Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge
Manitoba Hydro recognizes the unique relationship Aboriginal communities have with their areas
of use and is appreciative to all the communities who took time to share information about their
history and culture as well as their valued knowledge and perspectives with regards to the Bipole
III study area and Project. The ATK that has been shared assisted Manitoba Hydro in: developing a
greater understanding of the study area; identifying potential Project effects; planning and
designing the Project; developing potential mitigation measures, some of which can be found
throughout this document.

Potential Effects: Habitat loss and contamination from structure foundations & installations; increased erosion & sedimentation of streams; Damage to stream banks; Loss of riparian vegetation; Fish habitat disturbances and impeded fish movement; Rutting of floodplain Specific Mitigation:
• Carry out construction activities on frozen ground to minimize surface damage, rutting and erosion • Use existing trails, roads or cut lines whenever possible as access routes • Identify and flag buffer areas prior to start of work • Riparian Buffers shall be a minimum of 30m and increase in size based on slope of land entering waterway. Within
these buffers shrub and herbaceous understory veg will be maintained along with trees that do not violate MH Veg Clearance Requirements.
• 7m no machine zone will restrict equipment in close proximity to the waterbody except at the trail crossing. • Adhere to Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Operational Statements for Temporary Stream Crossings, Ice
Bridges and Snow Fills, and Overhead Line Construction • No instream work or fording from April 1 to June 30 ESS Group: Birds and Habitat

Specific Mitigation:
• Adhere to reduced risk timing windows for protection of birds (August 1- April 30) • Maintain applicable setback during nesting and breeding timing window • Conduct priority assessment for bird diverters and other measures prior to transmission line stringing • Install bird diverters or other measures at high priority sites

Potential Effects: Potential loss of previously known plants of conservation concern from clearing, construction, maintenance and decommissioning activities. Specific Mitigation:
• Carry out construction activities on frozen or dry ground to minimize surface damage, rutting and erosion • Use existing access roads and trails to the extent possible • Remove trees by low-disturbance methods • Confine vehicle traffic to established trails to the extent possible • Stabilize sites immediately after construction and re-vegetate disturbed areas in accordance with site Rehabilitation

Potential Effects: Increased erosion and sedimentation; rutting of floodplains; loss of riparian vegetation Specific Mitigation:
• Carry out construction activities on frozen ground to minimize surface damage, rutting and erosion • Use existing trails, roads or cut lines whenever possible as access routes • Identify and flag buffer areas prior to start of work • Riparian Buffers shall be a minimum of 30m and increase in size based on slope of land entering waterway. Within
these buffers shrub and herbaceous understory veg will be maintained along with trees that do not violate MH Veg Clearance Requirements.
