Project Background

The Base Line Terminal Project is a joint venture between Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals and Keyera Corporation.

Located at Keyera’s Alberta Enviro Fuels facility in Sherwood Park, Alberta, the Base Line Terminal Project is an

approximately $741 million project that includes:

The construction of 12 tanks with a total capacity of 763,000 m³ (4.8 million barrels)

A pipeline bridge that crosses Baseline Road (Baseline Bridge Crossing Project)

An overhead pipe rack

The Base Line Terminal Project is located on 80 acres of land located within SW-32-052-23 W4M, in Strathcona County.

This area is zoned for heavy industrial use, as per Strathcona County’s Municipal Development Plan, and is surrounded by

other industrial facilities including those owned by Kinder Morgan.

The overall project construction began in November 2015 and commissioning is anticipated to be completed by

November 2017 with an in-service date of December 2017. The pipeline bridge, which is planned to cross Baseline Road,

is planned to commence in September 2016.

The Base Line Terminal Project addresses industry storage demands that currently exceed storage capacity in the

Edmonton area. It has been designed to provide producers with a storage solution for their hydrocarbon products. It also

provides connectivity options by moving products from Kinder Morgan’s existing North 40 and Edmonton Terminals to

various destinations via pipeline or rail.

Kinder Morgan has gathered feedback from applicable government agencies and stakeholders to ensure we meet or

exceed regulatory requirements. Agencies consulted include the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, Alberta

Energy Regulator, Alberta Transportation, Alberta Infrastructure, Aboriginal Consultation Office and Strathcona County. In

addition, we have consulted with landowners, occupants and industry located near the proposed project.

Environmental Considerations

Environmental considerations factor significantly

into the planning and design of this project. Our

goal is to avoid impacts to the most practical and

feasible extent, and mitigate any impacts caused

by the project.

To minimize the potential for air emissions,

pipelines will be completely welded and coated

to prevent external corrosion. Drains and vents,

which will be closed during normal operations,

would be temporarily opened during some preventative maintenance inspection activities.

In the event of a leak, our detection systems would alert our 24/7 Control Center Operations who would immediately

initiate our Spill Response Plan.

How do I get more information?

Kinder Morgan is committed to working in a collaborative and responsive manner to share information about this project.

Baseline Road Bridge Crossing

A pipeline bridge is the least impactful way for multiple

new pipelines to cross Baseline Road given the density of

industrial structures in the area and setback

requirements.

Kinder Morgan is therefore proposing a pipeline bridge,

that would cross Baseline Road, to transport crude oil and

condensate from our existing Terminals to our new Base

Line Terminal. The selected pipeline routing and bridge

crossing location will minimize construction impacts to

Baseline Road and provide flexibility for other energy

companies’ facilities to grow within the existing right of

way, thereby reducing future expansion impacts.

The bridge clearance will be approximately seven meters

above the road with an initial width of 10.5 meters, which

could be expanded to 18.5 meters to accommodate

potential future pipelines. The bridge will initially hold

eight pipelines ranging in diameter from 12 to 36 inches,

but can carry up to 16 pipelines within the structure. The

bridge can be expanded in the future to accommodate an

additional 16 pipelines. Pipelines on the bridge will not be

visible from ground level.

The bridge supports will be set back from the edge of

Baseline Road, allowing for future road expansion. The

abutments will incorporate visually pleasing architectural

elements, subject to Strathcona County approval.

Pending regulatory approvals, bridge construction is planned to commence September 2016 and be completed in

September 2017. Bridge construction will begin with the installation of piles and the construction of the concrete abutments

on either side of Baseline Road. Partial lane closures lasting 7-14 days are expected while concrete pours for the abutments

are completed.

Pre-fabricated girders, which will be staged by the south side of the road, will then be installed on top of the abutments.

Placement of the girders will require a full road closure and will be completed at night to minimize impact to the public.

Once the girders are in place, the deck will be installed and concrete will be poured. Secondary steel to support the pipelines

will then be installed.

The life expectancy of the bridge is 75 years and will be maintained and inspected by Kinder Morgan on a regular basis.

Safety Considerations

Kinder Morgan is committed to public safety, protection of the environment and

operation of our facilities in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations.

Our industry-leading maintenance and pipeline integrity programs ensure the

long-term uninterrupted operation of our assets. Similar to our existing pipelines,

the newly proposed pipeline and bridge crossing will have multiple safeguards in

place to ensure constant monitoring and upkeep.

The Base Line Terminal Emergency Response Plan (ERP) ensure timely

management and resolution of emergency situations. Operating personnel will be

trained in ERP practices and implementation. Kinder Morgan will continue to

collaborate with Strathcona County Emergency Services to ensure appropriate

safety measures are in place.

The Baseline Bridge Crossing will be inaccessible to the public through the use of

security fencing near the abutments and security cameras.

Project Benefits

The entire Base Line Terminal Project is anticipated to employ an average of 450

workers per day throughout the peak construction period and will utilize both

union and non-union labour. Upon completion, the Base Line Terminal will create

23 full time equivalent positions located in Strathcona County.

Once in service, the Base Line Terminal will contribute additional municipal,

provincial and federal tax revenues.
