EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Anchor Loop Pipeline Expansion Design Basis Memorandum (DBM) defines basic design
philosophies and concepts for the Anchor Loop Pipeline Expansion Project. The DBM is a living
document and will be updated as required to reflect the evolving requirements and new information as
the project progresses. A separate Project Execution Plan (PEP) will describe the execution of the
detailed design, procurement, construction, and commissioning elements of the project.
The Trans Mountain pipeline was originally designed to transport a medium crude oil (viscosity of
23 centistokes (cSt)). Subsequent modifications have enabled a variety of crude oils and refined
products to be transported in batches through the pipeline. Today, regular shipments of gasoline,
diesel fuel, iso-octane, light crude, synthetic crude, medium crude, and heavy crude are made.
The pipeline portions of the TMPL system was constructed between 1952 and 1954 includes a NPS 24
pipeline that runs from Edmonton, Alberta, to Burnaby, British Columbia and two (2) 85 km NPS 30
loops from Edson to Hinton in Alberta, and from Darfield to Kamloops in British Columbia. The facilities
on the TMPL system has been expanded and contracted a number of times over time; it currently has a
total of 11 pump stations, five (5) located in Alberta and six (6) located in British Columbia.
The initiating pump station and batch assembly tanks are located at Edmonton, Alberta. Intermediate
injection points and injection tanks are located in Edson, Alberta, and Kamloops, British Columbia.
Intermediate take-off points and take-off tanks are located in Kamloops and Sumas, British Columbia.
Tanks are also located at the end of the pipeline at the Burnaby terminal.
Kinder Morgan Canada Inc. (KMCI) has initiated a series of expansions for the Trans Mountain Pipeline
(TMPL) system. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMPSE) currently under construction will
install ten (10) new pump stations by first quarter 2007. An additional pump station at Blue River has
been added to the TMPSE project scope with an on-stream date of April 2008. The TMPSE project is
expected to increase the Operating Capacity from 225,000 bpd to close to 260,000 bpd of a batch train
that includes 20% heavy crude by volume.
The TMX – Anchor Loop Project includes the construction and installation of 7.7 km of NPS 30 and
151.9 km of NPS 36 pipeline loop. The parallel section of NPS 24 TMPL will be isolated and placed
into an idle state. The facilities portion of the project includes the construction and installation of one
(1) intermediate pump station in Alberta (Wolf) and one (1) other in British Columbia (Chappel). It also
provides for the installation of scraper trap components at the Hinton Pump Station and at the new
Hargreaves Scraper Trap site. The project also includes the installation of remotely actuated mainline
valve site facilities, deactivation of the Niton Pump Station; downgrade the existing Hinton Scraper Trap
facility to a valve site, and completing the connection of the new loop to the Jasper Pump Station.
The Project will increase the TMPL Operating Capacity from about 260,000 bpd to 300,000 bpd by
November 2008. These volumes include a 20% proportion of Heavy Crude. The Project is planning to
provide an interim capacity of about 287,000 bpd by April 2008 by connecting most of the Alberta
section of the Loop, about 96 km and commissioning the new Wolf and Chappel pump stations.
Key project success factors have been identified as Health and Safety, Environmental Protection,
Regulatory Compliance, Schedule, Project Integration, Capital Cost, and Operating Cost. Within the
context of these success factors, the pipelines will be designed “fit for purpose”.

