APPENDIX B1: AIR QUALITY MODELLING APPROACH

1.0 MODELLING METHODOLOGY

The CALPUFF modelling system, which includes the CALMET meteorological pre-processor and other utilities, was used in this air quality assessment. CALPUFF (Scire et al. 2003 and Scire and Escoffier-Czaja. 2004) is recommended by AENV for refined air quality assessments (AENV 2009).

1.1 The CALPUFF Model

CALPUFF is currently considered the state-of-the-art in regulatory modelling, and represents a major improvement over previous models for the following reasons:

• it is applicable over spatial scales from a few meters to hundreds of kilometres, allowing the modelling of both local and regional air impacts;

• it incorporates the BPIP-PRIME downwash algorithm found in other advanced models used to predict building downwash in the vicinity of emission sources;

• it can model wet and dry removal processes (deposition); • it has algorithms to simulate SO2 and NOx chemistry for secondary particulate formation

and for predicting acidification; • it models dispersion in three dimensions, allowing for more realistic plume movement; • it allows winds to vary in space in response to channelling and blocking by terrain,

removing a constraint in older models; • it can model dispersion in calm winds, another major shortcoming of older models; and • it has been widely used for research and has thus undergone extensive peer review. Additional features of the CALPUFF model are provided in Table B1-1.

1.2 The CALMET Preprocessor

Improvements in modelling introduced by CALPUFF call for significantly more meteorological data than its predecessors, which required no more than data from a single meteorological station. CALPUFF makes use of three-dimensional meteorological data prepared by an equally sophisticated companion program called CALMET. CALMET generates three-dimensional fields of winds and other meteorological data by first interpolating between surface stations and upper air soundings. CALMET then adjusts this interpolated wind field to be physically consistent with the channelling and blocking posed by the terrain. It performs this adjustment such that atmospheric stability can enhance or suppress vertical motion. Although CALMET is not a prediction model, it can generate a continuous and realistic historical record of three-dimensional flow even with sparse observations. In addition, from these raw weather observations CALMET can calculate of other parameters required in predicting pollution dispersion, such as surface friction velocity, convective velocity scale, Monin-Obukhov length, mixing height, and Pasquill-Gifford stability class. The CALMET modelling domain used in this study is 235 km long west to east and 485 km long north to south. The UTM coordinates (NAD 83, Zone 12) for the modelling domain ranges from 375.0 km to 610.0 km easting, and 6,080.0 m to 6,565.0 m northing. This domain was selected to contain not only the project, but also the major sources in region. Horizontal grid cells 2 km X 2 km in size were adopted for the modelling to allow sufficient resolution of major terrain feature influences on wind flow. Along the vertical, eight layers were assigned to represent the atmospheric boundary layer. Over flat terrain, these layers would be found at 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 600, 1400 and 2 600 m above the surface. The 2002-2006 MM5 regional meteorological dataset provided by Alberta Environment served as the raw data used in CALMET. In addition, data from five surface meteorological stations were processed by CALMET. These stations were chosen to provide detail on the flow along the Athabasca Valley, which is a major topographic feature of the region. Sample output of the mean wind flow in the region are presented for two representative months (January and July 2002) in Figures B1-1 and B1-2. Tables B1-2 to B1-5 outline the options selected for use in CALMET preprocessing for various meteorological conditions.

1.2.1 Upper Air Data

CALMET typically requires upper air soundings as input to generate a three-dimensional wind field. For the present study, no upper stations were necessary as the five–year MM5 data from the Alberta Environment were used as the initial guess wind field in CALMET.

1.2.2 Surface Data

In view of the coarse (12 km) resolution of the MM5 database, data from five surface stations in the domain were also included in the raw input to CALMET for processing. Four of these (Fort Chipewyan, Fort McKay, Patricia McInnes, and Mannix) are operated by the WBEA, while the fifth (Fort McMurray Airport) is a synoptic weather station. The inclusion of these stations improves CALMET’s results by providing additional detail on the flow at various parts of the domain. Table B1-6 presents their locations.

1.2.3 The Fifth Generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5)

MM5 refers to the fifth generation NCAR/Penn State Mesoscale Model (MM5) developed jointly by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU). It is a first-principles weather forecasting model capable of simulating meteorological processes, including the conservation of momentum, energy and mass (of air and moisture) and phase changes of water. The MM5 model is a widely used tool in such applications as tropical cyclone forecasting to climate downscaling. CALMET is designed to take MM5 model output through the CALMM5 utility. In many CALPUFF applications in western Canada (BC Environment 2000; SE2 2000 and 2001), MM5 model output was used exclusively as input.

1.2.4 Land Use Categories (LUC)

Land use data required by CALMET was taken from circa-2000 land cover map (Olthof et al. 2000) as a TIFF image with a 1km resolution. From this image file, grid values for CALMET were drawn from the most common land cover classification found in the grid cell. From the grid-averaged land use category, default values of the surface characteristics using the CALPUFF utility MAKEGEO were then generated. These parameters include the following:

• leaf area index; • roughness length; • anthropogenic heat flux; • bowen ratio; and • albedo. Values of these parameters corresponding to a land cover type are shown in Table B1-7.

1.2.5 Terrain

Topographic elevations for the terrain were obtained from the SRTM (3 Arc Second – 90 m), which is a joint project between the National Geo-spatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (Jarvis et al. 2008). The TERREL program was used to extract and format terrain data for input into CALMET.

2.0 DISPERSION MODELLING APPROACH

2.1 Dispersion Modelling Assessment Assumptions

Key assumptions designed to simplify the modelling procedure while increasing the likelihood of overestimating actual concentrations were made where appropriate. These assumptions include:

• all facility sources were simultaneously operating on a continuous basis at maximum capacity;

• all activities, such as road traffic and fugitive emissions, emit at their maximum levels.

2.2 Building Downwash

Building downwash was incorporated using the BPIP-PRIME program. Downwash was however applied only for the project in absence of building data for the other sources.

2.3 Chemistry

The chemistry module was used in the prediction of deposition and secondary particulate formation. Assumed gas and particulate matter properties are shown in Tables B1-8 to B1-10, based on default values used in CALPUFF.

2.4 Recompiling CALPUFF

To ensure the correctness of the concentration-dependent reaction rates used in the CALPUFF chemistry module, all sources were modelled in one run. This called for recompiling CALPUFF to allow the more than 800 point sources to be included in the input files. In addition, the maximum number of puffs was increased to 200,000 (twice the default maximum of 99,000). This higher number was found to be more than sufficient to model all the emissions in the domain without causing error. These changes were made by modifying the PARAMSL.PUF file and recompiling using a Lahey F90 compiler. No changes were made to the CALPUFF model code itself.

