1.0 Introduction

On June 12, 2013, the Minister of Energy issued a Directive to the Independent Electricity

System Operator (IESO; formerly the Ontario Power Authority (OPA)) to develop a new

competitive process for the procurement of renewable energy projects in Ontario larger than

500 kilowatts (kW). Invenergy LLC (Invenergy) will be submitting a proposal to the IESO in

fulfillment of their Large Renewable Procurement Request for Proposals (LRP I RFP) for a

proposed 8.5 megawatt (MW) project to be known as the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (LSRA)

Solar Project (“Project”).

The LRP I RFP requires proponents to develop a meeting summary report (MSR) for each public

community meeting and post it on the Project website (www.invenergyllc.com/lsra). In

addition, the MSR must be made available to the clerk (or other designate) for the municipality

in which the Project is located.

This report summarizes the public community meeting held for the Project at the Old Town

Hall, located at 833 Line 7 North at the 15/16th Sideroad, Oro-Medonte, Ontario, on August 4,

2015, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The purpose of the public community meeting was to introduce

the Project and obtain input on the planning and design process. This document builds upon

the community engagement plan (CEP) developed for the Project.

This table provides the responses to comments received from agencies, the public and Aboriginal communities at, or following, the public

community meeting required per the Large Renewable Procurement Request for Proposals (LRP I RFP). The LRP I RFP is a qualifying process

being led by the Independent Electricity System Operators (IESO). The IESO has not awarded any applicant with the rights to construct a project

at this time. Invenergy LLC, like other applicants, is preparing to submit a proposal for this project to the IESO. The proposal submission

deadline is September 1, 2015 and the IESO’s proposal evaluation process will run until November/ December 2015. It is expected that successful

LRP I RFP applicants will commence the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) process if they are awarded a project by the IESO. This process

includes additional requirements and consultation which would likely commence in 2016.

Landowner Need for site screening If Invenergy is successful and awarded a contract

for the project, Invenergy will be required to

follow the REA process and will work with the

local municipality and community to determine

the appropriate level of visual screening for the

project.

Landowner Decommissioning plans If Invenergy is successful and awarded a contract

for the project, Invenergy will be required to

follow the REA process. The proponent will be

required to complete a variety of technical reports

including a project description report,

construction plan report, consultation report,

design and operations report and a

decommissioning plan report.

All projects that require an REA must meet

stringent decommissioning requirements.

During the REA process, a Decommissioning

Plan Report will be developed which will address

procedures for dismantling or demolishing the

facility, abandonment of the project, activities

related to the restoration of any land and water

negatively affected by the facility, and procedures

for managing excess materials and waste.

Invenergy is prepared to execute a Municipal

Agreement with the township, which will include

assurances for decommissioning and

decommissioning security.

Landowner Impacts to agricultural lands The IESO non-rooftop solar rules stipulate that

solar facilities cannot be placed on Prime

Agricultural land. In order for this project to be

bid into the IESO Large Renewable Procurement

Request for Proposals, Invenergy would have to

demonstrate that the project is not occupying

Prime Agricultural land.

During the REA process, a Decommissioning

Plan Report will be developed which will address

procedures for dismantling or demolishing the

facility, abandonment of the project, activities

related to the restoration of any land and water

Community Member Where do you propose to locate the

electrical line connecting the project to

the interconnection point?

The proposed connection line would be located in

the Line 6 North municipal right of way on the

same side of the road as the existing pole line, the

result being the connection line and the existing

power line would then share the same hydro

poles. If the project proceeds, Invenergy will

consult with Hydro One to determine what poles

are required (existing or new) to accommodate

the new lines for the project.

Community Member Other large solar projects in the area

involved surface grading and concrete

pouring during the construction of

foundations, potentially difficult to

restore during decommissioning

While the type of project foundation will not be

determined until a geotechnical study is

completed, Invenergy prefers to use either helical

pile or ballast foundations for solar panels.

Helical piles are screwed directly into the

subsurface and ballast foundations rest on the

surface. There is little movement of surface

material, and no concrete is required for either

Community Member Community Benefit Fund (CBF) If the Project is awarded a contract, Invenergy

would establish a CBF and provide an annual

contribution of funds per megawatt for the

duration of the solar plant’s operations. The terms

of the CBF, including the amount, will be

outlined in a Municipal Agreement with the

Township of Oro-Medonte.

Phone Community member Where will the connection line be

located?

The proposed connection line for the solar project

would run in the municipal right of way along

Line 6 North, and is proposed to maintain the

same location as the current poles now occupy

(on the North East side of Road). If the project

moves forward, we would consult with Hydro

One to determine the upgrades required to the

existing pole infrastructure to accommodate the

new lines for the project. We anticipate that the

current single phase pole configuration would be

upgraded to a three-phase pole configuration.

included pictures of a three-phase pole

configuration from one of Invenergy’s 10 MW

projects developed and built near Lindsay,

Ontario. Invenergy expects the connection line

poles for the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport

project to look similar.
