Tiger Tote Road ESCP - Revision 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tetra Tech EBA Inc. (Tetra Tech), under the auspices of NelpCO, has been retained by ATAC Resources Ltd.
(ATAC) to provide an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) for works conducted in and about watercourses
during the construction of a tote road to the Tiger Project on its Rau property (“Project”). This ESCP is provided to
meet the information request of the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board (YESAB).
1.1 Project Location and Description
The tote road includes the construction of a 65 km long, single lane, radio-controlled road that will utilize
approximately 14 km of the existing Wind River Trail winter road and 52 km along new terrain, primarily through the
Rankin Creek Valley (Figure 1). The tote road will require crossing multiple watercourses along the proposed
alignment.
Project works include installation of crossing structures at the watercourse crossing locations (Table 1). Two
crossing structure types will be utilized: culverts and bridges. Corrugated steel pipe (CSP) culverts comprise the
majority of crossing structures as most of the watercourses are small, headwater tributaries with widths less than
3 m. Where watercourses are greater than 3 m bridge structures will be installed.
Kilometer 0 of the tote road is located approximately 10 km northeast of Keno City, YT at approximately
484098.61 m E and 7098378.78 m N, zone 8W. It is accessed via the existing Hanson Lake Road. The proposed
alignment runs east-west south of Ladue Lake and follows the north side of Keno Ladue Creek to approximately
km 18 where it turns north-south along the west side of Rankin Creek, between Clark Lakes and Scougale Lakes
to approximately km 49. Here it again runs east-west on the north side of the Beaver River to the Tiger Deposit at
km 65. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the proposed road alignment and the watercourse crossing locations.

2.0 REGULATORY GUIDELINES
Tetra Tech’s recommendations are based on the following guiding documents and regulations:
� Best Management Practices for Works Affecting Water in Yukon - Government of Yukon (2011).
� Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat: Total Particulate Matter. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) (2002).
� Fisheries Act R.S.C. 1985, c. F-15. Last amended November 25, 2013.
� Fish Stream Crossing Guidebook – BC Ministry of Forestry, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), BC Ministry of Environment (MOE) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) (2012).
� Habitat Conservation and Protection Guidelines - Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) (1998).
� Land Development Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat - DFO and Ministry of Environment and Lands and Parks (MELP) (1993).
� Northern Land Use Guidelines, Access: Roads and Trails - Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) (2010).
Since the primary objective of the ESCP is to minimize the potential for sediment mobilization to a watercourse, the following water quality guidelines are applicable to the Project:

Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
Table 3: Water Quality Guidelines For Total Particu late Matter For The Protection Of Aquatic Life (CCME, 2002)
Suspended Sediments
Clear Flow Maximum increase of 25 mg⋅L-1 from background levels for any short-term exposure (e.g., 24-h period). Maximum average increase of 5 mg/L from background levels for longer term
exposures (e.g., inputs lasting between 24 h and 30 d).
High Flow Maximum increase of 25 mg⋅L-1 from background levels at any time when background levels are between 25 and 250 mg⋅L-1. Should not increase more than 10% of background levels
when background is >250 mg/L.
Turbidity
Clear Flow Maximum increase of 8 NTUs from background levels for a short-term exposure
(e.g., 24-h period). Maximum average increase of 2 NTUs from background levels for a longer term exposure (e.g., 30-d period).
High Flow or Turbid Waters Maximum increase of 8 NTUs from background levels at any one time when background levels are between 8 and 80 NTUs. Should not increase more than 10% of background levels when
background is >80 NTUs.
TSS is not typically measured in the field as it requires filtering the water sample and weighing the resulting solids. Often turbidity is used as a field measurement to roughly correlate TSS levels.
Measuring the amount of sediment in water leaving a site is typically a primary concern in ESCPs and establishing a background level of receiving waters is necessary to ensure that guidelines are not exceeded. Tetra Tech recommends establishing a background turbidity level of each watercourse prior to the start of any construction activities.
3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 Surficial Geology and Soils
Detailed soil mapping is absent for the Project area and the nearest reconnaissance surveys are limited to the area around Mayo. Terrain mapping indicates four types of surficial materials, with various expressions, along the tote road (Province of British Columbia, 1997):
Colluvium (C) - Generally consist of massive to moderately well-stratified, non-sorted to poorly-sorted sediments with any range of particle sizes from clay to boulders and blocks. The character of any particular colluvial deposit depends upon the nature of the material from which it was derived and the specific process whereby it was deposited.
