FOCUS AREA 2013 - 14 PLANNED ACTIVITIES

Environmental Excellence – Support and steward the EEP process to achieve environmental
ENVIRONMENT
excellence goals.
Plan (EEP)
– Plan and execute 2015 goal gap closure plan (focus on energy and air
goals) and strive to continue improvements in water and land goal areas.
– Develop next round of sustainability goals.

Water
– Achieve further reductions by designing more systems to treat and
recycle tailings water from operations.
– Reduce the net effect of water use in the oil sands region by sharing
lessons learned with industry peers through COSIA.
– Finish implementing Environmental Information Management System
(EIMS) water coniguration by end of 2013.

– Complete EIMS implementation for sustainability reporting in Q1 2014.

Land and biodiversity
– Develop and implement reclamation techniques through investment
in technology and people.

– Participate in COSIA Land Environmental Priority Area (EPA) projects
that address key issues of footprint reduction, reclamation acceleration
and biodiversity preservation.

Energy eficiency and – Energy Management System (EMS) implementation to be completed
greenhouse gas emissions
for extraction, energy utilities and upgrading at Oil Sands base plant.

– Gap assessment of oil sands facility GHG measurement and reporting
to meet anticipated higher regulatory stringency.
– Implement fuel gas equalization line at Commerce City reinery to
optimize energy balance.

Air
– Implement EIMS for sustainability reporting in Q1 2014.
– EIMS in sustainment state for all sites for air emissions.
– Invest in equipment and technology to achieve emissions reductions.

– Improve air emissions inventory.

– Progress the Renewable Energy Applications for our Cedar Point II and
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Adelaide wind power projects and secure approval to bring the projects

online in 2015.
– Review and develop renewable energy portfolio. This includes
progressing the Alberta Hand Hills application and evaluation of
ongoing renewable energy opportunities, including evaluation of a pilot
scale battery storage opportunity.
– Evaluate opportunities for improved product yields and eficiencies
at St. Clair ethanol plant.

– Work toward luid tailings reduction targets, and advance tailings
TAILINGS
management through collaboration with groups like COSIA.