Scraper trap drain lines will have the same heat tracing / insulation
requirement as the pump stations.
Hinton Pump Station Scraper Traps
A new, permanent trap facility will be constructed within the existing Hinton
Pump station land limits. The trap facility shall be sized to accommodate
planned expansion flow rates via the incoming NPS 30 line and outgoing
NPS 36 line.
The Hinton Scraper Trap shall be designed as a permanent facility to
integrate with existing infrastructure at Hinton Pump Station with control
instrumentation selected to avoid duplication of what is already operational at
Hinton Pump Station. Areas of integration shall include a Power, Service and
Controls, and SCADA communications.
Components installed at the Hinton Pump Station (KP 317.7) will enable
receipt of In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools and cleaning pigs from the upstream
segment of new NPS 30 pipeline loop and launching of ILI tools and cleaning
pigs into the downstream NPS 36 pipeline segment.
Hargreaves Scraper Trap Facility
A new, temporary trap facility will be constructed at Hargreaves, just
upstream of the Rearguard Pump Station. The Hargreaves site (KP 468.0) is
a green-field location 2 km outside and west of MRPP.
The facility will accommodate receipt of NPS 36 ILI tools and cleaning pigs
from the loop and the launching of NPS 24 tools downstream into the TMPL
pipeline. The Hargreaves trap facility shall be constructed for short-term use.
It will be sized to accommodate planned expansion flow rates via the
incoming NPS 36 and outgoing NPS 24 lines.
Distinct features of the Hargreaves Scraper Trap facility shall include:
• Reduced trap shelter height to minimize impact on the highway line of
sight;
• Power, Service and Controls (MCC), and SCADA communications
managed locally;
• The existing MCC building at the Hinton Scraper Trap Facility reused at
Hargreaves; and
• Hargreaves designed as a temporary facility with movable, reusable
components as much as practicable.
Existing Hinton Scraper Trap Facility
The existing Scraper Trap facility at Hinton (KP 310.0) is not required for
future operations, and the facility will be mostly removed and become a
MLBV site. The new NPS 30 loop will tie-into the existing NPS 30 loop at a
point within the yard directly downstream of the existing below grade NPS 30
valve. This NPS 30 valve will remain in place and serve as a MLBV.
Modifications will be made as required to enable the valve to be remotely
actuated.

The existing right-of-way shall provide primary access to each valve site to
the extent possible. Additional requirements for locations with MOV’s shall
include:
• Perimeter fencing with a lockable gate;
• Valve controls enclosure;
• Power receptacle (for connection to auxiliary power); and
• A Motorola Moscad communications system complete with tower or
standard pipe antennas (as required by site for the locations where direct
connection to Telecom service providers is not possible).
3.0 PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS
To ensure the overall success of the project, designs will address the following key success
factors over the life of the pipelines and facilities:
• Health and Safety
− The health and safety of construction, operations, maintenance personnel and the
public.
− Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate, Loss Time Injury Frequency Rate and Motor
Vehicle Accident rate.
• Environmental Protection
− The protection of water courses, groundwater, soil, the atmosphere, and animal and
plant life.
• Regulatory Compliance
− The compliance with directives of the regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the
Anchor Loop Pipeline System and the commitments made to those agencies.
• Schedule
− Meeting key milestones of the “Base” Schedule including partial in-service objective.
• Project Integration
− The seamless physical, start-up, and operating compatibility of the TMPL systems
• Capital Cost
− The lowest, “value improved”, capital cost, within the context of the other success
factors.
• Operations
− The provision of pipeline and facility components integrated with the existing system and
optimized and balanced in respect of operational requirements and life-cycle costs.
Project success will be measured using weighted criteria within each success factor and
“stretch” or “excellence” targets and ranges of acceptability for each criteria. Additional
information will be compiled within the Project Execution Plan.

4.1 Fitness-for-Purpose
The Anchor Loop pipelines and facilities shall be designed to be capable of transporting
the required volumes of products, allowing for planned maintenance and reasonable
unplanned outage.
Equipment will be selected based on a balance of life-cycle capital and operating costs.
It is preferable that the equipment chosen for the initial (2007) phase of the expansion
will be of standard sizes suitable for service through to and including the final phase
(hydraulic capacity) without replacement, and that minimal disruption to pumping is
required to upgrade for future phases.
The facilities will be easily operable and maintainable with reasonable maintenance
access. A balance will be met between automated and manual operation and between
ease of maintenance and cost of maintenance.
Facilities not required for the primary function of the pipeline system, or not contributing
significantly to its reliability, operability or maintainability would not be incorporated.
The project shall be designed to meet the operating capacity objective of 300,000 bpd,
allowing for planned maintenance and expected system reliability.
Design, procurement, and construction at Wolf and Chappel Pump Stations shall be
cognizant of their anticipated short operational life span (estimated three (3) years). The
salvage value of these stations shall be optimized.
Product Quality shall be considered in the design of facilities. “Dead-legs” in piping shall
be minimized, but not at the expense of good piping design.
4.2 Codes and Standards
Design of the pipeline loop and facilities will respect applicable federal, provincial,
municipal, and project codes, regulations, and standards as specified in Sections 5.1
and 5.2.
The design of pipelines and ancillary components, facilities, and access roadways shall
use existing internal standards and practices where possible. These will be updated as
required to reflect project specific conditions and actual local design requirements.
4.3 Cost Effective Design
A cost effective design approach will be used with the goal of minimizing life-cycle cost
while meeting the project requirements for safety, environmental protection, regulatory
compliance, and performance. Synergy with KMCI standards and practices will be
maintained, where positive life-cycle cost benefits can be demonstrated.
4.4 Life and Reliability
For detailed design purposes, a minimum design life of 100 years will be used in
predictive modeling of the pipeline loop. In certain situations where opportunities exist,
an even more prudent allowance towards a safer design will be applied. For instance,
river bed scour design will provide protection from flood events having a 200-year
recurrence interval.