Fluvial (F) - Deposits generally consist of gravel and/or sand, and/or silt (and rarely, clay). Gravels are typically rounded and contain interstitial sand. Fluvial sediments are commonly moderately- to well-sorted, and display stratification, although massive, non-sorted fluvial deposits do occur.
Glaciofluvial (FG) - Glaciofluvial materials typically range from non-sorted and non-bedded gravel made up of a wide range of particle sizes, such as that resulting from very rapid aggradation at an ice front, to moderately- to well-sorted, stratified gravel; flow tills may occur in some deposits. Slump structures and/or their equivalent topographic expression, such as hummocky or irregular terrain may be present. These features are indicative of collapse of the material due to melting of supporting ice. Kettles may occur on the surface of these deposits; they result from the melting of buried or partially buried ice.

Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
Till (M) - Morainal material can be transported beneath, beside, on, within and in front of a glacier. The mineralogical, textural, structural and topographic characteristics of till deposits are highly variable and depend upon both the source of material incorporated by the glacier and the mode of deposition. In general, till consists of well-compacted to non-compacted material that is non-stratified and contains a heterogeneous mixture of particle sizes, often in a matrix of sand, silt and clay.
The surficial geology present at each crossing is available in Appendix B and on Figures 4 and 5. Although variable at each crossing location, surficial geology of the Project area is generally dominated by fine grain sediments (i.e., silt and sand) with varying components of gravels, cobbles and boulders. Soil erodibility increases as soil particle size decreases. Therefore, the likelihood of erosion and sediment mobilization is greater in areas where coarse sediments are absent.
3.2 Slope and Drainage
A major factor in erosion and sediment control is slope length and steepness. Soil erodibility increases with slope gradient. Slopes of 0-7% are considered to have low erosion potential, slopes between 8 and 15% have moderate erosion potential and slopes of >15% are considered to have a high erosion potential (Prince George’s County Maryland, 1999).
Topographic mapping suggests that watercourse slopes at the Project range from <8% to >30%, depending on the crossing location. However, the tote road has been designed to not exceed 11%. Therefore, while the surrounding slopes may be precipitous with high erosion potential the road approach and immediate work site will likely have moderate erosion potential.
3.3 Vegetation
The tote road generally occurs within coniferous forest, either white spruce or black spruce vegetation types though short sections pass through wetland/riparian or post-burn regeneration vegetation types. Project activities occur within the riparian zone of each crossing location. While specific vegetation composition varies at each crossing location (Appendix B), tree or shrub cover is nearly ubiquitous.
3.4 Watercourses
A total of 46 watercourse crossings will occur along the tote road (Appendix B; Figures 2 and 3). Watercourses vary from small headwater tributaries to large permanent streams.
It is assumed that fish have the potential to be present in all Project watercourses. Eight fish species have been recorded in watercourses proximate to the Project: Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), Round Whitefish (Coregonus cylindraceum), Slimy Sculpin (Cottus cognatus), Northern Pike (Esox lucius), Burbot (Lota lota), Chinook Salmon (Oncorynchus tshawytscha), Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) (Laberge, 2014).
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
4.1 Frequency of Monitoring
On-site monitoring is a key component of ensuring that erosion and sediment control measures are implemented properly (appropriate location and correct installation) and function as intended. Works conducted in and around a watercourse typically require full-time monitoring. A qualified environmental professional, preferably with experience on similar projects, should be retained as the Environmental Monitor (EM) to provide guidance on implementing erosion and sediment control measures and, if necessary, to develop additional mitigation measures.
TIGER TOTE ROAD ESCP
FILE: W14103702-01 | NOVEMBER 14, 2016 – REVISION 1 | ISSUED FOR USE
6
Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
For this Project, full-time environmental monitoring by the EM may not be necessary. Installing culverts and bridges is typically considered a routine construction activity and once suitable protocols are established on-site personnel, preferably one person dedicated to the task, may be able to conduct daily inspections. Tetra Tech recommends that, at a minimum, the EM be present for any pre-construction meetings and at the first several crossing installations (i.e., for the first culvert and the first bridge crossing as well as for the Beaver River bridge works below the high water mark) to establish a “template” of locations and measures to be used as well as to ensure proper installation of all measures. Additionally, the EM should be available via phone or email throughout the entire Project to provide guidance when required. The EM should also conduct monitoring in exceptional circumstances, such as at locations with very steep gradients or during extended periods of heavy precipitation.
