1.0 Emergency Procedures for Pipeline Incident
Sources of Emergency notifications are divided into two (2) groups for the purpose of
administration:
Organizations: industry associations, government agencies, peer companies, etc. Individuals: employees, members of the public, customers
Emergency notifications received from organizations are normally handled by Gas Control
or the Emergency Planning Officer (EPO) who engages Gas Control. No further handling by the EPO will normally be required after the direct link has been established between a
position in the external organization and a position in SEI/TGL.
Emergency notifications received from individuals are expected to be received in 24/7 Dispatch or Gas Control through the published emergency phone numbers in www.miplcl.com. In the event that there are emergency issues that cannot be resolved
by the personnel receiving the call, the issue will be escalated using the appropriate procedures.
This process is intended to provide an assurance that all emergency notifications or
issues are acknowledged and responded to by the appropriate individuals.

2.2 Emergency Response Plan Section 1 – Overview
2.2.1 Purpose
An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is a comprehensive plan to protect the
public that includes criteria for assessing an emergency situation and
procedures for mobilizing response personnel and agencies and for establishing
communication and coordination among the parties. It is a key component of
emergency preparedness and response. An ERP addresses emergency
scenarios, potential hazards to the public, and systems required for an effective
response.
The purpose of emergency preparedness and response is to establish a decision
framework and action plan so that the licensee can quickly and effectively
respond to an emergency.
The goals of an ERP are to:
Enhance the safety of the public, company personnel (including
contractors), the environment and property.
Provide company personnel with established procedures to respond to
an emergency.
Provide company personnel with access to critical information required
to respond to an emergency.
Eliminate or minimize the effects that incidents have on company
operations.
2.2.1.1 Priority Sequence
To ensure a competent response to an emergency, all required actions
must be conducted under the following priorities. This priority sequence
follows the principle that in order for personnel to effectively respond, their
safety must first be assured.
PERSONNEL SAFETY 1
PUBLIC SAFETY 2
PROPERTY & ENVIRONMENT 3
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 28 of 130
FIGURE 2: Priority Sequence
2.2.1.2 Priorities
1. Protect Lives
Treat the injured.
Warn personnel and members of the public.
Protect animals.
2. Implement Protective Actions
Evacuate or shelter people from the effects of the emergency.
Isolate hazard areas.
Provide security for property, especially in evacuated areas.
3. Protect Property & Environment
Save the environment and property from destruction.
Prevent further contamination to the environment or property.
Restore utilities.
Restore field and corporate operations infrastructure.
2.2.1.3 Intent
The intent of this Emergency Response Plan is to provide the holder with
practical tools that will assist them through the complexities of the
Preparedness and Response principles of Emergency Management.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
MITIGATION RECOVERYPREPAREDNESS RESPONSE
FIGURE 3: Emergency Management
Emergencies may require departments to perform extraordinary functions.
In these situations, every attempt will be made to preserve organizational
integrity and assign tasks which closely match the normal tasks of each
involved department. It may be necessary to draw on employees’ basic
capacities and use them in areas of greatest need. Normal operations that
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 29 of 130
do not contribute directly to the emergency operation may be suspended
or redirected for the duration of any emergency.
2.2.2 Incident Response Cycle

What hazards are present?
What resources are on site?
What is the risk to response personnel and the public?
Are there injured people who need to be treated or assisted?
Are public warnings or protective measures required?
How large an area is involved?
Will the area be isolated?
What location would be an appropriate staging area?
Identify appropriate entrance/exit routes.
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 30 of 130
Step 2: Identify Contingencies
What may have caused the incident to occur?
What could happen to make the situation worse?
Step 3: Determine Objectives and Strategies
What to do and how to do it.
Step 4: Identify Needed Resources
What resources are needed? Request additional resources, as needed.
Where will they be obtained and how long will it take to obtain them?
Step 5: Develop an Action Plan
Assign resources to tactical objectives, while considering logistics.
Ensure appropriate safety and personnel protective measures are
implemented.
Ensure that appropriate agencies and/or personnel with expertise and
capability to carry out the Action Plan have been contacted.
Step 6: Take Action
Implement plan, supervise and coordinate.
Reevaluate the situation. If the incident is on-going, begin again at Step
1.
2.2.3 Command and Control
Command and control aims to reduce the amount of uncertainty during
response actions and is the means by which a Commander:
needs to be accomplished and arrives at
Ensures that appropriate actions are taken and completed.
Command and Control is the most important activity in emergency response. It
provides the best means of success in a complex, uncertain, and time-
competitive environment. Though not a substitute for adequate resources,
effective Command and Control provides focus, speed, coordination and
momentum to the actions of the Command Teams and allows Commanders to
make the most of what they have.
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 31 of 130
2.2.4 Incident Command System
TransGas and SaskEnergy’s response structure follows the concepts of the
Incident Command System (ICS). The ICS design structure is suitable for both
limited and complex incidents. ICS is the combination of facilities, equipment,
personnel, procedures, and communications operating within a common
organizational structure, designed to aid in the management of resources during
emergency operations.