The design of facilities will meet the requirements of OPR, relevant industry standards,
and internal specifications but will consider the anticipated short life cycle of Wolf,
Chappel, and Hargreaves facilities.
4.5 Future Expansion
Provision for easily expanded facilities to accommodate future flows up to the hydraulic
capacity of the line will be considered.
4.6 Special Design Considerations
Routing through JNP and MRPP requires special considerations for enhanced
environmental protection. These considerations will influence the separation of
pipelines; spacing of isolation valves; provisions for valve automation; pipe wall
thickness; and crossing designs for road, railway, and watercourses.
The presence of wetlands was considered in the routing. Where wetlands areas could
not be avoided, appropriate engineering procedures will be required for access roads,
station grading and building and equipment foundations. Cost studies will determine the
optimal construction methods.
The water table may be high at the pump station locations and due consideration will be
given to buoyancy. It may be necessary to provide hold down anchors for buried piping
and sump tanks.
In addition to hydraulic requirements, the pump station locations will consider foundation
soil conditions, proximity to access roads, and proximity to power supplies.
Layout and design of the two (2) pump stations will be modeled from the currently in-
progress Trans Mountain Pump Station Expansion Project (TMPSE).
Standard station designs shall be completed early in the detailed engineering phase with
the identification of specific variations where required. Construction drawing sets for the
individual stations shall be based on the standard station design with a specific
dedicated set of drawings for each station
Efforts shall be made to maximize the amount of shop work and to minimize the amount
of field work required. All piping will be shop fabricated and tested to the furthest extent
practical. All piping and equipment will be shop coated.
4.7 Power
Facilities power requirements shall be met by a combination strategy of existing power
supply, new distribution lines, and new transmission lines. Supply of the power
infrastructure will be provided through a combination of agreements in Alberta and
British Columbia and is subject to several regulatory approval processes.
There are no planned upgrades to the power supply at the Hinton Pump Station to
accommodate the scraper trap facility.
An existing 14KV single-phase power supply will service the planned Hargreaves (British
Columbia) scraper trap. The service will be provided by BC Hydro.
UPS power at each pump station will be provided and sized for instrumentation, control,
and monitoring systems, as well as provide ESO capability for station isolation valves.

inspection, and the installation of protective devices on piping, storage tanks, sump
tanks, etc. In addition, in order to minimize the severity of any accidental releases,
isolation, containment, leak detection, and response systems will be included in the
Anchor Loop system designs.
Protective devices will include high-pressure sensors and relief systems on piping and
level sensors on tanks.
MLBVs will be placed, on either side of major river crossings and at other appropriate
intervals to reduce the volumes that could be released due to line leaks. Their location
is selected, in part, on an analysis of potential draindown volumes. All motor operated
gate valves will be remotely operable.
Future government environmental policies will be anticipated and considered during
technology selection particularly with respect to energy conservation.
Prevention of oil spills reaching the local environment shall be considered in the design
of facilities. Pump station and scraper trap facilities shall be designed to drain
groundwater from areas of potential hydrocarbon releases through a controlled route
with the capability of impounding liquids. Groundwater outlet piping from containment
catchments shall be controlled by normally closed manual valves. Hydrocarbon
detectors shall be provided in the catchments at remote stations to provide an alarm to
the Control Center Operator in the event of an oil release.
Detailed environmental assessments were prepared during the early planning phases of
the project, and submitted with the regulatory applications. Specifications for the
construction of facilities shall incorporate environmental mitigation measures consistent
with commitments made to the regulatory authorities as outlined in the Environmental
Protection Plan (EPP). In the event that additional environmental conditions are
received with the approvals for the work, the additional conditions will be incorporated
into the designs and specifications at that time.
4.13 Commitments
Commitments made to the Regulatory Agencies, such as those identified in the EPP, as
well as those contained in responses to Information Requests, will be honoured.
Other commitments that may develop during the course of the project, such as those
negotiated with stakeholders, will also be honoured.
4.14 Leak Detection and Response
Components of the project will be integrated through SCADA into the existing leak
detection system. TMPL’s existing pipeline leak detection system, the Computational
Pipeline Modeling (CPM) program, will be used.
Metering will be installed where required at the pump stations in order to maintain the
current level of leak detection sensitivity of approximately 100m3/hr.
The individual facility containment systems will be provided with leak detection alarms.
These will consist of single or multiple level alarms, hydrocarbon detection sensors, or
combination of both. Flow based leak detection will be provided for mainline pump
mechanical seals.
In cases where a pipeline leak is detected, the Edmonton Control Center Operator
(CCO) can activate an emergency shutdown of the various pumping stations along the