2.5 Receptors

Receptors where ambient concentration and deposition rates were predicted were selected based on guidance in AENV (2009). Receptor spacing was based on the following criteria:

• 20 m spacing from the project fence line up to a distance of 200 m; • 50 m spacing between 200 m to 500 m from the fence line; • 250 m spacing between 500 m to 2 km; • 500 m spacing between 2 km to 5 km; and • 1 000 m spacing between 5 to 20 km. Beyond 10 km, a coarser grid spacing was used to allow the model to complete the simulation within a reasonable period but retaining focus on modelling the maximum impacts from the project. The following criteria was used in addition to the AENV guidelines:

• 2 500 m spacing between 20 km to 50 km from the fence line; • 5 000 m spacing between 50 km to 100 km; and • 10 km spacing in the rest of the domain. Receptors that fell inside area and volume sources or were within 20 m of a stack were removed as unrepresentative. In all there were 7795 discrete receptors, including 82 selected to represent human health exposure and ecological impact. A map of receptors is presented in Figure B1-3.

2.6 CALPUFF Model Options

The CALPUFF control file defines 17 input groups as identified in Table B1-11.

As stated earlier, the chemistry option was applied for the prediction of wet and dry acid deposition. This required the inclusion the of nine species in a single run: SO2, SO4, NO, NO2, HNO3, NO3, CO, primary PM2.5 and PM10. Another set of runs was used to model VOCs and NOx concentrations as conservative pollutants (no chemistry). From NOx, NO2 concentrations were calculated using the ozone-limiting method described in the AENV modelling guidelines. Speciated VOC and PAH emissions were determined by the methods discussed in Section 4.5 and Appendix B4. The CALPUFF input parameters were selected according to the default values, however some parameters were altered to better relate specifically to the modelling domain. Tables B1-12 to B1-21 identify the input parameters, default options, and values used for the current project.

2.7 NOX to NO2 Conversion

The 2009 AENV modelling guidelines recommend a tiered approach in modelling the conversion of NOx to NO2. In this tiered approach, the ozone limiting method (OLM) is suggested if modelling NOx as a conservative pollutant yields unrealistic results. As its term implies, the OLM is based on the fact that the amount of NO2 that can be converted from NOx is dependent on the available ozone. Ozone provides the oxygen needed for this conversion. OLM is expressed as follows:

If [O3] > 0.9 × [NOx] then [NO2] = [NOx] otherwise [NO2] = [O3] + 0.1 × [NOx]

In this expression, terms in brackets refer to ambient concentrations.

The conversion was applied to the maximum NOx concentrations at each receptor predicted by CALPUFF. As suggested by 2009 AENV modelling guidelines, three different background values were used for background ozone, namely:

• 0.05 ppm (98 μg/m³) for converting 1-hour average NOX concentrations to NO2; • 0.035 ppm (69 μg/m³) for 24-hour average concentrations; and • 0.02 ppm (39 μg/m³) for annual average concentrations.

2.8 Background Levels of Acid-Forming Compounds

The deposition of acid-forming compounds takes place through wet and dry processes that can result in adverse long-term effects on aquatic and terrestrial environments. The wet process involves rain and snowfall, while the dry process involves the removal of the compounds

through contact with surfaces such as vegetation. At the same time, the presence of neutralizing compounds can mitigate acidification. The net impact is modeled as potential acid input or PAI. PAI incorporates the following:

• the effects of nitrogen and sulphur species; • effects of dry and wet deposition mechanisms; and • effects of base cations in mitigating acidity. The calculation of PAI is based on the wet and dry deposition of sulphur species (e.g., SO2 gas, SO4

2- particle), nitrogen species (e.g., NO2 gas, NO gas, HNO3 gas, NO3- particle), and base

cations (e.g., Ca2+ particle, Mg+ particle and K+ particle). PAI is expressed in keq/ha/yr, where keq refers to the number of equivalent hydrogen ions (1 keq = 1 kmol H+) deposited on the surface through both natural and anthropogenic processes. PAI is therefore highly variable in space, but since surface processes such as runoff and aquatic flow can redistribute the deposited material, quantifying its impact requires determining the sizes of areas receiving critical loads set by CASA and AENV (1999). A background deposition rate of 0.10 keq/ha/yr for cations and a regional PAI background of 0.11 keq/ha/yr was used based on ambient monitoring in the region.

3.0 MODELLING NON-POINT SOURCES

While stack emissions are straightforward to model, other sources require some representation or parameterization in order to be modelled. This section describes how mines, stockpiles, material handling, urban areas, and highways were treated in CALPUFF. 3.1 Area Sources Fugitive emissions such as windblown dust, heavy equipment exhausts and emissions from urban areas were treated as area sources. Emissions from existing operating facilities in the AQRSA were obtained from facility operators and previously submitted EIA. The coordinates of the corners of the sources were obtained and the sources are represented as polygons. The CALPUFF model requires initial vertical dispersion (σz) and release height to model area sources. Mines, stockpiles, tailings ponds and cities were assumed to be area sources with a characteristic depth of 10 m. This depth yields a release height of 5 m (its vertical midpoint) and an initial vertical dispersion parameter of 4.3 m following the Gaussian approximation that 95 percent of the material will be found within 1/2.15 of this depth. This release height was deemed typical of the elevations of pipes and valves, and approximates the height of urban structures. For open pit mines, this value ignores the partial retention of particulates caused by the mine walls.

3.2 Highways

The highway emissions were modelled as line sources with an effective emission height of 2.0 m. All four major highways in the domain were modelled.

APPENDIX B2: EMISSION SOURCES INFORMATION – CRITERIA AIR CONTAMINANTS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This appendix lists the emission source characteristics and emission rate details of the Criteria Air Contaminants, including SO2, NOx, CO, PM2.5 and total VOCs within the AQRSA. The air quality impacts as a result of emissions of SO2, NOx, CO and PM2.5 are assessed and provided in the main report (Volume 2, Section 4), while a fraction of the species that comprise the VOC emissions (Appendix B4) are modeled as part of the human health risk assessment. The facility and planned emission information was obtained from direct contact with regional operators or proponents, and from recent EIA. The facility and planned emissions within the AQRSA that were included in the baseline, project and planned development (Planned) emission scenarios of this air quality assessment are presented on a company-by-company basis. Background emission sources for the project emission scenario were considered to be the same as those for the Baseline scenario. Most of the documented emission sources fall into the following three general categories:

• Fully integrated oil sands mining, bitumen extraction and bitumen upgrading facilities. The facilities primary fuel type is a combination of processed (pipeline spec) natural gas and desulphurized “refinery-type” fuel gas (containing negligible H2S) in gas turbine/heat recovery steam generators/electricity co-generation facilities and additional steam boilers/generators and heaters. The major SO2 emission source for these types of facilities is the sulphur recovery facility, which is part of the processing plant facility. SO2 emissions from the mining fleet equipment are considered to be a minor contributor to the facility total since low-sulphur diesel fuel or low-sulphur synthetic diesel produced on site is utilized in internal combustion engines. In regards to NOx emissions, NOx from processing plant facilities (combustion sources) and the mining fleet (internal combustion engines) are considered equally significant.

