Hatch Mott Imported Phosphate Rock TerminalMacDonald Project Report for Issue to Port Metro Vancouver

1.0 PROJECT BRIEF

The purpose of this Project Report is to support the application for a Project Permit from Port MetroVancouver (PMV) with respect to the “Craig Project”, which details the reinstatement of phosphaterock (phos rock) importation at Berth 3 of Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. (NBT). NBT is abulk materials handling terminal in North Vancouver, BC that principally handles potash and coalexports. It also handles limited amounts of other export commodities including canola oil,agri-products and fertilizer. In all cases the commodities are received at the terminal by train andexported in dry or liquid bulk carriers, Importing phos rock at NBT began in the late 1960s andcontinued in varying volumes through to 2003. In 2003 Agrium began to source its phos rock fromthe Kapuskasing Phosphate Mine (KPO) in Eastern Canada.

Agrium’s existing supply of phos rock from the KPO mine is expected to end in the first half of 2013.For this reason, Agrium must source economically viable phos rock from an alternative source tomaintain operations at its Redwater Phosphate Operations plant after that time. After reviewingmany options, the only viable sources of suitable phos rock are from off-shore sources.

To this end, Agrium has initiated the Imported Phosphate Rock Terminal Project (also known as theCraig Project), which is a brownfield project at NBT. The project is to reinstate operations as theywere during the previous importing of phos rock at this terminal. The project intention is to useexisting infrastructure with upgrades as appropriate to ensure a low maintenance operation throughthe project design life. In resuming these operations, modern design principles and equipment willbe incorporated into the existing facility to ensure engineering best practices are being employed.The proposed refit is on the critical path to maintain phos rock operations once KPO is shutdown.NBT would begin importing phos rock in 2013.

This project is not implementing any change in operation from the phos rock imports of previousyears. For this reason, it does not impose any changes to the facilities on land or water and iscompliant with PMV’s Land Use Plan. Additionally, there is no dredging, in-water works, or landreclamation associated with this project. Finally, there are no foreseen off-site impacts that mayaffect neighbouring residents, industrial users, or commercial users. There are no newenvironmental permits required for the Craig Project; however, some amendments will be required.NBT’s current permits authorize all discharges contemplated by the project.

2.0 OVERVIEW

Following various studies with respect to unloading strategies for the phos rock material, importationusing Supramax vessels with gear mounted cranes and equipped with specialized terminal providedgrabs was chosen as the most suitable option for Berth 3 unloading. These Supramax shipsmanoeuvre well and have draft requirements of less than 13.7 m, meaning no additional dredging isrequired at the berth beyond normal maintenance dredging. The ship’s gear mounted cranes willunload product into four new dedicated shore based travelling hoppers. Each hopper will beprovided with dedicated onboard dust collection and suppression equipment, wind guards, a spillplate, and a covered conveyor.

Hatch Mott Imported Phosphate Rock TerminalMacDonald Project Report for Issue to Port Metro Vancouver

The four travelling hoppers will transport material to an existing conveyor RI, which will in turntransfer material onto a new transfer conveyor R2 and then on to the new tripper conveyor R3 whichwill discharge material into a new storage building.

Reclaim of the phos rock product will commence from the existing reclaim tunnel, which is positionedbelow the storage building, via the existing reclaim conveyor CVI. Phos rock will then transfer to anew transfer conveyor CV2 and then on to a new shuffle conveyor CV4 where it will discharge intofour specialized weigh-bins housed within a new railcar loading station positioned over Track 6. Thematerial will be discharged from these bins into railcars for transportation to the Redwater PhosphateOperations plant. The position of the new railcar loading station was selected following variousoption studies to optimize handling of all commodities through this terminal while maximizing accesspast this infrastructure. Refer to the Project Site Plan found in Appendix A of this document forillustration of these elements.

3.0 EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

It is the project intention to reuse the existing structures such as the reclaim tunnel, transfer towersand conveyors without modifications and with only minimal rehabilitation where possible since theyare being used in the same configuration as they were originally designed for and as the currentdesign does not impose additional loads on them.

