Introduction
1.1
Background
Niblett Environmental Associates Inc. (NEA) was retained by CH2M Hill Canada Limited to
prepare the Natural Environment Component of an Environmental Assessment Report for
the Township of South Glengarry for the proposed construction of the following:







Water storage tanks;
Water booster pumping stations;
Transmission lines passing through Martintown, Apple Hill and Dominionville
carrying water to Maxville and Alexandria;
Construction of a storage reservoir to provide fire protection and emergency
storage in Maxville;
Water distribution system in Maxville;
Connection to the existing Alexandria water treatment plant which is to be
converted to a high lift pumping station.
Overall Water supply system from Cornwall north
This report is the second phase of our study and will examine the natural features and/or
species at risk that may be impacted by the development and ways to mitigate potential
negative impacts. The study area for this report was a distance of 100 metres either side of
the preferred route for the Glengarry Regional Water Supply Project as outlined in the
mapping accompanying the CH2MHILL Environmental Assessment Report.
This document was written to accompany the NEA report, Existing Conditions Report

PN 12-069
completed, dated Oct 11, 2012 (NEA, 2012). The Existing Conditions report focused on
four (4) main components of the proposed water supply project occurring in four locations
within the study area, Cashion Road, Martintown and Maxville. The Existing Conditions
Report (NEA 2012) has been included as Appendix I to this report for ease of reading. The
location descriptions and scope of information collected and included with the report have
been summarized in Table 1.

1.2
Study Area
The study area for this project extends from the northern limits of Cornwall, through
Martintown, Apple Hill and extending to Maxville and Alexandria, totaling approximately
44km of road length. The transmission line will be located within the road allowance
throughout the entire study area. Therefore, field investigations focused on the immediate
environmental features within 100m of the road allowance along the length of the routing.
The main natural features investigated within the study area included watercourses,
wetlands, woodlands and potential Species at Risk habitat.
1.3
General Description of Natural Environment
The study area is located primarily within rural areas north of Cornwall. The study area
contains several ecosystems and natural area types such as watercourses, wetlands, young
and mature woodlands, open fields and meadows and manicured and maintained open
spaces (urban park). Five watersheds are present within the study area.
The main natural environmental features found during field investigations within the study
were:







Four (4) Provincially Significant Wetlands (Summerstown Swamp, Beaudette River
Swamp, Loch Garry Marsh, Highway 43 Swamp);
Four (4) evaluated non-significant wetlands (classified as “Other”) (Raisin River
North Branch and Maxville Swamp, Four corners wetland and Junction
Swamp)(Raisin River North) treated as significant due to Species at Risk;
One (1) deer wintering yard;
Thirty-eight (38) watercourse crossings;
Twenty-four (24) woodlot crossings;