• SAGD operations, primarily using processed natural gas fuel (containing negligible H2S) and small quantities of produced gas (containing some H2S) in steam boilers/generators and heaters. For this type of industrial development, the only significant major SO2 and NOx emission sources are the steam boilers/generators. Compared to integrated mining and bitumen extraction/upgrading facilities, SAGD facilities emit less SO2 and NOx on a bitumen production basis.

• Oil sands mining and bitumen extraction facilities using predominantly processed natural gas fuel (containing negligible H2S) in gas turbine/heat recovery steam generators/ electricity co-generation facilities and “supplemental” steam boilers/generators and heaters. In comparison to the other two types of facilities mentioned above, these facilities emit predominantly NOx, with emissions apportioned more or less equally between those from the processing plant facilities (combustion sources) and those from the mining fleet (internal combustion engines). SO2 emissions from the mining fleet are considered minor since the mining fleet equipment uses low-sulphur diesel fuel.

This appendix also presents the estimated emissions from a number of communities and highways, as well as a summary of small gas production and processing facilities in the region. All of the listed facilities and projects are located within the AQRSA and have been selected for inclusion in the air quality assessment.

2.0 INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES

2.1 Albian Sands Energy Inc.

Albian Sands Energy Inc. (Albian Sands) was established as a joint venture between Shell Canada (60%), Marathon Oil Corp. (20%), and Chevron Canada Resources (20%) to develop and operate the Muskeg River Mine.

Emissions Included in Baseline, Project and Planned Development Scenarios The Muskeg River Mine is located 75 km north of Fort McMurray and east of the Athabasca River. First bitumen production started in December 2002 and full production is expected to yield 155 000 b/d. Combustion emissions result mainly from the mine fleet (trucks and shovels) exhausts and fugitive emissions are largely attributed to the mine surfaces and tailings pond. Albian Sands received the approval for the Muskeg River Mine Expansion on December 2006. It will be located on the west side of the Muskeg River. Expansion of Muskeg River Mine (Phase 2, or Shark Bite Project) is planned to raise total production to approximately 255 000 b/d of bitumen by 2010.

ATCO Power Ltd.

ATCO Power operates the Muskeg River Phase 1 power (cogeneration) and steam boiler facilities. The facility received approval in February 2000 and commenced operation in conjunction with the start-up of the Muskeg River Mine in 2002. The facility has not changed from what was approved for Muskeg River Phase 1 and is included with the Albian Sands sources in Table B2-1. Emissions originate from co-generation units, boilers, and heaters and this energy is primarily used for extraction and operation of the Muskeg River Mine facility with excess power provided to the Alberta electrical grid. Table B2-1 provides a summary of the emissions for Albian Sands and ATCO Power that were included in the baseline, project and planned development scenarios. ATCO Power emissions are only used for the Baseline and project scenarios.

2.2 Birch Mountain Resources

Emissions Included in the Baseline and Project Scenarios Birch Mountain Resources has received regulatory approval to operate an open pit limestone quarry, the Muskeg Valley Quarry, approximately 5 km east of Fort McKay and immediately south of the Muskeg River Mine. Table B2-2 presents a summary of the emissions included in the baseline and project scenarios.

Emissions Included in the Planned Development Scenario Birch Mountain also has planned the Hammerstone Project which will be the successor to the Muskeg Valley Quarry. The project will include lime producing facilities with hydrated lime and milk of lime plants, as well as a cement plant and a facility to receive and regenerate spent lime produced in oil sands water treatment. Table B2-3 presents a summary of the emissions included in the Planned Development scenario.

2.3 Canadian Natural Resources Limited

Emissions Included In the Baseline and Project Scenarios Canadian Natural Resources Limited operates the Horizon Oil Sands Project and the Kirby SAGD Project. The Horizon Project includes an oil sands mine, bitumen extraction plant, a bitumen upgrader, and associated facilities. The site is located 30 km north of Fort McKay on the west side of the Athabasca River, immediately north of the Joslyn lease. The Horizon Project is planned in three phases with the initial production starting in 2008 and increasing to full production of 232 000 b/d by approximately 2012. The Kirby project is a 20 000 b/d SAGD facility located in the Christina Lake area. Table B2-4 is a summary of the emissions that were included in the baseline and project scenarios.

Emissions Included In the Baseline and Project Scenarios Planned Development case emissions for Horizon included the planned Horizon SAGD project. The emissions from Kirby are unchanged. Table B2-5 is a summary of the emissions that were included in the Planned Development scenario.

2.4 Connacher Oil and Gas Limited

Emissions Included In the Baseline and Project Scenarios Connacher has received the approval to develop the Great Divide SAGD Project which is located 80 km southwest of Fort McMurray. The Great Divide Project is designed for a bitumen production rate of 10 000 b/d for approximately 25 years. First production began in 2007. Table B2-6 is a summary of the emissions that were included in the baseline and project Scenarios.

Emissions Included In the Planned Development Scenario Connacher has filed for regulatory approval for its Algar Project, which represents the second stage of their Great Divide development. Similar to the project underway, Algar is a 10 000 bpd in-situ project. Table B2-7 is a summary of the emissions that were included in the Planned Development scenario.

2.5 ConocoPhillips Canada Resources Corporation

Emissions Included In the Baseline and Project Scenarios ConocoPhillips currently operates the Surmont pilot SAGD facility approximately 60 km southeast of Fort McMurray. This facility has been operating since July 2001. The Surmont pilot production capacity is approximately 2 000 b/d. ConocoPhillips has received regulatory approval for the 100 000 b/d Surmont SAGD Project which was designed in stages. The 25 000 b/d Phase 1 (of four initially contemplated phases) has been constructed and first steam began in 2006. Table B2-8 provides a summary of emissions from the existing and approved ConocoPhillips facilities included in the baseline and project scenarios.

Emissions Included in the Planned Development Scenario The Planned Development case emissions reflect the planned expansion of the Surmont facility by 75 000 b/d. Table B2-9 provides a summary of emissions from the existing, approved and proposed ConocoPhillips facilities included in the Planned Development scenario.

Emissions Included in the Planned Development Scenario Suncor has numerous emission sources at its base upgrader plant, reported on a source-grouping basis. In addition, Suncor operates the Firebag In-situ Project.

• Project Millennium Emissions – The Millennium oil sands expansion is operational and the targeted plant production is 225 000 b/d. The primary emission point sources at the upgrader base facility are the Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) stack, the main stack, the powerhouse stack and numerous secondary stacks.

