We're Building More than Pipelines - Northern Gateway

We’re Building More than Pipelines

We’re building Canada, bringing
growth to the north
We’re building sustainable communities
through jobs and investment

We’re building opportunity for all Canadians.
The Northern Gateway is far more than a pipeline.
It’s about creating economic opportunities, jobs and
the promise of a brighter future. And we will build this
new gateway to the world to the highest environmental
and safety standards.

An Update From Northern Gateway
Filing the application for regulatory review with the National Energy
Board (NEB) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency
(CEAA) is an important step forward for the Northern Gateway Project.
Over the last two years I’ve
had the pleasure, along
with other members of the
project team, to spend time in
many of the communities along
the route. During these visits
with community members, I’ve
had a number of discussions
about the project, ranging
from employment and local
hiring to Aboriginal business
opportunities and community
investment. One particular
issue that has been consistently
raised is the need to protect
the environment. I certainly
appreciate the importance that
local residents place on the environment and I
want to encourage all affected stakeholders and
Aboriginal people to continue to provide feedback
on our project.
The success of a project on the scale of Northern
Gateway depends on the support of the communities
it impacts. We know that this support will depend
on our ability to prove to communities that our
project is safe, that it has been planned responsibly
and that environmental protection will always be
front-of-mind throughout both construction and the
operational life of the project.
For this reason, we strongly encourage people to
participate in the regulatory review process. The
process will be led by a three-person Joint Review
Panel (JRP) appointed by the NEB and the Minister
of Environment. The JRP will need to ensure that all
“…environmental protection
will always be front-of-mind
throughout both construction
and the operational life
of the project.”
NORTHERNGATEWAY.CA
questions about the project have
been answered and be satisfi ed
that the project is in the public
interest. The Secretariat to the
JRP will conduct information
sessions with the public and
Aboriginal people to assist in
understanding the joint review
process and the ways in which
one can participate and make
their views known to the Panel.
As a fi nal thought, I would
like to suggest that people
also consider the numerous
benefi ts that Northern Gateway
can provide to the residents
of northern BC and Alberta. These include
employment, skills development, procurement
opportunities and contributions to the community
and the province through a secure tax base at local,
provincial and federal levels.
We encourage you to get involved and to contact
us with your questions and suggestions. To fi nd out
more about the NEB-led regulatory review process,
please go to www.neb.gc.ca, or feel free to email me
at john@northerngateway.ca with any questions you
may have.

Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines

A Fair and Open Discussion
Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines’ application will undergo regulatory review
with the National Energy Board (NEB) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment
Agency (CEAA). Other federal government agencies will also be involved as responsible
authorities, including: Transport Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Indian and
Northern Affairs Canada and Natural Resources Canada. Provincial agencies and
resource managers may also contribute to the review in an advisory capacity.
The regulatory fi ling represents an important
step forward in the public review of the
project and is another opportunity for
Aboriginal people, community leaders and
citizens to ask questions about the project
and provide their feedback. There are various
ways to participate in the
regulatory process and
information on that will be
sent out by the regulator.
National Energy Board
The NEB is an independent
federal agency that regulates
international and interprovincial
aspects of the oil, gas and
electric utility industries
It regulates the construction
and operation of interprovincial
pipelines to ensure they are in
the public interest and that
they are built and operated in
a safe and secure manner
Should Northern Gateway
receive approval, it will be
regulated by the NEB for the
life of the project
The Minister of the Environment
and the NEB have appointed
three experienced people to
serve as the JRP.
The JRP will address two
fundamental questions:
In terms of the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act,
will the project cause
signifi cant adverse effects on
the environment?
In terms of the National Energy
Board Act, is the project in the
public interest?
Canadian Environmental
Assessment Agency
CEAA is responsible for
coordinating environmental
assessments of projects that
involve decisions by the
federal government
The CEA Act requires that an
environmental assessment be
carried out before a federal
authority issues a permit or
licence, grants an approval or
takes any other action that
would enable a project to
proceed with development

A World-Class Gateway
As the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken between the two
provinces, the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project will bring economic
opportunities to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups across northern
British Columbia and Alberta. With an estimated capital cost of
$5.5 billion, Northern Gateway will create thousands of job opportunities
for regional residents throughout project construction and operations,
while providing approximately $36 million of property taxes annually.
Northern Gateway will be a model of world-class safety and
environmental standards.

