Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program

Current Licence AEMP work undertaken 2002-2006:

  • consultation
  • review previous studies
  • loche liver study
  • whitefish flesh study
  • effluent dispersion, mixing zone
  • effluent, water, sediment quality
  • toxicity testing
  • licence SNP sampling
  • hydrocarbon seeps

Final report submitted in 2007. Program concluded in 2008.

  • Maintain strong focus on flowline integrity.
  • Flowline Integrity Management Manual will be submitted to NEB and SLWB by

September 30, 2014. Will highlight corrosion management plan including:

  • chemical programs
  • flowline inspections
  • maintenance pigging
  • cathodic protection

Flow line I ntegrity

  • weight loss coupons
  • coatings and liners
  • non-destructive examination (NDE)
  • facilities and production surveillance

Cross-river Flowlines:

  • thicker walled pipe and a concrete coating
  • carbon steel flowlines with and without liners
  • metal loss inspections conducted on non-lined carbon steel flowlines

1980s Vintage Small Diameter Flowlines:

  • 20 in-line inspections and engineering assessments since 2012
  • interim risk mitigation program consisting of pressure testing and

increased surveillance

  • repairs, replacements, and rehabilitations ongoing
  • reviewed with the NEB on a semi-annual basis

Closure & Reclam ation W orking Group

Imperial plans to update the existing Conceptual Closure and Reclamation Plan. The SLWB has issued Terms of Reference and invitation for membership in a “Closure and Reclamation Work Group” to facilitate discussion and provide input on the Plan. Working Group Goals:

  • confirm closure criteria (CCME, site specific)
  • study is scientifically rigorous, incorporates Traditional Knowledge
  • communities understand and support planned end land use

Schedule:

  • post-hearing 2014: working group membership finalized; first meeting
  • post-licence renewal: goals, accountabilities, responsibilities agreed
  • post-renewal + 1 year: working sessions
  • 1 year post-renewal: Imperial to submit plan for regulatory approval

A&R work will continue to progress as the Closure Plan is being developed.