• Voyageur Emissions – Suncor received the regulatory approval for Voyageur in October 2006. Voyageur is an expansion of Suncor’s oil sands mining and in-situ developments.

• Firebag Emissions – The Firebag In-situ Project is located approximately 40 km northeast of Suncor’s existing upgrader base plant. The first phase of Firebag and expanded upgrader are expected to bring Suncor's production capacity to 260 000 b/d in 2005.

Table B2-30 provides a summary of Suncor emissions included in the baseline and project scenarios.

Emissions Included in the Planned Development Scenario Phase 4 through 6 of the Voyager project have been announced but not yet approved so are included in the Planned Development scenario. Table B2-31 provides a summary of Suncor emissions included in the Planned Development scenario.

2.19 Syncrude Canada Ltd.

Emissions Included in the Baseline, Project and Planned Development Scenarios The Syncrude Canada Ltd. industrial activities include the following approved facilities: the expanded Mildred Lake Upgrader facility (including the North Mine), the Aurora North Mine and the Aurora South Mine. The Mildred Lake facility will produce approximately 480 000 b/d of synthetic crude oil. The North Mine production is about 160 000 b/d of bitumen. The Aurora North Mine target production is approximately 215 000 b/d of bitumen. The Aurora North facility is located 35 km northeast of the Mildred Lake facility. The Aurora South Mine will be located east of the Albian Sands Lease 13, and immediately to the west of the Husky Sunrise Project. The Aurora South Mine production capacity is expected to be 215 000 b/d of bitumen. In November 2004, Syncrude received regulatory approval for the Syncrude Emissions Reduction (SER) Project at the Mildred Lake facility. The project involves the retrofit of a flue gas scrubbing system into the operation of Syncrude’s two existing cokers. In combination with sulphur dioxide emission reduction technology also being incorporated into a third coker now under construction, the project will reduce stack emissions of SO2 by 60% from current approved levels of 245 t/d. The reduction will be gradually achieved over the course of a two-year period after start-up in 2009. A 50% reduction in emissions of PM2.5 will also be achieved. The main point emission sources at the Mildred Lake Plant are the Main Stack, FGD stack and numerous secondary stacks. Area emission sources include the mine fleets, mine faces, and tailings disposal areas and ponds. Table B2-32 provides a summary of emissions from existing and approved Syncrude facilities that were included in the baseline, project and planned development scenarios on a facility and a source-grouping basis.

APPENDIX B3: AIR QUALITY AND METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS IN THE REGIONAL STUDY AREA

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Objectives

The following section provides a summary of baseline information on air quality for the project. This information forms the basis of comparison for the environmental impact assessment and cumulative environmental impact assessment to be completed as part of the project approval process. The baseline information is derived from representative monitoring programs in the region. The project will result in direct emissions to the atmosphere from fossil fuel combustion sources, as well as fugitive emissions (from a small amount of vehicle traffic and potentially from equipment leaks). While primary combustion products are CO2 and H2O, oxides of NOx, particulate matter with diameter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5), CO and VOCs are also produced. In addition, if the fuel contains sulphur compounds (such as H2S), then trace amounts of SO2 emissions can occur. At sufficiently high concentrations, these air emissions can have direct and indirect effects on humans, animals, vegetation, soil and water. The information presented in this air quality baseline section reflects the current understanding of baseline conditions and is based on information available as of the end of 2008.

1.2 Air Quality, Meteorology and Climate Data Sources

The data consisted of hourly observations of meteorology and ambient air quality. This information was quality-checked and has been summarized in this report. The following are the major sources of air quality information used in the preparation of this document:

• The current regional data for air quality are available from CASA. Table B3-1 provides the locations of the air quality stations and the type of measurements made at each station. For the current study, five years of data from thirteen stations operated by WBEA has been assessed. This information was obtained from the CASA data warehouse (CASA 2009).

• The current regional data for meteorology are available from CASA. For the current study, meteorological data from the various air quality stations were obtained from the Environment Canada Website (EC 2009).

• The full meteorology data recorded at Fort McMurray airport, Fort Chipewyan, Patricia McInnes, Fort McKay and Mannix were used for modelling. Precipitation data, which is required for deposition modelling, was obtained from Environment Canada.

• MM5 model output data were used as a first guess wind field for dispersion modelling. Model output for 2002-2006 was obtained from AENV.

• The air quality observations can be compared to Alberta’s Ambient Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines (AENV 2009), which summarizes AENV limits for selected contaminants in Table B3-2.

1.3 Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Results

1.3.1 Sulphur Dioxide

Table B3-3 summarizes measured SO2 concentrations at selected stations during the 2004 to 2008 observational period. Exceedences of the AAAQO at individual WBEA monitoring stations are illustrated in Figure B3-1. Seasonal fluctuations in SO2 concentration based on 1-h measurements are shown in Figure B3-2, while diurnal trends are presented in Figure B3-3. Ambient SO2 is measured at the following WBEA air quality stations: Albian Mine, Anzac, Athabasca Valley, Buffalo Viewpoint, Fort Chipewyan, Fort McKay, Horizon, Lower Camp, Mannix, Mildred Lake, Millennium, Patricia McInnes and Syncrude UE1. The results indicate that:

• There were 37 exceedences of the AAAQO. These occurred at Buffalo Viewpoint, Fort McKay, Lower Camp, Mannix, Mildred Lake, Millennium and Syncrude UE1. The Mannix station showed the largest number of hourly and daily exceedences of the SO2 AAAQOs of all stations in the WBEA.

• The highest 1-h maximum SO2 concentration (1,847 µg/m3) was observed at the Mannix station. Other highest values included: Buffalo Viewpoint (658 µg/m3), Fort McKay (482 µg/m3), Lower Camp (587 µg/m3), Mildred Lake (626 µg/m3), Millennium (555 µg/m3) and Syncrude UE1 (765 µg/m3).

• All the 1-h 99.9th and 95th percentile values were below the AAAQO (450 µg/m3). See Table B3-3.

• The highest daily SO2 concentration (309 µg/m3) was observed at Mannix which exceeded the AENV 24-h objective (150 µg/m3).

• The period average SO2 concentrations recorded at the 12 stations ranged from 0.8 µg/m3 to 8.0 µg/m3, which are all below the annual AAAQO of 30 µg/m3.

• SO2 concentrations showed characteristic diurnal variations at all stations with peak concentrations in the afternoon and minimums after midnight.

• The Fort Chipewyan station had many hourly SO2 observations below the detection threshold.