pipeline. As required, the CCO may activate the closure of MLBVs. Once activated, the
location of the leak will be found and the cause of the leak rectified. After the leak is
repaired, a manual reset at each station will be required.

The TMPL system is licensed for a maximum operating pressure that varies
along the pipeline. Minimum suction pressure of the pump stations is set at
350 kPa. The new pump stations will be designed to ANSI 600 (PN100),
which will have the capability of discharging at 9,930 kPa. The Anchor Loop
will, as a minimum, have a design pressure of 9,930 kPa to match with a high
pressure section downstream of the Hinton pump station, which will have an
MOP of 10,875 kPa.
5.5.3 Hydraulic Modeling
The hydraulic behaviour of multi-product pipelines such as TMPL is more
complex than single-product lines because the throughput varies with time as
the different batches move through the system. Designing a multi-product
pipeline involves hydraulic simulation to ensure that the system can meet a
specified time-average throughput for the design batch line-up.
To calculate the time-averaged throughput, hydraulic simulation determines
the total time it takes to ship the complete design batch cycle and the
methodology must account for the time-varying throughput of the pipeline.
Two (2) basic methods available to accomplish this are the fully-transient
method and the simpler successive steady-state method.
Two types of analysis have been performed:
• Successive steady-state, and
• Transient
The successive steady-state analysis was used to determine the hydraulic
capacity of the pipeline, while the transient analysis was used to consider the
effects of upset conditions on the pipeline.
Steady State Analysis
A steady-state analysis was performed on the Anchor Loop pipeline. The
goal of this analysis was to determine the lowest cost combination of pipeline

site shall contain all components required to fully commission, operate the
upstream sections of pipeline loop, and transfer product into TMPL until such
time that the downstream section of loop is built and readied for service. The
precise location for the crossover is to be determined. The design shall
consider the future need to provide an in-line connection between upstream
and downstream sections of pipeline loop.
5.6 Control, SCADA, and Communications
5.6.1 Station Control
Pump station control systems will be based on programmable logic controller
(PLC) hardware. PLC systems will consist of a Data Concentrator PLC, a
Station PLC and a Flow Computer PLC, where applicable. Each pump unit
will be controlled through a dedicated I/O rack communicating on a Control
Net with Station PLC. Flow computers will be used to provide custody
transfer measurement and meter proving control. Level of integration and
redundancy with existing PLC system will be considered during detailed
design.
Station control shall be a low select Proportional and Integral (PI) system
controlling station suction pressure, station discharge pressure, or station
kilowatts simultaneously, automatically selecting the control variable. PI
control functions will be done by the station PLC in the same manner as
existing TMPL facilities. Start-and-Stop commands and setpoints for the PI
system will originate either from the SCADA system or from the local HMI.
Station local control systems will consist of:
• Fire and gas detection
• Process alarming and ESD of each pump unit
• Pump control
Pump Station Control
• Station suction pressure (pump cavitation protection) will be provided as a
control variable under program control in the PLC. The PLC program will
ensure suction pressure is maintained within preset limits to ensure safe
operation of the pump.
• Station discharge pressure control will be provided by redundant station
discharge pressure transmitters, located downstream of the station
discharge block valve. The pressure transmitters will ensure the
maximum discharge pressure is in accordance with the licensed MOP.
The recommended maximum discharge pressure controller set point will
be based on licensed MOP for each site. If pressure control through the
operation of the VFD is unable to prevent the discharge pressure from
exceeding the station discharge pressure set point, the station PLC will
initiate a unit quick stop (no shutdown sequence).
• If Station Kilowatts (kW consumption) increase over the kW setpoint, the
controller will limit power consumption at the pump station by reducing
pump speed.

