B.1 Project Update Brochure

On behalf of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines Project (Northern

Gateway), I am writing to provide updated information about our proposed project, particularly regarding our upcoming regulatory application submission to the National Energy Board (NEB). For the past number of years, Northern Gateway has been discussing the project with communities, Aboriginal groups, landowners, government officials and other interested parties in both Alberta and British Columbia, with respect to our proposed pipelines project. I am writing to announce that we now anticipate filing a regulatory application this spring to the NEB. This application will mark the official commencement of the regulatory review process of our project.

The Role of The RegulaToRs and The applicaTion Review pRocessNorthern Gateway requires regulatory approvals from a number of federal authorities, including the NEB. The NEB is an independent federal agency established in 1959 by the Parliament of Canada to regulate international and interprovincial aspects of the oil, gas and electric utility industries. The purpose of the NEB is to promote safety and security, environmental protection and efficient energy infrastructure and markets in the public interest.

Prior to a decision by the NEB, the project must also undergo an environmental assessment under the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). That legislation is administered by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

The role of CEAA is to provide high-quality environmental assessments that contribute to informed decision making, in support of sustainable development. In order to review the Application, the NEB and the federal Minister of the Environment, who is responsible for CEAA, have established a Joint Review Panel (JRP) to combine the regulatory and environmental assessment processes. This enables a single panel to hear and decide on the application. The JRP will lead an extensive regulatory review of the application that is anticipated to take approximately eighteen months.

Recently, the NEB and the Minister of Environment announced the composition and structure of the three-person JRP panel, which will oversee the comprehensive review of Northern Gateway’s application. Enclosed in this package for your review is information from the NEB announcing the panel as well as background information on the individual panel members.

As the NEB has indicated in its news release on this matter, “The joint review panel process will provide an opportunity for all hearing participants to make their views known on the project in an open and transparent forum. The public and Aboriginal groups are encouraged to bring their views on the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project forward to the Joint Review Panel.”

Once Northern Gateway files an application with the NEB, the process for an in-depth review and analysis of the pipelines proposal will begin. The first step will be the issuance of a Hearing Order by the JRP which will set out the procedures that will be followed for the review of the application. The Hearing Order will address a number of issues including:

• how the public and Aboriginal groups can get involved in the process;

• a draft list of issues to be considered;• how to ask Northern Gateway for more

information;• how to gain access to all information

filed in the proceeding;• a timetable for events in the Joint

Review; and• how to raise motions or questions of

procedure.

The attached news release advises that the JRP will then hold sessions with the public and Aboriginal groups along the project route to seek comments on the draft list of issues, on whether additional information is required from the proponent and on the location of oral hearings on the application.

The JRP Agreement, including the Terms of Reference, as well as additional information about the project are available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s website at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, under reference number 06-05-21799, and on the National Energy Board’s website at www.neb-one.gc.ca. In addition, included is a copy of the NEB brochure, “A Proposed Pipeline or Power Line Project: What You Need to Know” which explains the role of the NEB and how to obtain further information regarding the public communication process.

abouT enbRidgeEnbridge is an established Canadian company with over 60 years of experience safely operating the longest and most advanced liquids pipeline system in the world. As a company, our priorities have always been and continue to be safety, a healthy environment, and strong, vibrant communities.

Northern Gateway involves a 1,170 kilometre twin pipelines system, running underground from near Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, British Columbia. The pipeline will transport oil from Central Alberta to a terminal on the coast of BC near Kitimat for shipping to world markets. The Terminal would also be configured to allow for the import of condensate (a natural gas by-product used to thin oil for transportation in pipelines). The project components and activities will include the construction and operation of:

• an oil export pipeline and associated facilities

• a condensate import pipeline and associated facilities

• 10 pump stations located along the pipelines corridor to assist with moving product through the pipelines

• a tank terminal and marine terminal (referred to as the Kitimat Terminal)

The principal criteria used to guide route selection for the pipelines are:

• provide a safe route for installation and operation;

• avoid unstable geotechnical areas; • minimize potential adverse affects; • avoid parks, heritage and

environmentally sensitive areas; • select suitable locations for water

crossings; • follow existing corridors; • minimize length; and• minimize lifecycle costs.