1.3.2 Nitrogen Dioxide

Table B3-4 summarizes the measured NO2 concentrations at selected stations for the 2004 to 2008 observational period. Ambient NO2 is measured at the following stations: Albian Mine, Anzac, Athabasca Valley, Fort Chipewyan, Fort McKay, Horizon, Millennium, Patricia McInnes and Syncrude UE1. The results indicate that:

• There was one exceedence of the hourly NO2 at the Albian Mine site (427 µg/m3). No other readings were within 94% of the AAAQO (400 µg/m3)

• The highest 99.9th and 95th percentile hourly average NO2 values were 154 µg/m3 (Albian Mine) and 70 µg/m3 (Millenium).

• There were no exceedences of the daily AAAQO for NO2 (200 µg/m3) at any of the seven stations.

• The average NO2 concentrations over the six-year period ranged from 2 to 27 µg/m3. All annual average values were below the AAAQO of 60 µg/m3.

• NO2 concentrations at all WBEA stations are at their lowest during the summer months and highest in the winter as shown in Figure B3-4.

• Diurnal variation of NO2 at all stations showed bimodal distributions typically with peaks in the mornings at around 07:00 hours and in the evenings around 19:00 hours as shown in Figure B3-5.

1.3.3 Particulate Matter Smaller than 2.5 µm – PM2.5

Suspended particles less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) are produced by a variety of sources including forest fires, agricultural activities, road dust, dust from industrial activity including mines, vehicle exhaust emissions and exhaust from industrial combustion processes. Forest fires as a source have been identified by Connor Pacific (2000) and Suncor (2000) in their respective reviews of 1998 emissions data from the oil sands region. Small particles like PM2.5, such as those produced by fires, can be transported for long distances causing haze and

reduced visibility, and they can be suspended in the air for an indefinite period of time. These fine particulates are of concern because they can be inhaled and are small enough to enter the lower respiratory tract including the alveoli of the lungs. Table B3-5 summarizes PM2.5 concentrations measured at the Albian Mine, Athabasca Valley, Fort McKay, Fort Chipewyan, Millennium, Patricia McInnes and Syncrude UE1 stations. Results indicate:

• The 98th percentile hourly PM2.5 values measured at all seven stations were below the AAAQO (80 µg/m3).

• The 98th percentile daily PM2.5 values measured at all seven stations were below the CWS (30 µg/m3).

• The maximum hourly concentrations ranged from 99 to 354 µg/m3 for all seven sites. The 24 hour 95th percentile values for all seven monitoring stations ranged between 6 and 14 µg/m3. Averages for the 2004-2008 period ranged from 2 to 7 µg/m3.

• Seasonal fluctuations in PM2.5 levels showed a peak in concentrations from June to August for all WBEA stations as shown in Figure B3-6. This correlates well with seasonal increases in forest fire activity and dry gravel road conditions.

• Diurnal variation in PM2.5 levels is bimodal with minor increases around 7:00 and 19:00 as shown in Figure B3-7.

Table B3-6 summarizes CO concentrations at the Athabasca Valley station in 2004 to 2008. The maximum 1-h concentration was 7 103 µg/m3 (January 2005) compared to an ambient objective of 15 000 µg/m3. Figure B3-8 shows seasonal and diurnal variations in the 1-h average CO concentration. Median values are similar in all months (and at all hours) but maximum values are higher in cold weather. Maximum concentrations are higher in afternoon and evening hours.

1.3.5 Ozone

1.3.5.1 Ozone Formation

O3 is an important natural constituent of the atmosphere, an oxidizing agent, and its concentration is highly variable. Altshuller (1986) indicated ground level concentrations of O3 can be influenced by:

• downward transport of stratospheric O3; • photochemical formation within a pristine troposphere; and • photochemical formation within a polluted troposphere especially during passage of

warm high pressure systems; and O3 formation within plumes. Ground level O3 concentrations are determined by formation, destruction and transport processes. Lefohn et al. (1990) reported O3 values at relatively pristine locations.

1.3.5.2 Precursors

O3 is not directly emitted into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources. Formation in the stratosphere and in the lower atmosphere is photochemical and occurs through a complex series of precursor compounds. Primary precursors that may be affected by industrial activity are NOx and VOCs. As discussed in Section 4.2 and summarized in Sandhu (1999), NO emissions are partially converted to NO2. O3 photolysis and reactions with water produce OH-. Reactions of O3 and OH- with NOx and VOCs produce HNO3 and HNO2, peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and nitrates. NO2

photolysis and reactions with O2 produce O3. The presence of various species of VOCs greatly complicates the scenario and it is beyond the scope of this work to illustrate all of the possible reaction pathways.

1.3.5.3 Meteorological Considerations

Ground-level O3 concentrations are influenced by sunlight, temperature, wind speed, mixing, as well as scavenging.

• Solar radiation plays a key role in initiating the photochemical reactions that might lead to O3 formation, and varies with season and latitude. Daylight in the Fort McMurray region ranges from about 6 hours in winter to 18 hours in summer, and the diurnal nature of sunlight is important in understanding the diurnal variation in observed O3 concentrations for the region.

• Ground-level O3 formation is also a function of temperature. Episodes of high temperature have been linked to seasonally high O3 observations (US EPA 1996). This research indicates that O3 concentrations may vary widely at a given temperature but that maximum O3 concentrations typically increase with temperature. Temperature ranges at which O3 formation takes place are typically above 25 to 30°C; however, O3 has been observed to form at lower temperatures in the oil sands area (AMEC 2004).

Application for Approval of the BlackGold Expansion Project Volume 3 – EIA Appendices

December 2009

Page B3-8

• Low wind speed increases O3 formation potential because lower wind speeds lead to reduced ventilation and the build-up of precursor concentrations. High temperatures are typically associated with low wind speeds, greater solar radiation, stagnant circulation and suppressed mixing.

Sandhu (1999) used the term ‘chemical air mass’ to identify a body of air that becomes stagnant over a source region, such as the oil sands, and subsequently takes on the characteristics of the region with respect to temperature, humidity, stability, and the accumulation of O3 and precursors. The chemical air mass in which high O3 values may be observed is likely to be a high pressure area with subsidence, an elevated inversion layer, lack of clouds, low winds and high temperatures.

