Open Houses Well Attended More than 100 residents came out during open houses held in early November to share perspectives and gather input on Enbridge’s Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project.

The events—at the Canadian

Warplane Heritage Museum in

the Mount Hope area (Nov. 3),

the Ancaster Fairgrounds

(Nov. 4), and the Mississaugas

of the New Credit Community

Centre (Nov. 5)—featured

displays on various aspects

of the project, videos, iPad

stations where guests could

‘walk’ the proposed pipeline

route, and even a working

model of a pipeline complete with samples of the different types of crude oil that the line carries.

Thanks to all who attended these events—if we missed you and you have questions regarding the project, please visit our website, send us an email or give us a call; we’ll be pleased to answer your questions.

“With all of the pipeline work that is going on in the region, it was the first time someone explained to us with a model how pipelines work, which was great.” Open House Attendee

Project Application Filed with National Energy BoardIn December, our regulatory application for the proposed Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project was submitted to the National Energy Board (NEB). —Over the next several months, the NEB will assess Enbridge’s application, which describes our plans in various areas including:

• Landowner and other stakeholder consultation;

• Aboriginal engagement;

• Environment and socio-economic effects identification and mitigation;

• Proposed routing;

• Engineering, including technical assessment of the segment of Line 10 proposed for decommissioning;

• Construction, including technical specifications for watercourse crossings;

• Emergency Management; and,

• Security.

Making a Safe Pipeline Safer What’s Happening

Archeological Field Studies CommencePreliminary archeological studies have concluded that the 35-kilometre segment replacement route ‘footprint’—from Enbridge’s Westover Terminal to the Nanticoke Junction—has a “high potential” for encountering archeological sites.

—As a result of this finding, detailed field studies known as a Stage 2 Assessment have begun within the project footprint. For this important Line 10 work, Enbridge has retained an Ontario-based archeological consultant with a strong track record of working with landowners, municipalities (including

the City of Hamilton), public and private organizations, First Nations’ communities, scholars and the public.

Landowners along the project right-of-way have received a Fact Sheet (it can also be found on enbridge.com/line10) describing this work in detail.

iPads allowed attendees to locate the proposed route in location to their property,

As Enbridge builds for the future with the proposed Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project, we are mindful and respectful of the past. Identifying and ensuring the protection of artifacts—or other physical evidence of past human activity that may be of cultural heritage value or interest—is an integral part of the careful planning that goes into all of our pipeline construction projects.

Enbridge’s Line 10

Preserving our heritage and historyArcheological field studies are integral to pipeline construction

What is ‘archeological potential’?

Archeological potential reflects the likelihood of finding archeological material on a property. The location of archeological sites is generally dictated by factors that would have encouraged settlement and land use such as: proximity to active and former watercourses, historic transportation routes, buildings and settlement areas, previously registered archeological sites, and areas historically containing natural resources.

Why are archeological resources important?

Archeological sites and materials are resources that are protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. These resources

are managed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS). MTCS requires that the appropriate stages of archaeological assessment be completed in accordance with its requirements.

What if an archeological site is found on my property?

In most cases, the archeological sites found in the study area will have been disturbed by previous activity (such as farming). Sometimes a site is found which can yield important information about the past. In this case, Enbridge’s archaeologists may need to return to a property to conduct additional work. If so, our representative will contact a landowner to explain the type of work which will need to be completed.

One of our three open houses was held in the shadow of some of Canada’s great warplanes.

Our application benefited from the input we received from the community, in particular landowners along the project right-of-way, governments at all levels and local First Nations.

We welcome you to review  the application, which can be found at: enbridge.com/line10 or on the NEB website: neb-one.gc.ca

Keeping you informed —We’ve created this newsletter with the goal of keeping you and your community well informed and up-to-date, as the Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project progresses through the National Energy Board regulatory review process.

We know you lead busy lives, so we’ve made an effort to keep our stories brief and informative. For those who want to dig deeper and learn more, enbridge.com/line10 has a wealth of project-specific facts and information at your fingertips.

Most importantly, we welcome your feedback at any time—should you have questions or concerns, we encourage you contact us.

We value your input and are committed to responding as promptly as possible throughout the life of this project. Thank you for your time and interest in Enbridge and this important pipeline maintenance project.

What is the Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project?

Our regulatory application will include a plan to decommission the segment of Line 10 that’s to be replaced. This segment will be taken out of service safely and permanently,

but left in place while other pipelines in the same right-of-way continue to operate

The decommissioning process is designed to minimize the e�ect on communities and the environment:

It reduces the risk of soil stability issues

Why is the pipeline left in place?

It avoids major construction activities, and reduces the

potential risk to existing pipelines from heavy equipment

Line 10Westover Segment Replacement ProjectEnbridge is planning to replace a 35-kilometre (21-mile) segment of our Line 10 pipeline, from the Westover Terminal to the Nanticoke Junction. This segment has experienced an increasing number of preventative maintenance digs to inspect and repair the line and has reached our conservative threshold for replacement

opportunities for southern Ontario goods and services providers,

including Aboriginal businesses. Hotels, grocery stores, restaurants and

many other local businesses will also benefit from the presence of work crews during project construction

A peak construction labour force of 300

persons is expected

The Westover Segment Replacement Project will proactively address pipeline maintenance requirements, improve reliability and safety of the system

and restore the pipeline to its original operating capacity
