TC Terminals Project

TC Terminals GP Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Limited, is planning to build, own and operate a tank storage facility in central Alberta called TC Terminals.

TC Terminals will assist in the movement and storage of crude oil from Alberta’s Industrial Heartland area to the Hardisty, Alberta hub.

As Alberta crude oil production continues to grow, it will be important to have the necessary infrastructure in place to safely and reliably store and ship oil resources to meet growing demands.

The facility will occupy a portion of approximately 320 acres of TransCanada owned lands northeast of Edmonton and will help link Canadian crude oil resources in northern Alberta to markets in Alberta, Eastern Canada and the United States to meet the needs of continued growth in Alberta’s oil industry. Further details on the scope of the project can be found throughout this brochure.

Building and maintaining relationships is an integral part of TransCanada’s business. Through proactive communications and engagement, we will work to achieve long-term relationships, based on mutual trust and respect, with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities along the project corridor as the project progresses.

Project Timeline

Fall 2012 Began initial engagement with stakeholders and

Aboriginal communities.

Spring 2013 Environmental field studying began.

May 30, 2013 TC Terminals GP Ltd. filed an application with the

provincial regulator to construct and won the TC

Terminals project.

February 13, 2014 TC Terminals project approved by the AER.

Summer 2014 Start of Construction

Winter 2016 Anticipated in-service date.

*TC Terminals GP Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada PipeLines Limited (TransCanada).

The TC Terminals Project will be a key development to connect important Canadian crude oil resources in northern Alberta to markets in Alberta, Eastern Canada and the United States.

Environmental and Socio-Economic Considerations

Our intent is to avoid or minimize potential effects on the land and the environment. We have and analyzed site-specific environmental and cultural information to understand the potential environmental effects of this project. This assessment considered potential effects on archaeology/paleontology, heritage and traditional land resources, noise, soils, wildlife, watercourses, vegetation, protected areas, resource uses, infrastructure and services, and other socio-economic impacts and considerations.

An Environmental Protection Plan has been developed to identify specific measures to prevent or mitigate any effects of the proposed project during construction and operation activities.

Project Details

The TC Terminals Project will consist of a tank storage facility located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland area and will be constructed to provide crude oil batch accumulation and terminal services. The tank storage facility will include:

• Construction of six above ground storage tanks. Four tanks with a maximum operating capacity of 350,000 barrels and two tanks with a maximum operating capacity of 250,000 barrels, a total storage capacity of up to 1.9 million barrels;

• Required electrical infrastructure, instrumentation controls, communication and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system equipment;

• A central manifold to accommodate incoming and outgoing pipelines (a manifold is a device that diverts crude oil into various lines or into a storage tank without interrupting the flow);

• Associated facilities, including booster pumps and interconnecting piping as well as electric transformers, and associated buildings required for a tank storage facility;

• Crude oil receipt connections; and

• Custody transfer metering.

The tank storage facility is classified as Category B, Type 130 “Pipeline Tank Farm” by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER).

Stakeholder and Aboriginal Engagement

TransCanada is proud of the relationships we have built with our neighbours over the past 60 years. Building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities near our projects is an integral part of the way TransCanada conducts business. We are committed to continuing to communicate with stakeholders and Aboriginal communities as we move forward. We encourage interested parties to stay informed about the project by visiting our website at www.TCTerminals.com. If you would like a copy of project information materials or further information regarding the project, please call our toll-free line at 1.855.920.1913 or send us an email at TCTerminals@TransCanada.com.

What to Expect During Construction and Beyond

Equipment On Site

During construction, there will be heavy equipment on site for use in earth moving, excavation material handling/hauling, welding and testing. Temporary equipment on site may include graders, bulldozers, backhoes, welding equipment, and portable cranes. Permanent on-site equipment may include a field services building, booster pumps, crude oil tanks, valves, meters and related piping, transformers and associated shelters.

This project does not involve oil or gas exploration and/or production, therefore, a derrick will not be required to be on site.

Traffic

The majority of the construction activities will be completed during daylight hours. During construction activities, there will be an increase in traffic flow in and around the area involving movement of equipment, materials, and manpower. Once construction is completed, there will be nominal increased traffic for ongoing operations and maintenance.

Dust control measures, such as wetting of the construction area will also be undertaken to minimize dust from construction activities.

Noise

Throughout project construction and operations, we will meet all applicable noise limits, including those outlined in AER Directive 38: Noise Control and minimize construction noise where possible.

Initially, construction equipment will temporarily contribute to the baseline sound levels in the area, while during the operation phase, pumps and other associated equipment will be the contributors to the baseline sound levels.

Emissions and Odours

All tanks will be equipped with external roof rim seals to minimize emissions. Regular visual inspection of the floating roofs and associated rim seals will be performed to check mechanical integrity of the systems.

TC Terminals has conducted an air quality assessment to ensure compliance with the Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD) Air Quality Model Guideline (AQMG). Project emissions will meet the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives (AAAQO).

Setbacks and Land-Use Restrictions

The tank storage facility and associated tank storage

installations will have a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) content of less

than 0.1 mol/kmol and does not require additional setbacks

under AER legislation.

A risk assessment will be undertaken in accordance with

Strathcona County Land Use By-Law 8-2001 Section 15.3

Heavy Industrial to determine the potential effects of the

proposed development to surrounding facilities and properties.

Your Safety, Our Integrity

We are committed to designing, constructing and operating our

facilities to ensure the safety of our employees and the public,

and to minimize impacts to residents and the environment.

Construction and operations will comply with all AER and ESRD

safety and environmental guidelines and regulations.

We will develop an Emergency Response Plan as outlined in

AER Directive 71: Emergency Preparedness and Response Requirements for the Petroleum Industry. The Plan will be

activated in the unlikely event of an emergency. Our staff are

trained to know what to do in the event of an emergency, both

during construction and operations. We will collaborate with

local authorities and emergency responders (fire, police, etc.) to

ensure a coordinated response in the event of an incident.

In case of emergency, please call TransCanada’s 24 hour toll free emergency line at 1.888.982.7222.
