1 State of Minnesota Before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Beverly Jones Heydinger Phyllis Reha David Boyd J. Dennis O Brien Betsy Wergin Chair Vice Chair Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF NEED FOR THE LINE 67 STATION UPGRADE PROJECT IN THE COUNTIES OF MARSHALL, CLEARWATER, AND ITASCA, MINNESOTA DOCKET No. PL9/CN REPLY COMMENTS AND REVISED NOTICE PLAN PROPOSAL I. INTRODUCTION Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited liability partnership ( Enbridge ), submits this Revised Notice Plan as its reply comments in the abovecaptioned docket pursuant to Minnesota Rule This revised plan responds to and incorporates the comments of the Division of Energy Resources ( DER ), submitted on July 3, Enbridge s Line 67 Station Upgrade Project ( Project ) will provide the additional pipeline capacity necessary for Enbridge to meet its shippers transportation requirements in serving secure and reliable crude oil supplies to refineries and numerous marketing hubs throughout the Midwest and beyond. The Project will allow Enbridge to increase Line 67 s annual average capacity from 450,000 barrels per day ( bpd ) to 570,000 bpd, which is a 26.67% increase in capacity. No new land acquisition or pipeline construction will be required for the Project. The Project requires a certificate of need under Minn. R because it will expand the capacity of a large petroleum pipeline in excess of 20 percent of its rated capacity. A pipeline routing permit is not required because the Project only requires installation of additional pumping units and other modifications at the Viking, Clearbrook and Deer River Station sites in Marshall, Clearwater and Itasca Counties, respectively. This equipment is considered to be associated facilities under Minn. R , Subp. 7, so the Project is exempt from the pipeline routing permit requirement under Minn. R , Subp. 1.G. 1

2 II. REVISED NOTICE PLAN Enclosed as Attachment 1a is a revised overview map which shows general location of the existing Viking, Clearbrook and Deer River Station sites in Marshall, Clearwater and Itasca Counties, Minnesota. This revised map, as requested by the DER, also shows the eastern portion of Enbridge Pipeline (North Dakota) LLC s 1 North Dakota Mainline System as it extends from North Dakota to terminate at the Enbridge Clearbrook Station and Terminal Facility in Clearwater, Minnesota. No new land acquisition will be required and no landowners will be directly affected by the Line 67 Station Upgrade Project because all work activities will be performed at the existing station sites on land owned in fee by Enbridge. The proposed notice area is defined as the abutting properties located immediately adjacent to the three station sites where all Project work activities will be performed. That is the area reasonably likely to be affected by the Project. All three of the station sites are located in rural areas, and the abutting properties are shown on the related aerial maps listed on the table below. Name of Station Location County Map No. Viking Pump Station Section 28, T-155-N, Marshall Attachment 1b R-45-W Clearbrook Pump Station Sections 28, 29 & 33, Clearwater Attachment 1c and Terminal Facility T-149-N, R-37-W Deer River Pump Station Section 22, T-58N, R- 27-W Itasca Attachment 1d Enbridge submits this Revised Notice Plan to ensure that the notices are provided to interested parties. The components of the plan are: Revised Attachment 2 Direct mail notices to abutting residents with mailing addresses in the notice area. Revised Attachment 3 Direct mail notices to local, state and federal government officials Revised Attachment 4 General notice for publication in local and state-wide newspapers Revisions to the attachments are shown in underlined text. A. Direct Mail to Landowners Minnesota Rule , Subpart 3(A) requires Enbridge to provide direct mail notice to all landowners likely to be affected by the Project. As previously stated, the Project will be performed on land owned in fee by Enbridge. In addition, no new land acquisition or pipeline construction is required for the Project. No landowners will be directly impacted. Direct mail notice is therefore only required for those abutting property owners located immediately adjacent to the pump stations included in the Project. 1 Enbridge Pipelines (North Dakota) LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership. 2

