ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS VOLUME 8 ENVIRONMENTAL ALIGNMENT SHEET PACKAGE FOR THE TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE ULC TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT NEB CONDITION 72 October 2017 REV 4 687945 01-13283-SG-0000-CHE-DWG-0001 R4 Prepared for: Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. Suite 2700, 300 – 5th Avenue S.W. Calgary, Alberta T2P 5J2 Ph: 403-514-6400 Visual Guide to TMEP’s Environmental Plans to the NEB Conditions Related to the Environmental Protection Plan Trans Mountain’s environmental program during construction is presented in ten volumes of the Environmental Plans as shown in the visual guide below. The Environmental Plans will be implemented by contractors and Environmental Inspectors during all phases of construction. Consequently the ten volumes of plans cover all aspects of Environmental Management. To demonstrate compliance with NEB Conditions, Trans Mountain will file the Environmental Plans with the NEB. To clarify how TMEP’s Environmental Plan Volumes relate to Condition documents filed with the NEB please see the table below.

Potential environmental and socio-economic issues identified during Project planning, and their corresponding mitigation measures, are positioned below their respective location on the Photomosaic. Resource-specific Environmental Notes are included below the Photomosaic outlining mitigation measures to be implemented during construction of the Project as described in the Environmental Plans, specifically the Pipeline Environmental Protection Plan (Pipeline EPP) (Volume 2 of the Environmental Plans), the Environmental Management Plans (Volume 6 of the Environmental Plans) and the Resource-Specific Mitigation Tables (Volume 7 of the Environmental Plans). The mitigation measures included on these Index Sheets do not include all of the potential mitigation measures that may be implemented. Consult the Environmental Plans for additional protection measures as necessary. Drawings can be found in Appendix C of the Pipeline EPP.