• Station and unit protection shall be based on the attached shutdown key.
An Operating Limits and Protective Device Document, which will be
incorporated into the TMPL Operating Limits and Protective Device
Document and approved by the Manager, Technical Services, shall be
developed to detail both the protection and the operating limits of the
equipment and pipeline at the new sites.
Hinton Scraper Trap Facility Control
The Hinton Scraper Trap facility control requirements shall be integrated with
the Hinton Pump Station operations and defined during detailed design.
Hargreaves Scraper Trap Facility Control
Local controls for the Hargreaves Scraper Trap facility shall be located in its
service / control building (to be relocated from the existing trap facility near
Hinton). Control requirements shall be defined during detailed design.
Automated Mainline Block Valve Sites Control
Remote valve site control requirements shall be integrated with central
control center operations and defined during detailed design.
5.6.2 SCADA
All facilities shall be monitored from either the Primary Control Centre (PCC)
located in Sherwood Park, Alberta, or the Secondary Control Center (SCC) in
south Edmonton using a SCADA system; the precise monitoring location for
each facility shall be determined during detailed design HAZOPS.
Database points and new graphic display screens will also be added to
support the new sites. The leak detection system and the operator simulator
/ trainer will also be modified.
The SCADA system and supporting communications system infrastructure
will build upon the existing system and will be expanded to accommodate the
new instrumentation and control signals for the new MLBVs. SCADA system
modifications and communications will be arranged by KMCI. SCADA
equipment shall be suitably enclosed.
Database points and new graphic display screens will also be added to
support the new sites. The leak detection system and the operator simulator
/ trainer will also be modified.
The SCADA system will interface with the station Data Concentrator PLC.
Local monitoring and control of the facility will consist of a PLC control system
and dedicated LOI. Capacity of the existing Telvent (formerly Metso,
previously Valmet) SCADA system will be evaluated during detailed
engineering phase. New SCADA I/O points and screens will be programmed
into existing system to accommodate control of new devices.
The final SCADA system will provide the Control Room Operators with ability
to:
• Acquire data and remotely monitor pipeline facilities and MLBVs
• Remotely open and close pump station valves and MLBVs

Other components such as valves and fabricated assemblies that are shop
fabricated will be sandblasted and coated as per KMCI specifications.
FBE coating that is exposed to the sun will deteriorate with time. Storage
conditions will be appraised and coated pipe that is at risk of UV damage will
be white-washed or an alternative protection will be put in place.
5.7.2 Cathodic Protection (CP)
External coating combined with CP will provide corrosion control. CP will
meet standard practices and consist of impressed current and sacrificial
anodes. CP will be installed and activated as soon as possible after pipe
installation to provide maximum corrosion protection. All new installations will
be integrated into the existing TMPL system.
CP designs will consider the following:
• Length of the system and segments
• Coating specifications
• Locations of stations and MLBVs
• Soil analysis
• Water table
• Proximity to other utilities
• Insulation from reinforced concrete
• Locations and performance of existing TMPL anodes and rectifiers
• Availability of AC power
Some of the issues that the design will also address are:
• paralleling existing pipelines with CP systems operated by others,
• paralleling AC power lines, and
• special situations where additional CP technologies such as zinc ribbons
would be required and appropriate.
Test lead locations will generally match existing locations and will be placed
on all pipeline crossings where approved by the pipeline owners. Test leads
will also be placed on both sides of primary highway crossings for safety
reasons so that KMCI operations personnel by allowing CP readings to be
taken without the need to cross the travel lanes
5.8 Maintenance
Facilities will be designed to allow for efficient in-situ equipment maintenance.
In general, the types of equipment that will require mechanical lifts will be motors, pump
casings and internals, valves, valve operators and internals, meters and internals, and
cleaning and inspection tools The cost of installed lifting equipment and truck loading
areas will be weighed against the cost for mobilizing other internal or external equipment
over the life of the facilities.