Located in Kitimat at the end of the
Douglas Channel, one of the widest
and deepest inland waterways on
North America’s West Coast, the Kitimat
Marine Terminal will be a model of world-
class safety and navigational standards.
To help ensure those standards are met,
Northern Gateway is participating in a
voluntary assessment known as the
TERMPOL Review Process, administered
by Transport Canada. This review
process evaluates marine terminal
operations, vessel routing and other
marine safety issues. As part of this
process, Northern Gateway, together
with interested participants, also
completed a Quantitative Risk Assessment
(QRA) to evaluate the marine
operational components of the project.

include the following proposed marine safety standards:
All vessels entering Kitimat Marine Terminal
will be modern and double-hulled
Operational safety limits will be established to cover
visibility, wind and sea conditions
The escort tugs will have extensive fi rst response
capabilities to provide immediate assistance if required
(available to any ship in distress)
Northern Gateway will install an advanced radar system to
cover important route sections to provide guidance to pilots
and all marine traffi c on the Northwest coast
Additional navigational aids will be installed, such as
navigation beacons, buoys and lights throughout the
confi ned channel area
Prior to arrival in Canadian waters, all vessels will be vetted
by independent, third-party agencies and will be required to
meet Northern Gateway’s safety and environmental standards
Vessel speed will be reduced in the marine channels
to between 8 and 12 knots
All tankers visiting the Kitimat Marine Terminal will
be safely guided by certifi ed marine pilots
While docked at the Northern Gateway Kitimat
Marine Terminal, tankers loading export oil will be
surrounded by a containment boom
Information from new weather stations along
the route will be available to all vessels

“Northern Gateway’s shipping routes can be safely navigated
by the largest ships proposed for the project. In fact, at
the narrowest points the Douglas and Principe Channels
have waterway-to-vessel width ratios three times wider than
Transport Canada’s minimum recommendation.”
Chris Anderson, Master Mariner, Principal, Portplan
Over the past 25 years, more than 1,500 ships have safely travelled
to Kitimat carrying petrochemical products, including methanol,
ammonia and condensate. For Northern Gateway, three tanker routes
are proposed, all of which are existing shipping routes. The routes
include the North route via Dixon Entrance and Browning Entrance,
the South route via Queen Charlotte Sound and Caamaño Sound
and the South route via Queen Charlotte Sound and Browning Entrance.

know the intricacies of BC’s
coastline and work together
with the captains of ships to
safely navigate vessels into
our ports. A pilot’s primary
concern is the safety of the
ship, crew and marine habitat.
Pilots must go through years
of intensive training before
they are accepted into the elite
position of licensed pilots, and
only then the most qualifi ed,
experienced and knowledgeable
mariners are accepted.
Establishing Safe Routes Today, large vessels safely travel to ports up
and down the BC coast. At the narrowest point along the route
(1.4 km wide),* the proposed vessels to be used in the Douglas and
Principe Channels have waterway-to-vessel width ratios three times
larger than TERMPOL minimum recommendation of 455 metres
for a two-way channel width for the largest proposed vessel.

Protecting the Environment
At Northern Gateway, safeguarding the quality of life enjoyed
by communities along the project route is always front-ofmind,
and we understand that the best way to do this is to
protect the environment. As such, the long-term success of our
project depends on our ability to construct the project in an
environmentally responsible way.
As part of Northern Gateway’s planning, a team of over
200 environmental experts and scientists conducted a
comprehensive analysis along the project route in areas such
as marine biology, soil, vegetation, wildlife, water resources,
fi sh, human health, archaeology and others. The fi ndings of this
analysis have been incorporated into our planning to ensure
that construction proceeds safely and responsibly and that
our environmental impact is minimized throughout the
operational life of the project.
Safe Pipeline Construction
Before construction begins,
Enbridge obtains right-of-way
or easement agreements from
landowners and arranges for
fair fi nancial compensation
for use of the land.
Environmental and safety
inspections begin as
soon as the construction
crews start.

