Updated terminal risk assessments
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB for approval,
at least 6 months prior to
commencing construction, and at the same time as Trans Mountain’s filings for
Conditions 23, 24 and 25
, updated risk assessments for the Edmonton Terminal West
Tank Area, the Sumas Terminal, and the Burnaby Terminal. The updated risk assessments
must quantify and/or include the following:
a) the effect of any revised spill burn rates ;
b) the potential consequences of a boil-over;
c) the potential consequences of flash fires and vapour cloud explosions;
d) the cumulative risk based on the total number of tanks in the terminal, considering
all potential events (pool fire, boil-over, flash fire, vapour cloud explosion);
e) the domino (knock-on) effect caused by a release of the contents of one tank on
other tanks within the terminal’s common impoundment area(s), or other tanks in
adjacent impoundment areas; and
f) risk mitigation measures, including ignition source control methods.
For those risks that cannot be eliminated, Trans Mountain must demonstrate in each
risk assessment that mitigation measures will reduce the risks to levels that are As
Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) while complying with the Major Industrial
Accidents Council of Canada (MIACC) criteria for risk acceptability.
The quantitative risk analysis must be based on recognized methodology, models, and
software. Product release frequencies and event probabilities must be based on recent,
documented data sources. The effect of mitigation measures on the risk results must be
justified and documented.

Secondary containment – Edmonton Terminal
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB for approval,
at least 6 months prior to
commencing construction
, the final design of the Edmonton Terminal West Tank
Area, including a report demonstrating the following:
a) the drainage system’s capability to rapidly and safely channel a significant
release from any tank in the West Tank Area Common Impoundment to the
Remote Impoundment Annex and Remote Impoundment at the same time that
a design precipitation event is occurring, without overtopping the diked areas.
b) the adequacy of the design in mitigating the following consequences of an
accidental release and/or ignition of hydrocarbons, both within and beyond the
Edmonton Terminal property boundary:
i)
harm to personnel and the public;
ii) environmental damage; and
iii) damage to facilities; and
c) the ability of the Common Impoundment, Remote Impoundment Annex, and
Remote Impoundment to contain a release of hydrocarbons from a rupture of
the largest tank within the West Tank Area concurrent with a 1-in-100 year, 24-
hour storm event. The scenario must include an allowance for water generated
from potential firefighting activities and the maximum potential amount of
standing water in all areas of the secondary containment system.
