(8:30 A.M.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Good morning, everyone.
Is there any housekeeping?
I have one really quick item. I'd forgotten
if we'd spoken to this scheduling item yesterday,
but if we're still sitting on November the 13th,
and it appears we will be, the Board is available
that morning, that's the Tuesday morning after
Remembrance Day, so that gives us a little more
time than we had otherwise and we would propose to
start at 9:00 a.m. that day.
Mr. Duncanson, you were coming to the
microphone before I interrupted you.
SHELL UNDERTAKINGS SPOKEN TO, BY MR. DUNCANSON:
MR. DUNCANSON: Good morning, Mr. Chairman.
Just two undertakings from yesterday that we would
like to address this morning. The first related to
the inflow sources into the end pit lakes for the
Jackpine Mine and the Jackpine Mine Expansion.
We've provided hard copies of a response to that
undertaking to both the Board, and we will be
providing copies to the back of the room as well.

EXHIBIT 001-080: SHELL CANADA LIMITED RESPONSE TO
UNDERTAKING #8 - SUBMITTED BY SHELL CANADA ON
NOVEMBER 2, 2012 - REQUESTED BY OSEC (MS. BUSS)
MR. DUNCANSON: Thank you.
Secondly, Mr. Chairman, there was an
undertaking given to Mr. Malcolm at the end of the
day yesterday from Mr. Roberts. And that related
to the Delta and timing between reclamation
pre-Directive 074 and with the Directive 074 Mine
Plan. And I believe that Mr. Roberts can speak to
that.
A. MR. ROBERTS: Sure. So in the original
Project Application, terrestrial reclamation began
in 2035. And that can be found in EIA Volume 1,
Section 20, Table 20-13. And after the plans were
redone to accommodate Directive 074, terrestrial
reclamation begins in 2025. And that can be found
in the Muskeg River Diversion Alternative. It's in
that JRP SIR46, Table 46-1 from May 2012. So

Directive 074 actually advanced the beginning of
our terrestrial reclamation by 10 years.
MR. DUNCANSON: Thank you, Mr. Roberts.
(UNDERTAKING NO. 10 SATISFIED BY MR. ROBERTS)
MR. DUNCANSON: Finally, Mr. Chairman, there
was an undertaking given yesterday by Mr. Jalkotzy
with respect to updating moose population
information. And he committed to providing that
Monday morning, and that remains our estimated
timing for that.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, sir.
Any other housekeeping? Ms. Biem?

CROSS-EXAMINATION BY ATHABASCA CHIPEWYAN FIRST NATION, BY
MS. BIEM (CONTINUING):
MS. BIEM: Good morning, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Panel.
Q. I'm here to conduct a short follow-up
cross-examination of Shell on three matters:

One would be regarding the May 2007 incident
with the Muskeg River tailings pond.
The second would be cross-examination of
Mr. Jalkotzy now that he's had an opportunity to
review his paper and excerpt of which was entered
as Exhibit 006-021.
And then I have a few follow-up questions
regarding the written undertaking that was provided
yesterday in response to ACFN's written questions
regarding the karst hazard.
And I am quite conscious that there are
several other parties yet to cross-examine, so I'm
going to do my best to be brief. I'll also ask the
Shell panel for their assistance in answering my
questions directly and answering them the first
time that they are asked.
MS. BIEM:
Q. So my first questions are for Mr. Martindale
regarding the May 2007 incident.
A. MR. MARTINDALE: M'mm-hmm.
Q. My understanding is that when the 16 birds died in
the tailings pond, that was because the failure of
Shell's system was that the radio communications
Board failed to send hazing signals to the floats;

is that correct?
A. MR. MARTINDALE: Yes, that's correct.
Q. Do you have any idea how long the system was down
for?
A. No, I don't, but it said it was corrected
immediately as soon as it was discovered, so that
would have been the next day, because they are on
the pond every day, as I indicated.
Q. And Shell didn't report many dead birds last year,
I believe it was 23 in total for both Muskeg River
and Jackpine Mine; is that correct?
A. Subject to check, that's about correct. At both
Muskeg River and Jackpine, yes.
Q. So 16 dead birds is a comparatively large number of
ducks for Shell all at once, isn't it?
A. 2007 was the highest, our peak year. We had a
total of 26. Yes.
Q. So 16 --
A. So 16 was our biggest single event ever.
Q. So that was a major event for Shell in terms of --
A. That was our worst major event, yes.
Q. And, Mr. Martindale, until recently, you were
Shell's Manager of Environment for both the Muskeg
River Mine and Jackpine Mine; correct?
A. That's correct.