Clearing and grading Construction
begins by clearing and grading the
right-of-way. The construction of pipelines
causes short-term disruption when the
ground is excavated to lay pipe.
Trenching Layers of soil are peeled
away and stored until the pipe is laid.
Construction crews dig the trench for
the pipe. The depth of the pipeline
trench will typically be a metre or more
beneath the surface.
Stringing/Bending Pipe is laid out
along the right-of-way. Individual joints
of pipe are bent to fi t the terrain using a
hydraulic bending machine, and the pipe
is prepared for welding.
There are a number of measures we are committed to following
to ensure the environment is protected, including:
Continued careful planning, strict construction standards and ongoing
careful monitoring of company activities
Meeting or exceeding government regulations and standards
for environmental protection
Training employees and contractors so they understand their responsibility
to protect the environment and follow environmental rules and procedures
Providing the public and government with relevant information regarding
planned activities and responding to their concerns
Quick remediation of environmental damage resulting from our actions
or the actions of our contractors
Environmental research will be encouraged, supported and undertaken
to continually improve our company’s environmental protection
and restoration procedures
Proven Safety Management
Pipeline safety begins with route selection and continues
through design, construction and the operational life of
the pipelines. Enbridge takes pride in its longstanding
reputation as a safe pipeline operator and socially responsible
company. We have over 60 years of experience in pipeline design,
construction, operations and environmental protection. Northern
Gateway’s environmental and safety features for the pipelines include:
• The route selection minimizes potential
geotechnical issues and ensures that the
pipelines are located within a stable corridor
• The route selection minimizes the number of
sensitive water crossings and optimizes the
locations of crossings to avoid critical habitat
• All water crossing techniques will be
approved by Fisheries and Oceans Canada
and the National Energy Board
• Safety control valves and leak detection
systems will provide strong safeguards
for the environment
Welding/Coating Welders join the
pipes together using either manual or
automated welding technologies. Welds
are inspected and certifi ed by X-ray or
ultrasonic methods. Pipeline joints are
coated and inspected.
Lowering in and tie-ins Construction
crews gently lower the welded pipe into the
trench. A separate crew completes tie-ins,
connecting continuous lengths of pipeline
that have been lowered into the trench.
The pipelines will be monitored 24/7 and in-line
inspection tools will be used to measure size,
frequency and location of any anomalies indicating
even the slightest change in the pipeline system.
• The pipelines will be protected with both a
fusion bond epoxy coating and a cathodic
protection system to prevent corrosion
• The pipelines will be monitored and controlled
24/7 from the operations centre in Edmonton
• Technology and strict operational
standards will ensure rapid and effective
emergency response
• The pipelines will be monitored and
inspected using air patrols, a line pressure
monitor alarm system, annual soil surveys,
in-line inspections, investigative excavations
and slope stability monitoring

Enbridge is committed to ensuring that
vessels transporting petroleum products via the
Northern Gateway Terminal will be operated to
the highest internationally recognized safety and
environmental standards. The safe passage
of marine vessels will be achieved through a
comprehensive strategy that brings together the
best people, technology and planning. The marine
strategy will include standards such as modern,
double-hulled vessels escorted by powerful stateof-the-art
tugs, vessels under the guidance of
experienced BC-based marine pilots through
coastal waterways and a new radar monitoring
facility to provide additional marine safety.

