Project Overview – Two New Tanks

• One (Tank #5) 80,000 barrel storage tank (30.5m diameter x 18.3m high*)

• One (Tank #6) 120,000 barrel storage tank (36.6m diameter x 19.8m high*)

• Removal of two existing small tanks

• Tank foundations, soil improvements designed to meet current Building Code seismic standards

• Piping / pumping systems to interconnect with existing infrastructure

• Secondary containment / double-walled to meet regulatory requirements

• Wastewater management system

• Stormwater management system

• Electrical systems and control integration into existing systems

• Firefighting system upgrades

*Tank railings, lights, dome extend an additional 1.5 to 2.0 m

Project Overview – Railcar and Vessels

Railcar Rack Extension• Currently 12 railcar unloading positions on existing tracks

• Additional 12 railcar unloading positions on western extension of rail rack

• Piping / pumping systems to interconnect existing infrastructure

• Increase maximum daily capacity from existing 24 cars / day to 36 cars / day

• Spill containment extended for new railcar unloading positions to meet regulatory requirements