4.0 NEW INFRASTRUCTURE

There are two new buildings to be constructed for this project. The first is the new phos rock storagebuilding, a pre-engineered structure with an A-frame configuration and with a volumetric capacity ofapproximately 60,000 t of phos rock and a size of 7,150m2,which replaces the storage bins usedpreviously in this operation. This building will be similar in cross-sectional dimensions andappearance as the adjacent potash storage buildings and will be obscured from the view of residentsto the north by these existing buildings. The second new structure required for this project is therailcar loading station to be located on Track 6. This structure will be smaller in size than theexisting loading station situated on Track 4.

In addition, other miscellaneous new infrastructure to be constructed include: a new escape tunnelfrom the existing reclaim tunnel to provide egress at its north-east end; a new transfer towerbetween conveyors CV2 and CV4, which replaces an existing transfer tower on Track 4 to bedemolished; four new travelling hoppers to allow off loading of material from the ships to the on landconveyor Ri, which replace the two existing travelling hoppers used in earlier operations; as well asnew conveyors necessary to replace existing conveyors that were at the end of their useful life orwhich are required to accommodate the revised position of the railcar loading station.

5.0 DEMOLITION

The option studies which identified the location of the new railcar loading station also identified theneed to relocate existing rail tracks closer together and towards the north to maximize access pastthe new infrastructure. As a consequence of these rail track shifts some of the existing infrastructurecame into conflict with revised rail clearance envelopes and so will be demolished. These include:

conveyor CV2 which runs from the existing reclaim tunnel to the new transfer tower prior to therailcar loading station; Transfer Tower ‘E’; and conveyor CV3, which runs between Transfer Tower‘E’ and the existing railcar loading station on Track 4. The existing railcar loading station will remainand only portions of it that project into new railcar clearance envelopes will be demolished.

6.0 SITE SERVICING

Included in the scope of this project are some upgrades and replacements as well as protection andtie-ins to existing infrastructure for the various site services on the NBT property.

6.1 Wash-down

As a part of the plant’s operational requirements, area-specific wash-down capacity will be providedin the following locations: the park positions of the travelling hoppers, the outgo area of the railcarloading station, and the storage building entrance location. As a part of this system, each area willbe equipped with wash-down water supply, collection, and conveyance to the existing wash-downwater system. Wash-down water will eventually be conveyed to the existing dry-bulk treatmentfacility for potash operations; where the effluent will be discharged under the current permit criteriainto the North Vancouver/GVS&DD sanitary sewer. This discharge will use the existing dry-bulkeffluent 8-inch force main, as is currently done. Under no circumstances will the wash-down waterbe discharged directly into the Burrard Inlet or to the site storm sewer system.

The modifications and improvements to the existing system that are contemplated for this projectinclude: wash-down slabs with dedicated sumps and containment walls and/or curbs; additionalsumps along Berth #3; addition of new oil/water separators; enlargement and modifications to theexisting settling basin near the potash pond; and replacement of the existing settling basin near thenew storage building. Settling basin upgrades and replacements will be designed to remove 85% ofTSS at the maximum design peak flow and the oil/grit separator will discharge 15mg/I ofhydrocarbons and less than 600 mg/I of TSS as per Neptune’s current permit. All other dischargecriteria stipulated in the existing permit including ph, nitrogen content and metals content will be metthrough treatment at the existing dry-bulk treatment facility as was done in previous operations. Theoverall rate of discharge will be reduced by an estimated reduction of 4.7 LIs as a result of theredirection of stormwater from the storage roof building to Burrard Inlet.

Given the design of the new facilities and improvements to the existing wash-down water and drybulk treatment facility, the proposed phos rock operation will not have a negative effect on theexisting system’s capacity to treat and discharge effluent. The following table lists the wash-downwater and surface runoff associated with the phos rock operation as well as the anticipated effectson the existing water treatment and effluent discharge system on site.