The frequency and periods of monitoring should be agreed upon by the EM and the Contractor once the final construction schedule is established.
4.2 Monitoring Plan and Thresholds
The primary indicator of successful implementation of this ESCP is the water quality of the proximate watercourse, particularly whether the TSS and/or turbidity levels meet CCME Guidelines (see Section 2.0). TSS is not typically measured in the field as it requires filtering the water sample and weighing the resulting solids. Often turbidity is used as a field measurement to roughly correlate TSS levels. CCME guidelines also state that short-term (i.e., less than 24 hours) increases in turbidity should not exceed 8 NTUs above background during clear flows (i.e., when background turbidity is less than 80 NTUs). When background turbidity is greater than 80 NTUs, turbidity should increase not more than 10% of background concentrations.
The following monitoring plan is recommended:
� Establish monitoring stations immediately upstream (within 10 m) of the Project activities, 15 m downstream, 50 m downstream and 100 m downstream of the Project activities. Additional monitoring stations may be required (at 50 m intervals to 250 m downstream) in the event of increased turbidity levels. The actual locations of the monitoring stations should be at the discretion of the EM.
� Conduct turbidity measurements at regular intervals. The initial reading should be conducted prior to the start of any on-site activity. During dry weather it is likely sufficient to conduct hourly visual inspections and instrument measurements (e.g., turbidity metre) every 2 to 4 hours. During wet weather hourly instrument measurements are recommended.
� If an initial increase in turbidity is encountered, the EM or on-site monitor should halt works, determine the source of sediment and implement corrective measures. Turbidity monitoring should be conducted every 30 minutes for 2 hours to see if the corrective actions were effective. If successful, works may continue and if not, additional measures may be required. Work should not continue until turbidity returns to appropriate levels.
4.3 Inspection Report Documentation
Each monitoring event (both those conducted by the EM and the on-site representative) should be documented to record areas of concern and incidents as well as actions taken to resolve them. Photographs should be taken as additional documentation.
An inspection report should be written within 24 hours of each monitoring event. Each report should contain:
� Inspection date;
� Name, company, title of person conducting the inspection;
TIGER TOTE ROAD ESCP
FILE: W14103702-01 | NOVEMBER 14, 2016 – REVISION 1 | ISSUED FOR USE
7
Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
� Weather conditions at time of inspection;
� Areas and erosion and sediment control measures inspected ;
� Areas of concern or deficiencies in measures;
� Recommended corrective actions. Corrective actions should be completed within 24 hours of the recommendation;
� Photographs representing conditions at the time of the inspection and areas of concern/deficiencies; and
� Signed by the EM or on-site representative and the appropriate Project authority (typically the Site Supervisor).
An initial inspection report should be made to confirm that that appropriate erosion and sediment control measures have been installed prior to project start. Copies of each inspection report should be kept on the Site in an accessible location with the ESCP. Distributing copies of the inspection via email to required personnel may be appropriate. At the conclusion of the Project, a report summarizing all monitoring events (including the initial inspection report), major deficiencies, emergency responses and corrective actions should be completed.
5.0 COMMUNICATION PLAN
The effective implementation and management of this ESCP requires a coordinated effort on behalf of all individuals involved. The contact list for responsible parties for the works proposed in this ESCP should be completed as soon as the information is known and made available to all parties.

6.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN
6.1 Purpose
The purpose of this ESCP is provide mitigation measures that minimize the potential for sediment mobilization into a watercourse during the Project. Specifically, good construction planning and erosion control measures are used to minimize soil mobilization before it occurs, while sediment control measures either minimize or prevent mobilized soil from being transported to a watercourse.
6.2 Risk
The potential for erosion and/or sediment mobilization increases in areas with long, steep slopes, fine textured soils and lack of vegetation. As well, any soil disturbances during extremely wet conditions will lead to an increased risk. Proximity to sensitive environmental receptors, such as fish-bearing watercourses, also increases risk.
