Trans Mountain Expansion Project

Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force Annual Meeting

September 25, 2013

Michael Davies, Senior Director Marine Development

Proposed Expansion• Expand capacity to 890,000 bpd• Customer contracts for ~ 700,000 bpd

on 15 and 20 year terms• Twin remaining 980 km (620 miles) of

pipeline • Increase pumping capability • Increase storage capacity• Increase Puget Sound pipeline

capacity• Add 2 tanker berths• Increase in tanker traffic - not tanker

size• No dredging of 2nd Narrows as a

requirement of this project

Trans Mountain Pipeline

Current Operations• Operating since 1953• Capacity: 300,000 bpd• 1150 km (715 miles) between

Edmonton and Burnaby• Ferndale and Anacortes• Transports refined products, heavy

and light crude oils including dilbit• Last expanded in 2008

Proposed Expansion Project Scope

• Three tanker berth faces• Partially (85%) laden Aframax

– Up to 34 tankers /month– 2 crude oil barges /month– 1 jet fuel barge (receiving) /month

• ~14% of current PMV traffic

• One tanker berth face• Partially (85%) laden Aframax

– Typically 5 tankers /month– 2 crude oil barges /month– 1 jet fuel barge (receiving) /month

• ~3% of PMV traffic

Project Application Requirements

NEB Application must describe effect of the project on the environment including those from normal operations and from accidents and malfunctions:

– The potential environmental and socio-economic effects of marine shipping activities that would result from the proposed Project, including the potential effects of accidents or malfunctions that may occur.

TERMPOL is a voluntary multi-agency review of the navigation infrastructure and regulation led by Transport Canada.

Vessel Traffic Analysis

Based on 2011 AIS information from Marine Exchange

~ 60 calls to WRMT

~ addn 350 calls at WRMT

(Y 2011)

Established Marine Corridor

• Transit follows established traffic separation scheme (CCG and USCG)

• Traffic is monitored by vessel traffic services (CCG and USGC)

• Aids to navigation maintained by CCG and USCG

• PMV and Transport Canada rules and regulations in place

• BC Coast Pilots (certified by Pacific Pilotage Authority) onboard between Victoria and Terminal

– 2 pilots during loaded transit

• Tug escort arrangements using tethered tugs during harbor transit (loaded and ballast) – Up to 4 tugs during departure

• Tethered purpose built escort tug through Haro Straits andBoundary Pass (loaded) 8

Product Quality

We transport a wide range of products and the terms and conditions for this service are defined in our Tariff 88.

These conditions include product quality limits typical of major pipelines:(a) Reid vapour pressure:103 kPa

(b) Sand, dust, gums, sediment, water or other impurities (total in aggregate): 0.5%

(c) Receipt Point a temperature: 38ºC

(d) Density: 940 kg/m³

(e) Kinematic Viscosity: 350cSt

(f) Having any organic chlorides or other compounds with physical or chemical characteristics that may render such Petroleum not readily transportable by the Carrier…

Trans Mountain has been transporting diluted bitumen since late 1980s without incident or operational problems due to dilbit properties.

Federal Tanker Safety Expert Panel

Panel• Three person panel led by Captain Gordon Houston, the former

President and CEO of the Port Metro Vancouver.

Scope of the Review • Evidence-based review and assessment of Canada's

Marine Oil Spill Preparedness and Response Regime, as it

applies to oil handling facilities and ship-source oil spill preparedness

and response.

– Regime's current regulated preparedness capacity of 10,000 tonnes – Regime's structure and key components – Regime's coverage

11

BC’s Five Conditions1. Successful completion of the environmental review process;

2. World-leading marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems;

3. World-leading practices for land oil spill prevention and response;

4. Legal requirements regarding Aboriginal and treaty rights are addressed, and First Nations are provided with the opportunities, information and resources necessary to participate in and benefit from a project; and

5. British Columbia receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits.

• BC proposing joint plan of action with the federal government that would address:– Limits to liability that ensure sufficient financial resources to properly address any spills; – Increased federal response capacity;– Full adoption of the Unified Command model;– Strengthened federal requirements for the provision and placement of marine response equipment;– Industry-funded terrestrial (land-based) spill co-operative; – Increased capacity within the provincial emergency response program to ensure adequate oversight

of industry; and– A Natural Resources Damage Assessment process to provide certainty that a responsible party will

address all costs associated with a spill.

What is changing?

• Same products• Same vessels• Same route• Increased frequency

Expect:• Navigation safety enhancements

– TERMPOL review

• Spill response enhancements– TMEP work with WCRMC– Federal tanker safety review– BC’s five conditions
