Nature of the Applications
Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc.  has applied pursuant to Part 4 of the Pipeline Act for approval to construct and operate four pipelines and three pump stations.
 The Waupisoo Pipeline Project (Application No. 1460029) is proposed to transport crude oil from Enbridge Athabasca’s existing Cheecham Terminal located in Legal Subdivision (LSD) 6, Section 8, Township 84, Range 6, West of the 4th Meridian, to an Enbridge Athabasca lease adjacent to the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal located in LSD 7, Section 5, Township 53, Range 23, West of the 4th Meridian. The transportation would be powered by three pump stations located along the pipeline right-of-way at LSD 6, Section 8, Township 84, Range 6, West of the 4th Meridian (Cheecham pump station), LSD 12, Section 22, Township 68, Range 17, West of the 4th Meridian (Mid-Point pump station), and LSD 1, Section 9, Township 56, Range 21, West of the 4th Meridian (Bruderheim pump station located within the Stonefell Terminal). The proposed Waupisoo pipeline would be about 380 kilometres (km) in length, with an outside diameter (OD) of 762 millimetres (mm).

The Stonefell Pipelines Project (Application No. 1450418) are proposed to transport crude oil feedstock and upgraded crude oil product to and from BA Energy’s Heartland Upgrader Project. The proposed Stonefell/IPF Crude Oil Lateral would transport blended crude oil through a 7.5 km long, 610 mm OD pipeline from an interconnection with the IPF pipeline system at LSD 9, Section 6, Township 56, Range 20, West of the 4th Meridian, to the Stonefell Terminal at LSD 1, Section 9, Township 56, Range 21, West of the 4th Meridian. The proposed Stonefell/IPF Diluent Lateral would transport diluent through a 7.5 km, 324 mm OD pipeline from the Stonefell Terminal (1-9) to an interconnection with IPF (9-6). The proposed Stonefell/Edmonton pipeline would transport upgraded crude oil through a 46 km long, 610 mm OD pipeline from the Stonefell Terminal (1-9) to an Enbridge Athabasca lease adjacent to the Enbridge Edmonton Terminal at LSD 7, Section 5, Township 53, Range 23, West of the 4th Meridian. This pipeline would run parallel to the (approved) Access and (pending) Waupisoo pipeline rights-of-way. A portion would also be located within the Transportation and Utility Corridor (TUC).