TIGER TOTE ROAD ESCP
FILE: W14103702-01 | NOVEMBER 14, 2016 – REVISION 1 | ISSUED FOR USE
8
Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
The risk of erosion and/or sediment transport in the Project area is moderate to high because of the topography and surficial geology present. Additionally, the nature of the construction activities (e.g., removing riparian vegetation and disturbing soils) contribute to increasing erosion/sediment mobilization potential simply by exposing soils to environmental conditions.
The measures recommended in the following sections are intended to minimize the potential for erosion and/or sediment mobilization.
6.3 Best Management Practices
The following subsections present potential measures considered appropriate for the Project based on Tetra Tech’s current understanding of the proposed construction plans, schedule and general site conditions. The recommended measures are applicable at both culvert and bridge crossings. Figure 6 illustrates potential measures and placement for both culvert and bridge crossings. The measures applied and their placement will likely vary at each crossing location according to the site-specific conditions, such as slope and soil texture. Typically the EM is responsible for determining the most applicable measure and their placement.
Erosion and Sediment Control Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be divided into four broad categories: general measures, water management, erosion control and sediment control.
6.3.1 General Measures
General measures include planning and design as well as procedural, or “housekeeping” measures.
Planning and Design:
� The design considered factors to minimise environmental impact. Among the factors for selecting the road alignment were: minimizing the number of watercourse crossings, selecting areas with granular soils suitable for construction, avoiding permafrost, avoiding geohazard areas, avoiding unfavourable drainage, avoiding steep slopes and utilizing existing trails where possible.
� The Project has been scheduled to maximize efficiency. Because of the length of the road and seasonal limitations of various elements of construction, there is potential for the Project to occur in all seasons.
The Fisheries Act prohibits release of a deleterious substance, including sediment laden water, to fish habitat at any time. However, in stream work should be scheduled during the reduced risk timing window where possible to minimize the potential for causing serious harm to fish. Based on the likely species present, the reduced risk timing window for the Project area is July 1 to April 15.
Where Project works occur outside the reduced risk timing window additional measures and/or monitoring may be required.
Procedural:
� All Project personnel (herein referred to as “Contractor”) should familiarize themselves with the recommendations in this ESCP and the guideline documents presented in Section 2.0.
� Erosion and sediment control should be practiced throughout the entire Project. Erosion and/or sedimentation may be caused during dry seasons by unexpected rainfall, wind and vehicle tracking or during wet seasons by heavy precipitation and surface flows.

� Install recommended BMPs early. Erosion and sediment control measures should be installed prior to start of Project activities where possible.
� Contractors are responsible for properly installing any erosion and/or sediment control measure used on the Property. Improperly installed measures do not perform their intended functions and subsequently do not provide erosion and/or sediment control.
� Contractors should be prepared to change existing erosion and/or sediment control measures should they fail, not function as intended or in the event that additional measures are required.
� Supplies of erosion and sediment control materials such as (but not limited to) rock, gravel, grass seed, silt fencing, straw bales, staking, polyethylene sheeting, etc., should be stockpiled on-site or otherwise readily available.
� Additional measures may be required if inclement weather is forecast (i.e., place tarps over stockpiles/slopes, ensure retention ponds are cleaned out etc.).
� Work area boundaries should be clearly marked. Where appropriate, visible indicators such as snow fencing, flagging or signage should be erected to ensure equipment operators are aware of the limits of the work areas.
� Construction and equipment travel should be halted during periods of heavy precipitation.
� Limit access points on the watercourse banks. Equipment movement should be minimized as much as possible (i.e., situate in a position to minimize track movement). Where frequent movement is required the ground surface may require stabilization (e.g., rig matting, gravel etc.).
� Where consistent with safety and space considerations, excavated material should be placed on the uphill side of the excavation.
� Stockpiles of erodible materials should be located as far from the watercourse as possible and located on flat, stable surfaces.
� Stockpiles of erodible materials should be sloped at 2:1 and stabilized prevent sediment mobilization. Cover soil stockpiles with polyethylene sheeting or seed with grass if the stockpile is to remain for an extended period of time and conditions permit. Install sediment barriers such as silt fencing or a lined, sandbag berm within 1 metre around the perimeter of soil stockpiles.
