 7.3.4, p. 7-37). Interviews with current Registered Fur Management Area (RFMA) holders indicate that caribou are present only sporadically, if at all (see EIA, Volume 5, Section 7.3.4, p. 7-37). Recognized Caribou Areas are located about 15 km east of the Jackpine Mine Expansion LSA (i.e., the Steepbank Caribou Area) and 50 km northwest of the Pierre River Mine LSA (i.e., the Birch Mountain Caribou Area).
