• Wood waste burners being phased out by Province

• Fox Creek’s permit to operate burner expires January 1st, 2015

• Fox Creek has found solution to utilize wood waste, eliminate burner

• To implement solution, Fox Creek requires “Certificate of Variance” extending burner operation to June 30, 2016

Review of Options Considered

1. Sell residuals to current regional producers/users of biomass (MDF, hog fuel, pellets, etc):

• Most have little to no additional capacity to take Fox Creeks biomass or are under long-term contracts

2. Build combined biomass heat and power plant:

• Utilizes all Fox Creek waste biomass residuals

• But, rate of payback very poor (>20 years) at current power pricing and capital costs in Alberta

21

Page 22: 14.02.18 Agenda

A Resourceful Company

Review of Options Considered3. Build pelletizing plant:

• Only addresses sawdust (20% of material now incinerated)• Need solution for remaining 80%

4. Invest in natural gas displacement system:• Only partial solution, utilizing 35-40% of residual biomass

to meet all heat requirements• Poor economics with current natural gas pricing (<$5/GJ)

5. Build Rankine Cycle biomass power plant:• Same issues as conventional biomass power: high capital

cost, poor return on investment at current power prices

Path Forward1. Millar Western has signed MOU with local wood

waste facility to take 65,000 GTs of Fox Creek biomass by June 30th, 2016• Represents 65% of total volume to Fox Creek burner• Requires loading infrastructure at Fox Creek mill• Engineering is being completed

23

Page 24: 14.02.18 Agenda

A Resourceful Company

Path Forward2. Remaining 35,000 GTs of material utilized as follows:

• Planer trim blocks to be chipped, sold along with sawmill residual chips

• This currently done at our Whitecourt sawmill• Will require installation of chipper and conveyors• Engineering is being completed

• Sawdust to be sold to interested parties for resale into oil & gas sector, pellet markets

• Will require installation of conveyors and storage bins• Engineering is being completed

Obtaining a Certificate of VarianceEnvironmental Protection and Enhancement Act 78(1):• The Minister may issue a certificate of variance if the

Minister is of the opinion that:a) The activity to which the certificate relates is operating or is

likely to operate in contravention of a term or condition of the approval or a requirement of the regulations as a result of factors beyond the control of the applicant;

b) The proposed variance is not likely to cause significant adverse effect; and

c) Refusal to grant the COV would result in serious economic hardship to the applicant without an offsetting benefit to others.

25

Page 26: 14.02.18 Agenda

A Resourceful Company

Public Consultation Plan• MWFP responsible for ensuring public advised of COV

request, has opportunity for input on burner extension:• Direct contact with landowners/occupants within 2 km radius

of Fox Creek operations• Ads in local newspapers• Presentations to Town of Fox Creek, M.D. of Greenview,

Millar Western Public Advisory Committee• Inform MLA, MP• Material posted to corporate website• Distribute information to Millar Western employees

26

Page 27: 14.02.18 Agenda

A Resourceful Company

Key Communication Points• Certificate of Variance required to maintain burner

operations to June 30, 2016• Burner operating procedures unchanged – nearby

landowners/occupants will notice no difference in Fox Creek’s operation

• Millar Western conducting air modeling through independent expert to ensure no air quality issues from continued operation of burner

• Permit extension will enable Millar Western to implement waste disposal plan that achieves following goals:• Decommission burner by June 2016• Put waste to use in generating regional economic activity• Ensure environmentally sound utilization of regional forest

resources

Millar Western Request

Millar Western is seeking support from Town of Fox Creek, MD of Greenview:• Letter to Minister of AESRD, stating your support of Millar

Western’s efforts to secure a Certificate of Variance that would allow it to continue to operate the Fox Creek burner to June 30, 2016

• Help respond to questions, direct community members to Millar Western contacts and information

Summary1. MWFP has a solid plan to eliminate the burner2. By June 30th, 2016 MW will:

• Send 65,000 GTs of biomass to local biomass waste facility• Chip planer mill trim blocks, sell alongside sawmill chips• Collect and sell sawdust into the oil & gas, pellet markets

