Existing system

Enbridge is the largest operator ofregional crude oil pipelines serving theoil sands region of Northern Alberta,with multiple lines often existing withinthe same right-of-way (ROW). Enbridgecurrently owns and operates the 30-inch(762 millimetre) diameter AthabascaPipeline which travels from ourAthabasca Terminal north of FortMcMurray to our terminal in Hardisty,Alberta. Enbridge owns and operates a12-inch (324 millimetre) lateral pipelinefrom the Mackay River facility to theAthabasca Terminal and two 8-inch(219 millimetre) pipelines from ChristinaLake to our Kirby Lake Terminal.

The Waupisoo Pipeline is 30-inches(762 millimetres) in diameter andapproximately 380 kilometres long. Thepipeline system transports oil sands crudebitumen from our Cheecham Terminalto Edmonton via Stonefell Terminal nearBruderheim, Alberta.

Enbridge’s Woodland Pipeline is a 36-inch(914 millimetre), 140 kilometre system thatconnects the Kearl Oil Sands Project toEnbridge’s Cheecham Terminal. The lineallows further downstream connection tothe existing pipeline transportation system.

Operational since 2012, Wood BuffaloPipeline is a 30-inch (762 millimetre) pipethat runs approximately 95 kilometres.The system parallels Enbridge’sAthabasca Pipeline, providing incrementalcapacity between Enbridge’s AthabascaTerminal and its Cheecham Terminal.

Enbridge also operates the Deer CreekLateral Pipeline, which is owned by Total,from the Total-Joselyn station to ourAthabasca Terminal. There is an8-inch (219 millimetre) and 12-inch(324 millimetre) pipe that runsapproximately 63 kilometres in length.

Above ground facilities

Enbridge owns and operates severalabove ground facilities along its crudeoil pipeline systems. Crude oil storagefacilities are used to safely store andtransport crude oil to refineries and othermarked destinations via pipeline. Pumpstations increase pressure in the pipelineto maintain flow and are monitored 24/7by Enbridge’s control centres. Valve sitesare located along the pipeline right-of-way(ROW) and may be used to control theflow of products in the pipeline.

Enbridge has established a significant presence incontract crude oil storage across North Americain recent years.

Our pipelines meet or exceedgovernment standards, and overa half-century of experiencehas proven that pipelinesare the single safest methodof transporting petroleumproducts and natural gas.

Pipeline safety

As a neighbour, you also make animportant contribution to the team. Byobserving right-of-way safety precautions,and keeping in touch, you can help preventincidents and minimize their impacts.

From the ground up

While our pipelines are buried out of sightbeneath the ground in the right-of-way(ROW), we never lose sight of the biggerpicture of our potential impact on theair, water and land around us, and ourresponsibility to preserve all elements ofour environment.

In fact, our activities–everything frompipeline design, construction, testing,maintenance, operation and safetypractices–are subject to governmentregulations, which we meet or exceed.

When we do disturb the ground, everyeffort is made to restore the land to itsoriginal condition and to protect the qualityof the air and water that sustain us.

We constantly monitor all of our activitiesand take every precaution to make surewe protect the environment.

Protecting your community

Enbridge has a wide range of programsto safeguard the integrity of the pipelinesystem that runs through your land or nearyour community.

We invest heavily in the tools,technologies, people and strategies weneed to make sure the pipeline networkshave the strength and fitness needed to dothe job safely and reliably.

Safety in processes and technologies

From the purchase of high quality steel pipemanufactured to meet stringent criteria,to the cathodic protection system weemploy to prevent corrosion once the pipeis installed, Enbridge makes the safety of

Enbridge takes seriously its responsibilityfor safe pipeline operation. Beingresponsible for pipeline integrity,however, does not mean working alone.We work year-round to provide safe,reliable operations, and we regularlycommunicate important information tolocal governments, community fire andpolice services, utilities, contractors,neighbours and tenants.

Preparedness means developingintegrated response plans based on opencommunication and teamwork. Enbridgeworks with local fire and police services sothat they have the information they requireto respond to an emergency. We holdregular training exercises in selectlocations throughout the year to keepemployees’ skills fresh, and to maintainstrong and effective coordination withlocal emergency responders.

the system a priority before and during itsoperation. The processes and technologieswe use to prevent and detect leaks include:

• The careful selection and testingof pipe prior to and during themanufacturing process

• X-ray or ultrasonic testing of all weldsmade to a mainline pipeline sectionduring its construction

• Sophisticated monitoring and controlsystems that operate around the clock,365 days a year

• Research and development ontechnologies designed to preventcorrosion and cracking

• Tests to confirm pipeline integrity onnew pipelines/systems

• The use of durable coating systems andcathodic protection (use of low voltageelectric current) to protect pipe fromexternal corrosion