Q. And did I understand you to say on Tuesday morning
that you were in charge of implementing and
managing the bird deterrence system?
A. Yes, I was the one that found it, installed it and
worked with the developers to build it.
Q. And you were also responsible for implementing and
managing the monitoring systems; correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. But you didn't know about this major incident in
May of 2007, did you?
A. I'm sure I knew about it at the time. I just
didn't recall on the day you asked the question.
Q. It slipped your mind, sir?
A. Yes.
Q. So it's fair to say, then, that your recollection
regarding the efficacy of the deterrent systems
that Shell has in place may not be completely
accurate or complete?
A. No, no, I would say it's very accurate. It's a
system that's been checked by -- we've had it
tested by Dr. Colleen and a Master's student. It's
been published and reviewed by others. It's not
just me. So it's been working very well. And it's
checked and calibrated every year.
Q. And in terms of the evidence you gave on Tuesday

morning about your personal recollections of how
well the system works, it's fair to say that those
recollections may not be quite complete?
A. Well, that was one incident.
Q. A major incident, agreed?
A. Yeah, agreed.
Q. And you didn't comprehensively review Shell's
internal records regarding the bird deterrence
system and monitoring system or incidents regarding
birds and tailings ponds before you gave your
evidence to the Panel on Tuesday morning, did you?
A. Could you be more specific? Because, yes, I did.
Q. So you did review Shell's records regarding
incidents involving birds and tailings ponds?
A. Oh, not the letters, no. But the numbers of the
birds, yes, I've got here, but there's no
indication of how many per incident.
Q. So it's entirely possible that you are unaware of
other incidents, isn't it?
A. No, every incident is documented.
Q. But you weren't aware of the most major incident
Shell says it's had on its tailings pond, so it's
possible that there are other incidents that you
don't know about; correct?
A. No, that's not correct. Every incident is

documented and reported. It just so happened I
forgot this incident.
Q. And it's possible that you forgot other incidents
when you gave your evidence on Tuesday morning?
A. No, we have a monitoring crew that is out on it
every day. They don't report to me directly. They
report to the wildlife person. And so day-to-day
activities are based entirely on the monitoring
that is done, the monitoring that's done every day
by the bird crew. So it's not always me that is
sending out the crews, it's done by the wildlife
specialist.
Q. Okay, thank you. I'll move on to Mr. Jalkotzy now.
Okay, and on Tuesday -- good morning.
A. MR. JALKOTZY: Good morning.
Q. On Tuesday we established that you were an author
of a report called "The Effects of Linear
Developments on Wildlife: A Review of Selected
Scientific Literature." Correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. And in that report, in essence, you simply listed
the results from a wide range of studies and while
some studies found no relationship between linear
disturbance and zone of influence, most studies did
in fact find that there should be a zone of

influence in the hundreds of metres; correct?
A. Yes. And I add to that there were zones of
influence that were quite species-specific as well
as taking into account that there were also
disturbance coefficients associated with that with
each zone of influence. And what that means is
that within your zone of influence, the actual use
of that area can vary, and it can vary from
slightly less than what you expect to much more
than that. And so an example would be if you have
a disturbance coefficient of point five, let's say,
that means that that habitat within the zone of
influence is used half the time by the animals that
you'd expect to be there, or half the animals,
let's say, use it all the time. So it, although
we're talking about a zone of influence, we're not
talking about an area that is completely avoided by
wildlife.
Q. And even back in 1997 there was an overwhelming
amount of evidence that a zone of influence did
exist on either side of the linear disturbance;
correct?
A. It's a well accepted fact that there are zones of
influence on linear disturbance. I can also add
that those zones of influence vary a lot depending

on a lot of different factors.
Q. And is it also a well accepted fact that a zone of
influence should be factored into an assessment of
the impacts of linear development on wildlife?
A. Yes.
Q. I'm just going to refresh your memory. On Tuesday,
I just went through some highlights of your report,
so Section 5.2, the report states that -- are you
there, sir?
A. Yes, I am. 5.2, Habitat Avoidance.
Q. Yes.
"Habitat in the vicinity of
the corridor is effectively lost.
Fragmentation of the landscape may
occur if avoidance of disturbance
corridors prevents wildlife from
fully using land on either side of
a corridor."
A. Yes, that's correct. And again, though, I would
say that you have to take that into the context of
what I just said about effectiveness within a zone
of influence.
Q. So I believe what you just said was that habitat is

