PROJECT OVERVIEW
Enbridge’s Gateway Project is
an important part of Canada’s
energy future and will help
ensure there is enough
capacity to transport new oil
expected from Canada’s oil
sands in the years to come.
Enbridge continues environmental, engineering
and land field work for two pipelines, which
would be built along the same right-of-way.
• Petroleum export pipeline from
Strathcona County near Bruderheim,
Alberta to a new marine terminal in
Kitimat, British Columbia.
• Condensate import pipeline from
the new marine terminal in British
Columbia to Strathcona County.
GATEWAY PROJECT SCOPE
The Enbridge Gateway Project
involves the proposed development
of two new pipelines, a new marine
terminal, tankage, pumping stations
and related facilities:
• A 1150 kilometre long, 30-inch
or 36-inch (762 mm or 914 mm)
diameter petroleum export
pipeline designed to move an
average of 400,000 barrels per
day from Strathcona County,
Alberta to a new marine terminal
in Kitimat, British Columbia
• A 1150 kilometre long, 20-inch
(508 mm) diameter condensate
import pipeline designed to move
in excess of 150,000 barrels per
day from the new marine terminal
to Strathcona County
• Both pipelines would be built
along the same right-of-way
• Tankage to be located at the new
marine terminal
• Pumping stations and related
facilities
• Total approximate capital cost:
$4 billion

Construction begins by
clearing and grading the
right-of-way. The construction
of pipelines causes shortterm disruption when the
ground is excavated. Pipe
is typically laid a metre or
more beneath the surface.
Environmental and safety
inspections begin as soon as
the construction crews start.
Layers of soil are peeled
away and stored until the
pipe is laid. Construction
crews dig the ditch for
the pipe. The depth of the
pipeline trench depends
on the size of pipe and
location of the line.
Pipe is laid out along the
right-of-way. Individual
joints of pipe are bent
to fit the terrain using
a hydraulic bending
machine, and the pipe
is prepared for welding.
compensation for
use of the land.
Crossing
Crews use special
techniques to install pipe
under road, railway and
water crossings.
Welding/Coating
Lowering in and tie-ins
Backfilling/Testing
Welders join the pipes
together using either
manual or automated
welding technologies.
Welds are inspected
and certified by X-ray or
ultrasonic methods (see
text for more information
on ultrasonic methods).
Pipeline joints are coated
and inspected.
Construction crews lower the welded pipe into the
ditch. Further safety testing will be conducted when
the line is complete. A separate crew completes
tie-ins, connecting continuous lengths of pipeline
that have been lowered into the ditch.
The ditch is backfilled,
topsoil is replaced in the
sequence in which it was
removed and the land is
re-contoured and re-seeded
for restoration. The pipeline
is tested before startup.
PIPELINE SAFETY
AND INTEGRITY
• Safety begins with design and
construction. Enbridge has decades
of experience in pipeline construction and
assuring integrity and safety inspections
before and after putting a pipeline into service.
• Enbridge uses leading-edge
pipeline safety and integrity management
practices. Enbridge is also a world leader
in electronic internal pipeline inspection.
• Safety is the first priority in every
aspect of our business and a core
part of our commitment to responsible
behaviour across every kilometre traversed
by our pipelines.
ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
Right-of-Way (ROW) profile: The permanent
ROW is a strip of land approximately
30 metres (100 feet) wide containing one
or more pipelines. Temporary construction
workspace requirements will vary along
the pipeline ROW.
• To help prevent damage to the pipeline
and to ensure your safety and safety of
the environment, pipeline regulators have
established a range of guidelines and rules.
• In return for compensation, landowners
along the right-of-way grant the pipeline
company an “easement” — the right to
use the land for constructing, operating
and maintaining its pipelines.
• The ROW allows workers access
for inspection, maintenance, testing
and emergencies.
ROUTE SELECTION
• Avoid or minimize environmentally
sensitive areas such as parks and
protected areas
• Minimize the number of river, stream,
highway, road, rail and utility crossings
• Parallel existing pipelines where possible
• Minimize impacts to fish and wildlife
habitat, First Nation and Métis interests,
historical resources
WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINES?
Petroleum Export Pipeline
• The product transported will be oil
produced in Western Canada
• This product will be transported by
pipeline to Kitimat, B.C. for further
transport by tanker to markets in Asia
Pacific or California
Condensate Import Pipeline
• Condensate is a liquid by-product of
natural gas production. Its primary use
in Western Canada is to dilute heavy oil
for easier transport by pipeline, and it is
also used as feedstock to oil refineries
• Condensate will be imported to Kitimat,
B.C. by tanker and travel east via
pipeline to Strathcona County, near
Bruderheim, Alberta
PUMPING STATIONS
Enbridge anticipates
construction of pumping
stations located at six
strategic points along
the ROW corridor.
• Pumping stations will be operated
remotely and most will be
electrically powered