3 The direct mail letter has been revised, as requested by the DER, to include a statement clarifying that registering to receive documents or notifications does not equate to being a full party in the certificate of need proceeding. B. Direct Mail to Mailing Address Minnesota Rule , Subpart 3(B) requires an applicant for a Certificate of Need under Chapter 7853 to provide direct mail notice (see Attachment 2) to all mailing addresses likely to be affected by the Project. Enbridge will rely on its immediate contacts with abutting property owners, county tax records or mailing lists available from the United States Post Office to create a list of mailing addresses for the defined Notice Area at the applicable station sites. The letter has also been revised to include a statement clarifying that registering to receive documents or notifications does not equate to being a full party in the certificate of need proceeding. C. Direct Mail to Local Governments. Minnesota Rule , Subpart 3(C) requires an applicant for a Certificate of Need under Chapter 7853 to provide direct mail notice to tribal governments and to the governments of towns, statutory cities, home rule charter cities, and counties whose jurisdictions are reasonably likely to be affected by the Project. The Project will not impact any tribal properties or areas of interest, thus no direct mail notice will be required for tribal governments. Direct mail notice (see Attachment 3) will be provided to the mayor, city council or town board chair, the clerks of Viking, Clearbrook, and Deer River, Minnesota, and Viking Township, Leon Township and Wildwood Township, Minnesota, county commissioners and auditors of Marshall, Clearwater, and Itasca Counties, state Senators and state Representatives and U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives representing constituents in the public notice area as summarized in Attachment 3a. The letter has been revised to include the same clarifying statement as the direct mail letters to be sent to landowners. The DER requested that Enbridge clarify the state legislators that represent the area where the Deer River station is located. The notice plan included the correct recipients since the station is on the border between two legislative districts. The station, located just east of the City of Deer River, is within Minnesota Senate District 3 and Minnesota House District 3B. The City of Deer River, however, is located in Minnesota Senate District 4 and Minnesota House District 4A. Enbridge believes this is a source of confusion, and has added elected officials from Districts 4 and 4a to the list of recipients included with Attachment 3. The DER also recommended that Enbridge include the governmental entities listed in Minn. R , subp. 6, which governs distribution of pipeline routing permit applications. While that rule does not apply to the Project because a pipeline routing permit is not required, Enbridge does not object to providing additional notice to development 3

4 agencies or watershed districts applicable to the three pump station locations. These entities have been added to the list of recipients. D. Published Notice Minnesota Rule , Subpart 3(D) requires an applicant for a Certificate of Need under Chapter 7853 to provide a published newspaper notice to members of the public in areas reasonably likely to be affected by the Project. The notice provided in Attachment 4, along with a black-and-white version of the Project map, will be published in the newspapers identified in Attachment 4a. The revised notice includes a statement clarifying that registering to receive documents or notifications does not equate to being a full party in the certificate of need proceeding. Enbridge will also publish the notice in the Duluth News Tribune, the Cass Lake Times (Cass Lake, MN), and the Pilot Independent (Walker, MN), as recommended by the DER. E. Content of Notice Enbridge does not propose any revisions to the content of the notice beyond those noted above. F. Notice Timing Minnesota Rule , Subpart 6, requires an applicant for a Certificate of Need to implement the Notice Plan within 30 days of its approval by the Commission. Enbridge still intends to implement the Notice Plan according to the timing contemplated by the rule. III. CONCLUSION Enbridge respectfully requests that the Commission approve its Notice Plan with the revisions discussed above.

Aller 1409 Hammond Avenue Manager, U.S. Lands & Right- of- Way Superior, WI Major Projects Month xx, 2012 RE: Notice of Certificate of Need Application for Line 67 Station Upgrade Project No New Right-of-Way or Pipeline Construction Required MN-PUC Docket No. PL9/CN Dear Resident: Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership ( Enbridge ) is proposing to expand the capacity of its Line 67 Pipeline as part of its ongoing efforts to meet North America s needs for reliable and secure transportation of petroleum energy supplies. The project, known as the Line 67 Station Upgrade Project ( Project ), will increase the annual average capacity of Line 67 from 450,000 barrels per day ( bpd ) to 570,000 bpd, providing Enbridge with the ability to deliver an incremental 120,000 barrels per day of secure and reliable crude oil supplies to refineries and numerous marketing hubs throughout the Midwest and beyond. Those refineries, in turn, supply the transportation fuels, heating oil, asphalt, jet fuel, petrochemicals and petrochemical feed stocks needed for our homes, industry, and transportation. The Project involves the installation of new pumping units, including all valves and appurtenances, and other minor station modification work at Enbridge s Viking, Clearbrook and Deer River Pump Station sites, which are located in Marshall, Clearwater and Itasca Counties, Minnesota. The Project will not require the acquisition of new land or require pipeline construction outside the pump stations. All work will be performed within the footprint of Enbridge s pump stations. A Project Overview Map is provided as Attachment 1a. Pending regulatory approval by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ( MPUC ), the Project would be in service by July 1, The additional capacity will help relieve capacity constraints on Enbridge s Mainline System and provide refineries access to secure and reliable crude oil supplies from western Canada, Montana and North Dakota, as supplies from these prolific production areas are continuing to rise.