6.2 Storm Water & Water SupplyThe new phos rock storage building will require protecting or relocating some of the existing watersupply and storm water systems These include the partial relocation of both the 8” dia. water main,which runs along the railway tracks on the south side of the storage building and the 24” dia. stormsewer, which runs along the north side of this building.

New water supplies for hose stations will be provided at the travelling hopper operating and wash-down areas, the storage building entrance, and the railcar loading station where it will be used bothfor hose stations and a permanently installed railcar washing system.

Water flow at the existing supply loop has been measured and is considered to be adequate foranticipated wash-down requirements. Pressure boosting will be included if required based onoperational concerns.

Storm water will be collected from most of the project site using both new and existing sumps,swales and trenches and will be directed to the existing dry-bulk treatment facility prior to dischargeinto the GVS&DD sanitary sewer as is currently done. The sources comprising this flow include thetravelling hoppers, the area along Berth #3 and conveyor Ri, the hopper parking area, the railcarloading station and the perimeter of the storage building. One exception to this is the stormwaterrun-off from the storage building roof, which will not be expected to include entrained material and sowill be collected in a supplier-provided roof drainage system. This roof run-off will be directed intothe existing site-wide storm water system where it will be discharged into Burrard Inlet. Thisstormwater discharge is permitted under the City of North Vancouver’s Sewerage and DrainageUtility Bylaw, 1995, No. 6746.

6.3 Fire Protection

Fire protection will be provided via hose connections, standpipes and sprinklers at select locations.Following code consultant review of the buildings and structures provided under this project scope, itwas established that in general sprinklers were not required at any new or existing structuresprovided that non-combustible construction was used and that standpipes and fire hose connectionswere provided in accordance with code. The exception to this is the existing reclaim tunnel, whichhas been provided with a dry sprinkler system to satisfy the requirements for basements.

Fire water for the systems associated with this project will be extracted from the city water supplycurrently feeding the site. As the pressure of this supply can vary depending on the time of day andthe amount of water consumption from other on-site activities, a fire water booster pump will beinstalled to ensure adequate pressure at elevated floors. Site evaluation was completed to confirmadequate flow capacity for this system. System design, including fire pump selection and installationwill be carried out in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 20 and 24 (for the associated pipingand fixtures).

A fire department connection will be installed to provide an additional source of pressurization ifdeemed more appropriate during an incident. To facilitate pressurization of the entire system byeither the fire pump or the fire department connection, a ring feed will be installed around the newphos rock storage building.

All standpipe and fire hose stations will be provided with alarms that feed back to the existingcentralized fire control panel and will be provided with a redundant loop.

6.4 Electrical

As a consequence of incorporating modern design principles and equipment into this facility,additional automation and material handling efficiencies will be added to the work. The controlsystems provided in the previous operations will be replaced with modern PLC’s and will beintegrated into the existing central control system.

These modernizations will place a slightly greater demand on the site-wide electrical system,increasing the electrical load by approximately 750kW from that demanded in the previousoperations; an increase within the existing substation capacity. Also as a part of this modernizationa new 12.5kV feeder cable will be provided from the existing substation to a new electrical roomlocated to the north-east of the new storage building to ensure an independent power supply; afeature not present in the previous operations.

The new electrical room will power the new and existing conveyors, storage building, railcar loadingstation, area lights, associated pumps, and dust collection equipment. The existing electrical roomat the head end of conveyor Ri will be outfitted with new electrical equipment with medium-voltagepower fed from the new electrical room. This equipment will power the travelling hoppers andassociated pumps, lighting and dust collection equipment for this area.

New lighting will be installed on the structures and conveyor equipment and will incorporate shieldingto direct light within the site boundaries.