� Each watercourse crossing should be stabilised immediately following construction activities. Depending on the season, this may include seeding the riparian area with an approved native seed mixture, spreading weed-free mulch or straw or laying erosion matting.
6.4 Water Management Measures
Water management is intended to control the amount of water flowing over disturbed soils and to treat sediment laden water before entering a watercourse.
� Instream works (i.e., any work occurring below the high water mark) may require site isolation. Water diverted around the work area and any water pumped from the isolated area must meet CCME guidelines for turbidity (see Section 2.0) before being discharged back to a watercourse. This may require measures such as pumping water to a well-vegetated upland location or to a sediment trap (holding pond).
� Ensure surface runoff from the road approach does not enter a watercourse.

Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
� Temporary diversion ditches may be constructed to direct surface runoff away from disturbed areas or to direct sediment laden runoff to a sediment treatment area (e.g., a detention pond or vegetated area).
� Silt fencing (see Section 6.6.3) may also be effective at diverting and/or detaining sediment laden water.
6.5 Erosion Control Measures
Erosion control measures are source control. They focus on preventing the detachment, entrainment and transport of soil particles. Erosion control is typically accomplished by protecting exposed soils or by runoff control (reducing quantity and velocity of surface flows). The following subsections include the recommended BMPs to minimize erosion potential.
6.5.1 Vegetation Retention and Planting
Vegetative cover is a primary form of erosion control. Established root structures hold soil in place and foliage prevents rain splash. Vegetation is an effective means to provide both temporary and long-term soil stabilization.
� Retain existing vegetation where possible (i.e., limited to the required right-of-way). Existing vegetation that can be retained will prevent erosion better than any constructed measure.
� Where possible, brush and trees should be cut at ground height and root structures left in place to provide bank stability and minimize erosion.
� Clearly mark, flag or fence vegetation or areas where vegetation will be preserved and ensure Contractors are aware of the limits of the work area.
� Where possible, do not locate construction traffic routes, spoil piles, stockpiles, etc., where vegetation will be covered or trampled.
� Disturbed/denuded areas should be revegetated with an appropriate grass seed mixture as soon as possible (season dependent) to stabilize soils, minimize erosion and minimize potential for invasive plants to become established. The Yukon Revegetation Manual (Matheus and Omtzigt, 2013) contains lists of appropriate native and non-native herbaceous and woody plant species appropriate for various conditions. Because of the proximity to a watercourse, Tetra Tech does not recommend the application of fertilizer for the Project.
� Given the small size of the work area around each watercourse crossing, hand casting of seed may be an appropriate method of re-vegetation. However, hydro-seeding is also appropriate; the tackifier used during hydro-seeding can help stabilize soils before germination occurs and is often more effective on steep slopes.
6.5.2 Minimize Soil Exposure
Minimizing the area of disturbed soils exposed at one time decreases the potential for erosion and reduces the need for installing erosion and sediment control measures.
� Reduce the amount and duration of soil exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking.
� Schedule projects to disturb only small portions of an area at any one time. Practice staged disturbance and stabilization (e.g., immediately stabilize disturbed areas before disturbing the next portion).
� Incorporate existing site terrain and vegetation. Disturbance of highly erosive areas such as steep slopes should be minimized.
TIGER TOTE ROAD ESCP
FILE: W14103702-01 | NOVEMBER 14, 2016 – REVISION 1 | ISSUED FOR USE

Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
� Schedule construction works in and near a watercourse for dry weather whenever possible. Allow enough time before significant forecasted rainfall begins to stabilize the soil with vegetation or physical means or to install temporary sediment trapping.
6.5.3 Polyethylene Sheeting or Rolled Erosion Contr ol Products
Covering slopes and/or disturbed soils is a key measure to minimize erosion. This can be accomplished with polyethylene sheeting (tarps) or rolled erosion control products (RECP).
Polyethylene sheeting is relatively inexpensive and an effective temporary erosion control measure to cover stockpiles and small areas of disturbance. Sheeting must be continuously anchored with non-penetrating materials such as sandbags to ensure it is not displaced by wind. Any runoff generated by the sheeting should be directed away from a watercourse.
