CNSOPB OFFSHORE PETROLEUM BOARD
April 18, 2017
Mayor Rachel Bailey

Town of Lunenburg
PC Box 129
Lunenburg, NS BOJ 2C0
Dear Mayor Bailey:
The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPR) has been made aware
of inaccurate statements that are circulating on social media sites regarding regulatory
approvals, authorizations and spill response. As the regulator of oil and gas activities in
the Nova Scotia offshore area, part of our role is to serve the publics interest by being
open and transparent in providing factual information to the public. With this in mind, the
Board would like to provide the Town of Lunenburg with facts on the statements that have
been circulating.
STATEMENT: BP currently has regulatory clearance to drill up to seven wells on Nova

Scotias Scotian Shelf.
FACT: BP does not currently have regulatory approval to drill any wells. In 2013, BP
was awarded exploratory licences by the CNSOPB which means they have exclusive
right to make an application to explore in those licence areas. To do this, BP would need
to submit an application requesting authorization to drill. At this time, BP has started the
formal environmental assessment process for a drilling project under the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 with the Canadian Environmental Assessment
Agency. Should BP successfully complete the environmental assessment, they will then
need to apply for authorization from the CNSOPB to drill a well.
STATEMENT: The semi-submersible Great White is reportedly on its way from

Singapore to the Scotian Shelf for BPs drilling program.
FACT: Seadrill Limited announced on April 7, 2017 that BP has contracted the West
Aquarius for its drilling program, subject to regulatory approval by the CNSOPB to begin
a drilling program. The West Aquarius is a semi-submersible drilling rig that has safely
drilled a number of deep water wells offshore of Newfoundland and Labrador.
STATEMENT: BPs last effort at an exploratory well used the drill rig Deep Water
Horizon. That well ended with the largest oil spill in history.
FACT: It is the Boards understanding that BP has drilled dozens of deep water wells
safely since the Deepwater Horizon incident in March 2010.

8th Floor TD Centre 1791 Barrington Street Halifax Nova Scotia B3J 3K9 Canada I Tel: 902-422-5588 Fax 902-422-1799 www.cnsopb.ns.ca
STATEMENT: This permission was given without any public hearings and without any
chance for any of us in the Impacted Communities or any of us who are Stakeholders
on the Scotian Shelf a chance to question BP in a regulatory setting.
FACT: As stakeholders, the public are provided with ways to participate, ask questions,
and express their views about any oil and gas activity in the Nova Scotia offshore area.
The Canada Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) process provides multiple
opportunities for public and stakeholder input as well as federal funding to support
stakeholder participation.
In addition, the regulatory processes require BP to engage with stakeholders and it is our
understanding that they have been doing this since the licences have been issued in
2013.
The fishing community is also engaged in the process through the CNSOPBs Fisheries
Advisory Committee (FAC). FAC is comprised of representatives of the fishing industry,
CNSOPB staff and other government departments, whose role it is to share information
and provide advice on offshore oil and gas activities in Nova Scotia.
STATEMENT: BP currently has regulatory clearance to drill up to 7 exploratory

wells.. .with no capacity to clean up any large oil spill and, if there is a spill, with the
capacity to pump chemical dispersants into the water column.
FACT: BP does not currently have regulatory approval to drill any wells. Furthermore,
an authorization to carry out exploration or production activity by an operator cannot be
issued until the spill response plan is accepted by the CNSOPB. This plan must include
a risk assessment and detailed descriptions of how an operator plans to respond should
there be an oil spill up to and including any large spill. Offshore operators must also
demonstrate that they have the necessary equipment and trained personnel prepared to
respond to a spill. This includes having agreements in place with internationally
recognized leaders in spill response to bring in necessary industry equipment and
resources that would be deployed if there was a large oil spill.
No operator is permitted to use dispersants without authorization from the CNSOPB. In

making the decision, the CNSOPB would rely on the best available science, evidence,
facts and input from government experts to determine if a dispersant will provide an
overall net benefit to the environment.
The CNSOPB is committed to providing strong regulatory oversight to ensure a safe and
environmentally responsible development of Nova Scotias offshore.
If you would like more information on the regulatory process or the offshore oil and gas
activities in Nova Scotia, please contact CNSOPBs Director of Communications, Stacy
ORourke at (902) 410-6402 or by email sorourkecnsopb.ns.ca.
Best Regards,
Stuart Pinks
Chief Executive Officer

Three Government Budgets *
Municipalities collect $0.08 of every tax dollar paid in Canada yet are responsible for one half of the country's core infrastructure.
Without access to revenues that grow with the economy and without sufficient long-term investments by other senior governments,
municipalities continue to face a structural gap between their growing responsibilities and the resources they have to meet them.

be available to LDFD again in 2019. The 10 years will be up on all our turnout gear then & some are
failing testing now. The 10 year replacement is only done for Interior Fighting Force (Level 1 Breathing

