Line 10Westover SegmentReplacement Project

Enbridge is planning to replace a 35-kilometre (21-mile) segment of our Line 10 pipeline,

from the Westover Terminal to the Nanticoke Junction. This segment has experienced

an increasing number of preventative maintenance digs to inspect and repair the

line and has reached our conservative threshold for replacement

The Westover Segment Replacement Project will proactively address pipeline maintenance requirements, improve reliability and safety of the system and restore the pipeline

to its original operating capacity

Our regulatory application will include a plan to decommission the segment of Line 10 that’s to be replaced. This segment will be taken out of service safely and permanently, but left in place

while other pipelines in the same right-of-way continue to operate

The decommissioning process is designed to minimize the e�ect on communities and the environment:

It reduces the risk of soil stability issues

It avoids major construction activities, and reduces the potential risk

to existing pipelines from heavy equipment

Why is the pipeline left in place?

Pending regulatory approval, construction is anticipated to begin in the third quarter of 2017. The project will

provide participation opportunities for southern Ontario goods and services providers, including Aboriginal

businesses. Hotels, grocery stores, restaurants and many other local businesses will also benefit from the

presence of work crews during project construction

A peak construction labour force of 300

persons is expected