1.3.5.4 Alberta Observations

O3 and precursor values are summarized in a large number of publications including AMEC (2004), Angle and Sandhu (1986 and 1989), Cheng et al. (1997), Conor Pacific (2000), Fanaki et al. (1979), Leahey and Hansen (1990), Legge and Krupa 1990, Legge et al. (1991), Myrick (1995, 1996a and 1996b), Myrick and Asquin (1992 and 1993), Myrick et al. (1994), Peake and Fong (1990), Peake and Sandhu (1983), Peake et al. (1983, 1985, 1986, 1988a and 1988b), as well as in recent EIAs in the oil sands area. The observations generally indicate:

• elevated stations have higher ground-level concentrations and show little diurnal variation (Angle and Sandhu 1986, Legge and Krupa 1990);

• urban areas generally show maximum values in May and minimum values in November (Myrick and Asqin 1992 and 1993, Myrick 1995, 1996a and 1996b);

• urban areas show much larger diurnal variation in summer than in winter, with the highest values in the afternoon and the lowest values just before sunrise (Angle and Sandhu 1989);

• urban areas are O3 sinks throughout the year and at least one measurement program indicates the sink can extend tens of kilometres downwind of the city (Angle and Sandhu 1989, Leahey and Hansen 1990);

• rural stations show diurnal variations between elevated and urban areas (Angle and Sandhu 1986, Sandhu 1999);

• trajectory analysis of surface observations in Fort McMurray and Fort McKay shows that oil sands sources can be identified upwind of monitoring locations on most days with the highest O3 concentrations (Davies and Fellin 1999); and

• O3 formation occurs in oil sands plumes in late morning and afternoon during summer at distances beyond about 20 km from the source while depletion occurs nearer the source (AMEC 2004; Fanaki et al. 1979).

Surface maximum 1-h values are highest in rural areas downwind of industrial facilities and lowest in urban centres and more remote rural areas (AMEC 2004). Ninety-ninth percentile values do not follow the same trend, suggesting conditions leading to the highest values do not occur frequently.

1.3.5.5 WBEA Ozone Observations

Table B3-7 summarizes O3 concentrations measured at the Athabasca Valley, Fort Chipewyan, Fort McKay, Patricia McInnes and Syncrude UE1 stations. Results indicate:

• The 1 hour maximum O3 values at 3 stations exceeded the AENV objective of 160 µg/m3 these stations were Athabasca Valley (171 µg/m3), Fort McKay (165 µg/m3) and Patricia McInnes (161 µg/m3).

• The CWS (CCME 1999) value of 128 μg/m3 (65 ppb), based on the 4th highest (99th percentile) 8-h average O3 concentration, was not exceeded at the five stations. The highest 8-h average concentrations (101 µg/m3) were at the Patricia McInnes and Fort Chipewyan stations.

Figures B3-9 and B3-10 present average seasonal and diurnal O3 variations. They indicate:

• Monthly O3 concentrations in the WBEA network have peaks in April at all stations, with monthly medians between 65 and 70 μg/m3. Stratospheric intrusions are more frequent in spring (April to early June) (Singh et al. 1980, Davis and Schuebath 1994) and are likely to be the key source of elevated O3 levels in the oil sands in spring.

• O3 concentrations at all stations peak in mid-afternoon (about 15:00). The lowest concentrations occur in early morning (about 06:00). These ground level O3 trends correlate well with the daily solar maximum which is responsible for initiating the photo-chemical reactions necessary to form O3.

1.3.6 Hydrogen Sulphide

Table B3-8 summarizes hydrogen sulphide H2S observations during the 2004 to 2008 period. Ambient H2S was measured at the following WBEA air quality stations: Buffalo Viewpoint, Lower Camp, Mannix, Mildred Lake, Millenium, Patricia McInnes and Syncrude UE1. The results indicate that maximum measured values were above AAAQOs at all stations. The highest maximum 1-h average hydrogen sulphide concentration of 127 µg/m3 was measured at Mildred

Lake, which is higher than the AAAQO of 14 µg/m3. The maximum daily H2S concentrations were highest at Mannix (20 µg/m3) and Mildred Lake (18 µg/m3) and exceeded the AAAQO of 4 µg/m3. It is expected that observed ambient concentrations for H2S may be influenced by fugitive and upset releases from oil sands operations within the region. There was a high frequency of zero readings in H2S measurements. It is expected the reason is because releases of H2S are infrequent and therefore are measured infrequently at monitoring stations.

1.3.7 Acid Deposition

1.3.7.1 Dry Deposition

Table B3-9 summarizes SO2 and SO4-2 deposition during 2004 to 2008 for continuous

measurements at the Athabasca Valley, Fort McKay and Patricia McInnes sites and passive measurements from 2002-2004. Calculations assume a deposition velocity of 0.58 cm/s based on average values in EPCM (2002) consistent with recent EIA’s (EnCana 2007). Co-located concentration measurements and deposition estimates using passive and continuous samples show good agreement overall.

1.3.7.4 Potential Acid Input

PAI deposition rates as estimated from continuous WBEA measurements in 2004 to 2008 and from 2002-2004 for passive measurements are listed in Table B3-15. This table is based on information provided in Tables B3-9 to B3-14. Total PAI is calculated as NO2 + SO2 + wet anions – wet cations – dry cations. Dry cation deposition rates were calculated using Beaverlodge and Esther regressions presented in Chaikowsky (2001). The PAI estimates in Table B3-15 show substantial spatial variability with the smallest values based on passive measurements at Mackay River and the largest values in Fort McMurray (Athabasca Valley monitoring station).

1.3.8 Nitrogen Deposition

The importance of atmospheric deposition on nutrient concentration in water is discussed in Paerl (1997). For the purpose of this assessment, nitrogen available for eutrophication was calculated from deposited nitrogen as follows:

NE = MWN/MWNO2 NO2 + MWN/MWNO3 NO3 (dry and wet) + MWN/ MWNH4 NH4 (wet)

where MWx is the molecular weights or substance x, and deposition rates are given in kg/ha/y. N deposition estimates from continuous WBEA measurements in 2004 to 2008 and from 2002-2004 for passive measurements are presented in Table B3-16 and benchmark criteria for European ecosystems are presented in Table B3-16. Deposition values in urban areas such as Athabasca Valley exceed the lowest critical load for the most sensitive ecosystems while estimates at other industrial locations are less than the lowest critical load.

1.3.9 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

WBEA has an extensive VOC monitoring program that monitors numerous VOCs at several sites. The compounds monitored by the WBEA VOC program generally follow the US EPA precursors of O3 (PAMS) procedures. VOCs are monitored using stainless steel electropolished (SUMMA) canisters. Air samples are collected by drawing air into the canister at a constant rate (10 to 15 mL/min) for a 24 hour period on the 6-day NAPS cycle. These air samples are analyzed by GC/FID and GC/MSD techniques. The SUMMA canisters are evacuated and cleaned prior to installation. Minimum detection limits are determined from replicate measurements of low-level standards and acceptance criteria are evaluated as specified in EPA Method TO-15. Tables B3-18 to B3-22 list 24-h VOC concentration statistics at Fort McKay, Athabasca Valley, Patricia McInnes, Millenium and Syncrude UE1 stations for measurements in 2002 to 2003. The tables also include 1-h ambient air quality objectives for reference where available (AENV 2009). All observations are well below objectives. Tables B3-23 to B3-25 list PAH concentrations at Fort McKay, Patricia McInnes and Athabasca Valley stations. PAHs are analyzed for in total suspended particulate samples collected with the high-volume sampler every sixth day in accordance with the NAPS monitoring schedule. The TSP samples undergo laboratory analysis using GC/MS. There are presently no established AAAQOs for PAHs.