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The transfers from the Operating fund and other Provincial/Federal funding for this department is held in the
Towns Capital Reserve Fund. The Capital Reserve Fund consists of the following monies reserved for Public
Works related capital purposes:
Public Works Equipment
The Public Works Department has been planning for future capital expenditures by allocating $20,000 per year
to the Town Capital Reserve fund from the Operating fund. These transfers have been made annually since
2005.
Site Closure
The Town, in partnership with the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg and the Towns of Bridgewater and
Mahone Bay operated a waste disposal site at Whynotts Settlement. The Town of Lunenburg withdrew from
the jointly operated site on March 31, 2012. The majority of the closure costs were spent in 2014/15 by the Site
Operator with future site monitoring costs left. The Towns share has been accrued but not paid out.
Federal Gas Tax
The Federal Gas Tax Program will allocate approximately $180,000 to the Town to be spent on capital projects
per the Towns Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). The ICSP is part of the Towns Municipal
Planning Strategy. Qualifying capital projects must demonstrate specific outcomes such as cleaner air,
cleaner water, or lower greenhouse gases. These are reported to the Federal Government through the
Provincial Gas Tax Secretariat in the form of an Annual Expenditure Report (AER). As well, a 5-year Capital
Investment Plan (CIP) must be submitted in a prescribed form. The CIP mirrors the 10 year capital plan in the
Towns approved budget and only includes those projects as identified in the approved budget.
Deed Transfer Tax
The Town receives 1% of the sale price for all property sales in the Town. The Registry of Deed collects these
funds on the Towns behalf when deeds are registered, and remits the funds collected to the Town monthly.
These monies are held in the Town Capital Reserve Fund and used for capital expenditures as set out in By-
Law #60. Staff estimates the annual Deed Transfer Tax revenue and budgets it as funding for capital
expenditures.