• The use of increasingly sophisticatedin-line inspection technologies tomeasure the size and location of evenminute changes in the integrity of everyline in our system

Safety in people and practices

In addition to developing and putting theright processes and technologies intoplace, the right people and practices alsodrive our efforts to keep the pipeline safe.Our initiatives include:

• Regular pipeline ROW patrols byaircraft and in some areas by land

• Investigative dig programs to effectpipeline integrity

• Meeting and exceeding industrystandards and regulations

• Public awareness education

• Research and development

• The stationing of emergency responsestaff and equipment at strategiclocations along the pipeline route

Respecting the environment

Whether it’s plant life, wildlife, soil, freshwater or historical artifacts, in every aspectof our business we work hard to preservethe natural balance of your land. To do that,we plan very carefully from start to finishon any project, making sure our peopleknow what’s expected, talking to you, andimplementing programs in place that willhelp to protect the environment.

pipelines. The depth and location ofthe pipelines vary within the ROW. TheROW exists in many kinds of ecosystemsfrom river crossings and cultivated fieldsto sub-Arctic tundra and urban areas.

Easement agreements

Good working relationships betweenpipeline companies and the propertyowners and tenants along the ROW areessential to the safety and reliability of thepipeline system.

For decades, we’ve been developing andmaintaining constructive relationshipswith thousands of neighbours like you.Recognizing your important contribution,Enbridge is committed to dealing fairly andconsistently with everyone who lives andworks along the pipeline route.

This relationship began when wenegotiated the original easementagreement. The year the originaleasement agreement was negotiatedvaries across the pipeline system and isdependent on the year of initial pipelineconstruction. As growth continued,additional pipelines were installed and insome situations the original ROWbecame full, requiring an additionaleasement to be negotiated.

In return for compensation, Enbridgewas granted the right to use the ROWfor constructing, operating andmaintaining its pipelines.

Neighbours, in turn, help to protectthe safety of the line by abiding by theagreement and all government regulationswith respect to excavation, constructionor other activities over or near pipelines.

Enbridge is committed todealing fairly and consistentlywith everyone who lives andworks along the pipeline route.

Understanding the Right-of-Way(ROW)

A ROW is a strip of land of varying widthsthat contains one or more pipelines.The actual width of the ROW in your areawill be noted in your specific easementagreement. The ROW:

• Allows our workers access forinspection, maintenance, testingor emergencies

• Identifies an area that restricts certainactivities to protect public safety

While permanent pipeline markers arelocated at roads, railways and otherintervals along the ROW, these show onlythe approximate location of the buried

Because of this, there is no distinct lookto the ROW.

Emergency information

In an emergency

Pipelines have been proven as thesafest transportation mode for energycommodities. Pipeline leaks are rare butcan happen for a number of differentreasons. Statistics show that third partydamage is one of the most commonreasons for pipeline leaks or ruptures,which underscores the importance of Callor Click Before You Dig programs.

The liquid hydrocarbons in Enbridge’spipeline system are flammable, and arepotentially hazardous and explosive undercertain conditions.

Pipelines can also leak as a result of adefect or some other type of pipewalldamage. Internal inspection tools areused to detect potential pipe problemsin advance, which enable companiesto perform investigative digs and repairthe damage. Since some commoditiesare more flammable than others, apipeline leak or rupture will have differentconsequences depending on thecommodity being transported.

Hydrocarbon products such as naturalgas liquids or petroleum products arevery flammable, and will catch fire fromeven the smallest spark or ignition source.Crude oil is also flammable under certainconditions and can pose an environmentalthreat if large volumes escape.

It’s important to know what to do if yoususpect pipeline operations have beendisrupted in any way.

Given our thorough maintenance, testing,training, monitoring and safety programs,a pipeline leak is unlikely; however, if onewere to occur, it’s important that you knowthe warning signs and how to respond inthe event of an emergency.

Know the warning signs

For pipelines carrying liquid hydrocarbons,each product has individual characteristics.This means that the warning signs can varydepending on the product involved.

You might see…

•A moist patch or pool of blackliquid… it may be crude oil

•A moist patch or pool of lightbrown or yellow liquid… it may besynthetic crude oil or condensate

You might hear…

•A roaring, blowing or hissingsound… it may be a pipeline leak

You might smell…

•An odour similar to gasoline ordiesel fuel... it may be a refinedoil product

What to do in an emergency

If you see, smell or hear any of the warningsigns, please immediately do the following:

If you can do so safely, turn off anymechanized equipment. Move as faraway from the leak as possible in anupwind direction.

Avoid contact with escaping liquidsand gases.

Call 911.
