Maintaining safe and reliable access to North American crude oil.

Line 3 Replacement Project – Maintaining safety and integrity

Crude oil is refined into petroleum includes building a 36-inch diameter Line 3 Replacement Project – products we use every day - from pipeline to replace the existing 34-inch Joliette, ND to Superior, WI fuel for our cars to heating oil for our diameter pipeline generally along the Ownership: Energy, homes, to the clothes we wear and the Line 3 pipeline corridor from Joliette, Limited Partnership household products we buy. North Dakota to Clearbrook, , Length: 364 miles in the U.S. Enbridge has been safely and reliably and generally along the proposed transporting crude oil to U.S. refineries preferred Sandpiper pipeline route from Pipe: 36-inch diameter Clearbrook to Superior, . through its pipelines for decades.

Project Need Maintaining Safe, Reliable Pipelines This Project provides a two-fold benefit and purpose: Enbridge builds safety into every step of pipeline construction • Reduces future repair activities and resulting disruptions to and operations. Preventive measures are taken to promote the landowners and the environment; and, safe, reliable operation of our liquid petroleum pipelines and related facilities, including: • Restores the historical operating capabilities of Line 3, to support North American energy independence. • Using high-quality steel and anti-corrosion coatings when constructing our pipelines; Project Benefits • Installing cathodic protection (a low-level electrical charge) Installing new facilities will bring added property tax revenue to inhibit corrosion; to Minnesota communities, as well as provide an influx of • Testing new and existing pipelines in accordance sales taxes from locally purchased materials and equipment. with regulation; Thousands of skilled workers and laborers will be needed during peak construction periods resulting in increased local • Regularly inspecting the inside and outside of the pipeline employment opportunities. Many workers will be drawn from with sophisticated tools; the local workforce. • Conducting preventive maintenance and inspection;

Regulatory Oversight and Permitting • 24-hour pipeline monitoring from Enbridge’s control center, which has remote shutdown capabilities and can monitor Interstate liquid petroleum pipelines are regulated by various pipeline pressures and conditions during operation; federal and state laws and regulations. • Clearly marking the location of the pipeline and participating Comprehensive national standards, federal laws and in the national one-call program; regulations have been developed over decades that prescribe the design, construction, operation and maintenance of liquid • Completing regular ground and aerial inspections of the right- petroleum pipelines. The agency exclusively responsible of-way; for regulating interstate crude oil pipeline safety is the U.S. • Providing public awareness safety information to emergency Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous responders, local public officials, excavators and those who Materials Safety Administration, as designated by the Pipeline live and work along our pipelines.