Buildings & Structures
Duke Street Stairway Repairs
The lower portion of this stairway was repaired in the 2016/17 Capital budget. The remaining work to
complete this project includes replacement of pavers on the middle landing, replacement of the lower
stairs and moving back the granite blocks adjacent to the upper stairs.
Sewers/Pollution Control
Brook Street Pumping Station Wet Well Replacement (2018/19)
These pipes were inspected during our routine summer inspections of the Pumping Station and it was
determined that they should be replaced. The estimated cost of replacement is $70,000. This project
came in over budget in the 2016/17 Capital budget and is being deferred until the Brook Street
Upgrades are complete in 2017. The piping in the other pumping stations will be inspected in the
summer of 2017 to determine future replacement requirements.
Brook/Tupper Sewer Upgrades
The Brook Street Storm and Sanitary Sewer Upgrades tender includes the separation of the storm and
sanitary sewers as well as the reconstruction of Brook Street (Tupper Street to Brook Street Pumping
Station) and Tupper Streets (Brook Street to Broad Street), realignment of the intersection at Brook
Street and Victoria Road and the installation of water gardens on both sides of the intersection at Brook
Street and Victoria Road. The budgeted amount for this project is $2,230,000 which includes
construction cost, engineering fees, geotechnical fees, contingency and net HST. The project was
awarded to Dexter Construction in January 2017 and is scheduled to start in April and be completed in
September 2017. Please note: this budget will be expended over two fiscal years 2016/17 &
2017/18.
Pelham Street between Hopson Street and Shipyard Hill Road
The existing 4 and 6 inch diameter watermains will be replaced with an 8 inch diameter PVC waterline.
The project also includes the installation of a new storm and sanitary sewer, new water and sewer
laterals to the street line and street reconstruction. The construction tender was awarded April 11,
2017. The estimated cost for this project is $1,078,000 and includes construction costs, engineering,
contingency and Net HST ($467,800 Water and $610,200 Sewer). Please note: this budget will be
expended over two fiscal years 2016/17 & 2017/18.
Lincoln Street between King and Kempt Streets
The existing 6 inch diameter watermain will be replaced with an 8 inch diameter PVC waterline. The
project also includes the installation of a new storm and sanitary sewer, new water and sewer laterals
to the street line and street reconstruction. The construction tender was awarded April 11, 2017. The
estimated cost for this project is $1,122,000 and includes construction costs, engineering, contingency
and Net HST ($469,000 Water and $653,000 Sewer). Please note: this budget will be expended
over two fiscal years 2016/17 & 2017/18.
Bluenose Drive Check Valve
Sewer odours are venting through catch basins at the intersection of Bluenose Drive and Montague
Street. In order to prevent these odours from venting through catch basins at this intersection we
propose to install a check valve on the storm sewer where it discharges into the Front Harbour.
Chemical Feed System to SCADA
The chemical feed equipment is currently not monitored by the SCADA system. If the chemical feed
system shuts down or malfunctions the operator needs to be notified immediately to ensure the
treatment system continues to operate effectively and untreated wastewater does not discharge into
the Front Harbour.
Spare Flow Meter and Impeller
These spare parts are required to ensure that both DAF units continue to operate at all times. If either
of these parts were to fail we would only be able to operate one of the DAF units and treat half the wet
weather flows. These parts should on hand in the event either were to fail they could be immediately
replaced.
DRAFT Page 79 of 98
Replacement Air Tank for the Compressor
The air compressor was overhauled last fall and we observed that the air tank on the compressor is
corroding on the interior. The water drain line from this tank is being blocked by rust in the interior
preventing it from draining and this affects the quality of air being distributed to equipment throughout
the plant. This tank needs to be replaced.
Install Grit Pumps/Piping Headworks
Two grit pumps are used to remove solids from the waste stream which settle in tanks in the
headworks. Removing these solids with a sucker truck is not cost effective and two new pumps we
purchased need to be installed. A general contractor will be hired to do this work which includes
fabrication of supports for the pumps in the tanks, piping including supports to direct this waste to the
clarifier, electrical and checking the grit pumps SCADA operating parameters.
WWTP Pump Macerator
The macerator will be used to grind and reduce the size of particles in the sludge line between the DAF
units and the dewatering equipment. Human hair and other particles cause blockages in sludge lines
which have to be physically removed by plant operators. Down time will be reduced and plant operators
will perform more important functions if the macerator is purchased.
Parks & Playgrounds
Boat Launch Site
Phase 1 (2016 budget) of the Boat Launch Site was awarded to Eagle Beach Contractors Limited in the
amount of $164,760 plus HST. Work is to be completed in March 2017.
Phase 2 (2017 budget) at a cost of $53,500 includes the installation of a floating dock and catwalk
which will be tendered and repairs to the rock wall and landscaping by Public Works.
Renewals-Sidewalks/Curbs
Duke Townsend to Fox (W) and Duke Fox to York (W)
These sidewalks are in poor condition and should be replaced.
Tannery Road Seawall Replacement
The existing timber cribs which support the shoulder of Tannery Road are in very poor condition.
Recently during a severe storm sections of the wall collapsed and required immediate repairs. Eighty
feet of damaged timber crib retaining wall opposite Cove Park had to be removed and replaced with
granite rock. The remaining 950 feet should also be replaced and this is proposed to be carried out
over three (3) years. The estimated cost to replace the existing timber cribs with granite rock along the
remainder of Tannery Road is $175,000 including a contingency and net HST. The cost for year one (1)
which will include replacement of 300 feet of this wall is $55,000 including a contingency and net HST.
This work in the fiscal 2017/18 year will continue from where we left off opposite Cove Park towards
Town.
New Sidewalks/Curbing
Tannery Road - Knickle to 97 Tannery Road (E)
Ongoing discussions with property owners took place during the 2016/17 Capital budget. As these
discussions were delayed the intent is to complete the remaining legal/survey work and prepare the site
for construction of this sidewalk in 2018/19 Capital budget. Site preparation includes the removal and
planting of trees/shrubs, relocate obstructions (ornamental light, stairs) and relocate power poles.
Pavement Renewals/Overlays
No projects identified for the 2017/18 budget.
Street Reconstruction
York Prince to Hopson and Lawrence - Prince to King
These streets are in very poor condition and need to be reconstructed. Pavement overlays are not an
option on these streets as the paved surface shows signs of base failure and the gravels must be
replaced.
Chipsealing
DRAFT Page 80 of 98
James Road Victoria Road to Tower Hill Road
The existing street is in poor condition and needs to be resealed to prevent further deterioration of the
street surface.
Equipment
CAT Backhoe (04) Replacement
The 2004 backhoe is 13 years old and requires ongoing repairs at significant cost. Where this piece of
equipment is used daily in maintaining our municipal infrastructure it is critical that a replacement be
purchased.
Tack Coat Sprayer
Colas (tack) is used to bond existing asphalt to new asphalt when repairs are carried out
throughout the Town. Pouring and brushing colas onto existing cuts waste a lot of colas and
this tack sprayer will pay for itself within a few years.
Future Capital (2018/19+) Requirements
Building & Structures
Overhead Door Blue Building
The wooden door on the west side of the blue building is in poor condition and should be replaced with
an overhead door.
Sewers/Pollution Control
WWTP Odour Control Headworks, Process Room & Aeration Building Year 2 of a 2 Year Project
CBCL Limited carried out an Odour Control Study for the Waste Water Treatment Plant in 2011. The
study recommended that a bio-filter be installed to control odours from the headworks, process room
and aeration building. The detailed design was awarded to CBCL Limited in August 2016 which is now
complete and the project is tender ready. The total cost for this project is $1,100,000 which includes
construction costs, construction supervision, contingency and net HST.
Morash/Wolff Sewer Upgrades
According to the 2013 ABL report there are two sewers which do not meet current day standards and
should be replaced to prevent storm water from backing up into the system. The estimated cost of
$133,000 could be funded through Gas Tax Funds if available.
WWTP Improve Treatment Process
Upgrades to the DAF units are required to improve treated water quality. The estimated cost of
$250,000 and could be funded through a combination of Gas Tax Funds and a capital borrowing.
WWTP Generator
This project was identified in a report by CBCL and is required to maintain power which will eliminate
odours generated during a power outage.
Old Town Storm Drainage Study
This project has been deferred since 2013/14. As part of long term planning in Old Town, an
engineering firm should be hired to determine a course of action to separate wastewater from storm
water in Old Town. This study can be funded with Gas Tax Funds.
New Sidewalks/Curbing
Lincoln Day care Entrance to Linden (S/S)
There is no sidewalk on this side of Lincoln Street and this new sidewalk walk would provide a safe
place to walk between the intersection of Linden Avenue and the Daycare.
DRAFT Page 81 of 98
Pelham Kaulback to Cornwallis (N/S)
There is no sidewalk on either side of Pelham Street between Kaulback and Cornwallis Streets. A
sidewalk is required to provide a safe place for pedestrian traffic. The estimated cost is $25,000.
Parks & Playgrounds
Back Harbour Trail access from Kinley Drive
The Active Transportation Committee is recommending the creation of a new access point to the Back
Harbour Trail from the base of Kinley Drive. A large apartment complex is situated close to this
location and a lot of seniors reside in this neighbourhood. Therefore, having a safe, easily negotiated
access point to the trail will encourage greater use by residents in this area. They are seeking a safe
route to travel to walk for leisure or to provide access to the downtown and shopping area without
having to deal with steep hills and vehicular traffic.
Equipment
John Deere Tractor (05) Cemetery
This lawn tractor is in poor condition and a replacement is required in order to maintain the cemetery.

