  • Backgrounder – Imperial Kearl Oil Sands Mine Hearings Affidavit Extracted from Federal Court of Canada Affidavit of Simon Dyer, Pembina Institute
    Backgrounder – Imperial Kearl Oil Sands Mine Hearings Affidavit Extracted from Federal Court of Canada Affidavit of Simon Dyer, Pembina Institute January 11, 2008 The Imperial Kearl Oil Sands Mine The Kearl Project is a proposed surface oil sands mine and processing facility north of Fort McMurray in Alberta. The Kearl Project is designed to produce more than 300,000 barrels per day of bitumen for a period of 50 years. Oil production is expected by 2010 and full capacity by 2018. The proposed Kearl Project will cover roughly 20,000 hectares (200 square kilometres) of land in northeast Alberta. For comparison, the Canadian Encyclopedia states that the West Edmonton Mall covers 49 hectares. This means that the landscape “footprint” of the Kearl Project will be approximately 400 times greater than that of the West Edmonton Mall. Assessment of Environmental Impacts On July 13, 2006, the federal Minister of Environment and the Chair of the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board signed the Agreement to Establish a Joint Panel for the Kearl Oil Sands Project. In November of 2006, the Panel held hearings, at which the Oil Sands Environmental Coalition (OSEC) appeared and made submissions. The Pembina Institute, as a member of OSEC, participated in and gave evidence at the hearings. On February 27, 2007, the Joint Panel published its report and recommendations concerning the Kearl Project, entitled Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Limited: Application for an Oil Sands Mine and Bitumen Process Facility (Kearl Oil Sands Project) in the Fort McMurray Area (the “Report”). This is available for download at www.ercb.ca (under 2007 Decisions).