7.0 DUST CONTROL

Existing infrastructure or ‘replacement in kind’ will be used to transfer phos rock from vessels at Berth #3to the storage building and reclaimed from this building to railcar loading station, which will transfer thismaterial into railcars. Infrastructure upgrades and modifications specific to the reduction of dustemissions include passive and active dust control as well as high efficiency dust collection andcontainment systems (equivalent capture efficiency to a baghouse). Some of these modifications are asfollows and summarized further in Table 7.1:

• Vessel unloading equipment: addition of baffles, fog and/or mist, dust skirts and a collection andcapture system to collect both small and large particulate material.

• Conveyors: addition of controlled flow chutes and an insertable dust capture system.

• Phos rock storage: Replacement of existing storage silos with a single A-frame type storagebuilding, maintained at negative pressure. Dust capture and collection systems will be located inclose proximity to the building in place of vents on previously permitted works (now demolished).

• Railcar Loading Station: a high efficiency dust collection and containment system will be added tothis structure.

The proposed modifications will result in an overall decrease in dust emissions relative to those from2003 when the facility was last operational. Analytical tests completed on the phos rock indicated thepresence of a very low level of pure crystalline silica resulting in the dust (for silica purposes) being

classified under the “Particle Not Otherwise Classified” nuisance dust standard of 3.0 mg/rn3 for respirablesized dusts. The BC Occupational Exposure Limit for pure crystalline silica is 0.025 mg/rn3. Through theuse of suitable capture equipment (baghouse or high efficiency scrubber) the majority of particulatematter, including the silica, will be collected. Given the low levels of silica present in the phos rock andthe high degree of dust control, air born levels of silica that exceed guidelines are not anticipated.Emission control works will be regularly maintained to ensure levels do not exceed guidelines.

• Use of modern specialized grabs to minimize spillage

• Instrumentation that prevents the grab from opening too highabove the hopper grizzly or outside of the hopper skirting

• Automatic control to prevent the grab from unloading at a ratethat cannot be handled by the installed systems

• A water-based suppression system will be used on the hopperto minimize dust rising during loading

• An air collection plenum will be located in the hopper andbaffles will be provided to redirect displaced dust volume backtoward the bottom of the hopper

• Exhaust air from the plenum will pass through a dust captureand collection system before it is discharged

• Curved “controlled flow” chutes will be used to prevent “freefalling” product.

• Fine particles will be captured by a dust collection system.

• Phos rock will be dumped into a spiral chute, which will depositmaterial at the ground floor level with minimal free-fall. Oncean initial pile has been formed, additional material will then bedeposited against its sloping face.

• The storage building will be ventilated through high efficiencycapture devices and be maintained at negative air pressure.

• Loader operators in this building will operate equipmentprovided with exhaust scrubbers and sealed environmentallycontrolled operator’s cabins.

• Dust will be controlled by creating a negative pressure in thekey areas within the railcar loading station. The loading pointswill be provided with a dust collection system.

• the loadout building will contain a high efficiency dust captureand collection system

Various options were studied for the preferred location of the railcar loading station to optimizehandling of all commodities through this terminal. Following these studies, Track 6 was chosen as

the location for this station, with the consequent requirement that rail tracks must be shifted closertogether and toward the north to provide increased access south of the new structure. These railshifts complete with associated switches, etc. will be constructed to coordinate with the constructionof new infrastructure adjacent to them.

9.0 SITE WORKS

The required site development works for this project include site grading at the new storage buildingincluding minor excavation and backfill at both building sites required for foundations construction.In addition, the majority of the area will have an asphalt pavement to ensure easy access for mobilemachinery as well as helping to convey surface runoff into their appropriate drains.

10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND BMPS

During the construction and terminal operations of this project there are only minor environmentalimpacts anticipated. These are listed below in addition to the proposed mitigating steps and bestmanagement practices.

10.1 Air Quality

Project activities during construction and operation will release criteria air contaminants (CACs)including sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and volatileorganic compounds). In North Vancouver, the release of CACs is authorized by the GreaterVancouver Regional District (GVRD, now Metro Vancouver) under the provisions of the GVRD AirQuality Management Bylaw. Emissions at the proposed project site are currently authorized in thepermit outlined below which is held by NBT and can be found as reference in Appendix B of thisdocument:

Air Quality Management Permit—(No. GVAOO81) issued on July 16, 1999; amendedSeptember 15, 2004; and again amended on May 16, 2008.