CAPITAL BUDGET NOTES
Air Handling System Repairs (2017/18)

The air handling system ties directly into the boilers and heating system and therefore it would have been
better if these two items were repaired at the same time. However the replacement cost of the boilers was
more than expected and there was still electrical work required from the previous work done on the boilers that
was not completed. It was more important to have the boilers and all work completed on them right away. The
air handling system is scheduled to be repaired in the Capital Budget 2017/18.
Future (2017/18+) Capital Requirements
Exhaust Extraction System
The exhaust extraction system is not as important where there is an exhaust system in the building and the
doors are put up when vehicles are running it should be alright to remove the extraction system from the
Capital Budget. It was added because at the time it was discussed at a Fire Service Association of N.S. annual
meeting that it would be a safety requirement soon. If it does become a requirement we can put it back in the
Capital Budget.
Fire Service Breathing Air Packs (2022/23)
Firefighting Breathing air packs are to be replaced every 10 years according to NFPA 1953.
Truck Replacement
According to the Truck Replacement Study we commissioned and reports on our vehicles, our vehicles should
be replaced every 20 years with the exception of our small vehicles which would require more frequent
replacement.
Long Term Capital Replacement Plan
The Truck Committee and Protective Services Committee are reviewing the capital replacement and fund-
raising requirements of all fire equipment in order to update the long term capital plan.

ICE RESURFACER RESERVE
The committee has recommended a replacement reserve be started for this piece of equipment in the amount
of $25,000. Options will be explored in 2017/18 for the replacement of this critical piece of equipment.
Currently the resurfacer is included in the 2018/19 for capital replacement. The Committee has listed this

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES DESCRIPTIONS
Arena
Sprinkler System Upgrades
The most recent inspection of the sprinkler recommended a number of replacements including the dry
valve and face plate gasket and air line/air maintenance device re-piping.
Arena - Doors
The arena doors are in need of replacement and it is recommended that there be 2 steel doors that have a
remote operational control for ease of accessibility.
Community Centre
Roof Assessment (2017/18)
The roof at the Community Centre is a flat roof. The Municipal Climate Change Action Plan recommended that
all flat roofs be assessed for structural integrity for their capacity to handle snow load.
Grounds/Fields
Disc Golf Course
Installation of a disc golf course in the area above the track and soccer field.
Baseball Field Fence
Installation of fencing from the backstop out along the baselines in front of the two dugouts, one up the first
baseline and the other along the third baseline for a distance of about 80 feet each side.
Furniture and Equipment
Utility Vehicle
Recreation staff currently look after maintenance of the playgrounds, sport fields and trails. This work would be
much more efficiently done if they had the proper vehicle to use in these tasks - one in which two could ride to
the job site together, carry the necessary tools and be fixed with a small box which could be used to haul
brush, small loads of fill, sand or mulch, etc.
Future Capital Considerations
Arena
Compressor Overhaul (2018/19)
As the arena operates with just one compressor, it is critical that it be maintained on a regular basis to
minimize the likelihood of a breakdown during the ice season. One important component of the maintenance
routine is a complete overhaul carried out by a refrigeration technician every five years. This task normally
takes about five days and done during the summer months. Estimate: $13,000.
Ice Resurfacer (2018/19)
The existing ice resurfacer is a 1988 Olympia. It has given us good service over the past twenty six years but
we have had issues over that time with the transmission, the hydraulic system, the starter motor (replaced four
times), and the fuel carburetion system. The conditioner, the blade and auger system mounted at the rear of
the machine, has also been replaced. We are fortunate that our staff are well versed in mechanical repairs plus
we have had the benefit of hydraulic/automotive technicians at ABCO or at Hatts Car Care to call upon when
the problem is beyond the scope of our own staff. We are reaching the point where nursing the machine along
from year to year is becoming more challenging.
The company which sells and services the Olympia Ice resurfacer, Monarch Enterprises, has said that due to
the age of the machine, it has no trade in value but we might be able to sell it privately for four to five thousand
dollars. Estimate: $100,000. The Committee will investigate fundraising opportunities for this replacement.
Fields & Grounds

DRAFT Page 88 of 98
Ride-on Lawn Mower (2018/19)
A commercial grade mower is required to maintain our soccer field, the ball diamond outfield and track
perimeter, the grounds around the Victoria Road playground and tennis courts and the edging along the Back
Harbour Trail. Our current mower was acquired two years ago and we can expect six years of efficient service
before replacement is suggested. Cost: $10,000.
Loader/ Mower (2019/20)
The existing John Deere loader is a very versatile machine that is used to mow, plow, dig, spread fertilizer,
drag the track plus numerous other chores. It is currently working very well. It was bought in 2007 and we
should get another five / six years of service before replacement is required. Cost: $14,000.