Temporary RECP, such as natural-fiber matting or geotextile matting, can be more expensive but is useful on larger areas, longer slopes and where longer term stabilization is required. These are typically used in conjunction with vegetation planting (i.e., placed over seeded area).
6.5.4 Mulching
Mulching may be an appropriate temporary erosion control measure, especially if used in conjunction with seeding. This measure is not appropriate on steep slopes but may be useful close to a watercourse. Mulches are generally organic materials such as straw, wood chips, bark or other wood fibers.
Mulching is best used for temporary stabilization of freshly seeded and planted areas, temporary stabilization during periods unsuitable for growing vegetation or temporary stabilization of areas that cannot be seeded or planted (i.e., unfavourable growing conditions, steep slope). Mulches also enhance plant establishment by conserving moisture and moderating soil temperatures. Mulch helps hold fertilizer, seed, and topsoil in place in the presence of wind, rain, and runoff and maintains moisture near the soil surface.
6.5.5 Straw Bales, Wattles or Fiber Rolls
Straw bales and wattles or fiber rolls (tube-shaped bundles of organic material) reduce erosion by slowing runoff but they can also be effective sediment traps on slopes. They are especially effective on slopes prone to freeze-thaw activity (Malaspina University College, 2005).
� Bales/wattles should be placed within a shallow trench. Trench should be excavated on contour, perpendicular to the fall of slope. Trenches should be excavated to approximately 1/2 the height of the bale/wattle.
� Trenches should be spaced according to slope and soil texture. Spacing increases as gradient decreases and as soil coarseness increases. Soil excavated from the trench should be placed on the upslope side and compacted.
� Bales/wattles should be staked in place.
6.5.6 Rip Rap Armouring
Installation of rip rap is a permanent erosion control measure that may be required when installing a culvert or bridge.
� Non-woven geotextile fabric or a granular fill should underlie the rip rap.
TIGER TOTE ROAD ESCP
FILE: W14103702-01 | NOVEMBER 14, 2016 – REVISION 1 | ISSUED FOR USE
12
Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
� Rip rap should be appropriately sized to ensure stability against the calculated hydraulic flow rates.
� All materials placed below the high water mark should be free of silt, overburden, debris or other substances deleterious to aquatic life. Rip rap should also be non-acid generating and placed individually to minimize disturbing substrates and suspending sediments in the water column
6.6 Sediment Control Measures
Sediment control is non-source control intended to prevent sediments from mobilizing to sensitive areas (e.g., into a watercourse). Sediment control is often a response to failed or weak erosion control.
6.6.1 Riparian Zone Preservation
Natural vegetation can slow surface runoff and traps sediments before they enter a watercourse. See also Section 6.5.1.
� Retain existing vegetation where possible (i.e., limited to the required right-of-way). Established vegetation is more effective at minimizing erosion and sedimentation than newly planted vegetation.
� Where possible, brush and trees should be cut at ground height and root structures left in place to provide soil stability and minimize erosion and sedimentation.
� Clearly mark, flag or fence vegetation or areas where vegetation will be preserved and ensure Contractors are aware of the limits of the work area.
� Where possible, do not locate construction traffic routes, spoil piles, stockpiles, etc., where vegetation will be covered or trampled.
6.6.2 Slope Texturing
Rough soil surfaces retain more water and soil than smooth surfaces. Slope texturing is appropriate on both slopes and over large, flat areas that will not be immediately seeded or otherwise stabilized. This measure is most appropriate on soils with some clay content and may not work on coarse gravels.
� Tracked equipment should move across an area, perpendicular to the fall of the slope.
� Limit to one or two passes to minimize soil compaction.
6.6.3 Silt Fencing
A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier consisting of permeable geotextile fabric and supporting posts anchored into the ground. Silt fences trap sediment in two ways: by intercepting and detaining small amounts of water from disturbed areas during construction operations, in order to promote sediment settling behind the fence; and by decreasing the velocity of flow. Silt fencing does not “filter” sediments from water.
� For this Project, silt fencing may be installed:
− As a separation of the construction activities and the watercourse. Silt fencing should be installed on-contour, parallel to the watercourse;
− Perimeter control around active work area;
− Perimeter control around long term stockpiles (i.e., those present for more than one week);

Tiger Tote Road ESCP.docx
� Proper placement and installation of silt fencing is essential to the functionality of this measure. Silt fencing should be installed on-contour. The embedded image illustrates proper installation of silt fencing (Ontario Ministry of Transportation, 2015); and
� Silt fencing should be regularly inspected and maintained. Silt fencing should be replaced when sediment build up reaches ½ the height of the fence or 0.2 m.