The line pipe material and associated fittings will be selected in accordance
with a maximum design stress level of 80% of Specified Minimum Yield
Strength (SMYS). This maximum design stress level will be reduced as
required by regulations at specific locations, such as uncased railway
crossings and underneath roads based on fatigue analysis.
Following negotiations with representatives of JNP, the NPS 36 pipe installed
through the park shall be subject to additional testing of pipe body and seam
weld to demonstrate notch toughness properties consistent with that required
for Category II pipe.
The additional testing includes:
• On one (1) pipe from each heat of steel produced and applied to the
order, the following will be performed:
− One (1) set of Charpy V-notch test specimens, prepared from the
parent material of the pipe as outlined for body tests in CSA
Z 245.1-02, will be subjected to testing at a temperature of -5°C,
results to be reported for information only.
− One (1) set of Drop Weight Tear Test specimens, prepared from the
parent material as outlined in Clauses 7.7.1 and 7.7.2 of CSA Z
245.1-02, will be subjected to testing at a temperature of -5°C, results
to be reported for information only
• On every tenth pipe referenced above (i.e. from every tenth heat), and as
agreed to in earlier correspondence, the following will also be performed:
− One (1) set of Charpy V-notch test specimens, prepared from the
deposited weld metal of the longitudinal seam as outlined in Clause
8.5.1 of CSA Z 245.1-02, will be subjected to testing at a temperature
of -5°C, results to be reported for information only.
− One (1) set of Charpy V-notch test specimens, prepared from the
heat-affected zone of the longitudinal seam, will be subjected to
testing at a temperature of -5°C, results to be reported for information
only.
6.4.5 Wall Thickness
The formula in Clause 4.3.3.1.1 of CSA Z662 will be used to determine the
minimum wall thickness of the line pipe used for the pipeline loop. Stresses
will be calculated to determine any restrictions on installation temperatures.
Additionally, the pipeline loop will contain short lengths of heavy-wall pipe as
required for crossings of roads, railways and major streams. The exact
allocation of heavy-wall will be determined during the detailed design phase.
The following table details what the wall thickness to be used in various
applications within the project is.

Buried Facilities
Typically, foreign crossings will be crossed under.
Power lines
The owners of power lines will be consulted to determine voltages, potential
hazards, and if temporary raising of the line is required. Written crossing
agreements will be acquired.
Cased Crossings
It is intended not to use cased crossings. However, for highway crossings
that cannot be conventionally bored, extra large diameter hammered casing
may be used with the pipeline well separated from the casing pipe and no
end seal installed.
Cased crossings would be sealed and completely filled with a material such
as gel or wax. All cased crossing designs will be reviewed by Cathodic
Protection designers.
6.4.18 Parallel Power Line Relocations
Four (4) sections of power lines require relocation to eliminate the
construction hazard and to provide additional workspace for construction.
Power line relocations have been requested of the utility service providers at:
• Sleepy Hollow Road at Intersection of Hwy 93 (KL 379)
• Wynd Road (KL 379-KL 382.5)
• Sucker Creek (KL 372-KL 373), and
• KL 461-KL 466.
Power lines will be moved by utility owner.
6.4.19 Parallel Fibre Optic Cable Relocation
Arrangements will be made to remove the Telus Fibre Optic Cable from
KL 403 to KL 405 to facilitate construction. During construction, signals will
be temporarily rerouted through a nearby 360 Networks cable. A
replacement fibre optics line is to be laid into the pipeline ditch through the
interval between appropriate cable splice points. Due to potential damages
from pipeline construction, the section of fibre optics cable between about
KL 396 and KL 405 shall be subsequently tested for continuity and suitably
repaired as may be required.
6.4.20 Rock
Rock Coatings
Coatings, such as Rock Jacket (flexible concrete coating), wood lagging, and
dual powder abrasion coatings, will be selected to provide protection in rocky
areas.
Rock Shield
Rock shield will be applied in the field where backfill materials contain sharp
rock, which may damage the pipe coating.

#R-37 Rearguard
The CP system will be common to both the existing pipeline and the pipeline
loop as it is the most economic approach and avoid potential interference
effects that could result if cathodic protection was applied separately to TMPL
and the loop.
The pipeline loop will be connected to the existing CP system by:
• the installation of bond cables between existing and new pipelines at
each end of the pipeline loop and at other discrete points as required;
• the attachment, if possible, of rectifier negative cables to the pipeline loop
at all grounded locations;
• changes and additions will be made to some of the existing groundbeds
due to;
• the increased current demands of the pipeline loop;
• the need to provide sufficient separation between anodes and pipelines;
and
• the life expectancy of existing anodes.
Test stations will be attached to the pipeline loop at locations approximating
those on the existing TMPL, as well as other locations as needed. Test
stations will have a maximum spacing of 5 km.
6.4.22 Buoyancy Control
The Anchor Loop traverses sections of wet, and / or muskeg-type terrain
requiring some form of buoyancy control. Screw anchors shall be considered
if there are favourable anchoring conditions and sufficiently long intervals to
be economically viable. Care will be taken to ensure they will have sufficient
hold down capacity for voided pipe.
Where the muskeg is shallower than the depth of the ditch, set-on or saddle
weights may be used when the weight rests on competent mineral soil.