ELECTRIC UTILITY CAPITAL RESERVE FUNDS
The Electric Utilitys Capital Reserve Fund (below) consists of the following monies reserved for capital
purposes:
Substation Replacement/Upgrade
The Electric Utility would like to allocate funds annually for futures substation capital costs.
Substation Transformer Meter testing
The transformer meters at the substation are regulated by Measurement Canada and must be tested every 7
years. This is a normally an operating expenditure under repairs and maintenance account. However, due to
the high cost of testing the three meters (estimated at $30,000) the Utility should put aside funds annually to
offset the cost in the year required.
Computer Server/Equipment
The Electric Utility has allocated funds in previous years for the replacement of its computer server. The
server was upgraded in 2016/17.
Digger Truck
The electric utility has allocated funds in prior years in anticipation of replacing the digger truck. The digger
truck was replaced in 2015/16.
Depreciation Funds
The annual amount of depreciation expensed in the Electric Utility Operating fund is transferred every year to
the Depreciation reserve for future capital purchases. The amounts budgeted from the depreciation funds for
current capital expenditures are transferred to the Electric Capital Fund as approved projects are completed.

All Capital Projects described below can be funded utilizing the Utilitys depreciation reserve fund.
Building & Structures
The Electric Light Shop roof is leaking in several locations and requires replacement. The cost to supply a new
roofing system over the existing is estimated at $25,000.
Substation Transformer Oil Leak Detection
An oil/water separator was originally proposed but does not alert staff in real-time of a transformer oil leak,
which has consequences beyond the potential for oil to escape the substation containment system. The
existing containment system is sufficient with routine PTL inspection, so a system that monitors oil level and
alarms oil level changes is preferred and is being developed.
Utility Line Work
Meters
Smart Meter Conversion Phase 1.
The two-year conversion program will result in the swap of roughly 860 meters in 2017 and 1,300 in 2018. The
designed program replaces 40% of our meters and 48% of our meter reading time, which confirms the
effectiveness of the first year of conversions.
Overhead Conductors
This item is for yearly replacement, new and emergency stock. The budget estimate is $20,000.
Poles & Fixtures
This item is for yearly replacement, new and emergency stock. The budget estimate is $15,000.
Services
For replacement and new installation of overhead service wires and fixtures (both residential and commercial).
The budget estimate is $5,000.
Street Lighting
The Centennial Ave. lights (poles for this project are contained in Poles & Fixtures budget) are $2,000 of this
budget. The remaining $50,000 is for the purchase of LEDs to address the issue of dark streetlights and to
procure inventory for future lights that required replacement. The energy savings associated with LEDs
outweighs the incremental depreciation costs associated with their installation. Subsequent conversion to
LEDs will occur as depreciation reserves permit. The Municipal LED street light conversion deadline is
December 31, 2022.
Transformers Line/Installation
Inventory is low for 3300V pole mount transformers, replacement units are months away from delivery. This
purchasing program brings us to 5 stock of each 25kVA, 37.5kVA and 50kVA for this rare voltage and better
prepares the utility in case of a storm that results in widespread damage to our 3300V circuits.
Technical Studies
The Short Circuit Protection and Hall Street Voltage Review studies were not completed in fiscal 2016/17
(previously budgeted sum of $40,000). Adding coordination, load flow and voltage conversion aspects to the
scope of the technical studies enables the Utility to best plan for future reliability (enhanced sectionalizing of
our five circuits, Hall Street project and Substation Line project) improvement and cost-savings projects
(voltage conversion).
King Street ACSR Conductors
This item was recommended in the November 2015 Distribution System Study. The Old Town Circuit on King
Street between Lincoln and Montague Streets slack spans (copper conductor). This three phase section of
copper conductors has been stretched beyond its limits and cannot be tensioned to the correct sag between
DRAFT
poles. It is recommended that these sections be replaced with new ACSR conductors to prevent failure due to
ice loading, wind, etc. This project was included in the approved 2016/17 Capital Budget however was not able
Page 95 of 98
to be completed by March 31, 2017. The total budget estimate was $30,000, of this $15,000 is the estimate to
complete this work in fiscal 2017/18.
Replacement Relay Installation
The replacement relay for the main transformer in the substation is in stock and will be installed this year.
Leaking Relay on 4kV Standby Transformer in Substation
The On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC) was originally thought to be the problem, but further investigation strongly
suggests it is a leaking relay on top of the 4kV standby transformer. There is potential to resolve the issue by
fixing a leaking pipe and/or connection, but budget is requested to replace the relay in the event it is required
to fully resolve the issue.
Sectionalizing circuits to improve reliability
The technical studies will generate results and recommendations that include how best to further sectionalize
our circuits so that parts of the system can be returned to service quickly after a power interruption, while
powerline technicians work to resolve issues on isolated parts of the circuit. Budget $75,000.
Voltage Drop Measurement Equipment
The Stantec report suggests we measure voltage drop at key locations on our system. The budget includes the
purchase and installation of equipment required to measure the voltage drop. Budget $5,000.
Replace failing switches at the substation
Various switches in the substation have seized due to lack of operation, while others have components not
functioning properly. Budget $30,000.
Future Capital Requirements
The technical studies will provide recommendations that will form future capital requirements.
There is a significant amount of capital work required beyond what is listed in the 10 year capital budget. The
action plan to address these important capital items will be completed once the technical studies are received.