7.0 MAINTENANCE AND REMOVAL OF MEASURES
All temporary and permanent erosion and sediment control measures should be maintained and repaired as needed to assure continued performance of their intended function.
Temporary measures used during construction should be inspected daily and required maintenance or repairs done immediately. Inspection and repair should also occur following significant precipitation events.
All temporary measures (such as ditches, polyethylene sheeting or silt fencing) should be removed within 14 days of installation of permanent measures or stabilization (such as seeding or landscaping).
8.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Erosion and sediment control failures are possible and are most likely to occur during extreme precipitation events.
� An “adaptive management” strategy should be adopted for the Project. Adaptive management evaluates and adjusts management decisions (i.e., mitigation measures) to reflect the actual interactions. Changes to the ESCP are primarily the responsibility of the EM, however the on-site environmental representative and all contractors should be prepared to change existing measures and BMPs should they fail or in the event additional measures are required. The EM should be notified of any changes to ensure they are adequate and installed properly.
� Monitor weather forecasts to be aware of predicted precipitation events.
� Stockpile, or have readily available, supplies of erosion and sediment control materials on-site such as (but not limited to) rock, gravel, grass seed, silt fencing, straw bales, staking, polyethylene sheeting, etc.
� Have a list of trained personnel and their contact information as well as equipment and operators potentially available on short notice for response.
� Have a plan for shutdown of construction activities due to inclement weather. This may include:
− Checking existing erosion and sediment control measures for functionality; and
− Adding additional measures (such as silt fencing, ditches, berms or pond areas).
� If full-time environmental monitoring is not being conducted, the EM should be consulted prior to periods of anticipated heavy precipitation to determine if additional measures will be required. The EM should conduct a site visit following all periods of heavy precipitation to ensure installed measures are functioning or if they need repair/clean out.
� Should sediment laden water be released to a watercourse, an incident report should be prepared and document what corrective actions were taken as well as who was notified of the incident.
� Any releases of sediment laden water to a watercourse should be reported to the EM, the project manager and appropriate regulatory authorities. For this Project, if significant amounts of sediment laden water enter a watercourse, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) should be contacted. DFO Whitehorse Regional Office - 867.393.6722.

To be used in conjunction with Tiger Tote Road Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, October, 2016 (Tetra Tech EBA File: W14103702-01).*Measures and placement will vary at each watercourse crossing and should be determined on-site by a qualified Environmental Monitor.
1. Delineate/Mark Work Area:-extent of work area visibly marked with flagging tape or snow fencing-restrict disturbance to minimum area possible; use existing disturbance where possible-retain as much vegetation as possible
2. Staging and Laydown:-located as far from watercourse as possible, on stable, flat surface.-if necessary, install silt fencing on downslope side, on contour
3. Access & Equipment-limit access to single points, preferably on existing disturbance-stabilize with rig mats or gravel as necessary-equipment will work from top of bank as much as possible and minimize track movement
4. Stockpiles-placed as far from watercourse as possible-silt fencing installed around perimeter-polyethylene sheeting available for cover
5. Road & Temporary Ditching-divert surface runoff towards well-vegetated areas-trench spoils placed on upslope side-straw bales/wattles may be installed on downslope side of ditch (in low traffic areas)-road should be graded and ditched to encourage runoff to vegetated areas, rather than directly into watercourse
6. Temporary Diversion -pump should be within secondary containment-diversion water discharged downstream over stable surface (rocks, logs, other energy dissipater)-water pumped from isolation area should be discharged upland to a well-vegetated area
7. Silt Fencing-installed on contour-appropriate locations vary with topography, but generally include top of bank (parallel to watercourse), around base of stockpiles and downslope of areas with high disturbance.
8. Rip Rap-rip rap installed to armour crossing structures will be clean, non-acid generating and placed individually.
9. Site Stabilization-disturbances outside the Road right-of-way should be stabilized at completion of work-depending on season this may include: seeding, mulching, polyethylene sheeting, RECP, slope texturing