Meaningful Consultation and Engagement
The future of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project rests with the
communities of the North. We are committed to meaningful and open
discussion with Aboriginals, stakeholders, communities and private
landowners in BC and Alberta.
Enbridge has a long history
of working with Aboriginal
groups and has put in place
a detailed Aboriginal policy
that identifi es paths to mutual
success. We have embraced a
new relationship with Aboriginal
peoples across Canada and
recognize Aboriginal rights.
Northern Gateway is
committed to working with
First Nations and Métis groups
along the pipeline route to
create meaningful economic
opportunities and to incorporate
traditional knowledge into the
planning and operations of the
project. A measure of our success
will be our ability to accomplish
these goals.
To achieve this high level
of respectful and meaningful
involvement, Northern Gateway
is seeking to develop:
Aboriginal equity ownership in
the Kitimat Marine Terminal and
pipeline operations
Protocol Agreements that provide funds
to support a dialogue between Northern
Gateway and Aboriginal groups
Additional agreements that
cover specifi c opportunities
such as employment, training,
business procurement and
environmental protection
A coastal community strategy to
build upon the local knowledge and
skills of coastal First Nations
“Northern Gateway would provide
a predictable revenue stream for
local government and jobs for
both Aboriginal and non-
Aboriginal people in the
community, as well as opening
the door for new marine
occupations for coastal
communities. As we look at the
opportunities that may create
jobs, we also have to recognize
that it must be done in an
environmentally sustainable way.
If the environmental review
process confi rms that no harm
will be done, these are the
kind of direct community
benefi ts that I would like to
see happen in Kitimat and along
the shipping route.”
Joanne Monaghan, Mayor of Kitimat
“What’s most impressive
about this initiative is the
demonstrated willingness of
Enbridge to engage communities
throughout the process, to
listen to concerns and to meet
the requirements of stringent
environmental regulations.”
Dan Rogers, Mayor of Prince George
Northern Gateway’s public
consultation program is
designed to:
provide information about
the project
identify issues
listen to concerns and
answer questions
obtain input into environmental,
economic and community benefi ts
obtain input and incorporate
it into project design, planning
construction and operations,
where practical
establish a community-based forum,
in the form of community advisory
boards, for stakeholder participation
and input throughout the entire
project lifecycle
Public consultation is an
integral component of Northern
Gateway, because we believe that
the project can be improved by
gaining local knowledge, insight
and recommendations from
people along the pipeline route as
well as others potentially affected
by the project. We encourage
stakeholders and participating
Aboriginal groups to share
their thoughts and help identify
environmental, economic, social
and business concerns and
opportunities for communities
throughout the life of the project.
Community Engagement
and Community Advisory Boards
Northern Gateway is undertaking an
extensive community engagement program
for the project. The community engagement
program offers a wide variety of opportunities
for individuals and organizations to learn
about the project and provide input. The
opportunities include public open houses,
presentations to local governments and
community organizations, small group
meetings, local offi ces in Kitimat and Terrace,
a project website, newsletters, blog, a project
toll-free number and email address.
To complement these community engagement
activities, Northern Gateway has established
community advisory boards. Community
advisory boards bring diverse interests
together, providing an opportunity for
meaningful exchange among Northern
Gateway, Aboriginal groups, non-Aboriginal
communities, industry and the general
public. It is envisioned that these will be in
place for the lifetime of the project.
Building Sustainable Communities
As a leader in Corporate Social
Responsibility, we see Culture &
Community, Education, Environment and
Health & Safety as key building blocks for
a sustainable community.
Enbridge’s community investment
program supports not-for-profi t
organizations through fi nancial
contributions and human resources. In
2010, Enbridge will invest over $10 million
with numerous charities, non-profi t and
community organizations across Canada
and the United States.

Nurturing Economic Growth
The construction and operation of Northern Gateway will deliver sustainable economic
and social benefi ts to local communities in Alberta and British Columbia.
Should the project receive regulatory approval, it will create a lasting legacy of local
investment, tax revenue and jobs for the North, over and above the tremendous benefi ts
created by access to new and growing markets for Canadian natural resources.
At a time when the economy in northern BC is changing, many communities are looking
for other sources of revenue and employment. Northern Gateway has the potential to
support economic growth in the region and contribute to an energy sector that has
generated $7.5 billion in net royalties to BC since 2003.
Benefi ts Include:
Total local, provincial and federal
government tax revenues during
30 years of operations will be
approximately $2.6 billion; this
includes about $36 million per year
estimated to be paid by Northern
Gateway as local property taxes
About 1,150 long-term job
opportunities throughout the
Canadian economy, including 104
permanent operating positions
created with Northern Gateway and
113 positions with the associated
marine services
About 62,700 person-years of
employment will be created
throughout the Canadian economy
during the construction phase of
the project, with 3,000 direct on-site
workers required during the peak
period of construction
“The Enbridge Northern Gateway Project
represents jobs and some much-needed
investment in a region that has been hit
hard by the recession and the decline
in our traditional resource industries.
You also have to consider the value
of introducing some diversity into the
northern economy, so you have some
balance and people have more options in
terms of employment.”