The scale of the emergency will determine if the event is handled solely by one
person, one team, or all components. The size or number of response roles
activated will depend on the requirements of the emergency. Additionally,
response roles may be filled by responders from outside agencies and/or
support services. Therefore, the number of response positions assigned to
TransGas and SaskEnergy representatives will be based upon the number of
available personnel and the roles necessary to carry out the response.
Responders may also fill more than one response role until additional
responders arrive and are briefed on their assigned responsibilities.
The ICS organization is comprised around the following components:
FIGURE 5: ICS Organization
2.2.4.1 Key ICS Principles
Flexible organizational structure with role descriptions.
Ability to respond to small or large multi-agency incidents.
Common terminology.
An integrated communications system.
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 32 of 130
A manageable span of control – a supervisor can only effectively
manage a certain number of personnel – three to seven – with an
optimal ratio of five personnel to one supervisor.
A personnel and resources accountability system.
Designated incident facilities.
Use of incident action plans.
Unity of Command – each person reports to only one supervisor.
Chain of Command – orderly line of authority.
2.2.4.2 Benefits of Using ICS
Only those positions or functions which are needed are activated.
More than one position may be assigned to an individual.
ICS organizational structure does not change with changes in
personnel.
Unified Command.
2.2.4.3 Unity of Command
The ICS structure supports the concept of unity of command; which means
every individual has only one designated supervisor. The ICS structure is
built with a clear chain of command that demonstrates an orderly line of
authority within the system.
2.2.4.4 Span of Control
Span of control determines how many organizational elements can be
effectively managed by a single individual. ICS supports a span of control
between three and seven, with an optimal number of five elements directly
reporting to an individual. If the number of units reporting to an individual
falls outside of the 3 and 7 range, the ICS structure should be expanded or
consolidated accordingly.
2.2.4.5 Unified Command
Large scale incidents may require the use of a unified command, involving
TransGas and SaskEnergy, regulatory bodies and local authorities. Unified
command enables multiple agencies to manage an incident together by
having a common set of objectives and strategies. This also allows joint
decisions to be made within a single command structure.
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 33 of 130
2.2.5 Emergency Response Structure
2.5.5.1 Incident Command Team
The Incident Command Team is directly involved in responding to incidents
at the field site. They implement the ERP, and provide tactical command,
focusing on worker safety, public safety and site response /control
measures. The Incident Commander manages the response efforts
assigned to the Incident Command Team.
2.5.5.2 Corporate Command Team
The Corporate Command Team provides tactical direction for response and
recovery operations. Their purpose is to act in an advisory and support role
to the Incident Command Team. The Corporate Command Team is usually
comprised of corporate management and staff, responsible for monitoring
and analyzing any situation that may threaten employees, public safety,
property and/or the environment. The Corporate Commander manages
the response efforts assigned to the Corporate Command Team.
2.5.5.2 Emergency Operations Centre
An Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) is defined as an operations centre
established in a suitable location to manage the larger aspects of an
emergency. In a high-impact emergency, there may be a number of EOCs
established to support the response. These may include the regional and
corporate EOCs, a municipal EOC (MEOC), and the provincial government
EOC (GEOC).
For the purposes of this ERP TransGas and SaskEnergy’s regional EOC is
referred to as the Incident Command Centre (ICC) and TransGas and
SaskEnergy’s Corporate EOC is referred to as the Corporate Command
Centre (CCC).
Notification and activation of the TransGas and SaskEnergy EOCs will
normally occur at the following levels of emergency.

3.0 Stakeholder Liaison to Prepare for Emergencies
SaskEnergy and TransGas engages with emergency responders in regular meetings
and trainings to discuss, and prepare for emergency response. These meetings are
ii
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 85 of 130
also used to confirm that both emergency officials and SaskEnergy/TransGas have
the current, correct contact information and calling priorities.
3.1.1 Government Roles
SaskEnergy/TransGas as part of the provincial emergency management
committee works with other government agencies. Responsibilities under the
Saskatchewan Emergency Plan are summarized as follows:
Ministerial (Crown Corporation) Responsibilities:
Ministries, agencies and Crown Corporations of the Government of Saskatchewan will respond with advice and assistance in accordance with this,
the Saskatchewan Emergency Plan, in coordination with their own departmental emergency planning documents and procedures. When several ministries are
involved, coordination of the response will be provided by Saskatchewan Emergency Management and Fire Safety.
All Government of Saskatchewan ministries, agencies and Crown Corporations are responsible for:
Appointing a senior representative to the PEMC; and Maintaining departmental emergency plans and providing copies to
Corrections and Public Safety (CPS) for review; and
Providing input into the Provincial Emergency Plan; and Providing assistance and advice to municipalities in times of emergency; and
Responding directly to emergencies when the department has specific jurisdictional responsibility to do so; and
Providing departmental resources, as identified, in response to emergencies.