Lunenburg Town Council
I have been approached by the Folk Harbour Festival people and the Tallships committee regarding
additional water bottle refilling stations.
I built two in 2015 and they were well used for the last 2 festivals, one at the big tent and the other at
the waterfront. The request this year is for 2 at the waterfront, one at the bandstand and one at the big
tent. We had planned on leaving one at the waterfront for the summer but there was a communication
error and it did not happen.
If the Town is interested, I will build 2 more. We had budgeted $300 in 2015 but Im not sure if any of
that was actually spent. Even if it wasnt, it is gone. To build 2 more would be a maximum of $300. I still
have some of the large decals and stands. I no longer have free access to tubing and such but the costs
would not be significant.

Report for April 11th, 2017 Document #:

To: Town of Lunenburg Council Meeting:
RE: Lunenburg Electric Utility Monthly Report Circulate:
File:
Context
This is the third report to the Town of Lunenburg Council during the initial term of the Alternative Resource Energy
Authoritys (AREA) engagement with your Electric Utility. This report serves as an update on micro level, day-to-day
activities and smaller capital projects for March 2017. More substantive issues and longer-term strategies relating to the
Utility are provided in separate reports as required.
Operational Activities
The Utility addressed inbound requests from customers and dealt with urgent issues that arose. March did not have the
same pace as February although storm preparation leading up to the March 14th storm and next-day clean-up delayed
the start of our monthly meter reading program. Fortunately, there were no power interruptions for our customers
during this event. We also had vacation days in March, which limit our ability to perform two-person tasks. Inbound
customer requests arrived in the following forms.
New service connections

PLT staff have addressed customer requests to disconnect/reconnect/relocate service on Pelham Street and various
maintenance work was required on Stonehurst, Highway 324, Blue Rocks Road, The Lane and a couple reported downed
lines that were telecom wires. The crew also adjusted a voltage issue associated with a pole-top transformer on Blue
Rocks Road in the Rye Hill area.
Our crew worked with PLTs from Riverport and Berwick to perform vegetation management on Broad Street before the
March 14th, 2017 storm. It was noted that for this task we achieved more than double the productive output with only
double the resources, demonstrating the value of work coordination with our peer municipal electric utilities.
A contractor was hired to fall problem trees near 772 Blue Rocks Road in advance of the same storm. We have
permission from the landowners in this area to clear out trees that could potentially harm our system as experienced
during the February 14th, 2017 storm that knocked out power to Blue Rocks for over a day. Utility and Procurement staff
are developing strategies to perform this work (and clean it up) at best value to the Utility.
The crew has been dispatched on inclement weather days to identify infrastructure that needs replacement. Three
dozen poles have been selected, and the crew continues to identify additional components. These necessary
replacements will be factored into action plans that arise from the results of the technical studies that will soon
commence.
RFPs
RFPs closed late in March for LEDs and electrical system studies (with the latter enabling the utility to optimally
incorporate reliability initiatives and consider a detailed business case for voltage conversion on each of the five
circuits). Staff are evaluating the responses.
Page 2 of 3
Substation
NSPI continued to perform monthly substation inspections, with no new issues identified. An action plan is still under
development to remedy the two failing switches that were identified by us during the pothead replacement project,
with a system-wide outage to be scheduled when the weather warms up and daylight is available in the early ours to
limit customer inconvenience. Existing budgeted amounts will cover these costs.
The on-load tap changer shaft seal leak has been investigated with the assistance of Strum Engineering and it has been
determined that a leaking relay on the top of the 4kV standby transformer is the root cause of the residue on the
transformer. The cost to remedy will be significantly less than the budgeted $17,400 with final pricing being firmed up
this month and an action plan devised.
Outage Tracking and Benchmarking

Power outages in March 2016 are listed below.
Our statistics will be benchmarked with our municipal peers and with regional electric utilities to determine any
abnormalities for management to investigate.
Capital Projects
There are several project-based initiatives that need to be addressed. In addition to addressing the day-to-day typical
utility tasks, we are making progress on some of the projects as discussed below.
Sectionalizing Town Areas to Improve Reliability / Co-ordination Study / Short Circuit Study
An action plan will be devised based on the results of the technical studies, which RFP just closed.
Centennial Streetlights
Utility staff will install in May once poles arrive from supplier.
King Street Conductor Replacement

All required poles are now installed. Utility and Public Works staff are discussing ways to limit tree removal and/or
trimming associated with this project. Two PLTs from the Berwick Electric Commission will join us to finish this project
once we conclude the vegetation adjustments.
Substation Line Upgrade

