Ugrvgodgt!3127 Technical Report TR-22 Vancouver Fraser Port Authority Development Permit Application Consultation Summary – Westridge Marine Terminal Appendix Y TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT Proposed by: Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC SUMMARY ASSESSMENT REPORT Prepared by: Environmental Assessment Office pursuant to Section 17 of the Environmental Assessment Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.43 December 8, 2016 1. Introduction Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (Trans Mountain), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Canada, proposes to build and operate the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX), which would consist of approximately 987 kilometres (km) of new oil pipeline and the reactivation of 193 km of existing oil pipeline between Edmonton, Alberta and Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). The TMX Project constituted a reviewable project under BC’s Environmental Assessment Act (Act) pursuant to Part 4 of the Reviewable Projects Regulation, since it includes a new transmission pipeline with a diameter > 323.9 millimetre (mm) and a length of ≥ 40 km. TMX also required a federal environmental assessment (EA) under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) and the National Energy Board Act (NEBA), which was undertaken by the National Energy Board (NEB). In 2010 the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and the NEB entered into an EA Equivalency Agreement (NEB-EAO Agreement),1 under the terms of this agreement, the EA process completed by the NEB is substituted for the provincial EA process under the Act, and the NEB Report is accepted as the EA technical assessment report. On December 16, 2013, Trans Mountain submitted an application to the NEB for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) and other requested relief to construct and operate TMX. In January 2016, the BC Supreme Court found that, to the extent that the NEB-EAO Agreement dispensed with the requirement for a Provincial decision by ministers on the provision of an EA Certificate, it was invalid. This decision had the practical impact of effectively converting the NEB-EAO Agreement to a substitution agreement. The EAO is required to prepare a summary assessment report that summarizes the key findings of the NEB Report2 that are relevant to BC’s statutory decision makers (i.e., Minister of Environment and Minister of Natural Gas Development) to inform their decision regarding the issuance of an EA Certificate under Section 17(3) of the Act. This summary assessment report (Report) provides this summary along with an overview of the other key aspects of the provincial EA process that was completed for TMX. In particular, this Report provides a brief description of TMX, describes the EA process undertaken federally and provincially, summarizes the key conclusions and recommendations from the NEB Report, summarizes the key conclusions of the Crown’s Aboriginal Consultation and Accommodation Report (CAR), summarizes supplemental information provided by Trans Mountain, provides an overview of the EA Certificate conditions proposed by EAO to the Ministers should they decide to approve TMX, and finally provides a summary of EAO’s conclusions. 2. Project Description TMX would twin (or loop) the existing Trans Mountain pipeline system (TMPL), which was authorized in 1951 and completed construction in 1953, and consists of a 1147 km, 610 mm (or 24 inch) pipeline 1 http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/pdf/NEB-EAO_Equivilancy_Agreement_20100621.pdf 2 This requirement arises from the Section 11 Order issued for the Project, as discussed in Section 3 of this report.