The existing air discharge permit allows for emissions from the following locations; marine vesselunloading equipment and hoppers, all conveyors and transfer points associated with Berth No. 3used to transport phosphate rock, two silo vents at phos rock storage, and bag house exhaust at thephosphate rock railcar loading station. In each case, improvements to the dust collection system asa result of this Project will result in an overall reduction in discharges relative to the permittedcriteria. However, the permit will require amendment to represent the new and improved dustsuppression and collection system.

10.1.1 Construction

Emissions during construction will be nominal and are not expected to substantially affect local air quality.These emissions are associated with the removal and replacement of old infrastructure. Generally,emissions from construction are proportional to the disturbed land area and the level of construction andlimited to periods of the day and week when the construction activities take place. Regardless, theseactivities are expected to be mitigated further through the application of mitigations listed below.

Hatch Mott Imported Phosphate Rock TerminalMacDonald Project Report for Issue to Port Metro Vancouver

10.1.2 Operations

Due to modifications to dust collection infrastructure, activities during the operations phase of theproject will result in an overall decrease in emissions relative to 2003 when the facility was lastoperational. Some of the modifications are not listed in the existing NBT permit. As a result, a minoramendment will likely be required.

The steps that will be taken during operations at the plant with respect to air quality have beendescribed in detail in Section 7.0 — Dust Control.

10.1.3 Mitigation

Though no exceedances in guidelines are anticipated, the following mitigations will be followed:

• Established industry maintenance practices

• Emissions control technology (see section 7.0)

10.2 Water Quality

Project activities have the potential to affect water quality as a result of dewatering during the constructionphase and the collection of storm water and wash-down water during operations. On site discharge tothe sanitary sewer is authorized under NBT’s permit SC-100002-NSSA, which is detailed below andreferenced in Appendix B.

• Waste Discharge Permit—(No. SC-100002-NSSA) issued on November 1, 1991; and lastamended on November 16, 2007

This permit allows a maximum daily discharge of 3,500 m3/day with a maximum instantaneous peakflow rate of 63.0 litres/second.

Effluent discharge is expected to be at or slightly below existing levels and therefore, we do notexpect to require an amendment to Permit No. SC-100002-NSSA, other than to identify new sourceand sampling location.

On site stormwater discharge to Burrard Inlet must comply with water quality standards as outlinedin the Environmental Management Act. As a result, no deleterious substances will be dischargedand therefore all activities will be compliant with section 36 of the Fisheries Act and the water qualityrequirements of the City of North Vancouver’s Bylaw No. 6746.

10.2.1 Construction

The groundwater table at site is 0.6 to 1.2 m above mean tide level whereas ground elevation is 3.6 mabove mean tide level. As a result, ground water may reside as high as 2.4 m below grade. This level isI m above the bottom of the reclaim tunnel that is being refurbished and may be above the depth of somefoundation preparation work and some tunnel modification work. As a result, it is expected that somedewatering will be required during construction. Groundwater collected from dewatering will betemporarily stored on site while testing to determine contaminant levels is conducted. Based onanalytical results, groundwater will be disposed of in an appropriate off-site disposal location or will betreated at the existing dry-bulk treatment facility prior to discharge into the GVS&DD sanitary sewer withinthe criteria stipulated by the current permit.

__________

Project Report for Issue to Port Metro Vancouver

Due to the off-site disposal of groundwater there will be no increase in water discharge during theconstruction phase and therefore activities will be compliant with existing discharge permits. However,minor amendments to permits may be required to identify new source locations and systems.

10.2.2 Operations

The steps that will be taken during operations at the terminal with respect to waste water and stormwater have been described in detail in Section 6.1 —Wash-down and Section 6.2- Storm water &Water Supply.

