(“Access”), Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (“Enbridge”) is applying for approval to construct a custody transfer metering system and associated facilities at Enbridge’s existing Edmonton Terminal. Access is planning to construct a new NPS 24 pipeline in a pipe rack across the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal with deliveries of commodities to Enbridge and Kinder Morgan, Inc. These facilities are required by Access in order to receive Devon Energy and MEG Energy heavy synbit blend production into the Enbridge system at Enbridge’s Edmonton Terminal. Project components consist of a meter manifold and prover skid, Quality Assurance building, belowground sump tank, and associated electrical and instrumentation components. Access has indicated that the initial maximum instantaneous flow rates will be 18,600 m3/d (117,000 barrels per day), with ultimate design flow rates of up to 127,186 m3/d (800,000 barrels per day). Enbridge understands that Access has received AEUB approval for their pipeline and pipe rack (AEUB Licence Number 46674). Construction activities will take place from March 2007 (pending receipt of regulatory approval) until December 2007. The new metering facilities are expected to be in-service by December 31, 2007. 2 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 ENGINEERING DESIGN DETAILS The transfer facility at the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal will include the installation of the following new components: • a NPS 24, SCH 80, Gr 241, Cat 1, supply connection from Access to the new metering manifold; • automatic sampling and density measurement systems in a common building; • a custody transfer metering manifold with 3 – 12” PD meters, 24” input and output headers, and a NPS 16 connection to a common skid mounted NPS 30 bi-directional meter prover; • a NPS 24, SCH 80, Gr 241, Cat 1, discharge line from the metering manifold to Manifold 201; • a NPS 14, SCH 80, Gr 241, Cat 1, relief line from the metering manifold to Manifold 204; • a new electrical building complete with MCC for power and control for all pumps, valves, and instrumentation; • a custody transfer flow computer, PLC system, and SCADA connections to both Enbridge and Access facilities; • a 5000 USG sump tank and drainage system; and • components necessary for full cathodic protection of underground facilities. The proposed transfer facility will require the modification of the following existing components: • a new NPS 24 discharge connection to existing 34” TK 26 tank line; • a new NPS 24 discharge connection to existing 48” TK 27 tank line; • a new NPS 14, SCH 80, Gr 241, Cat 1, relief connection at Manifold 204; and • MCC and control system modifications. Enbridge will control the facilities from the Enbridge Pipeline Control Centre, located in the Enbridge Tower in Edmonton. Together this work will comprise “the Project”. 3 2.2 ENGINEERING DESIGN PHILOSOPHY AND ONSHORE PIPELINE REGULATIONS Enbridge has filed with the NEB its Operations and Maintenance Manuals and shall comply with all of the requirements of the Onshore Pipeline Regulations, 1999 (“OPR”), to the extent they are relevant to the Project. Further, Enbridge shall design and construct the Project in accordance with CSA Z662-03, and Enbridge’s Engineering Standards, as well as Enbridge's Environmental Guidelines for Construction (2003) (“EGC”).

Non Destructive Testing (“NDT”) techniques will be used to check the integrity of welded components. 2.4 ALTERNATIVES Access is proposing to construct a new pipeline in a pipe rack across the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal in order to receive Devon Energy and MEG Energy heavy synbit blend production into the Enbridge system at Enbridge’s Edmonton Terminal. Current metering facilities at the Edmonton Terminal will not be able to accommodate the volumes that will be transported on the new Access pipeline. A receipt meter manifold is required to accept the incremental volumes and to deliver to existing tankage at Enbridge’s Edmonton Terminal. Therefore, no other alternative was considered in the development of this project. 6 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT This Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment (“ESA”) has been undertaken in accordance with the NEB’s Filing Manual under section 58 of the NEB Act. Pursuant to Guide A.2.1 of the Filing Manual , the level of detail contained within this assessment corresponds to the nature and magnitude of the anticipated environmental impacts. 3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Enbridge’s Edmonton Terminal is located at SE 5-53-23 W4M within Sherwood Park east of Edmonton, Alberta (Figure 1). Due to the industrial setting of the area, it is not considered to be environmentally sensitive. The Kinder Morgan Edmonton Terminal is located immediately to the west and the Petro- Canada refinery is located immediately north of the site. Baseline Road and Shell Canada property are located directly to the south and Highway 216 and Provincial Public Works and Services lands are located directly east of the Terminal. Apart from NEB approval, no additional environmental permits, other than relevant notification, will be required to construct the Project at the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal. Notification under Alberta’s Water Act Code of Practice for withdrawal / release of hydrostatic test water will be required for the Project. 7 8 3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SETTING A summary of the biophysical and socio-economic elements pertaining to the Project is provided in Table 1. Information collected was obtained from existing literature and Internet searches. The study areas discussed in the assessment include: project footprint (area of disturbance) or a local study area (defined as approximately 400 m). The nearest residence is located approximately 1800 m southeast of the site.
