    SUNCOR ENERGY INC. Base Mine Extension INITIAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY February 2020 SUNCOR ENERGY INC. Base Mine Extension - Initial Project Description Summary February 2020 This Page Intentionally Left Blank SUNCOR ENERGY INC. Base Mine Extension - Initial Project Description Summary February 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Suncor Energy Inc. (Suncor) is submitting a proposal to develop the Base Mine Extension Project (the Project). All plausible pathways to address global emissions need energy from fossil fuels and Suncor views Canada’s world class, strategic oil sands resource as a key part of the energy future for decades to come. Commensurate with Canada’s ambitions, Suncor is committed to a long-term strategy of reducing absolute emissions. With the innovation we are known for, Suncor can provide the world with trusted low carbon energy. Suncor has invested billions of dollars in infrastructure that produces value added products to meet the energy needs of Albertans and Canadians. This Project is necessary to continue to add value with this infrastructure. The bitumen from this project will be used to supply the existing upgraders at Suncor’s Oil Sands Base Plant operations (Base Plant), when the existing mines are depleted. The Project is adjacent to Base Plant and includes an open pit mining operation and extraction facilities. Production is expected to be nominally 225 thousand barrels per day of replacement bitumen during its estimated 25-year operational life. The Project application will be based on best-available technology. In parallel, Suncor is developing new technologies, such as non-aqueous extraction. These new technologies have the potential to significantly reduce the overall footprint, reclamation timeline, and GHG emissions of mining and will be incorporated as appropriate.

  • Challenges and Benefits of Approaches Used to Integrate Regional Monitoring Programs
    POLICY AND PRACTICE REVIEWS published: 07 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fenvs.2021.666698 Challenges and Benefits of Approaches Used to Integrate Regional Monitoring Programs T. J. Arciszewski 1*, D. R. Roberts 1, K. R. Munkittrick 2 and G. J. Scrimgeour 3 1Resource Stewardship Division, Alberta Environment and Parks, Calgary, AB, Canada, 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada, 3Office of the Chief Scientist, Alberta Environment and Parks, Edmonton, AB, Canada Although challenging to develop and operate, some degree of integrated monitoring is often necessary, especially at regional scales, to address the complex questions of environmental management and regulation. The concept of integration is well- understood, but its practice across programs and studies can be diverse suggesting a broader examination of the existing general approaches is needed. From the literature, we suggest integration of monitoring can occur across three study components: interpretation, analysis, and design. Design can be further subdivided into partial and full integration. Respectively combining information, data, and designs, we further define these types of integration and describe their general benefits and challenges, such as Edited by: Juergen Pilz, strength of inference. We further use the Oil Sands Monitoring program in northern Alberta University of Klagenfurt, Austria as an example to clarify the practices common among integrated monitoring programs.

    MOOSA CROSSOVER PROJECT ESA 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SETTING This section of the ESA presents a summary description of the existing biophysical and socio-economic environment potentially affected by the Project. Results of field surveys conducted in 2012 and winter 2013 have been included in this ESA report. Vegetation and wildlife reconnaissance surveys were conducted in September 2012, and additional wildlife surveys were conducted in October 2012 and March 2013. Aquatic surveys were conducted in October 2012, and winter fisheries surveys were conducted in February 2013. Methods used to determine baseline conditions for each environmental or socio-economic resource are described in the relevant subsection. The Project is located in northeast Alberta, approximately 35 km northwest of Fort McMurray. The Project footprint is located within the Northern Alberta Lowlands Physiographic Region, and crosses Crown land in the Green Area of Alberta, including two watercourses. 5.1 Study Areas The spatial boundaries or study areas considered in the description of environmental setting and assessment of potential Project effects on the environmental components include one or more of the following: Project footprint, LSA, RSA, and socio-economic study area. These study areas were used to capture the potential direct and indirect effects of the Project on each VC and their associated KI, as well as to understand the context within which the effects can occur. The LSAs and RSAs used in the effects assessment vary by environmental and socio-economic element. The LSAs were established to assess the potential, largely direct effects of the Project on the local environment. Each VC and baseline setting component is considered in defining the LSAs.