The existing, modified and new settling basins provided with this project will ensure that wash-waterand storm water that flow into the existing dry-bulk treatment facility will be of a quality that can betreated and discharged into the GVS&DD sanitary sewer within the criteria stipulated by the currentpermit. The rate of discharge to the GVS&DD will be reduced by an estimated reduction of 4.7 LIs asa result of the re-direction of stormwater from the storage building to a stormwater drain discharginginto Burrard Inlet.

No increases in effluent to the GVS&DD sanitary sewer is anticipated and the small increase of 18 Us instormwater discharge to Burrard Inlet is compliant with the Fisheries Act and the Corporation of the City ofNorth Vancouver Bylaw. As a result, planned project activities will be compliant with existing permits andbylaws.

10.2.3 Mitigation

Mitigations in place to address potential effects on water quality are as follows:

• Water from construction dewatering will be removed from site and disposed of in an appropriatelocation based on its level of contamination or treated in accordance with the existing permit;

• Storm water, and wastewater associated with this project scope will be collected and treatedbefore discharge from the site in accordance with the existing permit and bylaw.

10.3 Noise

Increases in noise levels due to project based activities are most likely to occur during the constructionphase of the project due to the presence of heavy equipment. During the operations phase increases innoise level will be minimized through project design. Measures taken to ensure that noise levels arecompliant with the noise-by-law for the City of North Vancouver are outlined below.

10.3.1 Construction

Construction equipment and associated activities will be largely limited to use of excavators, rough terrainmobile cranes, dump trucks and semi-trailers carrying construction materials. Pile driving equipment maybe required depending on the type of foundation to be used at the railcar loading station and transfertower ‘F’. High sound power level activities, such as blasting, will not be required. Due to the intermittentuse of equipment and the limited amount of high sound power level equipment (i.e., possibly pile drivers)it is not anticipated that sound levels will exceed the City of North Vancouver’s noise by-law number 5819(i.e., 80 dB(A) daytime) measured at the point of reception. In addition, construction activities will belimited to the daytime hours (07:00 — 20:00 h with a further noise restriction on weekends and publicholidays to include 07:00 to 09:00 h) as stipulated in the by-law.

10.3.2 Operations

NBT is situated in an industrialized area of terminals, commercial businesses, and other activities, whichcollectively contribute to the ambient noise environment. Renewed activities on the site will generatenoise levels consistent with historical phos rock import activities. Noise generators associated with theproject include trains, conveyors and dust suppression equipment, all of which were present in pastoperations.

Train movements with the renewed operations are consistent with those that occurred historically at thesite. Seven phos rock trains will visit the terminal each week. No shunting is required due to the length ofthe trains (37 cars). No increase in frequency of bells and whistles from trains is expected because no at-grade crossings in the area will be affected. The noise generated from this renewed activity is notexpected to be greater than the noise generated historically for this operation. Noise levels are expectedto be within the current City of North Vancouver by-law limits.

Noise generated as a result of on-site equipment such as conveyors, dust capture and collection systemswill be reduced to the greatest extent possible through project design. This will ensure compliance withcurrent City of North Vancouver noise by-law. Following project start-up, noise levels during projectoperation will be compared with ambient levels. If noise from project activities is detected above ambientlevels additional measures will be taken to reduce sound.

10.3.3 Mitigation

NBT is committed to bi-annual community noise monitoring to ensure compliance with City of NorthVancouver by-law limits. In addition to monitoring, the following mitigation measures will be implemented:

• Application of best management practices such as well-maintained equipment and internalcombustion engines fitted with appropriate muffler systems;

• Proper maintenance of conveyor components;

• Provision of acoustical enclosures for compressors and other installed equipment with a highnoise signature.

10.4 Ambient Light

Light sources will be required during construction and operations and will result in an increase in ambientlight. Light sources are discussed below.

10.4.1 Construction

To ensure a safe work environment some lighting may be required during evening and early morningconstruction activities. To avoid excessive light spill, directed lighting will be used where and when it isneeded. Where activities are not occurring, the use of lighting will be reduced. Any complaints receivedas a result light annoyance will be responded to promptly by NBT.