For water crossings and ditches full of water, buoyancy control shall be by
bolt-on concrete weights, continuous-concrete coating, or strap-on
saddlebags.
The pipeline will be weighted to produce negative buoyancy for empty pipe of
at least 5 %. Care will be taken in design to avoid overweighting the pipe in
soft bottom sites to prevent excessive sinking of the pipeline.
6.4.23 Geotechnical Design
Design for potentially unstable slopes will be given special consideration.
Side hill springs have been identified at KP439.4 through KP440.4. Sidehill
cuts will be limited to eliminate precipitating instability. Geotechnical
assessments will be made of sidehills to identify areas of potential instability.
As required, specific designs will be developed.
6.4.24 Hydrostatic Testing
Hydrostatic testing will be conducted in accordance with KMCI Specification
TMX1-MP4121, Mainline Hydrostatic Test Procedure, or subsequent revision.

The lands for removal or “Robson Lands” have been precisely defined
through the preparation of legal drawings. All subsequent design and
construction plans must be developed such that all disturbances and
construction activities remain within the “Robson Lands”.
Alberta (Outside Jasper National Park)
The proposed right-of-way lies entirely on Crown Land within Alberta.
The proposed Cougar Ridge Resort lies along the right-of-way near the
Hinton Airport Road, KL312.3.
The TMPL right-of-way is 18.28 m (60 ft) wide. The loop right-of-way is to be
18.28 m to 20 m wide.
Portions of the loop construction footprint will overlap ATCO’s abutting right-
of-way. Approval from ATCO will be required for use of these lands.
British Columbia (Outside Mount Robson Provincial Park)
The proposed right-of-way lies mostly on Crown Land within British Columbia
and is to be generally 18.28 m wide.
The TMPL right-of-way is 18.28 m (60 ft) wide. The loop is typically aligned
23 m to 28 m from TMPL in this section.
Extra Work Space (EWS)
Various lengths of temporary workspace, from 5 to 30 m in width, have been
identified for:
• spoil piles, storage, and general workspace; and
• truck turnarounds, etc.
At other locations, extra workspace will be required to minimize adverse
impacts on streams, water bodies, historical resources, and individual
landowners.
6.4.30 Construction Sites
Construction sites have been identified for:
• Stockpile sites for pipe,
• Borrow Pits for sand and padding,
• Work Camps,
• RV Trailer Parks,
• Contractor Yards, and
• Vehicle Parking.
Parks Canada will not permit operation of borrow pits in JNP. Material
requirements will be addressed through a specifically developed soil
management plan or imported from approved pits outside of the park.

Aerial markers will not be placed in sections where the pipeline directly abuts
a highway.
Operational Access
Unless otherwise directed by regulators and the EPP, it is preferred that
access routes be left along the right-of-way for operators and maintenance
personnel to the extent that this is physically practical and with due
consideration of regulatory requirements and environmental requirements
identified in the EPP.
Permanent access will be in accordance with Emergency Response Plans
(ERP) and requirements for control points, MLBVs, etc. Control points will be
suitable for deployment of oil spill containment and recovery equipment.
Access to the right-of-ways will use existing roads, trails, and segments of the
new right-or-way, as required. Access to the right-of-way will be gated or
otherwise blocked to avoid creating new public access.
Land Owners
Existing land owners, such as Municipality of Jasper, Pocahontas Lodge,
Robson Ranch, and identified developments, such as Cougar Ridge Resort,
will be taken into consideration in the restoration of the construction footprint,
construction sites, and access.
6.4.33 Facility Tie-Ins
All tie-ins will facilitate internal pigging.
Hinton Scraper Trap Tie In
The upstream tie-in point is at KP 310.0 , which is immediately downstream
of the NPS 30 Block Valve 30 N (valve label),
The existing Hinton Trap facility at KP 310.0 will be decommissioned with the
equipment being removed to the extent of minimizing maintenance and
maximizing reuse at the new scraper traps.
Hinton Pump Station Tie In
The NPS 30 loop will terminate at the Hinton Pump Station, at a receiver trap.
The NPS 36 loop will originate at the Hinton Pump Station, at a launcher.
Jasper Pump Station Tie In
The loop will pass through the Jasper Pump Station yard and shall be tied
into the facility as required.
Hargreaves Pig Trap Tie In
A NPS 36 pig launcher will be installed at the end of the loop at KP 468.0, on
the south side of the right-of-way. Design and construction of the loop will
end at the upstream end of the NPS 36 receiver assembly.
Tie-In Pipe
100 m of heavy wall pipe has been allocated to each tie-in location;
specifically, Hinton Scraper Trap Site (NPS 30), Hinton Pump Station (each