Building Partnerships With Canadians
Our success hinges on our reputation. Meaningful engagement and
sustainable, respectful relationships with all those directly impacted
by Northern Gateway are fundamental prerequisites for acquiring
and maintaining our social licence to operate.
Through Enbridge’s Neutral Footprint
Program, Northern
Gateway will work
with conservation and
environmental partners
to counter the impacts to
land and trees caused by
the project. The program
advances various stewardship
and habitat protection
initiatives, such as:
As a world leader in
energy transportation and
delivery, we recognize our role
in addressing issues related to
climate change and the
impacts of energy resource
development.
The Enbridge Natural Legacy Program
is an opportunity for Enbridge to
demonstrate our ongoing commitment
to environmental stewardship, habitat
remediation and protection. The program
has a successful track record of
working with organizations such as the

Trade Routes mobile training facility
provided students with the opportunity
to develop skills and abilities that
will not only help them to secure their own
economic future, but will also contribute to
the economic future of their communities
through the construction and development
of large infrastructure projects planned for
northern BC. This state-of-the-art mobile
training facility offered students introductory
trades training, apprenticeship technical
training and journey person upgrading.
Enbridge was proud to be the lead corporate
sponsor of this important initiative when
it launched in 2007. We believe Northern
Gateway represents a real opportunity for
British Columbians to develop skills that can
be applied to a variety of industries after the
construction of our project is complete.

60 Years of Safety and Innovation
Enbridge’s success has been built on a 60-year history of safe, reliable and environmentally
responsible operations combined with a tradition of mutually benefi cial relationships with our
stakeholders and the communities in which we operate.
From its inception in 1949, Enbridge has placed the highest priority on the safety and reliability
of its operations. Our goal is to prevent all spills and leaks from our energy transportation and
distribution systems. We invest heavily in pipeline integrity and maintenance encompassing all of
the tools, technologies and strategies needed to ensure our pipeline networks have the strength
and operating “fi tness” to do their job safely and reliably.
For Enbridge – as well as the landowners and communities along the right-of-way – this focus on
pipeline integrity has enormous implications. It’s a major step towards ensuring safe, incident-free
operations on one of the longest and most sophisticated liquid hydrocarbon pipelines in the world
that transports more than 2 million barrels of liquid petroleum resources every day.
In 2010, Enbridge was named
to the Global 100 Most
Sustainable Corporations,
ranking highest among
Canadian companies.
Enbridge’s pipeline systems
have operated for over 60
years and today comprise
approximately 15,280
kilometres of pipeline.
We have a growing
involvement in the natural
gas transmission and
midstream businesses.
As a distributor of energy,
Enbridge owns and operates
Canada’s largest natural
gas distribution company,
and provides distribution
services in Ontario, Quebec,
New Brunswick and
New York State.
Enbridge is committed to
fostering the development
of renewable and alternative
energy sources, with
interests in more than
560 megawatts of
environmentally responsible
power generation.
We’ve been recognized as
one of Corporate Knights
Best 50 Corporate Citizens

WE WILL GENERATE A KILOWATT
OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
FOR EVERY KILOWATT OF POWER
OUR OPERATIONS CONSUME.
At Enbridge, we’re big believers in balance. This is why we’re
generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every kilowatt of
electricity we use to power our pipelines. That’s not only good
for the environment, it’s good for business.
Our growing interests in green energy – including wind, solar,
heat recovery and hybrid fuel cells – generate attractive
returns for investors. Currently our investments in renewable
and alternative power have the capacity to produce more than
560 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to meet the
energy needs of approximately 180,000 Canadian homes.
As one of the world’s 100 most sustainable companies – and
one of Canada’s Greenest Employers – we’re delivering far
more than energy. We’re delivering on our commitment to
achieve a neutral environmental footprint.
