The new pipeline would triple the carrying capacity of the current system, bringing 890,000 barrels per day of dirty, unrefined oil to Burnaby for export via Burrard Inlet – even more than all of the oil proposed for Enbridge’s massive Northern Gateway Project. • The number of tankers coming into Burrard Inlet to receive this dirty oil from the Westridge terminal would increase from approximately eight to 34 tankers per month. • Kinder Morgan is proposing to triple the storage capacity of the tank farm on Burnaby Mountain, increasing the number of tanks to 26. These tanks are located above and below Burnaby homes and businesses, and below SFU and UniverCity. Kinder Morgan’s proposal does not adequately address fire, leakage and security concerns. • This is not oil for B.C.; it is the dirtiest oil from Alberta’s oilsands being transported by a Houston-based multinational company via Burnaby for export. • The application submitted to the NEB by Kinder Morgan is incomplete and the timeline allowed for Burnaby citizens to apply to intervene in the NEB hearings was too short. • Kinder Morgan’s application includes maps that show potential consequences of oil spills in Burnaby. Heavy crude oil could leak into the Brunette and Fraser rivers, and Burnaby Lake. • Kinder Morgan says their pipeline has operated safely for 60 years. In fact, Burnaby has already dealt with one significant Kinder Morgan spill. In 2007, a Burnaby neighbour- hood, including 44 homes, was drenched in oil that also leaked into Burrard Inlet and Kask Creek. This was a miniscule spill, compared to what would be possible with this new pipeline – and was not the dirty, unrefined oil that Kinder Morgan is proposing to carry in their new lines. • The City calls on the federal government to develop an energy plan. Current development is happening in the absence of a plan. On February 3, 2014, the City of Burnaby applied for official intervener status to oppose the Kinder Morgan Pipeline Expansion project. We oppose this pipeline proposal because of the significant negative impacts that its construction and operation would have on our city. To ensure Burnaby citizens have access to all available information about the pipeline and can participate in the City’s intervention, the City will hold community meetings on April 9 and April 15 and will continue to engage with Burnaby citizens and businesses throughout the National Energy Board hearing process. I hope to see you on April 9 and 15.