1.4 Meteorology and Climatology measurements

The climate was inferred primarily from observations from Fort Chipewyan and Fort McMurray from 2002-2006, as well as CALMET extracted data for a ‘pseudo-station’ located at the project location.

1.4.1 Winds

Winds in the region are defined by the interaction between the large-scale flow and the local terrain. The latter makes wind conditions vary over parts of the domain. Meteorological data for the period 2002 to 2006 at the Fort McMurray airport were obtained from Environment Canada. This station is about 120 km from the project. Wind roses created from this record are shown in Figures B3-13 to B3-15. Figure B3-13 shows the annual wind rose, and indicates the dominance of easterly winds followed by westerlies, a pattern that is likely shaped by the topography. As shown in Figure B3-14, seasonal variation is marked by change in wind speed between winter (December to February) when mean winds are weakest, to spring (March to May) when winds are at their strongest. Easterly winds are also more pronounced during these two seasons compared to the rest of the year. Figure B3-15 shows diurnal variation in wind patterns. The high frequency of winds from the west between 13:00 to 18:00, particularly in the summer suggests upslope winds induced by solar heating. In absence of a station at the project site, processed data were extracted from the CALMET outputs to describe meteorological conditions at KNOC. Wind roses created from the CALMET extracts for 2002 to 2006 are presented in Figures B3-16 to B3-19. As shown in Figures B3-16 and B3-17, winds at KNOC appear to be mainly from the southwest, a condition that is most pronounced in winter, particularly in December. During spring there appears to be no dominant wind direction, and during the rest of the year the flow tends to be from the west-southwest sector. As noted earlier, winds at KNOC are different from those at other stations as a result of terrain influences. As shown in Figure B3-18, hourly variation is insignificant, other than a small increase in frequency of flow from the east and a slight rise in mean speed during daytime. A comparison of annual wind roses from 2002 to 2006 also indicates minor year-to-year variation as shown in Figure B3-19. Winds from the southwest remain dominant in all years, and those from the opposite direction are the most infrequent. The interannual variation in the mean wind speed is also minor, with only a 10 percent difference between the windiest year (3.3 m/s in 2002) and average of the succeeding years (3.0 m/s).

For comparison, wind roses from selected WBEA network stations in the domain, as well as from the project pseudo-station are shown in Figure B3-20. At Fort Chipewyan, which is at the flatter northern section of the domain, winds also exhibit the same dominance of winds from the east as in Fort McMurray. Winds are however very different at other stations in the Athabasca Valley. The Mannix station shows a dominance of south-southeasterly winds, while southerly and northerly winds prevail at Fort McKay. By contrast, there is no dominant wind direction at the Patricia McInnes station.

1.4.2 Ambient Temperature

Temperature measurements in the area surrounding the proposed project for 2002-2006 are presented in Table B3-26 and Figures B3-21 to B3-23. The temperatures range from -43.7 oC (January) to +36.4oC (June) at Fort McMurray, from -39.2 oC (January) to +32.1oC (August) at Fort McMurray and from –40.6 to +36.7 oC at the project pseudo-station. Average temperatures ranged from 0.2 to 1.3oC. Temperatures at Fort Chipewyan are not expected to be substantially different from those at the Mannix Station. The diurnal and monthly temperature variations are presented in Figures B3-14 B3-16. The results indicate the following:

• Monthly median temperatures range from about -17°C in January to +16°C in July.

• The median hourly temperatures recorded at these stations show that the temperatures were the highest from 14:00 to 16:00 as a result of solar heating.

• The lowest median temperatures occurred just before sunrise from 4:00 to 7:00.

1.4.3 Atmospheric Stability

While Pasquil-Gifford stability classifications are not directly used in CALPUFF modelling, they are useful to describe the amount of turbulence present in the atmosphere. These classes range from unstable (Classes A, B, C) through neutral (D) to stable (E, F). Unstable conditions are primarily associated with daytime heating conditions that result in enhanced turbulence. Stable conditions occur during night-time cooling and indicated suppressed turbulence. Neutral conditions occur in cloudy or windy conditions.

Stability class was derived following the approach of US EPA where the final stability class changes are limited to one category per hour. For this reason, the final PG stability classes can include a few hours with stable conditions occurring in daylight hours, and or unstable conditions in evening hours. Figure B3-24 presents diurnal trends in PG stability class seasonally for the project pseudo-station. The information indicates:

• neutral conditions (Stability Class D) can occur at any hour of the day and occur about 27% of the time;

• unstable stability classes (A, B, and C) are limited to daytime hours and occur about 30% of the time, while stable classes (E and F) occur during night-time hours (except as indicated above) and occur about 44% of the time; and

• spring and summer have the largest percentage of stability Class A (very unstable) that can occur up to 10% of daylight hours. Winter and fall have the least stability Class A values as this class is associated with strong daytime heating.

1.4.4 Mixing Height

A temperature increase with height is referred to as an inversion. The base of the temperature inversion may be ground-based or elevated. In the case of the latter, a two-layered atmosphere is created. The lower layer tends to be well mixed and is characterized by neutral or unstable conditions. The depth of this lower layer is referred to as the mixing height. The upper layer tends to be characterized by stable conditions. The vertical transfer of mass between these two layers is minimal. Mixing heights are not explicitly used as inputs to the CALPUFF model. However, an examination of them is useful from a climatological perspective. During the night, the mixing height is determined by the mechanical interaction of the wind with surface features. Maximum mixing layer depths tend to be a few hundred metres. The depth of the mechanical mixing layer can be estimated from the relationship:

Zm = 263 U

where U is the wind speed at 10 m (m/s) and is centre-averaged for a 3-h period (Benkley and Schulman 1979). The above relationship assumes a surface roughness length of 100 cm, a logarithmic wind profile, a von Karman constant of 0.4 and a Coriolis parameter of 1.2 × 10-4 s-1. The roughness length is likely nearer to 0.5 to 1 m in the oil sands area, which may slightly increase Zm compared to the above value (AMEC 2001, True North Energy 2001). After sunrise, the solar heating usually determines the depth of the mixing layer. Typical depths increase from the mechanical mixing height at sunrise to heights of up to a few thousand metres by mid-afternoon. Mean maximum afternoon mixing depths for the study area were obtained from a climatological summary of mixing heights prepared by Portelli (1977).

Figure B3-25 shows mixing heights for the entire year at the project and shows diurnal variation in mixing heights by season. Median mixing heights range from approximately 200 m in winter (regardless of the time of day) to approximately 1,450 m in summer afternoons.

