  • Minister of the Environment Ministre de I'Environnement Ottawa, Canada K1 A OH3 JUL 0 4 2013 Mr. Brad McManus Acting Chairman Energy Resources Conservation Board 250 5 Street SW, Suite 1000 Calgary AB T2P OR4 Dear Mr. McManus: Thank you for your letter of June 12, 2013, concerning the coming into force of the Alberta Responsible Energy Development Act (the Act) and the associated implications for the ongoing panel review of the proposed Jackpine Mine Expansion Project. I understand that, as outlined in your letter, under the terms of the Act and its Transition Regulation, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) will replace the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and will assume all of the ERCB's powers, duties and functions under Alberta's energy resource enactments, which includes the Joint Review Panel Agreement (the Agreement) for the proposed project. As a signatory to the Agreement for the proposed project, I agree with the AER assuming the ERCB's position and responsibilities under this agreement, and that the previously appointed members of the Joint Review Panel (the Panel) , Mr. Jim Dilay, Mr. Alex Bolton and Mr. Les Cooke, shall continue to conduct the work of the Panel. I will consider any changes to the Pierre River Mine Project Joint Review Panel Agreement that may be required following the conclusions of the discussions on the recently enacted AER Rules of Practice.

The Agency will hold its hearing on October 29. The letter describes how tar sands operations are harming at least 130 migratory bird species, including endangered whooping cranes, as well as threatened woodland caribou herds. The letter also highlights shocking data from a recent report, produced by Shell, which determined there will be severe impacts on wildlife habitat if tar sands operations expand as planned in the region. It’s critical that the Canadian government consider that Shell itself recently concluded that if the Shell Jackpine Mine Expansion project and other proposed projects are approved, woodland caribou would lose a staggering 47 percent of their high quality ...

Box 15 9915 Franklin Avenue Fort McMurray, AB T9K 2K4 October 1, 2012 Re: Comments on the Shell Canada Jackpine Mine expansion project Reference number: 59540 Dear Sir/Madam: Due to the considerable adverse environmental impacts of this proposal, we are asking that the Joint Review Panel reject the proposed Jackpine Mine expansion project. Canadians cannot afford to lock into major damage to our water, land and climate from further expansion of tar sands development. Furthermore, given the constructional challenge brought forward by the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, we are concerned that Joint Review Panel process may not be the appropriate place to adequately address constitutional and treaty responsibilities for Aboriginal peoples. According to documents released by Shell, the expansion project would exceed the hard limits set on air pollution by the province just months ago. Shell’s own accounting shows that annual levels of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide will exceed firm limits set by the province's Lower Athabasca Regional Plani. These limits were only recently put in place to prevent severe impacts from air pollution and acid rain in the region. It is unacceptable that a project aiming to exceed these levels could achieve approval. Federal Departments have also expressed ongoing concern at the scale of impacts from this development. Environment Canada has raised concerns that Shell has inadequately assessed the impact of the project on wildlife habitat. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is seeking to understand how impacts on fish ...

  •   September 30, 2012    Dear Panel Members    Please consider these few comments regarding the proposed expansion of Shell Oil’s Jackpine and  Muskeg River projects.  In July 2012, Minister Kent announced a commitment to “…a scientifically rigorous, comprehensive,  integrated, and transparent environmental monitoring program…” for the northern Alberta. This was in  direct response to criticisms by several different review panels on the lack of appropriate monitoring of  oil sands extractive activities.  It is therefore perplexing how another project/expansion is being  considered given that this monitoring program is not yet implemented.  Further, even if the monitoring  program were fully implemented as of today, the data required to determine the impacts of current  projects would still need to be collected before approving more development.  In my opinion, there  should be no further development until the rate of development is at least equivalent to the rate of  habitat restoration. In addition, there should be no further projects approved until alternate way of  dealing with tailing ponds is realized.  If neither of these issues are immediately addressed, Alberta’s,  indeed Canada’s lasting legacy will be one of an environmental contamination disaster.  Consider this your opportunity to do something that has never been done, one which would be a  significant contribution towards the betterment of Canadian society: reject this application.    Kind Regards,  Dr. Gail Fraser  Associate Professor  Faculty of Environmental Studies  York University  Toronto ON M3J 1P3

  • I think that the proposal (reference number: 59540) by Shell Canada Limited to expand the Jackpine Mine project should be rejected. The proposal should be rejected because expansion will lead to a dangerous and unacceptable amount of pollution to the bio-physical and human environments. There are a number of site specific environmental impacts that will be adverse to the point of being considered unacceptable. Shell Canada Limited has stated that it estimates that 40% of high quality caribou habitat will be destroyed (The Canadian Press, 2012). Scientists at both Environment Canada and Ocean and Fisheries Canada have stated that Shell Canada Limited has not adequately demonstrated how toxins will be kept in tailing ponds (The Canadian Press, 2012). Shell Canada Limited has not released any scientifically sound and accepted studies to show that their proposed tailings ponds will keep toxins from polluting the surrounding bio-physical and human environments. Of a general concern is the seeming lack of credibility to many of Shell Canada Limited’s statements. The proposal that Shell Canada Limited has submitted is not supported by scientifically sound studies or information. Federal scientists have expressed concern that Shell Canada Limited does not seem to understand the potential cumulative effects of its proposed development (The Canadian Press, 2012). Shell Canada Limited’s proposal should not only be rejected because of unacceptable levels of site specific pollution. The pollution emitted if this expansion is approved will have dire national and global impacts. Approving this project will lead to significant increases in Carbon Dioxide emission which has been identified as the leading ...

Shell's Jackpine Expansion Proposal Dear Joint Review Panel Secretariat, I write to express concern about Shell Canada Limited’s proposal to expand its Jackpine Mine Project and to recommend that the Joint Review Panel strongly advise the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta to reject this proposal. I base this recommendation on the research I have conducted since 2006 on unconventional oil development in Alberta. This work is focused on the provincial and federal environmental regulatory system surrounding the tar sands projects in Northern Alberta as well as on the political and economic pressures, risks, and benefits of the industry. Through this research, I have visited project sites several times and interviewed numerous key stakeholders, from industry officials and government representatives, to non-government organization representatives and First Nations community members living close to the development sites. Based on this research, I am aware that the environmental impacts of the tar sands projects are extremely negative. This is due to the industry’s contamination of water, land, and air, emissions contributing to climate change, destruction or fragmentation of habitat threatening species that are already at risk, and wasteful use of water resources in a drought-prone province. The regulatory system intended to prevent or mitigate these outcomes is broken. As I document in my work, there are important regulatory gaps and inadequacies surrounding tar sands developments. For example, due to current lax policies carbon ...

Further destruction of 12,000 Ha of our boreal forest cannot be justified by the monetary return from producing more than a 5% increase in co2 emissions. Global warming and climate change is a fact that cannot be denied. It must dealt with now to save the world's future and this expansion is clearly the wrong thing to allow.
