Dear NAME OF CHIEF/ORGANIZATION,
Re: 401 Energy Ltd., Farm Owned Power (Melancthon) Ltd. Wind Farm
This letter is being sent to Aboriginal communities and organizations that 401 Energy
Ltd. has identified as potentially having an interest in the above noted project. While we
understand that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) will be confirming the
list of Aboriginal communities that should be notified of this project, 401 Energy Ltd. is
taking the initiative to notify you in advance of receiving the list. Previous notification of
this project was sent to your community/organization in April, 2007.
401 Energy Ltd. intends to develop, with the project landowners, a 100 MW wind farm in
the Township of Melancthon in Dufferin County, Ontario (the “Farm Owned Power
(Melancthon) Ltd. Wind Farm”). The majority ownership of the project will be the local
community (land owners). 401 Energy Ltd. has been granted a contract for the sale of
electricity with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) through the Province’s Feed-in-Tariff
(FIT) program. The project will require approval under Ontario Regulation 359/09 –
Renewable Energy Approval (REA) under the Green Energy Act. The REA process
replaces the previous process that required several separate approvals including, for
example, the Environmental Assessment Act, Planning Act and Environmental Protection
Act. As specified in the REA regulations (Section 17), a project proponent is required to:
• Notify Aboriginal communities of the proponent’s intent to develop the project;
• Provide Aboriginal communities with a copy of the draft Project Description
Report;
• Provide information regarding any adverse impacts that the project may have on
constitutionally protected treaty rights;
• Notify Aboriginal communities of each of the REA Reports that are to be
released; and
• Make a written request that the Aboriginal community provide in writing any
information available to the community that in its opinion, should be considered
in preparing the REA Reports and in particular, any information the community
may have about the adverse impacts that the project may have on constitutionally
401 Energy Ltd. | 1 Valleywood Drive, Suite 3B | Markham, ON L3R 5L9
protected aboriginal or treaty rights and any measures for mitigating those
adverse impacts.
While Section 17 of the REA Regulations makes reference to the need to submit the
above through a form that has been approved by the MOE, no such form is available at
this time, and the information/request is being made through this letter.
The following addresses the above-noted requirements:
Project Description
The draft Project Description Report (PDR) for this project is attached and includes a
map of the project area.
Information Regarding any Adverse Impacts on Aboriginal or Treaty Rights
There are no Aboriginal communities located within the Project Area, the Township of
Melancthon or Dufferin County as a whole. The Melancthon wind farm project lies
outside the Haldimand Tract, however, it is immediately adjacent to the Tract and it lies
within the Treaty of 1701 boundary. As such, the project may be of interest to the Six
Nations of Grand River community. 401 Energy Ltd. has arranged a meeting with the
Six Nations First Nation.
The following Aboriginal communities and organizations have also been identified as
potentially having an interest in the project:
� Chippewas of the Thames
� Chippewas of Saugeen
� Oneida Nation of the Thames
� Munsee-Delaware Nation
� Chippewas of Kettle & Stony Point
� Union of Ontario Indians
� Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians
� Metis Nation of Ontario
401 Energy Ltd. has no specific information with regard to potential adverse effects that
the project could have on the constitutional and/or treaty rights of the above noted
aboriginal communities. 401 Energy Ltd. is communicating with aboriginal communities
to confirm potential project interest.
REA Reports Summary
401 Energy Ltd. is in the process of completing the following technical reports which are
required for the REA submission to the Ministry of the Environment:
401 Energy Ltd. | 1 Valleywood Drive, Suite 3B | Markham, ON L3R 5L9
• Construction Plan Report – This report will include a description of the
following: construction activities; location and timing of the construction;
potential negative effects that might be incurred during construction; and
mitigation measures to be implemented to avoid/minimize the identified effects.
• Natural Heritage Features Summary Report – A description of the natural
heritage features in the project area (birds, bats, vegetation, terrestrial and aquatic
wildlife and habitats) and demonstration that required REA setbacks from natural
features have been met.
• Water Assessment Summary Report – A summary of water features in the
project area and demonstration that the required REA setbacks from water
features have been met.
• Design and Operations Report – A description of the following: site plan of the
project showing all project components and their locations; surface water supplies
to be used, potential emissions and waste; an environmental effects monitoring
plan; and response plan to communicate with affected parties.
• Consultation Report – A summary of communication and consultation activities
conducted to date with the public, government agencies and Aboriginal
communities as well as a summary of the communication and consultation
activities that are planned for the future under the REA process, including
responses to concerns that are received.
• Decommissioning Plan Report – A description of the activities that are to be
undertaken should the facility be decommissioned including: procedures to
dismantle the facility; land restoration activities; and procedures for waste
management.
• Noise Study Report – A description of the noise modeling results to demonstrate
that the renewable energy facility will meet MOE specified noise level levels.
• Wind Turbine Specification Report – A technical description of the equipment
and wind turbines to be used.
401 Energy Ltd. would be pleased to provide the above noted reports to interested
Aboriginal communities for their review and comments.
Request for Information
401 Energy Ltd. is making a written request to your community for information that
should be considered in the planning of this project, in particular any information that
401 Energy Ltd. | 1 Valleywood Drive, Suite 3B | Markham, ON L3R 5L9
your community may have regarding potential adverse impacts of the project on
constitutionally protected aboriginal or treaty rights and recommendations for measures
to mitigate these adverse impacts.
401 Energy Ltd. is pleased to continue communications with aboriginal communities
with respect to this Project. 401 Energy Ltd. is available to meet with aboriginal
communities representatives to present the project and results of the REA process and to
learn about your interests and potential concerns. I intend to follow-up with a phone call

We would like to again offer the opportunity to meet with representatives of your community to present the proposed project, receive your comments and determine if your community will have an interest in the project. The REA application was submitted to the Ministry of Environment in August for the completeness review. As such, it is important that should your community have potential interest in the project, that we be advised of this as soon as possible

We have not received any response from your community on previous correspondence that has been sent. We would like to again offer the opportunity to meet with representatives of your community to present the proposed project, receive your comments and determine if your community will have an interest in the project. The REA application was submitted to the Ministry of Environment in August for the completeness review.

Since our last meeting with your community representatives on June 13, 2012, we have not received further input regarding your confirmed level of interest in the project. Again, we would like to offer the opportunity to have discussions and or meet with representatives of your community for us to present the proposed project and receive your comments.
This letter is to also inform you of the upcoming additional public information meetings (PIC) for the Farm Owned Power (Melancthon) Ltd. /Dufferin Wind Farm (DWP), to be located in Melancthon Township.

Additionally PICs are being held in Amaranth, Shelburne and Melancthon to present additional details and changes to the wind farm layout design and the 230 kV transmission line since last presented to the public. Wind turbine locations have remained the same since the last Public Information Centres in July 2012.
