Pipeline Safety Date 1 Safe and Efficient

Pipeline Safety Date 1

Safe and Efficient Energy Highways ■ Move 1. 2 billion barrels of crude and refined products and 5. 5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas each year ■ Pipeline are underground and safe – The safest and only feasible means of transporting vast quantities of crude and natural gas over land – Inherently safer than other modes of transportation ■ Ruptures on pipelines are rare and declining – Pipeline integrity programs – Advanced technologies for monitoring and maintenance ■ No public fatalities in more than a decade Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 2

Pipeline Monitoring and Maintenance ■ Monitoring – 24/7 monitoring at remote control centres using sophisticated computerized sensing and control systems – Equipped with automated leak detection alarms and shut-down devices – Regular visual surveys of pipelines by aerial and ground patrols – Sophisticated “in-line” inspection tools (pigs) inspect the inside of pipes to identify changes ■ Maintenance – Preventative maintenance programs including constant pipeline excavations and repairs Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 4

Emergency Response ■ Immediately activate emergency response plans once a problem is identified at the control centre – Dispatch crews emergency services – Confirm, pinpoint and secure the area of an incident – Ensure the public is out of harm’s way ■ Respond immediately to pipeline leaks, using the best available technologies to restore pipeline systems and the environment Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 5

External Damage: Growing Safety Risk ■ Activity within close proximity to pipeline poses greatest risk to public safety - In US third party interference accounts for 16% of incidents but 31% of fatalities ■ ■ Increased education and patrols are essential, but activity on the ground is largely beyond the control of operating companies Missing critical elements to effective regulatory enforcement Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 6

Effective Damage Prevention Program Our damage prevention programs in Canada are missing three key elements: ■ ■ ■ Mandatory One-Call System Universal One-Call 3 -Digit Number Civil Enforcement Matrix Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 8

Damage Prevention Regulations ■ ■ Canada needs a comprehensive approach to damage prevention enforcement Goal: to reduce the number of unauthorized activities across pipeline easements – This should include a system of graduated penalties to coincide with increasing levels of offence ■ CEPA is seeking amendments to existing legislation to allow for a graduated civil penalty matrix – To encourage behavourial change for those who chose to ignore existing requirements over pipeline right of ways Ensuring a safe and viable pipeline industry in Canada 9
