Jacques Whitford-AXYS provided the soils, vegetation, wildlife, historical resources, resource use and traditional land use elements for the baseline studies and environmental assessment. Ross is the EIA Technical Director for terrestrial disciplines for the project. Environmental Impact Assessment Services for Sturgeon Upgrader Petro-Canada Oil Sands Inc. Jacques Whitford-AXYS is preparing the application for the Fort Hills Energy Limited Partnership’s upgrader near Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. A comprehensive EIA and SEIA are required as part of the application to Alberta Environment and Energy and Utilities Board. Ross is the EIA Technical Director for the project. Environmental Update for Fort Hills Oil Sands Project Petro-Canada Oil Sands Inc. AXYS is providing services for an environmental baseline and effects update for the Fort Hills Oil Sands project in support of an application amendment to Alberta Environment and the EUB. Ross is the EIA Technical Director for terrestrial disciplines for the project. Scotford Upgrader Baseline Study and Environmental Impact Assessment Shell Canada Limited AXYS prepared an EIA for expansion of the existing Scotford Upgrader, near Edmonton, for accommodating the increased bitumen production from the Muskeg River Mine, north of Fort McMurray. The upgrader’s capacity is being increased from 155,000 barrels per day to 290,000 barrels per day. Ross was the EIA Technical Director for the project, and an expert witness on EIA processes and terrestrial issues at the EUB hearing. Muskeg River Mine Expansion Project Baseline Studies Shell Canada Limited AXYS provided baseline information in support of the regulatory application for Shell Canada’s plans to expand the Muskeg River Mine (north of Fort McMurray) to a bitumen production capacity of 43,000 m3 per calendar day from 30,260 m3 per calendar day. This additional production will provide additional oil sands feed, via pipeline, to the expanded Shell Scotford Upgrader near Edmonton. Ross was the Senior Environmental Advisor for the project’s environmental baseline studies.

T. Ross Eccles, BSc, MSc, PBiol

Heartland Upgrader Project Value Creation, BA Energy Inc. AXYS prepared baseline studies and managed the EIA for BA Energy’s proposed Heartland Upgrader. The upgrader will receive oil sands bitumen by pipeline and will produce 41,400 m3/d of crude oil blends and medium blends. AXYS addressed effects of both the Heartland Upgrader as well as a proposed terminal facility operated by Terasen Pipelines Ltd. to provide bitumen feedstock to the upgrader. Ross was EIA Technical Director for the project. Fort Hills Oil Sands Project TrueNorth Energy AXYS prepared baseline studies and managed the EIA for TrueNorth Energy’s proposed Fort Hills Oil Sands Project. The project was designed to produce 195,000 barrels of bitumen per day through a truck and shovel mining operation.

PROJECT RELATED EXPERIENCE – OIL SANDS DEVELOPMENTS

Canadian Natural Resources Limited Fort McMurray, Alberta Horizon Project EIA Golder Associates was responsible for the completion of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) Horizon integrated oil sands mine and upgrading project. The air quality sections of the EIA evaluated cumulative air pollutant concentrations and acid deposition across the Oil Sands Region, using the CALPUFF dispersion model (3-D mode). The EIA made use of Golder’s regional emissions database and 3-D meteorological data set, which covers the area from Fort Chipewyan in the north to the Cold Lake area in the south. Specific roles on the project included: providing overall direction to the air quality components; liaison with clients, regulators and stakeholders; participation in project workshops; providing input to the project engineering team with respect to mitigation strategies; and participating as an expert witness in the Joint Panel Hearings.

Canadian Natural Resources Limited Bonnyville, Alberta Primrose and Wolf Lake Expansion (PAW) An air quality assessment was completed to support the application for the expansion of the Primrose and Wolf Lake in-situ Oil Sands developments at the southern edge of the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range. The air quality assessment formed part of a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the project. Project and cumulative regional emissions were calculated and modelled to determine ground-level pollutant concentrations and acid deposition. The dispersion modelling was performed using CALPUFF, run in 2-D mode. A noise assessment was also completed as part of the EIA, to evaluate the facility and traffic noise levels likely to result from varying stages of project development. Specific roles included providing the overall direction for the air and noise components of the work; preparation of the relevant volume of the EIA; working closely with other disciplines to facilitate the assessment of air emissions effects on the environment; participation in regulatory workstation and responding to supplemental information request.

NOX-SOX Management Working Group (NSMWG) Northeastern Alberta Acid Deposition Management Options for the Oil Sands Region Golder have been retained to as part of an ongoing series of projects for the NSMWG committee reviewing possible air quality options for the Athabasca Oil Sands Region. The initial stage of the project conducted an regional analysis of possible soils impacts using exposure times of 30, 50 and 100 years. The results of the integrated air quality and GIS analysis produced estimates for the areas of soils at risk from acid-forming emissions for each township in the region. The second stage of the project took the analysis several steps further by evaluating the cumulative effects of historic acid deposition on regional soils over the last 32 years (1970 to 2002), as well as the expected deposition from planned and approved projects for the next 15 (2003 to 2017) and 30 (2018 to 2032) years. As part of this project is was necessary to develop an annual emissions profile for the region and predict acid deposition rates using the CALPUFF 3-D dispersion model. Specific roles on the project included the overall management of the work; liaising with members of the Working group at the outset of the project to ensure the initial direction was focused; coordinating with the other discipline team to provide the necessary outcome in a timely manner and presenting interim finding to the Working Group members.