Methodology
2.1
General Approach
Our approach to preparation of the existing conditions report consisted of three distinct
phases.
In the first phase, we collected available information on the entire water line routing,
including the most recent air photography available, key natural features GIS mapping,
wetland mapping and Official plan schedules. Other information that is readily available on
the site included key natural heritage features on the MNR GIS mapping; Natural Heritage
Information Centre database; and other correspondence or files. In addition to information
available from MNR and the municipality, several additional sources were reviewed to
complete the literature review. These sources included the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas
data (both Cadman, 1987 and 2001-2005 field data), the National Heritage Information
Centre, Ontario Herpetofaunal Atlas (Oldham & Weller, 2000) , Ontario Mammal Atlas
(Dobbyn, 1994) and the Royal Ontario Museum.
The second phase consisted of site visits by our terrestrial/wetland and fisheries biologists
to confirm the data collected in the literature review and collect additional information on
species presence including vegetation, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians and mammal use.
Vegetation information included dominant communities using Ecological Land
Classification (ELC), regeneration and disturbance. All communities within the options for
proposed development were visited and boundaries of the outer edge, interior habitat,
vernal pools, ephemeral channels, wetlands and wildlife documented. All features and
boundaries were marked with a GPS unit to ensure accurate mapping of boundaries.
Wetland features were delineated following the methodologies of the Ontario Wetland
Evaluation System (MNR, Third Edition manual, 1993 and updates). The presence of
Species at Risk was confirmed during the site visits based on our literature review and
documented species in the area. Particular focus was placed on the search for the presence
of the endangered butternut tree.
The final phase consisted of preparing a summary report of the existing conditions within
the study area based upon both the literature review and field surveys. The report focuses
on the key natural features and includes a detailed assessment of their features and
5
PN 12-069
ecological functions.
2.2
Detailed Study Methods
2.2.1 Vegetation
All vegetation communities were visited and species composition of dominant species
determined. Community type criteria followed MNR’s Ecological Land Classification for
Southern Ontario (ELC) program (Lee et al., 1998) and were determined to the Vegetation
Type level. Detailed plant inventories were not conducted at each crossing or in all
communities due to the size of the study area and the reconnaissance level assessment
being conducted at the preliminary design stage. Surveys were conducted on two field
visits of two days each, September 11th and 12th and October 17th, 18th of 2012.
Photographs and/or specimens were taken of plants requiring verification of identification.
National, provincial and regional significance of species and communities was determined
from accepted status lists and published reference lists such as SARA (2011), Ontario
Endangered Species Act (June 30th, 2007), COSEWIC (2012), COSSARO (2012), Argus et al.
(1982-1990), NHIC (2009), Newmaster et al. (1998) and Cuddy (1991).
Notes were made on soil type, depth, topography, drainage and present disturbance.
2.2.2 Birds and Other Wildlife
As surveys were conducted outside of the peak breeding bird period, potential habitat for
birds was documented. Incidental observations were made for any birds and other wildlife
including herpetozoa and mammals. Observations included direct sightings as well as
indirect evidence such as calls, trails, tracks, scat, browse, burrows and nests. Any potential
for significant wildlife habitat features was also examined.
2.2.3 Fisheries
Fish community data was obtained through a desktop review of exiting fisheries
information. Electrofishing sample data was obtained from the Royal Ontario Museum
(ROM) for most of the watercourses within the study area. NEA did not conduct fish
6
PN 12-069
community sampling for this project. Fish community sampling may be required to fill data
gaps in the detailed design phase.
NEA fisheries biologists were on site October 17th & 18th 2012, to identify aquatic natural
features and perform preliminary aquatic habitat assessments. Biologist performed
surveys of the aquatic habitat, riparian vegetation communities, in-water and overhead
cover, substrate composition, and aquatic habitat types for all defined watercourses within
the road allowance. Survey methods followed the MTO protocol and NEA internal site
assessment protocol.
In addition, local water quality parameters were collected at the six (6) major permanent
watercourse crossings within the study site. Measured parameters included, turbidity
(NTU), dissolved oxygen (mg/L), pH, conductivity (mS), total dissolved solids (mg/L) and
water temperature (°C) using a handled YSI Pro2030 System.
Surveyed aquatic natural features were assigned a site number and photo-documented.
2.2.4 Linkages and Corridors
The occurrence of linkages and corridors and connectivity between core natural areas was
assessed based on field work and existing literature. Observations of bird, mammal and
herpetozoa movements will be made through the spring and summer period and
information from previous reports reviewed to determine the presence of linkages to core
natural areas.

Key Natural Features
A detailed background literature search of the study area and our field inventories
identified several natural heritage features, significant and/or rare species and vegetation
on or adjacent to the proposed alignments (Figures 2A-2R). The figures are appended to
the report and were scaled to show the features along each section of the preferred
alternative route.