All ministerial EPOs are responsible for:
The development of departmental emergency plans and programs; and Departmental review of and input to the Provincial Emergency Plan; and Designating departmental representatives and support staff to a provincial
response is necessary; and Allocating and releasing departmental resources in times of emergency; and

3.2 Continuing Education
The Stakeholder Engagement Procedure supports educating the affected public and
Public Officials in the frequency indicated in Table 10 and serves as a two- way
communication between the company and public.
TABLE 8: Messaging Frequency by Audience
Table 11 describes the message types provided in these stakeholder engagement
events.
TABLE 9: Message Types
Pipeline Purpose and Reliability
A general explanation of the: 1. purpose of the pipeline and/ or facilities
2. the reliability of pipeline to meet the energy needs of the region, and
3. that security is considered.
Hazard Awareness and
Prevention Measures (Less Detailed for all Audiences)
Provide a broad overview of hazards, their potential
consequences, and the measures undertaken to prevent or mitigate the risks from pipelines. Additionally, communicate an overview of preventative measures to help assure safety
and prevent incidents.
Hazard Awareness and
Prevention Measures (More Detailed for
Emergency Official Audiences)
The scope of the hazard awareness and prevention message
should be more detailed for the emergency responder audience than for other audiences, and should include how
to obtain more specific information upon request.
Overview of Potential Hazards
General information about the nature of hazards posed by pipelines should be included, while also assuring the stakeholder audience that accidents are relatively rare. The
causes of pipeline failures, such as third-party excavation damage, corrosion, material defects, worker error, and
ii
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 88 of 130
events of nature can also be communicated.
Overview of Potential Consequences
Information should identify the product release characteristics and potential hazards that could result from
an accidental release from the pipeline.
Summary of Prevention Measures Undertaken
The potential hazard message should be coupled with a general overview of the preventative measures undertaken
in the planning, design, operation, maintenance, inspection and testing of the pipeline. This message should also reinforce how the stakeholder audience can play an
important role in preventing third-party damage and right-of way encroachments.
Potential Hazards of Products Transported
Specify information about the release characteristics and potential hazards posed by the accidental release.
Leak Recognition (How to recognize a
Pipeline Leak)
Inform on how to recognize a pipeline leak through the senses of sight, unusual sound, and smell (as appropriate to
the product type) and describe any associated dangers.
Response to a Pipeline
Leak
Outline the appropriate actions to take once a pipeline leak
or release is suspected. This information should include: What to do if a leak is suspected and what not to do if a leak is suspected. It is especially important to include
specific information on detection response if the pipeline contains product that, when released, could be immediately
hazardous to health.
Liaison with Emergency
Officials
This information should indicate that both SEI/TGL and the
local emergency response officials have an ongoing relationship designed to prepare and respond to an emergency.
Priority to Protect Life Emphasize that public safety and environmental protection are the top priorities in any pipeline emergency response.
Emergency Contacts Share contact information for SEI/TGL local offices and 24-hour emergency telephone line with local and provincial
emergency officials. SEI/TGL should also use the meetings with emergency officials to confirm that both emergency officials and the SEI/TGL have the current, correct contact
information and calling priorities.
Emergency
Preparedness Response Plans
Include information about how emergency officials can
access the response plans covering their jurisdiction.
Emergency Preparedness - Drill and
Exercises
A supplemental means of two-way communication about emergency preparedness through conducting emergency
response drills or exercises with emergency response
MIPL(C)L Emergency Response Manual
Page 89 of 130
officials. Information on incident command system roles,
establishing unified command, response guidelines, and preparedness for various emergency scenarios can be
communicated effectively and thoroughly through a hands-on drill or exercise.
Damage Prevention Communicate damage prevention messaging consistent with the key “Dig Safe” messages developed by the Common Ground Alliance (CGA). Explain the use of an
excavation First-Call/One-Call Notification system to the audience. Provide information on the prevalence of digging-
related damage, also known as third-party damage, as appropriate. Request that the audience call the provincial One-Call System in their area before they begin any
excavation activity. Provides for notification of the public in the vicinity of the pipeline and actual notification of the
excavators (who normally engage in excavation activities in the area in which the pipeline is located) as often as needed to make them aware of the damage prevention program,
and the program’s existence and purpose, and how to learn the location of underground pipelines before excavation
activities are begun.
Transmission Pipeline
Markers
The audience should know how to identify a transmission
pipeline ROW by recognition of pipeline markers especially at road crossings, fence lines and street intersections; awareness communications should include information
about what pipeline markers look like, and
the fact that telephone numbers are on the markers for their use if an emergency is suspected or discovered.
Communications should also be clear that pipeline
markers do not indicate the exact location or depth of the pipeline and may not be present in certain areas. As
such, use of the One-Call notification system should be encouraged.
3.3 Training and Exercises
The EMP has established an Emergency Response 101 training for employees and
natural gas awareness training for first responders. The training outlines the
guidelines of what is expected and what will be the initial course of action for
employees and roles and responsibilities of each first responders (fire department,
RCMP/ local police, medical/ambulance) in SaskEnergy and TransGas Energy as
provided in Corporate Emergency Response Booklet.
Emergency response exercises are held annually.