Attendee Comments
Table D-3
Open House Survey Responses
Survey Comments
Interests / Concerns
Obtaining ROW through BC on reasonable terms
Maintaining consultation with affected communities, providing a transparent process
Environmental effects depending on mitigation / follow-up
The operation of the pipeline
Impact on North Saskatchewan River Valley and Slopes – minimize impacts
Degree to which new markets are opened
The deep water ports – Kitimat is best
Right of Way and clearing
Depreciating the value of our land
Landowner issues and compensation
Training of unskilled labour
The condensate import line undermines the best model of wealth generation for our provincial resources
Disruption of normal use of farm land. Control of land by the pipeline.
Safety
Location
Clean up on pipeline (farmers)
Environmental footprint
Economy
Reduction in non-renewable resource
Aboriginal relations
New markets for petroleum
Pipeline monitoring is an important issue to ensure the integrity of the line
Possible effect on wildlife habitat, water, fish
For people to learn about how the pipeline will provide fuel across our province
Openings up an area that is sensitive i.e., caribou; ATVs would have access
The water system into Kitimat; worried about natural disaster
Using local service/contractors whenever possible
Ongoing economic development opportunities is both a comment for 8 and 9; regulatory requirements re:
the environment
Impact on Forestry AAC, soil and creek disturbance

Table D-1
Open House Survey Responses (cont’d)
Survey Comments
Interests / Concerns (cont’d)
Time line / Start date
Getting approval through treaty lands
The “perception” of the oil and gas industry in the area as the “bad guy”
A peak of activity that leaves behind overbuilt services i.e., too many hotels, too many contractors
That the proposed project goes through, we have had lots of projects not finish
Potential for tanker accidents / spills in the Camano Sound or Douglas Channel
Copper River Watershed – PNG has had major slide problems in this area
Access along route (opening remote areas); monitoring and ability to respond; site-specific yet large scale
fragmentation; tanker traffic on ocean affecting marine life and ecotourism
High Norwegian standards
That the regulatory process is thorough
Tanker traffic must be double hull
Construction period creating inflated costs
Morice River fishery
That the route is not an eye sore
Public statement from federal and provincial governments saying who will be responsible for clean-up
A fair distribution of business and employment opportunities along the corridor
Access to trapline areas
Tanker routing
Shipping traffic in confined channels with inclement weather
Marine accident
Coordination of partnerships around human resource development and local employment
Pipeline right of way being a barrier to animal movement
From a transportation perspective impact on existing and future infrastructure
Access to previously undeveloped areas. My concern is that existing hunting/fishing regulations do not
change as a result of this project
Benefits / Opportunities
Economic – export plus ongoing employment during construction
Employment opportunities
Improved pipeline construction / operation methods. Improved stakeholder consultation
Progress in the transportation of crude and condensate
Diluent supply to oil sands
Future for our children; access to new markets

Open House Survey Responses (cont’d)
Survey Comments
Benefits / Opportunities (cont’d)
Will generate linear assessment for municipalities which translates into property taxes thereby enabling
municipalities to enhance their level of programs / services
The economic impacts to community – i.e., county – helps tax base, lowering residential tax rates
Great for Canada in general
Ongoing economic development opportunities for First Nations
Put the entire northern BC on the world map
Increased value for shareholders
I feel that there is going to be great things happening in Kitimat again, thanks to Enbridge
Hopefully other companies see the benefits of developing in our region and come also
Young people in the region would stay put more stability as a whole
Renewed hope
Discovery of important paleontological specimens (dinosaurs); enhancement of tourism