3. MWFP will require a permit extension by the Minister of AESRD to continue burner operation until June 30, 2016

4. Letters of support from Town of Fox Creek and MD of Greenview will assist with our application for permit extension

STRATEGIC PLAN: FINANCIAL REVIEW:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council receive this report regarding the 2014 Roadway Works for information as presented. BACKGROUND / PROPOSAL: Twp. Road 690 – Hwy 40 to Bald Mtn. Tower Road – Grading Base Paving Preliminary survey and geometric design have been completed. A Conceptual Design Report and alignment options have been submitted to Greenview. Recently contractors have hydro-vaced pipelines crossing the project. Preliminary contact with utility owners is underway. Project is temporarily on hold pending Council decision. Meeting with Weyerhaeuser at Greenview administration office scheduled for February 24, 2014 to discuss intersection options. Little Smoky Road Phase 4 – Base Paving Draft Tender for Little Smoky Phase 4 base pave was submitted for review on January 22, 2014. Review completed, awaiting Council decision to publicly advertise tender. Schedule “B” was added to the contract to include; paving of Little Smoky Water Point Access Road, final stage paving of Twp.704 (East of Valleyview to Jct. Hwy 49), repairs at Valleyview Golf Course Road, bridge approaches and repair of culvert settlements on Sturgeon Heights Road/Suncor Road. Forestry Trunk Road – Hwy 40 to N. Of Hwy 40 Preliminary center line/typical cross section survey and field inspection was completed in December 2013. Received a prepared conceptual design for discussion at January 22, 2014 meeting with AMEC. Currently preparing brief conceptual design report outlining grading and calcium stabilized GBC/base paving options that will be received this week. OPTIONS - BENEFITS / DISADVANTAGES: Twp.690 Option (2) reduces land acquisition, environmental wetland disturbance and Atco power relocation while eliminating First Nation Consultation and corrects the alignment issue at the intersection west of Bald Mountain Tower road.

32

Page 33: 14.02.18 Agenda

OPTIONS - BENEFITS / DISADVANTAGES: continued Weyerhaeuser haul road intersection Option (A) appears to give the Haul road users better site distance at the intersection. Improving overall safety at a busy intersection. Traffic Counts June 2012 for TWP. 690 (250m East of Hwy 43) average count 203 with 20.2 % trucks. Little Smoky Road Phase 4 Base Pave Tender is ready to be advertise. By taking advantage of early advertising Greenview can expect lower Bid results. Amec has recently reported a slight upward trend in asphalt prices and anticipates this trend to continue as the construction season gets closer. Schedule “B” items are small jobs that allow for better pricing if included in larger projects. Amec was asked not to proceed any further with preliminary design investigation on the South end of the Forestry Trunk road project until staff gets further clarification from Council.

MEETING DATE: February 18, 2014 CAO:

DEPARTMENT: Community Services/Protective Services GM:

PRESENTER: JF FILE NO./LEGAL: N/A LEGAL/ POLICY REVIEW: LC STRATEGIC PLAN: FINANCIAL REVIEW:

RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council reaffirm motion #03.11.532 not to authorize the use of green flashing lights by First Responders. BACKGROUND / PROPOSAL: At the April 3, 2013 Committee of the Whole Meeting Council requested administration to investigate Green-Mount First Responder Lights and a subsequent bylaw:

5.5 Personal Vehicle Response Lights for First Responders Motion: 13.03.43. Moved by: BURTON To have administration to investigate Green-Mount First Responders Lights and subsequent bylaw. CARRIED

At the November 26, 2003 Regular Council Meeting, Council made the following motion:

Flashing Green Lights Motion: 03.11.532. That Council hereby denies the use of green flashing lights for fire fighters for use on all M.D. fire fighters personal vehicles. Moved by: TOLLEFSON/YELENIK Opposed: BURTON, KARAKUNTIE CARRIED

OPTIONS - BENEFITS / DISADVANTAGES: Legal Opinion provides the following disadvantages on proposing a bylaw enacting flashing green lamps for fire fighters personal vehicles. This opinion was provided August 2013:

• The use of flashing green lamps does not bestow any right to speed, ignore traffic signals or contravene any other provision of the Traffic Safety Act. This creates potential liability.

• It would be tempting for fire fighters to speed or otherwise contravene the Rules of the Road as they drive to an emergency with their green light flashing, but it is not clear that other drivers would know or understand what a green flashing light represents. While drivers may pull over or make way, which would enable fire-fighters to proceed more quickly to the emergency without having to contravene the Rules of the Road, they may not necessarily do so.

• If, while driving to an emergency, a fire fighter contravenes the Rules of the Road, including speeding, passing, obeying traffic signals, turning, backing up, yielding, stopping etc., and causes damage or injury to a

49

Page 50: 14.02.18 Agenda

person, vehicle or property, not only will the fire-fighter be liable (as would any other driver) but Greenview will most likely be liable as well by virtue of vicarious liability. Vicarious liability is based upon a relationship the defendant has with another individual involved in tortious conduct.

Staff sees no demonstrable benefit to the provision of Green Flashing Lights. COSTS / SOURCE OF FUNDING:

• Should Council opt to allow green lights for First Responders, the estimated starting cost is $8,000.00 which would need to be included 2014 Budget.