We are waiting for the results of the electrical system studies before embarking on this project because a voltage
conversion initiative may render this capital project redundant.

goods and chattels for the maximum period permitted by law, and any sale by the Landlord may,
25
in its sole discretion, be effected by public auction or private contract and either in bulk or by
individual items, or partly by one means and partly by the other, (but for clarification, nothing in
this clause shall authorize the Landlord to distrain on, seize or sell musical instruments which
are not owned by the Tenant);
(h) the Landlord may remove the goods, chattels, equipment and fixtures of the Tenant from the
Premises and store them in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
the Tenant;
(i) in order to relet, the Landlord may take possession of the Premises as agent of the Tenant and
effect such alterations and repairs as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of such
reletting, and it may relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be
for a term extending beyond the Term) and at such rental or rentals and on such other terms and
conditions as the Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Upon such reletting, all
rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first to the payment of the
Landlord's costs and expenses of such reletting and costs of such alterations and repairs; second
to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due from the Tenant to the Landlord; third to
the payment of arrears of Rent; fourth to the payment of Rent as it falls due; and the residue, if
any, shail be held by the Landlord without interest until the end of the Term and applied from time
to time in payment of Rent as the same may become due and payable, and any residue
remaining at the end of the Term shall be held for the Tenant No such reletting nor the receipt of
any such rentals from any new tenant, nor the creation of the relation of landlord and tenant
between the Landlord and any party to whom the Premises may have been relet, shall have the
effect of exonerating the Tenant from its obligations to pay Rent hereunder as it falls due or of in
any way terminating this Lease;
U) the Landlord may terminate this Lease by commencing an action for possession or for
termination of the Lease or by notice to the Tenant Such termination may be effected either at or
after the time of the breach or at any later time and notwithstanding that the Landlord may have
exercised any of its other remedies, including that set out under Section 13.1 (i). In the event that
the Landlord or anyone claiming under it or to whom it has rented the Premises is in possession
under the provisions of Section 13.1 (i), the Landlord may at any time terminate this Lease by
notice to the Tenant, and thereafter any then existing or later lease of the Premises shall be for
the account of the Landlord notwithstanding that such Lease may originally have been entered
into as agent for the Tenant If the Landlord enters the Premises without notice to the Tenant as
to whether it is terminating this Lease under Section 13.1 U) or proceeding under Section 13.1 (i)
or any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord shall be deemed to be proceeding under
Section 13.1 (i) and the Lease shall not be terminated, nor shall there be any surrender by
operation of law, but the Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the Landlord notifies the
Tenant that it has elected to terminate this Lease. No entry by the Landlord during the Term shall
have the effect of terminating this Lease without notice to that effect to the Tenant;
(k) at the option of the Landlord, the full amount of the current month's Rent and the next ensuing
three (3) months' Rent shall accelerate and shall immediately become due and payable. For the
purpose of this Section 13.1 (k), where any of the items of Rent are not known, definite or
established at the time of the exercise of such option by the Landlord, the acceleration in respect
of such items shall be equal to three (3) times the average monthly instalment during the full
26
twelve (12) month period preceding such acceleration, or if there has not been a full twelve (12)
month period, it shall be equal to three (3) times the average monthly instalment since the
beginning of the Term; and
(I) on any termination for default, all fixtures, Tenant's improvements or other installations in the
Premises which in law are fixtures or a part of the realty or are attached, affixed to or incorporated
into or with the immoveable properties situated in or on the Building, and which are not the
property of the Landlord, shall, at the Landlord's option, forthwith become the property of the
Landlord, and whether or not such fixtures are in the nature of Tenant's trade fixtures and whether
or not they would be removable by the Tenant at the expiry of the Term if there had been no
default.
The foregoing remedies are in addition to, (and not as an alternative to) the remedies otherwise
provided in this lease or otherwise available pursuant to legislation or the common law.
13.2 Interest and Costs
Whenever the Landlord takes any proceedings, sends any notices, does any work, or otherwise incurs
any expense or trouble or takes any action with respect to any default by the Tenant, and whether or not
legal proceedings are commenced or considered in consequence of such default, and whether or not this
Lease is terminated, the Landlord shall be entitled to be paid by the Tenant forthwith on demand, in addition
to any other amounts which may be payable or owing hereunder, all of the following:
(a) the cost of effecting any repairs or performing any obligation of the Tenant;
(b) the Landlord's costs and expenses in preparing the Premises for reletting in such manner
as, in its sole discretion, it deems necessary or advisable;
(c) unless established by an independent third party to be an unreasonable claim on the part
of the Landlord or unless agreed to otherwise by agreement between the parties, the
Landlord's court costs, collection costs and legal fees on a solicitor and his own client
basis;
(d) interest on rent or any other amounts overdue under the terms of this Lease and on any
moneys expended by the Landlord in consequence of any default by the Tenant at the rate
per annum equal to the prime rate of interest charged by the Landlord's chartered bank
plus two percent (2%);
(e) a charge of fifty dollars ($50) for each cheque of the Tenant which is returned to the
Landlord because of insufficient funds in the Tenant's account; and
(f) any other costs, charges or expenses which the Landlord incurs or to which it is put, and
which would not have been necessary at the time at which they were incurred but for the
default of the Tenant.
Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, and in addition to the foregoing:
