Project: Pacific Terminal PAC2 Substation Upgrade Location: 1803 Stewart Street Vancouver, BC

VFPA Site/Area No.: VAN069

Proponent(s): Viterra Inc. Track: 1

Project Description

In this Schedule, “Project” means the physical activities authorized by VFPA to be carried out pursuant to Review Number 14-044, as described below.

• Viterra Inc. (the “Proponent”) proposes to upgrade an existing substation located at the north end of the Pacific 2 (PAC2) structure at 1803 Stewart Street, Vancouver, BC. The purpose of the Project is to upgrade infrastructure to support future facility upgrades, including a new ship loading system, material handling upgrades and dust control upgrades. These future projects will be subject to separate environmental reviews.

• The proposed works include: Upgrading the existing substation building’s seismic infrastructure, fire protection and building envelope; Installing new switching equipment and five new motor control centers; Replacing the existing underground feeder cable from the roadside to the substation with a new aboveground

feeder cable installed along the west face of the PAC2 structure; Excavating and removing the 150 m (490 foot) long feeder trench; and, Constructing a new cable trench from the southernmost silo of PAC2.

• The substation building is located approximately 10 m from Burrard Inlet. • The building upgrades are anticipated to commence in October 2014, followed by electrical infrastructure changes in

July and August 2015.

Information Sources

VFPA has relied upon the following sources of information in its assessment of the potential adverse environmental effects of the Project:

• VFPA Project Review Application Form, dated February 27, 2014. • Letter re: “Project Permit Application Viterra Project P14-9802 PAC2 Substation Upgrade”, dated February 27, 2014. • Email correspondence from Gord Tycho (VFPA) to multiple recipients, April 2, 2014, 1:50 pm, re: RE: LINK:

Application from Viterra Inc. - Pacific Terminal PAC2 Substation Upgrade (PP, 2014-044), with imbedded site plans and drawings.

• Email correspondence from Gord Tycho (VFPA) to Kim Keskinen (VFPA), October 2, 2014, 1:15 pm, re: Viterra PAC2 substation (PP BP 2014-044).

Environmental Conditions

If the “project description” summary does not accurately reflect the subject proposal, please advise VFPA Environmental Programs immediately as this may affect the assumptions underlying this assessment. If the summary does accurately reflect the subject proposal, the following are the minimum conditions that must be followed to mitigate potential or foreseeable adverse environmental effects.

2. The Proponent shall at all times and in all respects comply with and abide by all applicable federal, provincial and municipal laws, statutes, by-laws, regulations, orders and policies from time to time in force and effect including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all rules and directions established by VFPA from time to time (collectively, “Applicable Law”).
