11 KITSAULT MINE PROJT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS Number Vegetation and Plant Communities 17 Prior to construction, the proponent must develop a site map of important environmental features, including old forests, riparian areas, wetlands, ecosystems at risk, to be considered during final footprint alignment and identification of construction laydown areas. 18 Prior to construction, the proponent must conduct a timber-cruise survey to assess the amount, age, and condition or timber, including cedar that overlaps with the proposed Project footprint development. Based on the amount of high-quality cedar that cannot be avoided, the proponent must work with relevant agencies and the Nisga a Nation to determine mutually beneficial options for the end use of cut cedar trees. Wildlife and Their Habitat 19 Prior to works around wetlands and ponds during the amphibian breeding period (from mid-may to late June) or mass dispersal (early to mid-august), the proponent must survey water bodies and shorelines for western toad breeding or dispersal activity that could be affected by the proposed Project. 20 The proponent must schedule vegetation clearing activities outside of the general breeding bird period between 1 April and 31 July where practical. If clearing is required during this period, surveys must be conducted no more than seven days prior to work taking place to identify and avoid active ground and tree nests that could be affected by the proposed Project. 21 In suitable habitat, the proponent must survey the immediate area of works for the nests of eagles, peregrine falcons, ospreys, herons, and burrowing owls. If a nest is found where clearing is required, the proponent must consult with and to and determine appropriate avoidance or mitigation strategies. 22 Prior to construction, the proponent must develop a bear management plan in consultation with. This plan must include consideration to fencing in areas of increased risk to wildlife and human safety. 23 The proponent must develop and implement a No-Hunting Policy for all mine employees and contractors on site and during Project-related transport along the transportation route. 24 During winter ploughing, the proponent must provide breaks in snow banks where feasible along the FSR used for access to the mine site to allow wildlife escape routes from the road. 25 The proponent must manage solid waste associated with the proposed Project in a way that minimises wildlife attraction and reduces the risk of wildlifehuman interaction. Reclamation and Closure 26 The proponent must reclaim the mine site following the prescriptions in the Closure and Reclamation Plan. These include site preparation, placement of reclamation material, fertilizer application as needed, and re-vegetation. Geochemistry 27 The proponent must confirm and / or update geochemical characterisation and source-term predictions for the proposed Project. This would include: Data collection and ongoing characterisation of waste rock, low-grade ore, tailings, and construction material; Ongoing inventorying of waste and low-grade ore production and placement for future assessments of facility performance; Monitoring of water chemistry (seeps, pit wall run-off, supernatant); and Updates of the water and load balance to verify and / or refine water quality predictions for the proposed Project.