Wetlands
Four (4) provincially significant wetlands (PSW’s), four (4) non-significant evaluated
wetlands (labelled as ‘Other’ on report figures) were found within the study area. The
provincially significant wetlands included: Summerstown Swamp; Beaudette River Swamp;
Loch Garry Marsh; and Highway 43 Swamp. Raisin River North Branch, Maxville Swamp,
Four Corners Wetland and Junction Swamp were evaluated wetlands identified as nonsignificant. Raisin River North shall be treated as significant due to the presence of several
species at risk records within that area. There were no unevaluated wetlands within the
study area greater than 2 ha.
3.1.1 Summerstown Swamp Provincially Significant Wetland
Key wetland functions and features of the Summerstown Swamp PSW identified through
the Natural Areas Report (NHIC) are:
8
PN 12-069
- Nesting of colonial waterbirds (blue heron), winter cover for wildlife (Deer), Waterfowl
production
- Significant for fish spawning and rearing (Northern Pike, common white sucker)
- Nesting of colonial water birds (green heron, great blue heron)
- 12% bog, 1% marsh, 87 % swamp (3 wetland types)
- Resource products (bullfrog, snapping turtles)
- Furbearers (Muskrat, Raccoon, Beaver, mink, fox, coyote)

3.1.4 Highway 43 Swamp Provincially Significant Wetland
Key wetland functions and features of the Highway 43 Swamp PSW are identified through
-Three wetland types (8% bog, 88% swamp, 4% marsh)
-Nesting of colonial water birds
-Winter cover for wildlife (Snowshoe hare, rouffed grouse)
-Significant fish spawning and rearing (baitfish)
-Resource products (Snapping turtle)
-Furbearers (Muskrat, raccoon, beaver, mink)
3.1.5 Non-Provincially Significant Raisin River North Branch Wetland (Treated as
Significant)
The Raisin River North Branch Wetland was evaluated in 1988 as a non-provincially
significant wetland however correspondence with MNR (Shaun Thompson, Oct 10, 2012)
determined several species at risk in the area which would likely make this wetland
provincially significant if evaluated today. It is for this reason the wetland was treated as
significant.
Key wetland functions and features of the Raisin River North Branch Wetland identified
through MNR correspondence and review of the Natural Areas Report (NHIC):
-Two (2) wetland types (3% swamp and 97% marsh)
-Nesting of colonial waterbirds (active area for Great Blue Herons)
-Significance for fish spawning and rearing- regional significance
-Furbearers (Muskrat, Raccoon, Beaver)
-Species at Risk (4 species) (Correspondence with MNR)
Within the study area the wetland corresponded with the emergent vegetation and the
10
PN 12-069
riparian zone located along the Raisin River. The boundaries of these areas, as determined
on the site visit in 2012 were generally the same as those determined by MNR.
3.1.6 Non-Provincially Significant Maxville Swamp
Key wetland functions and features of the Maxville Swamp identified through review of the
Natural Areas Report (NHIC):
-Made of five (5) individual wetlands with two wetland types
(92.8% swamp and 7.2% marsh)
-Winter cover for wildlife (local significance for deer)
-Resource products
-Furbearers (Muskrat, beaver, mink, fox coyote)

PN 12-069
3.3
Watercourses/ Fish Habitat
The study site runs through multiple watersheds, including Gray’s Creek, Raisin River,
Delisle River, a Delisle River Tributary, Baudet River and Loch Garry River. Thirty-eight
(38) intersections of watercourses were found within the study area.
3.4
Woodlands
Twenty four (24) woodlands were found abutting the development. These woodlands
ranged from mixed forests to wooded swamps containing green, red ash and eastern white
cedar to deciduous forests. As most of the study area is rural lands, in most cases the
woodlands abutting the development were connected to a larger contiguous area of
woodland. Appendix II includes detailed descriptions of woodlands found along the
transmission line route for each watercourse crossing. Figures 2A-2R show the location of
the woodlands.
3.5
Deer Yards
One deer wintering yard was present within the study area near Maxville (Figure 2L).
3.6
Significant Wildlife Habitat (Great Blue Heron Colony)
There was one great blue heron colony identified during our background review. It is
located approximately 165 north of the alternative route on the north side of Highway 401
(Figure 2S). No other significant wildlife habitat features were identified within the study
area. Some of the wetlands do provide habitat for frogs, turtles and other herpetozoa on a
seasonal basis.
3.7
Federal and Provincial Species At Risk
3.7.1 Birds
A review of the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas data (BSC, 2007, 2001-2005) generated for the
10 x 10 km squares 18WR10, 18WR11, 18WQ19, 18WR21, 18WQ28, 18WQ18, 18WQ29
found ten (10) Species At Risk (SAR) with potential habitat present (Table 2). As the study
area was quite large and contained many different types of habitats, from coniferous and
deciduous forests to treed swamps and marshes there is potential for many SAR bird being
present.

