Dufferin Wind Power Project

Water Assessment Report August 2012

Page 45

Dufferin Wind Power Inc.

8.4 Seepage Areas

As indicated in Table 1, a search and analysis of applicable records and resources of the project

location did not identify any seepage areas, as defined by Ontario Regulation 359/09, in the

project location or within the surrounding 120 metres. The results of the site investigation

verified this determination.

9. SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS TO THE RECORDS REVIEW

Based on the results of the site investigations, five previously unidentified water bodies

(crossings 48 through 52) were observed within 120 metres of the project location. Based on

the results of the site investigation, it was determined that five streams mapped within the

project location or 120 metre setback area, do not meet the definition of a water body

under Ontario Regulation 359/09 (i.e., is not a permanent or intermittent stream).

Previously unidentified water bodies and water bodies determined not to exist during field

investigations are discussed in Table 7 and are shown on Figure 6a through 6d. Classification of

water bodies are shown on Figure 7a through 7d.

10. CONCLUSIONS

This report is intended to fulfill the requirements for the Water Assessment Report under

Ontario Regulation 359/09. Based on the results of the site investigations, multiple water

bodies have been identified within the project location or within 120 metres. Based on these

findings, an Environmental Impact Study, as outlined under REA Sections 39 and 40, is required

for this project; one has been prepared. Table 8 summarizes the results of the site

investigation in the context of the proposed project.
