Document/Issue	Mitigating Measure/Commitments/Recommendations from EA	Implemented(Yes/No)	Action SummaryReference Nos.	Additions/Exceptions
Barriers to fish passage	Water flow will be maintained during construction.	Yes	AS3, AS6
	Culverts, designed using fish-friendly methods, and channels, designed using natural channel design principles, will not form barriers to fish passage duringoperations.	Yes	AS3, AS4
Loss of fish habitat	The extent of fish habitat affected will be minimized by decreasing the overall footprint where possible.	Yes	AS4
	Realigned channels will be designed using natural design principles to enhance new habitat over existing habitat.	Yes	AS4
	Riparian vegetation will be maintained where possible.	Yes	AS2, AS4
Erosion and Sediment Control	An erosion and sediment control (ESC) plan will be developed and implemented to prevent migration of sediment-laden runoff or other deleterious substances from the construction zone to the watercourses. This plan will include inspection and maintenance of the measures until final cover is established.	Yes	AS2
	Perimeter silt fence will be installed between the work areas and all reaches of those watercourses where works are required, including ditch and drainageworks that drain to watercourses that support fish habitat.	Yes	AS2
	Silt fencing will be properly installed and regularly inspected and maintained. It will be left in place and maintained until all surfaces contributing drainage tothese watercourses are fully stabilized.	Yes	AS2
	All exposed and newly constructed surfaces will be stabilized using appropriate means in accordance with the characteristics of the soil material.	Yes	AS2, AS8
	These surfaces will be fully stabilized and re-vegetated as quickly as possible following completion of the works. Contingency procedures, materials and notification procedures will be readily available for use in the event of a silt release, and for general application in regular maintenance and repair.	Yes	AS2, AS8
Fish Protection	All in-water and near-water activities will be conducted within the applicable in- water construction timing windows, as identified by the MNR, to protect thevarious life stages of fish.	Yes	AS2
	The construction timing periods will be applied to all fish-bearing watercourses, as well as watercourses that drain directly to fish-bearing watercourses, based on the thermal classification of the fish community present.	Yes	AS2
	All hoses drawing water from streams supporting fish use during temporary flow management procedures will be screened to prevent potentialentrainment of fish.	Yes	AS2
	Any fish stranded within the temporary in-water work zones will be removed and relocated using appropriate techniques by a qualified fisheries biologist.	Yes	AS3
	Re-location sites for fish stranded within the temporary work zones where continuous flow is not present during the construction period will be identified. Generally, such a site should always be on a permanent reach of the watercourse, or where there is no continuous flow in the vicinity; it may be on a permanent reach of the receiving/parent watercourse.	Yes	AS3
