Need for electricity:Demand growth – 34% increase in Canada’s energy consumption per person in 15

years

Phase out of coal-fueled electricity by 2030

Alberta needs 4,000 MW of power generation capacity in next 15 years

Solar Benefits

Alberta hosts one of the world’s leadingsolar resources

Environment:No greenhouse gas emissions which reduces Alberta’s carbon footprint

Little to no increase in existing noise levels

Low physical profile means non-obtrusive to surrounding community

Economic:Community benefits from project construction, materials, supplies and labour

sourced locally

As many as 270 workers and skilled trades on site during peak construction

1 to 2 permanent jobs over 20 to 30 year operating period

Municipal tax revenues

Construction PlanThe following activities will occur during the construction phase of the Project:

Surveying and staking of the project location.Installation of Erosion control materials, site clearing/grubbing, ground levelling, grading anddrainage works.Construction of Site Entrance, Power and Communication facilities.Installation of security light and fencing.Installation of laydown/construction staging areas and temporary facilities.Construction of interior access roads.Construction of foundations for electrical equipment.Installation of structural supports and racks for solar PV modules.Installation of solar PV modules.Construction of electrical collection system, wiring and components.Site landscaping and vegetation.

Site Restoration

All construction equipment, material, waste and temporary facilities will be removed from the site.Disturbed areas may be seeded with a low-growing species such as clover, or allowed to re-vegetatenaturally as needed.

Testing and Commissioning

Testing and Commissioning will be undertaken prior to Project start-up and connection to the powergrid

Construction Planning

Construction activities areanticipated to takeapproximately 10-12 months.

Construction hours will generallyoccur Monday through Friday andin accordance with any localmunicipal by-laws in order tominimize any impacts to thecommunity

� � ��� �� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��� � � ��� �

Design & Operation

MaintenanceIt will be necessary to maintain the land in such a way that vegetation does not shade or in otherways impact the solar panels.It is anticipated that the site will be planted with mostly native grassland plant species, whichwill limit the need for regular maintenance, maintain the nutrient quality of the soil and manageweed growth.The renewable energy facility will be remotely monitored, which will limit the required site visits.Site visits will occur at least weekly to ensure that the facility is in proper working order.Activities that will occur during these visits may include data collection, regular maintenance andany necessary repairs.

Emergency Response and Communication Plan

This plan provides key contact information for relevant responders, regulators, landowners andother stakeholders during the response to an emergency.

General OperationModules will be installed on a ground mountedracking system that will be on a fixed tilt, facing duesouth (rows to tables will be spaced atapproximately 12 metre intervals withapproximately 9 metres of open space between thetables).DC electricity generated by each module is routedby cables to inverters, which are used to convertelectricity from DC to AC. Transformers then“step-up” the voltage to the local distributionvoltage.

Security

To ensure safety to the public and to preventpotential trespassing and vandalism, the perimetersof the location will be fenced and the Projectentrance point will be gated.Lights will be installed near the entrance to thefacility and task-specific lights will be installedwhere required throughout the project location.

WILDLIFE ASSESSMENT

Available wildlife habitat:

- The Project is on cultivated land and surrounded mainly by cultivated land to the northeast, east and south - Patches of grassland habitat (tame pasture) to the south and north - Treed habitat associated with residence to the west- The Oldman River is located approximately 500 metres west and is habitat for birds, mammals, snakes and amphibians as well as a staging area for birds during migration

Wildlife surveys completed and observations to date:

- Raptor and heron nest survey – an active red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) nest on the eastern boundary of NW 17-10-16-W4M- Sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) lek (2 surveys) - no sharp-tailed grouse or leks observed- Burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) (1 survey) - no burrowing owl or nests observed

observations of waterfowl, gulls, shorebirds, American white pelican, landbirds, and passerines- Breeding bird (2 surveys) – low densities of songbirds, mainly western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis) and vesper sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus). Barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) and loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) were also observed outside the project

were recorded

VEGETATION AND WETLAND ASSESSMENT

Findings of the survey include:

• Project area is cultivated with centre pivot irrigation• Several small wetlands are located around the outside edge of the Project area which will be avoided by the Project development• There is a small amount of improved non-native pasture near the eastern and southern edges of the Project area• The Project area has low potential for rare plants due to cultivation

NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENTA noise impact assessment was completed to assess the potential noise emissions from the proposed Project.

MEASUREMENT PARAMETERSNoise is measured in A-weighted decibel level (dBA)

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS• AUC Rule 012 prescribes daytime and nighttime noise limits at noise sensitive receptors.• Daytime is 7 AM to 10 PM and nighttime is 10 PM to 7 AM• Permissible Sound Level (PSL) of 50 dBA daytime and 40 dBA nighttime at the “most affected” or closest residence (R7)• Low frequency noise (LFN) effect

NOISE SOURCES• Invertor and transformer Stations• Ambient sound level (ASL)

PREDICTION MODELCadna/A commercial software based on international standard (ISO 9613) for predicting sound propagation. The model considers factors such as noise sources in full octave band frequency, weather, terrain, time of day, and ground conditions.

Process & ScheduleWho is the AUC?

The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) is a quasi-judicial independent agency established by

the Government of Alberta, responsible to ensure that the delivery of Alberta’s utility service

takes place in a manner that is fair, responsible and in the public interest. They regulate

investor-owned natural gas, electric and water utilities, and certain municipally-owned electric

utilities to protect social, economic and environmental interests of Alberta where competitive

market forces do not.

Project Schedule

Following initial public consultation, C&B Solar's

proposed project schedule is as follows:

For more information on the AUC

process please ask us for a

brochure or go to www.auc.ab.ca

AUC Process

Step 1: Public consultation by theapplicant

Step 2: Application filed with theAUC

Step 3: The AUC issues a notice ofapplication or notice of hearing

Step 4: Interested parties submitfilings to the AUC with any

outstanding issues or objections

Step 5: The AUC issues a decisionor notice of hearing

If the AUC approved theproject, ancillary approvals willbe obtained and construction

commences.