1.4.5 Precipitation

Table B3-27 and Figure B3-26 show average monthly rainfall, snowfall and total precipitation at the Fort McMurray Airport from 1980 through 2008. Most of the 342 mm of precipitation occurs during the period May to September. Most of the 156 mm of snowfall occurs during the period November to March. The greatest total precipitation of about 81 mm/month occurred in July.

1.4.6 General Climate

While not directly related to dispersion, common climatological variables such as relative humidity are often of interest. Figure B3-27 shows the diurnal variation in relative humidity for each month at the project. The highest relative humidity values tend to occur in the early morning hours in October and November. The lowest values tend to occur in the afternoon hours in May and June. Overall, the lower daytime values are associated with the warmer temperatures that occur during the day.

1.4.7 Climate Summary

The climate can be inferred from observations in the study area.. A review of observations indicates the following:

• prevailing winds in the area are likely oriented along the Athabasca River valley. Those in larger study areas are expected to be from the west to south-westerly quadrants;

• average wind speeds for the area are relatively light with winds below 4 m/s occurring 58% of the time. Winds greater than 6 m/s occur about 10% of the time. Greater wind speeds tend to occur during the day;

• median ambient temperatures range from a low of about –17ºC in January to a high of about 16ºC in July;

• median afternoon mixing heights range from approximately 200 metres in winter to about 1,450 m in summer. Night-time mixing heights are typically in the 200 to 400 m range;

• stability classes follow a diurnal cycle with stable conditions occurring during the night and unstable conditions occurring during the day. Unstable conditions occur more frequently during the spring and summer;

• most precipitation occurs during the May to September period; and • mean relative humidity varies from a minimum of about 52 percent during spring day-

time periods to a maximum of about 92 percent during fall night-time periods.

APPENDIX B4: BACKGROUND EMISSION SOURCE INFORMATION VOCS AND PAHS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This appendix lists the emission source characteristics and emission rate details of VOCs and PAHs species within the AQRSA. The data represent facility and planned project emission information obtained primarily from recent EIAs (DCEL 2007, EnCana 2007). The facility and planned project emissions within the AQRSA that were included in the Baseline and Planned Development (Planned) emission scenarios of this air quality assessment are presented on a company-by-company basis. Background emission sources for the project emission scenario were considered to be the same as those for the Baseline scenario. The emission rates for all individual species were not provided by project operators although total VOC emissions, as well as those for certain species, were available for some. For those chemicals whose emissions were not directly available, they were estimated as follows.

Tailings Ponds

Whenever speciated tailings pond emissions were directly available from other operations, they were used (e.g., UTS Fort Hills, Syncrude Mildred Lake). Tailings pond emissions for other facilities, were based on the speciated VOC emission profile from the Joslyn North Mine Tailings Pond (DCEL 2007) and scaled to the respective bitumen production of each facility. It is generally understood that emission rates of VOCs from tailings ponds vary with temperature. A monthly variable tailings pond emissions scheme has been employed in some recent EIAs in the region (CNRL 2003, Suncor 2003, Imperial Oil 2005) to determine the monthly average emission rates for the tailing ponds. Typically such a scheme varies the total emissions from the ponds between 100% in the summer and 2% in the coldest winder months. For this assessment however, it has been assumed that tailings pond emissions are constant at 100%.This assumption is conservative, however the project has no pond emissions and the effect of this change on the gross regional emissions is minimal. Emission rates of total reduced sulphur (TRS) compounds from the Joslyn North Mine tailings pond are shown in Table B4-1. These emission rates were derived from unpublished emission flux rate measurements taken from various locations on and around the Syncrude Mildred Lake settling basin (Clearstone 1998). Based on these measurements, TRS emissions were largely comprised of the following five compounds: H2S, CS2 (carbon disulphide), COS (carbonyl sulphide), mercaptans and thiophenes. TRS emissions for all other tailings ponds in the region were scaled to corresponding facility bitumen production.

Other Sources

Mining area fugitive emission rates for VOCs and PAHs at active faces were derived based on Clearstone (1998) data for the Syncrude Mildred Lake plant and mine facilities. These data represent emission flux rates measured for a variety of mine surface areas. The fugitive emission rates were determined using one normalized data set of “g/s per 1,000 bpd of bitumen production” to represent all types of mine fugitive emission surfaces. Estimated benzene emission rates were compared with those reported for other developments, if available. For those cases in which benzene emission rates were reported, the emission rates for all chemicals were readjusted in proportion to the reported benzene emission rate. Fugitive emission rates for VOCs and PAHs from upgrading facilities, as well as from mining and extraction facilities, were derived and applied in the same manner as described above (using only one normalized data set of “g/s per 1000 bpd of bitumen production” to represent all types of plant fugitive emission sources, including plant fittings, wastewater pond and API separator, and storage tanks). Mining area fleet exhaust emission rates for the four criteria emissions were based on the rates reported by each facility and development. Exhaust emission rates for the remaining VOCs and PAHs were based on US EPA AP-42 derived diesel engine emission factors (g/1000L diesel fuel consumption). The diesel fuel consumption rate for each development, where unavailable directly, was determined by scaling from the diesel fuel consumption rate reported for the Syncrude Mildred Lake mine using the reported bitumen production rate for each development. Processing plant emissions from plant combustion sources were estimated based on derived fuel gas consumptions (Sm3 per 1000 bpd of bitumen or upgraded product production, typical for SAGD, mining & extraction, and mining, extraction & upgrading type facilities, respectively) and US EPA AP-42 derived natural gas external combustion emission factors for the VOCs and PAHs. Bitumen or upgraded product production data as reported for each development were used to estimate the fuel gas consumption rate and, thus, the total emission rates for each development. Baseline community fugitive VOCs emissions for the community were calculated using a fugitive benzene emission rate that was determined for Fort McMurray in 2001 (Martin Rawlings, personal communication, as documented in True North 2001). This fugitive benzene emission

rate was scaled to current population figures, and the adjusted value was used to back-calculate per capita natural gas and equivalent-diesel fuel consumption rates for Fort McMurray. The other speciated VOCs were then calculated using the fuel usage numbers and the AP-42 emission factors. Community emission rates of VOCs and PAHs for the Planned Development case were scaled up based on the projected population of these communities 25 years after the start of project operations. The populations were all assumed to grow at a rate of 3% per year for 25 years over baseline estimates. Baseline highway fugitive emission rates for VOCs and PAHs were derived by estimating the annual average daily traffic volume, the average number of kilometres each vehicle traveled, and the average equivalent diesel fuel consumption rate of each vehicle travelling on the highways, and then multiplying these figures by the US EPA AP-42 derived diesel fuel internal combustion emission factors. For the Planned Development case, highway emission rates of VOCs and PAHs were scaled up from Baseline values assuming that traffic on these highways grew at a rate of 3% per year for 25 years while the average fuel consumption rate of each vehicle decreased by 1% per year for 25 years.