Targeted surveys for these species were not conducted during the fall inventories due to
the time of year. The need for specific surveys for these species should be determined at
the detailed design stage.
3.7.2 Other Wildlife and Vegetation
A review of the NHIC website species geographic query of the area found fourteen (14)
additional Species at Risk within the general area (Table 3). NEA field investigations
however only found one of these species within the study area, the snapping turtle.
Although American eel was not found on the NHIC website for this area, it has been
recorded to be within the study area and there is potential habitat for this species.

Key Natural Features - Alternate Route
An alternate route was explored as another option for the watermain route to get from
Cornwall to South Glengarry. This route would extend along Tollgate Road to the east end,
cross Hwy 401 and follow along Service Rd to Boundary Rd and South to Glen Rd. As this
route was looked at after the field work was conducted for the remainder of the route only
desktop analysis was analyzed for this section.

Birds
Incidental observations of birds observed during surveys conducted by NEA found 23
species within the study area (Appendix II). Birds present included Canada goose (Branta
canadensis), turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), ringbilled gull (Larus delawarensis), belted kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon), downy woodpecker
(Picoides pubescens), hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus
pileatus), warbling vireo (Vireo gilvus) and blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata).
NEA observations included three (3) area sensitive species (Appendix II) within the study
area: the white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), the pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus
pileatus) and the hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus). Area sensitive species are species
that require a minimum hectarage of contiguous habitat to breed and maintain a
population. Large field areas and woodlands are required by some of these species to
maintain sufficient habitat. Fragmentation of woodlands in particular can lead to loss of
species that require interior forest conditions (greater than 100 metres from the edge).
5.2
Other Wildlife
Four (4) species of mammals or indications of their presence were found during the NEA
surveys including common raccoon (Procyon lotor), eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus),
beaver (Castor canadensis), muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus), eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus
carolinensis), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), coyote (Canis latrans), red fox (Vulpes
vulpes) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
Two (2) amphibian species, spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) and northern leopard frog,
were found by NEA. In addition, evidence of snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) nesting
was observed in several areas.
5.3
Vegetation
A total of 84 plant species were identified within the study area (Appendix III). The
transmission route crosses through a mostly rural area with a variety of agricultural field
types. There are several large wetland communities (e.g. Cashion Road and Summerstown
Swamp wetland) within the road allowance and adjacent lands. Woodlands are scattered
throughout with typical forest types including ash deciduous forest, coniferous forest and
19
PN 12-069
mixed forest communities. The woodlands were associated in most cases with upland
edges of wetland communities and higher elevations. The creek crossings included typical
riparian vegetation communities with bottomland tree species such as willow, ash and elm
and small wetland pockets or riparian edges of grasses, cattails and herbaceous plants.
Aquatic plant species such as milfoil, pondweeds and water lilies were found at crossings
where ponding was present or channels associated with wetland communities.
5.4
Fisheries and Fish Habitat
5.4.1 Fish Habitat
Thirty-eight (38) watercourses-road crossings were identified and surveyed within the
study area. The surveyed watercourses included Gray’s Creek, Raisin River, Delisle River,
tributaries to Delisle River, Beaudette River and Loch Garry.
Direct and indirect fish habitat was found thorough the study area. In addition, critical
habitat for aquatic species at risk has been identified by DFO in two (2) crossing sites. The
substrate generally was comprised of clay/silt, cobble, boulder, aquatic vegetation and
sand (Appendix I, Tables #1-37).
A summary of site features and identified valued aquatic ecosystem components at all
surveyed watercourse crossings has been provided in Table 5. The detailed descriptions of
each crossing and the habitat present, as well as data collected during our field
investigations are found in Appendix I. Historical Fish Data
A summary of fish species historically captured within Beaudette River, Raisin River &
Riviere Delisle and the fisheries data was compiled and is shown in Table 6.

