1 Enbridge Activity Update Peace River Regional District Jay Morrison Community and Indigenous Engagement Enbridge & Spectra Energy Merger On Monday, February 27, 2017, Spectra Energy completed its merger with Enbridge to become the largest North American energy infrastructure company. Spectra Energy will now be carrying on business in British Columbia as Enbridge Inc. We remain committed to timely, proactive and meaningful engagement with all stakeholders including municipalities, landowners and Aboriginal communities in an open and honest manner. We help to fuel people s quality of life by connecting them with the energy they need to live their lives. 1

2 Monitoring and Maintaining our System We focus on Meeting or exceeding all regulatory and industry safety standards during construction, operation and maintenance Responding 24/7 to any incident Monitoring our system Two 24/7 gas control centres where operators monitor and control gas flows using a sophisticated computer system Equipped with automated leak detection alarms and shut down systems Routine aerial patrols to check for third-party activity or abnormal system conditions Regularly scheduled leak surveys in which a system operator walks the right-ofway with gas detection instrument Excavations of the pipelines to inspect, repair and re-coat pipe sections, as required Inline inspections to look for anomalies such as corrosion or mechanical damage Valve servicing and maintenance to isolate pipeline sections in case of emergency Area Projects and Maintenance Work 2

3 Compressor Station 1 Modernization at McMahon Gas Plant The Project scope includes the installation of two new Solar Turbine and compressor sets and all turbo machinery ancillary equipment which will be packaged into one compressor building at the existing Compressor Station (CS) 1 site. The Project will also involve CS1 modifications, including the installation of an aerial cooler for discharge gas cooling. The Project is located within the secure, fenced area of Enbridge s existing Compressor Station 1; immediately adjacent to Enbridge s McMahon Plant and within the District of Taylor. The National Energy Board (NEB) approved the Project April 2018; Construction work to begin August, In service target Q3, Tank Replacement Projects at McMahon Gas Plant Tank 5501 Replacement Project Enbridge is replacing an existing 55,900 barrel tank with two new small capacity barrel tanks at the McMahon Gas Plant in the District of Taylor, BC. Location Map of Tank 5501 Replacement Project The existing tank is at the end of its service life and will be removed once the two new tanks have been tested and are ready for service. Pending NEB approval, construction is set to begin in the summer/fall of 2018 with an expected in-service date in 2019 Lean Oil Storage Tank Replacement Enbridge is replacing two lean oil storage tanks (500BBl each) with one new 750 BBL capacity tank at the McMahon Gas Plant in the District of Taylor, BC. The existing tank is at the end of its service life and will be cleaned and abandoned in place. Pending NEB approval, construction is set to begin in the fall of 2018 with an expected in-service date in the fall of

4 Spruce Ridge Program Enbridge is proposing to add two new sections of pipeline and additional compression on the northern portion of our natural gas transmission in British Columbia (B.C.). The northern portion of Enbridge's natural gas transmission system begins near Chetwynd, B.C. and stretches north to Fort Nelson, B.C., and east to Gordondale near the BC- Alberta border. The new sections of pipe, known as loops, would be constructed as separate segments that largely parallel the existing pipeline. The two new pipeline loops, Aitken Creek and Chetwynd, and accompanying compression upgrades at Compressor Station N5 and 2 will increase the transportation capacity of the system to accommodate customer demand in a safe and reliable way. Spruce Ridge Program Compressor Station N 5 & 2 To accommodate the increased volume of natural gas, a new compressor unit would be added to both Compressor Station N5 and Compressor Station 2. The Compressor Station N5 is located approximately 24 km northwest of Hudson s Hope. Compressor Station 2 is located approximately 36 km west of Chetwynd. The installation of the new compressor units will require some modifications to existing compressor stations to accommodate the new equipment. The new compressor units will: Be modern, state-of-the-art units. Increase reliability and efficiency at compressor stations. Adhere to all BC Oil and Gas Commission noise guidelines and make use of several noise reduction features. Will utilize low emission technology that meets all environmental and regulatory requirements. 4

5 T-South Reliability and Expansion Program New compressor units and associated equipment to support their operation will be installed at five existing compressor stations, and modifications made to existing compressors at two other stations and a meter station. The new compressor units being installed include the addition of a new gas cooler to accompany the compressor unit. In addition, potential preventative pipeline integrity inspections may be required in the area this year to physically examine the integrity of the pipe segment to determine if a repair or other action is needed. Four regulatory applications will be filed for this work with the NEB in Summer Tupper West Expansion Enbridge acquired two gas plants and associated sales pipelines, near Dawson Creek, B.C. in early The plants, Tupper Main and Tupper West were built in 2008 and 2011, respectively, with 110 and 210 MMscfd licensed gas processing between the two facilities. To meet increased demand, Enbridge is proposing to expand the Tupper West Plant, known as TPW1. The Tupper West Expansion, known as TPW2, is a 198 MMscfd expansion immediately to the south of the existing plant. The Project will include the addition of a booster compressor station and a transmission feed and a substation provided by a third party. The Project will service new gas supply from producers and will be shipped through pipelines to market. Internal approval of Project in June Ongoing stakeholder and Indigenous engagement, including open house in August / September 2018 in Feller s Heights. 5