10.42 Operations

During operations there will be an increase in light sources including building exterior and interior lightingand lighting mounted on conveyors. The lighting design will conform to Part 4 of the WorkSafe BC OHSregulations, and will include light shielding which makes use of ‘dark sky’ fixtures to greatly reduce excesslight. The exterior lighting will be controlled by photocells with manual overrides that allow lights to be

Hatch Mott Imported Phosphate Rock Terminal1 MacDonald Project Report for Issue to Port Metro Vancouver

turned off when they are not required. Although there will be an increase in the amount of light spill,design measures will ensure these are minimal and therefore are not expected to be substantiallydifferent from current lighting conditions.

10.4.3 Mitigations

The following mitigations will be implemented:

• Use of shielded, cut-off design construction lighting;

• Directing light to where it is needed while still maintaining personnel safety;

• Control light levels, including reducing lighting where activities are not occurring;

• Light shielding on outdoor lights.

10.5 Visual Effects

Upgrades to the existing infrastructure will result in some minor alterations to the viewscape, largelyassociated with construction of the new storage building. The original viewscape included two silos thathave since been removed and will be replaced with a single storage building. This building will havesimilar dimensions and height (approximately 29 m) to the existing, adjacent buildings and therefore is notexpected to significantly alter the viewscape.

10.6 Off-Site Impacts

As part of this project, the following off-site impacts that will be mitigated as much as possibleinclude the requirement for laydown and warehousing areas within the general vicinity of the terminaland neighbourhood. These areas will be acquired temporarily by complying with all applicablebylaws and regulations. Their size will be kept to minimal as required by the projects constructionrequirements.

10.7 Contaminated Soils

Project activities are on an existing industrial site with historical contamination. Management ofcontaminated soils during construction will follow Neptune’s Excavated Soil Management Standard(ESMS) document No.09-900-6-009 dated Sept. 16, 2009 (approved by PMV). A copy of the protocol willbe provided to the contractors prior to starting work.

Consistent with the ESMS all excavated soils will be sampled and analyzed for potential contaminantsbefore transport off site. If practical, sampling will occur a minimum of eight weeks prior to plannedexcavation. If sampling cannot take place until after excavation has begun, temporary stockpiles will becovered with tarps or poly liner to prevent leaching of potential contaminants. Analytical results will becompared to applicable regulations to classify the excavated materials as residential fill, commercial filland/or otherwise. Based on soil classification, the contractor will dispose of the soil using approvedtransportation and disposal facilities.

10.8 Spills

During the ship unloading process, operating procedures and hopper design will be implemented tominimize any potential that phos rock could be accidentally spilt from the grabs or hoppers. Theseinclude the operational and design requirements that: a) the operations crew will continually adjust the

lines and gangway between the vessel and the terminal to compensate for changing vessel draft duringunloading and tidal conditions; b) crane operators will slew and luff the ships crane to ensure that thegrab is always over some form of spill protection; c) instrumentation will be used to ensure the hopper ismotionless and empty and the hopper spill plate is lowered into position before vessel unloading starts;and d) instrumentation will also be used to prevent the grabs from opening unless positionedappropriately within the hopper, at a specified height range and with sufficient space available to receivethe contents of the grab.

Systems will be incorporated into the design such as skirting, controlled flow chutes, continuous spillplates at all elevated conveyors, etc. to minimize spills along the stacking and reclaim conveyor systems.Any spills in these areas will be cleaned up within a reasonable interval following the ship unloading orrailcar loading operations. Additionally, all railcars will be washed down prior to release from sitefollowing the railcar loading operation.

11.0 PROPERTY AGREEMENTS

All land required for this project is on Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd.’s leased property.

12.0 BUILDING PERMIT

We propose to Port Metro Vancouver that an independent code consultant be engaged to review allsubmitted drawings with respect to building code compliance issues. We are proceeding on thatbasis and have provided general arrangement drawings of the new buildings for initial review.