Watercourse Crossing Impacts and Recommendations
Appendix V summarizes the potential impacts and recommendations for crossings with
valued ecosystem components.
Appendix VI contains photos of all of the crossings looking upstream and downstream.
7.0
Conclusions
Several key natural features were identified within the study area, particularly at the
crossings of the watercourses where direct fish habitat is present. The features identified
include Species at Risk (Snapping turtle, butternut, barn swallows), critical aquatic habitat
for fish species, regionally rare species, Provincially Significant Wetlands, evaluated
wetlands (Other), woodland, direct fish habitat and Significant Wildlife Habitat (blue heron
colony).
At the preliminary design stage information on the construction methods and exact
location of construction has not yet been determined. The detailed design stage can
provide more detailed recommendations once construction methods and locations are
determined. At that time a more detailed analysis of each crossing in terms of sampling
may be required to assist in determining appropriate mitigation measures including timing
24
PN 12-069
windows.
Preliminary Recommendations
The site does have potential habitat for meadowlark and bobolink based strictly on our fall
site visit and the presence of hayfield. This needs to be confirmed by completing a summer
site visit. Until then , the mitigation recommended is as follows:
1. The presence or absence of eastern meadowlark and bobolink habitat on this site will be
confirmed through breeding season site visits, conducted by a bird biologist.
2. If habitat is present, a discussion with MNR will be completed regarding a possible permit for
habitat removal/alteration as outlined under the Ontario Endangered Species Act.
3. It is recommended that any clearing of the vegetation be completed outside of the
peak breeding bird window (May 1st-July 31st),
Summerstown Swamp PSW:
1. It is recommended the construction zone be located entirely within the road ROW
or down the centre of Cashion Road.
2. Heavy weight silt fencing be placed along both sides of the road to protect the
wetlands features and functions.
3. If dewatering of the trench is required, that the water be treated to remove as much
sediment as possible(eg. Filter bag).
4. Avoid construction during the peak amphibian and bird breeding periods (April 1July 31st).
5. Restoration plan be developed for any construction laydown areas or disturbed
areas that includes native plant species.
6. Culvert replacements or installation of pipe under culverts be completed with
proper sediment and erosion control measures in place.
7. If a turtle or snake that is a Species At Risk is encountered during construction, the
animal be left alone to move through or if necessary contact NEA or MNR biologist
for advice.
8. If overhanging trees interfere with movement of large construction equipment,
those limbs should be trimmed as needed with a chainsaw.

Project Bird Species and Breeding Status List
APPENDIX II
Project Bird Status Report
Bird species observed by NEA are listed in the order followed the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) Check-list of North
American birds (7th edition, 1999, 47th Supplement). Common and scientific nomenclature are based on those used by AOU.
Any significant status for a species on national and provincial lists is displayed as well as those from relevant regional lists.
List Status : END - endangered
A wildlife species facing imminent extirpation or extinction.
END-R -endangered regulated A wildlife species facing imminent extirpation or extinction in Ontario which has been
regulated under Ontario's Endangered Species Act (ESA).
A wildlife species likely to become endangered if limiting factors are not reversed.
THR - threatened
A wildlife species that may become threatened or an endangered species because of a
SC - special concern
combination of biological characteristics and identified threats.
A wildlife species that requires large areas of suitable habitat in order to sustain their
YES - Area Sensitive
population numbers.

APPENDIX III Plan t Species by Community
Families and genera for the plant species found in this appendix are listed in taxonomic order. The species are listed
alphabetically by scientific name within each genus.
Three standard reference works were used for the botanical nomenclature and taxonomy (Newmaster et. al., 1998; Gleason and
Cronquist 1991; Voss 1980; 1985). Other published works for botanical names included; ferns (Cody and Britton 1989); grasses
(Dore and McNeill 1980); orchids (Whiting and Catling 1986); shrubs (Soper and Heimburger 1982) and trees (Farrar 1995).
