The predicted residual effects are considered for each Project phase (Construction, Operation, Decommissioning/post-decommissioning, and Unplanned Events). As per the criteria established in Section 2.5, the Significance has been determined for each residual adverse effect (no significance rating was established for positive effects). For ease of reference, these criteria are repeated here: Significant • Major: Potential impact could jeopardize the long term sustainability of the resource. Criteria used to evaluate the long term sustainability of the resource include consideration of the following: magnitude, geographic extent, duration/frequency, reversibility, and ecological and socio/cultural context. Professional judgement and expertise is used to determine significance as a function of these criteria. Section 2.5 gives further detail on how each of the criteria is evaluated. Additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives should be considered. Not Significant • Medium: Potential impact could result in a decline of a resource in terms of quality/quantity, such that the impact is considered moderate in its combination of magnitude, aerial extent, duration, and frequency, but does not affect the long term sustainability (that is, it is considered reversible). Additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives may be considered. • Minor: Potential impact may result in a localized or short-term decline in a resource during the life of the Project. Typically, no additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives are considered. • Minimal: Potential impact may result in a small, localized decline in a resource during the construction phase of the Project, and should be negligible to the overall baseline status of the resource. Only effects considered significant underwent an additional consideration of the likelihood of their occurrence and the level of confidence underlying the effects prediction. The results of the assessment have been developed and presented in Sections 6.1 through 6.3.

The Project phase or phases to which the identified effect applies have been listed, followed by the type of impact (adverse or positive) and the significance of residual effects. Accidental events can occur, potentially causing damage to the biophysical environment, as well as to effects on human health and safety.

6.0 RESIDUAL EFFECTS ASSESSMENT SUMMARY Residual impacts refer to those environmental effects predicted to remain after the application of mitigation outlined in this EA. The predicted residual effects are considered for each Project phase (Construction, Operation, Decommissioning/post-decommissioning, and Unplanned Events). As per the criteria established in Section 2.5, the Significance has been determined for each residual adverse effect (no significance rating was established for positive effects). For ease of reference, these criteria are repeated here: Significant
• Major: Potential impact could jeopardize the long term sustainability of the resource. Criteria used to evaluate the long term sustainability of the resource include consideration of the following: magnitude, geographic extent, duration/frequency, reversibility, and ecological and socio/cultural context. Professional judgement and expertise is used to determine significance as a function of these criteria. Section 2.5 gives further detail on how each of the criteria is evaluated. Additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives should be considered.
Not Significant
• Medium: Potential impact could result in a decline of a resource in terms of quality/quantity, such that the impact is considered moderate in its combination of magnitude, aerial extent, duration, and frequency, but does not affect the long term sustainability (that is, it is considered reversible). Additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives may be considered.
• Minor: Potential impact may result in a localized or short-term decline in a resource during the life of the Project. Typically, no additional research, monitoring, and/or recovery initiatives are considered.
• Minimal: Potential impact may result in a small, localized decline in a resource during the construction phase of the Project, and should be negligible to the overall baseline status of the resource.
Only effects considered significant underwent an additional consideration of the likelihood of their occurrence and the level of confidence underlying the effects prediction. The results of the assessment have been developed and presented in Sections 6.1 through 6.3. The tables describe the predicted effect on several indicator criteria representing each VEC and the identified avoidance or mitigation measures which could eliminate or reduce the predicted effect. It is of note that, for the purposes of this CSR, a FHCP is considered to be a mitigation measure.

is low, the result can be significant. Unplanned events are, by their nature difficult to predict, the approach has been to apply environmental management practice to prevention and preparedness training so as to reduce the likelihood of such events, but to be well prepared to implement an effective emergency response should an event occur. Emergency Preparedness Planning will include the development and maintenance of a high degree of readiness through equipment purchase and maintenance, training exercises, and simulations. As has been previously noted, Emergency Preparedness Planning has been integrated into all phases of Project design, planning, and execution. The objective is to perform well above the industry average, and to improve on the record continuously. Accidental events are by their nature unpredictable and are not described further in this section. However, a detailed assessment of potential effects and mitigation for accidental events is provided in Section 10.0. Through careful design and planning, combined with prudent application of proven mitigation measures, Keltic has identified and addressed all potential adverse environmental effects, and reduced the predicted adverse impacts to a low level of significance. The Project will also have important economic benefits both locally and regionally. For several VECs no adverse environmental effects were identified that could result from normal/routine works and activities during any of the Project phases. Therefore, residual effects tables have not been included for these VECs in this section. A summary of these VECs is provided below by component. It is of note, that potential adverse effects resulting from malfunctions and accidents may involve these VECs. This is discussed in the Section 10.0.

Keltic Petrochemicals Inc. Liquid Natural Gas Facilities and Marginal Wharf Comprehensive Study Report – Final Report Goldboro, Nova Scotia October 2007
Project No.: TV61029 Page 125
6.4 EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT ON RENEWABLE RESOURCES It is a requirement of CEAA to consider the capacity of renewable resources to meet present and future needs. This section presents the results of the assessment of the Project’s effects on the capacity of renewable resources. In the first step, it was determined if any of the VECs representing the renewable resources of the Project Area are significantly affected by the Project. If a potential for significant adverse effects was identified, the second step was to investigate whether the resource would be affected to the point that it would no longer be sustainable, i.e., if the effects would extend beyond the capacity of the resource. For this purpose, “capacity” was interpreted as a resource’s sustainability. The principle of sustainability considered is consistent with the United Nations’ definition of sustainable development, i.e., “economic development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Several of the VECs identified, may be considered to be renewable resources (i.e., resource will return to a natural state over time) as follows:
• Freshwater Quality/Quantity;
• Groundwater Quality/Quantity;
• Vegetation;
• Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat;
• Wetlands;
• Fish; and
• Atmospheric and Underwater Conditions Presently, all of the VECs identified above are managed by the Provincial and Federal agencies, which allow sustainable harvesting/usage of VECs such as hunting, fishing, and forestry. Based on the assessment of Project and cumulative effects (Sections 5.0, 8.0, and 10.0), no significant adverse residual effects are likely to occur on any of the VECs, with application of the identified mitigation. Within the local and regional context, a significant effect was considered to diminish the quality of the renewable resource, critically reduce the availability of the renewable resource, or compromise the ability of other species or future generations to meet their needs. Since no significant adverse effects are anticipated, the capacity of the renewable resources identified above to meet present and future needs is considered to be unaffected by the Project. Therefore, no additional mitigation is necessary to protect renewable resources.
