  • December 13, 2024 Via email (Veronica.Mossop@iaac-aeic.gc.ca) Attn: Veronica Mossop Analyst, Decision Statements Impact Assessment Agency of Canada Dear Ms. Mossop, Re: Siksika’s response to IAAC’s draft Analysis Report: Analysis of TEC's Proposed Change to the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project I write as Consultation Coordinator for the Siksika Nation (“Siksika”) regarding the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project (the “Project”). I write to respond to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada’s (“IAAC”) draft Analysis Report titled Analysis of TEC's Proposed Change to the Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project. Background A main feature of the Project is that the proposed reservoir will be dry for long periods of time and has the potential to provide consistent, protected, and prioritized access to Siksika and other Indigenous groups to carry out traditional activities such as hunting, fishing, and trapping. The Project was approved by the IAAC in 2021 ...

  • I do not believe this project has thoroughly examined the science behind the design. Plus how can the government force out families who have lived and farmed in the area for over 100 years? It seems so wrong that a project designed to help Calgary avoid flooding would hurt another community in the process. Please do not give the go ahead for this project make them rethink a different plan.

  • Good afternoon, Re; SR1 dry diversion - changes to information during the NRCB hearing   The dam takes 30-40 days to drain and during that time the shoreline will be producing fugitive dust with our constant winds. Biologists are supposed to be stunning fish and removing them.  Fugitive dust is an invisible occupational health hazard.  This means that the tourism months of June, July, August will have unacceptable levels of invisible dust at the very least in a tourism corridor. A high water table reduces the weight the land can take by ¾.  This area has a high water table.  Has that been accounted for?  It has not been mentioned. During flood season basements flood at 8’-0.  If the channel is 82’-20’ deep how will it not fill with groundwater?  ...

SR1 benefits are lower than MC1 benefits. SR1 capital costs continue to increase while operating costs are not disclosed. SR1 operating costs estimates are insufficient. SR1 benefit/cost ratio does not appear to include the worst case for operating costs in a design flood, but assumes worst case scenario is avoided in the “benefits” calculations. Drought on the Bow and Flood Mitigation on the Elbow Beginning on page 102 of Ex 349, Mr Rae asks a series of questions about drought and the scope of the SR1 analysis. This is a crucial line of questioning that we hope regulators are taking seriously. In Ex 325, ...

Offsetting measures are required to counterbalance the potential for residual harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) of fish habitat, or death of fish, as a result of Project activities. Alberta Transportation is committed to offsetting residual effects to fish and fish habitat, including bull trout and its critical habitat, that cannot be mitigated and is committed to developing an Offset Measures Plan that meets the conditions of both the Species at Risk Act and the Fisheries Act. ...

This new information has drastic implications for the Project and that impact the conclusions reached by IAAC on human health and on the environmental impact of the Project. Sedimentation is a serious environmental and health outcome that affects IAAC’s report and conditions. Sediment: In our view, sediment is the most problematic operational and environmental outcome of SR1. New sediment maps released by the Proponent in Exhibit 327 pdf page 190 show that sediments over 10cm in depth have increased 3x since the EIA in 2018, from 260 acres to 790 (early release) and 832 acres (late release) for a design flood!

This is demonstrated through a comparison of flow rates. This information was available in March 2016, at the latest, and was reaffirmed in 2017 reports for MC1. Why weren’t SR1 and MC1 compared using flow rates? Why was the basis of the comparison between the two projects total storage volume? Were flow rates accidentally overlooked or was this comparison intentionally avoided? Storage Volumes vs River Flow Rates: An unacceptable oversight At the NRCB hearing for SR1, Alberta Transportation (AT) stated clearly that floods are caused by flow rates, not volumes.

  • It is my understanding that, although a Joint Review Panel was not agreed to by the IAAC, the IAAC would be monitoring and considering the information raised during the NRCB Hearing on the SR1 Project in its final determination of the approval or rejection of this project.   The attached document outlines some of the many concerns raised at the recent NRCB Hearing regarding the SR1 project.  The evidence provided during the NRCB Hearing differs in many significant ways from the overly positive views outlined in the Proponent’s Environmental Impact Statement submitted to the IAAC in 2018.  It is my belief that this information should cause the IAAC to revisit its Draft Environmental Assessment Report.  The environmental consequences of the SR1 project are much worse than was reported in 2018.  Further, the consultation record provided by the Proponent, with regard to both First Nations and the Public, seems to ...

  • Springbank Reservoir (SR1) - Summary of Relevant Information from NRCB Hearing The following is a summary of some of the information provided at the NRCB Hearing into the SR1 project that is relevant to the decision made by IAAC regarding the environmental impacts of the project. Project Benefits It is clear from the evidence presented at the Hearing that the benefits provided to Albertans from the SR1 project are uneven. The project provides 1 in 200 year flood protection to residents downstream from the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary and significantly less than that to residents upstream of the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary and residents in Rocky View County downstream from SR1. Residents in the towns of Redwood Meadows (on the Tsuut’ina Nation) and Bragg Creek also receive less than 1 in 200 year flood protection from berms to be built in those towns. Interestingly, in a 2015 presentation to the Calgary River Communities Action Group, the Proponent ...

The proposed Project is located approximately 18.5 kilometers west of Calgary, Alberta; along Highway 22 and south of Highway 1 (Figure 1) (IAAC 2021). The aim of the Project is to mitigate flood impacts to the City of Calgary. The proposed Project would be located in a floodplain of the Elbow River and its tributaries and is anticipating a peak diversion flow of 600 cubic meters per second during flood events. The proposed Project is a dry dam, meaning that the Project area ...

  • Dear Laura, Jennifer, and respectable members of the hearing panel, In our submission of Thursday, February 25, 2021, we presented three main concerns and questions have to do with the Springbank dry reservoir (SR1); dam safety, water quality and Environment protection. We urged the NRCB not to ignore any of these serious and high risk issues. A reply from the proponent posted on the NRCB’s site did not address these three issues, providing unsatisfactory reply on one of the issues stating in P. 72, “AT notes that SR1’s capacity accommodates a design flood based on the largest flood on record for the Elbow River, which is the 2013 flood…”. This statement blatantly contradicts a previous acknowledgment of the fact that records show there have been two floods in Alberta 30% larger than the 2013.
