The project is expected to have positive effects on local employment income

generation(E.g landowner revenues) i.e. 15 employees

The project will almost double SaskPower’swind capacity when it comes online 2016.

Strength & Opportunities

The project will provide enoughelectricity to power about 70,000 homeswhen it is brought into service in 2016

Wind power may be an important source ofstability for Saskatchewan's energy sectorin the face of possibly dramatic andunpredictable fluctuations in water supply

The area used for project can still beused for farming.

Wind Energy accounts for0.2%(439MW) of the energycapacity(250000 MW) in Canada

Increased tax base in the RMs where turbines are placed and have positive

local economic spin-offs.

Meetings with landowners will lead tomeaningful participation in thedecision making process and also willproduce opportunities for people toremain in rural communities

CHALLENGESThere is still uncertainty in the determination ofsignificance related to bat collisions and these willbe monitored to address any unanticipated events.

Brown loam soils tend to be thin and low inorganic matter causing surface disturbance anderosion

There is a potential for leaks and spills ofhazardous materials to have an effect onphysical environment

Spills of gasoline and diesel could affect soilquality and surface or groundwater quality

Traffic levels during construction may increase therisk of wildlife-vehicle collisions on roadways

There are 27 archaeological sites within study areaand 49 within a 5km buffer zone

Delivery of equipment will result in surfacedisturbance, rutting, nuisance noise due tovehicular traffic

Additional Information

• The project as currently proposed will not require any offsite land use

beyond the Project Study area-Use of rail.

• Wind energy is growing fast. It has been the world’s fastest growing

renewable energy source for more than a decade with an average annual

growth rate of over 20%.

• Project will comply with environmental regulations administered by

Saskatchewan Environment and other government agencies.
