Q1 2015 Began Indigenous and stakeholder engagement with impacted NGTL, as part of the retirement of these assets, has developed abandonment landowners and communities plans for submission to the NEB that reflect input from interested parties including landowners. The abandonment plans developed help us determine the Q2 2015 Began site-specific evaluations at the proposed asset appropriate approach for the facilities that minimizes the impact to landowners, abandonment sites communities and the environment. Q3 2016 Filed a Section 74 Abandonment application with the NEB The plan includes the removal of the above ground facilities including buildings, Q3 2018 Subject to regulatory approvals, begin project activities at yard piping and unnecessary fencing. In addition to the removal of facilities, there will be some locations where associated below ground pipelines will select sites be removed. All pipeline assets to be abandoned will be thoroughly cleaned, cutting the line in select locations and capping sections of line to safely leave What is considered when planning for abandonment? them buried in the ground. Throughout project development, NGTL regularly We are committed to managing our pipeline assets throughout their full life reviews our proposed activities to ensure the most effective and efficient cycle. When assets are no longer needed, abandonment is done safely with no strategies are in place for construction. financial liability to landowners. TransCanada will follow guidelines set out by the NEB for the project to ensure How will I be notified of project activities? that three key factors are considered: TransCanada sent the NEB letter of intent to stakeholders in the first quarter of • Safety – minimize the risk to the public, employees and contractors 2015. We will continue to engage landowners, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders to let them know about planned activities as we move forward • Environmental protection – minimal long-term environmental effects with this Project. • Cost effectiveness – the safety and environmental objectives are met in TransCanada believes engagement is a two-way process and invites a cost effective manner landowners, communities and other interested stakeholders including Indigenous communities to share their questions and concerns with us. We will provide information, follow up, and where feasible, incorporate input into our plans. Please do not hesitate to contact TransCanada if you have any questions.

For facilities that are to be removed, we plan to reclaim the land. Where facilities are left in place, the surface land How does TransCanada engage with will be reclaimed. During this process, all responsibility associated with the facilities will be maintained (e.g., pipeline signage and responding to Alberta Indigenous communities? One Call requests).