The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord all damages, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, all legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by the Landlord in enforcing
the terms of this Lease, or with respect to any matter or thing which is the obligation of the
Tenant under this Lease, or in respect of which the Tenant has agreed to insure or to
indemnify the Landlord.
27
13.3 Waiver by Tenant
Notwithstanding anything contained in any statute at the present time or in the future in force, the
Tenant agrees with the Landlord that none of the Tenant's goods or chattels on the Premises at any time
during the Term shall be exempt from levy by distress for Rent in arrears, and that the Landlord may follow
the Tenant's goods or chattels without limitation of time, and that on any termination of this Lease by the
Landlord under the terms hereof, the Landlord may enter or take possession of the Premises without
judicial order, a writ of possession or any other legal process, and without notice to the Tenant except as
provided under this Lease. The Tenant waives all and every benefit that could or might have accrued to the
Tenant, but for this Section, by virtue of any present or future statute dealing with the matters set out in this
Section. The Tenant agrees that on any claim being made for an exemption from levy by distress, or that
the Landlord must proceed by judicial process to obtain possession, or with respect to any of the other
rights dealt with herein, this Section may be pleaded as an estoppel against the Tenant in any action
brought in which the rights of the Landlord to take the steps set out in this Section are in question.
13.4 Enforcement by Landlord
The failure by the Landlord to enforce any term, covenant or obligation of the Tenant contained herein
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or obligation, or permission for any subsequent
breach of the same, and the Landlord may at any time enforce such term, covenant or obligation. The
waiver by the Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or obligation hereof shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of such term, covenant or obligation with respect to any subsequent breach. No term, covenant or
obligation of the Tenant contained in this Lease may be waived by the Landlord, unless such waiver is in
writing executed by the Landlord. The acceptance of Rent by the Landlord subsequent to any such breach
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such breach, whether or not the Landlord had knowledge of the
breach at the time of acceptance of the Rent.
13.5 Remedies Cumulative
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Landlord may, from time to time, resort to any
one or more or all of the rights and remedies available to it in the event of any default hereunder by the
Tenant, either by any provision of this Lease or by statute or common law, all of which rights and remedies
are intended to be cumulative and not alternative. The express provisions hereunder as to certain rights
and remedies are not to be interpreted as excluding any other or additional rights and remedies available to
the Landlord by statute or common law.
Article 14- End of Term
14.1 Expiration
On the expiration of the Term, the Tenant shall surrender and yield up the Premises to the Landlord in
as good condition as the Tenant is required to maintain the Premises throughout the Term and the Tenant
shall deliver to the Landlord all keys to the Premises and the Building and the combination of all locks, safes
and vaults, if any, in the Premises.
28
14.2 Removal at End of Term
Subject to any alterations or leasehold improvements made to the Premises that have been approved
by the Landlord prior to or during the Term of the Lease, the Tenant shall on any surrender of possession of
the Premises remove such of its fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment which are incorporated
into, affixed or attached with permanency to and which have become a part of the realty or immoveable
property comprising the Building, as the Landlord may require. In effecting such removal the Tenant shall
do no damage to the Premises or any parts of the buildings. Any of the foregoing fixtures, leasehold
improvements and equipment which are not required to be removed by the Landlord shall on surrender of
possession by the Tenant become the sole and exclusive property of the Landlord without payment to the
Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where required by the Landlord, the Tenant shall return the
Premises or part thereof, to the condition in which it existed at the beginning of the Term. Subject to the
foregoing, when not in default at the expiration of the Term, the Tenant may remove its furniture and trade
fixtures other than those referred to in this Section.
14.3 Surviving Obligations
On any termination of this Lease, the Tenant's right of possession shall cease and terminate, but the
obligations of the parties with respect to payment of Rent, covenants not performed at the date of such
termination, indemnification, or any other obligations which, by their nature or by reason of the
circumstances at the time of such termination, are not completely performed prior to such termination, shall
remain in full force and effect until satisfied. It is agreed, however, that in no event shall the Tenant have any
interest in or right to possession of the Premises or any part of the Building after the termination of this
Lease.
14.4 Overholding
If the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the end of the Term with the consent of the
Landlord and without the execution and delivery of a new lease or without having entered into negotiations
for a new lease, which negotiations will be evidenced in writing, then there shall be no tacit renewal of the
Lease or renewal or extension of the Term, nor shall a tenancy from year to year be created, but
notwithstanding any statutory provisions to the contrary, a monthly tenancy shall be created, which may be
terminated by either party on one (1) month's notice. Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of
each month equal to the sum of:
(a) two hundred percent (200%) of the monthly instalment of Gross Rent payable during the
last year of the Term; and
(b) HST on the foregoing.
Article 15- Miscellaneous
15.1 Force Majeure

respect to the performance of any of the terms of this Lease if any non-performance is due to any strike,
lock-out, labour dispute, civil commotion, war or similar event, invasion, the exercise of power, act
29
of God, government regulations or controls, inability to obtain any material or service, or any cause beyond
the control of the party relying on this Section (other than lack of or inability to obtain financial resources by

holding, but shall remain in full force and effect.