As the Project progresses and new information is obtained, issues with respect to the pipeline route in specific areas will be further identified and mitigated as appropriate.

We take pride in our long-standing reputation as a safe pipeline operator and socially responsible company. Construction and operation of the Northern Gateway Pipelines system and marine terminal will be a model of world-class safety and environmental standards.

MoRe infoRMaTionIn addition to the NEB and regulatory application information, we have also enclosed an updated project route map. The NEB has a general e-mail account for energy-related inquiries. As an individual with interest in this project, you have the opportunity to submit an inquiry regarding the project to [email protected].

Northern Gateway is committed to providing you with updates throughout the regulatory application process. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you require further information regarding the project or the public involvement process, please call our toll free telephone line at 1-888-434-0533 or visit our website, www.northerngateway.ca.

coMMuniTy engageMenT and coMMuniTy advisoRy boaRdsNorthern Gateway is undertaking an extensive community engagement program for the project. The community engagement program offers a wide variety of opportunities for individuals and organizations to learn about the project and provide input. The opportunities include public open houses, presentations to local governments and community organizations, small group meetings, local offices in Kitimat and Terrace, a project website, newsletter blog, a project toll-free number and email address.

To complement these community engagement activities, Northern Gateway has established “community advisory boards”. Community advisory boards bring diverse interests together, providing an opportunity for meaningful exchange among Northern Gateway, Aboriginal groups, non-Aboriginal communities, industry, and the general public. It is envisioned that these will be in place for the lifetime of the project.

A Proposed Pipeline or Power Line Project: what you need to know.Cat. No. NE23-121/2004EISBN 0-662-37886-5

Aussi disponible en français.

You have become aware of a pipeline or power line project that is proposed to be constructed in your area. The company

planning the project may invite you to participate in a public consultation program for the project. This brochure describes:

• the role of the National Energy Board

• the Board’s requirements regarding the company’s consultation program

• Appropriate Dispute Resolution

• how you can get further information about the Board’s processes

The Role of the National Energy Board

The Board is an independent federal agency that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Natural Resources Canada. The Board regulates interprovincial and international pipelines and power lines.

Before a company can commence construction of a proposed pipeline or power line, it must apply to the National Energy Board and receive the Board’s approval. The Board decides whether the project is in the public interest and whether it should be approved.

For some proposed projects, the Board conducts public hearings in order to get all relevant views on the project before it makes a decision. The

of the project, should address public concerns and issues and should respond to any concerns or input provided by interested persons. The consultation program should be ongoing throughout the development of the project, the Board’s regulatory processes and construction of the project. The Board also expects that companies will have plans for ongoing communication during the operation of the project. The Board encourages interested persons to become involved with the company’s consultation program and to work with the company to address and resolve all issues and concerns.

The Board also expects the company to respond to any complaints it may receive from landowners or the public throughout the life of the project. The goal is for the company to address and resolve the concern or complaint as early as possible.

Appropriate Dispute Resolution

The Board’s Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) process is also available to you. An ADR process may help to resolve outstanding issues. ADR could take the form of a meeting between you and the company, which may be facilitated by trained Board staff or by another neutral third party. For more information about ADR options, please contact the Board.

Board’s decision about the need for a hearing depends on the nature of the project, its potential effects and the level of public interest in the project. Generally, a hearing is not required for projects that are less than 40 kilometres in length or for additions to existing systems.

Board hearings are open to the public and any person may attend the hearing as an observer. You may participate in a Board hearing by providing comments or becoming an intervenor. A person must apply to the Board to become an intervenor. Intervenors can be landowners, area residents, government agencies, Aboriginals, companies or any other individual or group that applies and is granted intervenor status by the Board.

The Company’s Consultation Program

As part of the Board’s application process, the company must meet the requirements of the National Energy Board Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Board’s Filing Manual and other regulations or legislation. For most projects, the company is also required to conduct a consultation program.

The goal of consultation is to communicate with all individuals, groups and agencies that may be potentially affected by the project. The company should involve potentially affected persons early in the planning and design phases