NPS 30 and NPS 36), Jasper Pump Station (NPS 36), and Hargreaves Trap
Site (NPS 36).
6.5 Valve Sites
11 gate valves and seven (7) check valves (including one (1) at Jasper Pump Station)
will be installed along the loop. Additional valves will be required at the Hinton Pump
Station and the Hargreaves Scraper Trap Site. Automation of an existing NPS 30 MLBV
is also required at KP.310.0
Power, civil, and mechanical ancillary facilities required at the valve sites will also be
installed. Gate and check valves have been selected as sectionalizing valves. Pipeline
design will consider requirements of MLBV sites, in terms of space and locations, and
their impact on side bend locations and design, cover requirements, etc.
6.5.1 Gate Valve Sites
Gate valves will have valve actuators serviced by utility-supplied power where
available, or by an alternative, reliable, low maintenance DC/AC power
source where utility-supplied power is impractical.
Gate valves will be full-flow through conduit slab in accordance with CSA
Z245.15. All design specifications will be established during the detailed
design phase.
Automated Gate Valve Assembly
Each gate valve assembly will have pipe risers (NPS 4 or sized as required
for flooding and subsequent operations) on either side complete with isolation
valves and by-pass piping. Bypass valves will normally be closed. The valve
assemblies will be prefabricated from “rail wall” (20.8mm WT) pipe. Two (2)
joints of heavy wall pipe will be installed at each valve location. Valves will be
installed after the pipeline has been hydrostatically tested.
Valves shall be fitted with electric motor operators as per KMCI
specifications.
Power
Block valve sites will be serviced by 240 VAC single-phase utility-supplied
power. Actual power supply will depend on availability.
Where grid access power supply is impractical, reliable, low-maintenance
DC/AC power source will be integrated into the design. The system will
consist of battery, solar, and gen-set arrangements sized to provide all
necessary power for all lighting, actuator, and heating requirements.
Additional components will include:
• Transformer (as required by site)
• Power receptacle (for connection to auxiliary power)
Communications
The TMPL system is monitored and controlled by the Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and the PCC in Edmonton, Alberta.

Bradley Controlnet.
Data Communications hardware shall be of sufficient bandwidth to support
integration with Citrix systems.
Pump Station Communications
Both Wolf and Chappel pump stations will have four (4) telephone lines
connected to the public service telephone network (PSTN). One (1) line will
be dedicated to standard voice communications. The second line, connected
to a modem, will be used for SCADA backup communications. The third line,
connected to an Ethernet network modem, will be used for remote access to
PLC and HMI information.
The fourth line shall be dedicated to network computing.
Hinton Scraper Trap Facility Communications
Hinton Scraper Trap facility communication requirements shall be integrated
with existing communication hardware at the Hinton Pump Station.
Hargreaves Scraper Trap Facility Communications

will be used for remote access to PLC and HMI information.
Mainline MOV Block Valve Sites Communications
Each of the block valves will communicate via radio, with an MCP-M (Master)
located at the nearest pump station. This Master communicates with the Data
concentrator PLC, then Frame relay circuits and onto CCO. The Moscad
master communicates via VHF licensed frequencies to a strategically placed
“repeater or relay” station on a mountain or large hill. This repeater station
location usually has “line-of-sight” paths to its intended block valves to ensure
reliable communications. This repeater relays the signal to the intended block
valves.

POCAHONTAS PONDS
The wetlands of the Athabasca floodplain near Pocahontas are known locally as the
Pocahontas Ponds. This area of small ponds and active and dead stream channels is very
important to wildlife. The area provides critical winter range for elk and moose and is also
important to small mammals. Carnivores are attracted by these prey species. Numerous bird
species occur in high densities, many of which are not found elsewhere in the parks. Raptors
such as osprey and bald eagle nest here. The area also provides habitat for the river otter, a
species which is rare in the park.
Any major construction in the area (e.g., roads) will change sedimentation and erosion
patterns. Care must be taken that any development and use do not have a negative impact on
the area’s special resources.
