<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>1.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Enbridge has filed an Application for an Order Pursuant to Section 47 of the National Energy Board Act for Leave to Open Facilities Approved Pursuant
to NEB Order XO-E101-003-2014. This Leave to Open Application is for the Line 9B Reversal and Line 9 Capacity Expansion Project. So, it includes the Reversal portion of Line 9B, and the capacity expansion of the entire Line 9. Please note that the Line 9A
segment (Line 9 Reversal Phase I Project (Hearing # OH-005-2011)) is operating in reversed direction since January 2014 (see:
<a href="https://docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=894532&objAction=browse&viewType=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">
https://docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=894532&objAction=browse&viewType=1</a>). The current filing is the final Leave to Open Application so the Board will only grant leave if satisfied that the pipeline and facilities can be safely opened
and or capacity expanded. </span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>2.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The filing requirements for a Leave to Open Application are found in the
<a href="http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/bts/ctrg/gnnb/flngmnl/fmgdt-eng.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">Guide T</a> of the NEB’s Filing Manual. These are general filing requirements that provide guidance to companies as to the type of information the Board would typically need to make a decision.
The Board uses a risk-oriented approach to evaluate issues, considering the probability and consequences of potential issues, so general filing requirements may or may not be applicable or sufficient for all projects (for example, the leave to open for a previously
operating pipeline). </span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>3.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Enbridge has the right to prepare a Leave to Open Application that they believe is appropriate for their project. It is the responsibility of the
company to make its case before the Board. The Board will review the Leave to Open Application and the Board will only grant leave if satisfied that the entire pipeline can be safely opened for transmission.

</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">There is no formal public process associated with the Leave to Open Application. All of the correspondence related to the Leave to Open Application
is posted on the NEB’s Regulatory Documents Index (<a href="https://docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=2432299&objAction=browse&viewType=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" shape="rect">https://docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=2432299&objAction=browse&viewType=1</a>).

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>6.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Most conditions require proof (for example, a report or a plan) to be provided by the company that the condition has been achieved. The Board assesses
that proof and may require additional information from a company if the proof is not sufficient.
</span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>7.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Conditions that are filed with the Board “for approval” will get a response letter from the Board to the Company (with a copy on the public record)
either asking for additional information (refer to question #6) or indicating the Board’s approval of the submission. All submissions related to the Enbridge Line 9B Reversal and Line 9 Capacity Expansion Project can be found here:

https://docs.neb-one.gc.ca/ll-eng/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=2432299&objAction=browse&viewType=1</a>. Conditions that are filed with the Board that are not “for approval” will not get a response letter.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span>8.<span>
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If a condition is not met then the company cannot proceed to the “next stage”. For example, on the
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Enbridge Line 9B Reversal and Line 9 Capacity Expansion Project conditions 4 through 7 had to be met prior to construction, and
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">conditions 9 through 20 had to be met before Enbridge could request leave to open.

and then enforce regulatory requirements (if required) to obtain compliance, deter future non-compliance, and prevent harm by using the most appropriate tool or tools available</span><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 11pt;">.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></div>

<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you are interested in the topic of hydrotesting, I recommend that you look at the NEB’s Reasons for Decision (page 49):

<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Hydrotesting</span></b></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Board notes the recommendation of Équiterre, based on the Accufacts Report, and of other Participants to require Enbridge to conduct
hydrotesting of Line 9 prior to bringing the Project into service. However, the Board acknowledges Enbridge’s statement that there may be potential detrimental effects of hydrotesting the existing pipeline, including the potential to induce pressure reversal
and cracks, or to grow cracks that do not fail during the test but may continue to grow in-service after and potentially as a result of hydrotesting. In addition, in its Table 3, the Accufacts Report notes that when ILI technology is proven it can reveal more
about the condition of pipe than hydrotesting would, and that hydrotesting may not effectively identify some features, such as girth welds defects.
</span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">For these reasons, the Board elects to make no order at this time regarding hydrotesting of the pre-existing portions of Line 9. However,
the Board has imposed <b>Condition 11 </b>which requires Enbridge to provide its overall hydrotesting program in order for the Board to further understand Enbridge’s corporate approach to hydrotesting. After receiving the Updated EA and Enbridge’s filings
in respect of completed repairs and ILI tool reliability, and after considering Enbridge’s corporate policies and approach with respect to hydrotesting, the Board may revisit the issue of requiring hydrotesting prior to granting LTO.</span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Board denies Enbridge’s request for an exemption from section 47 of the NEB Act. Enbridge must apply for LTO with hydrotesting
results for new facilities before it can bring the Project into service. As explained above, the Board will consider Enbridge’s response to
<b>Conditions 9, 10 and 11</b>, to determine whether it ought to require Enbridge to perform hydrotesting on existing portions of Line 9. The Board has also imposed a number of additional conditions with which Enbridge must comply prior to applying for LTO.</span></div>

<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal">I hope that you are doing well and that you are enjoying a nice summer in Ontario. I would first of all like to extend another offer to you to talk to you over the phone about your concerns. As a Process Advisor, I am able to talk to you
about the different NEB processes and the options that you have to participate in these different processes. I believe that if we have a general discussion about the NEB’s post-decision processes, this will allow you to identify any specific outstanding concerns.
And of course, I would be more than happy to help you submit your specific outstanding concerns to the NEB in such a manner that you will be provided with a written response.</div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv2080968732MsoNormal">Many of your concerns are related to compliance verification activities and enforcement actions. In order to provide you with a written response (as you have insisted), here is my best attempt to provide you with the relevant information.</div>

regulations, standards adopted into regulation, directives and orders of the Board, and conditions of certificates and orders. The Board uses CVAs to verify that all known non-compliances have been corrected and to gather new information about the state of
compliance in a specific area of a company’s operations or to investigate whether the NEB’s regulated companies are taking the appropriate preventive or corrective actions. The Board’s suite of CVAs includes:</span></div>

in further NEB sanction, such as suspension of operation. The NEB publishes enforcement documents on its website.