not necessarily lost?
A. Well, it's not entirely lost.
Q. Okay. And what you said in your 1997 report was
that "Habitat in the vicinity of the corridor is
effectively lost"; correct?
A. Well, if you look at this report, and as you
stated, it's a long report. And this is a
particular summary where certainly I use those
words, "effectively lost," but I'll just qualify
that. And if you look elsewhere in the document,
let's say under "grizzly bears," there's a table
that indicates the zones of influence and the
disturbance coefficients that go along with it.
Q. And at Section 5.3, the report states:
"This disturbance may take
several forms such as the
displacement of wildlife from the
corridor into adjacent habitats
that are already occupied by other
individuals of the same species,
changes in group structure for
gregarious species, or differential
mortality of classes as a result of
the disturbance corridor."

Correct?
A. Yes, that's correct.
Q. And at Section 5.5, the report states:
"Disturbance corridors may
also be important contributors to
indirect mortality. Indirect
mortality is typically associated
with human access."
And just at the next sentence:
"... once a disturbance
corridor is present, human access
generally leads to additional
mortality due to hunting, trapping,
poaching and management actions.
Predators such as wolves may
benefit from the presence of the
disturbance corridor in a similar
way."
A. Yes. And, again, I would like to state that this
is in this one particular section and if you look
at the rest of the report, and you take that all

into account, those items are going to vary quite a
bit on the type of corridor. So if you're looking
at the smaller cut lines that are done nowadays
that are used once by exploration crews in the
winter, they often don't see any use. Whereas, of
course, on the other end of the scale, roads have
greater effects.
Q. And when you say a small cut line such as those
used today, how wide would such a cut line be that
you're referring to?
A. Well, we're talking about the 3D seismic is the
smallest and, I mean, it varies a bit, but I think
it can be from 1.5 to 3.5 metres.
Q. Okay.
A. And they tend to be meandering, avoiding large
trees, that kind of thing.
Q. But as a general principle, it's clear from your
paper that wildlife avoid linear development;
correct?
A. Well, again, that's a very broad generalization.
You can say that, but when it comes down to the
actual effects on the landscape on wildlife, you do
have to start taking into account what in
particular you're talking about when you're talking
about linear development. I mean, there's a figure

at the beginning of the report, I think it's
Figure 2, that describes the kinds of linear
developments that we're talking about, and it has
everything from a twinned highway to down to a
trail. And there are huge differences in the
actual effects; I mean it's a gradient.
Q. I'd like to refer you to Exhibit 001-07OO filed by
Shell. That's Environment Canada's 2012 Recovery
Strategy for the Woodland Caribou, Boreal
population, in Canada.
A. Why don't you ask the question, and we are pulling
it up, but I think you can carry on.
Q. At page 14, or PDF page 26 of that report, when
discussing their disturbance analysis, Environment
Canada states:
"The total disturbance
footprint was measured as the
combined effects of fire that has
occurred in the past 40 years and
buffered (500 m) anthropogenic
disturbance defined as any
human-caused disturbance to the
landscape that could be visually
identified from Landsat imagery at

a scale of 1:50,000 although the
effect of anthropogenic disturbance
varies for individual ranges (i.e.,
in some ranges extending up to
14 km), Environment Canada
demonstrated that the application
of a 500 m buffer to mapped
anthropogenic features best
represents the combined effects of
increased predation and avoidance
on caribou population trends at the
national scale."
Sir, would you agree that the 500-metre
buffer used by Environment Canada in its Recovery
Plan is an adequate buffer to be used when defining
disturbance in relation to caribou?
A. I think that Environment Canada has decided to use
the 500 metres and it is, as far as a zone of
influence, I think it's a reasonable application of
the science that we have. The one thing that they
didn't do, and I can refer you to Simon Dyer's
work, where he looked at the zones of influence,
and that's where I say it looks like that
500 metres is approximately a good place to end up,

but one of the things that they don't do in the
Environment Canada work is they assume that it's
completely avoided, and if you look at Simon Dyer's
work, that wasn't the case. And so in that sense,
by assuming that it's a completely avoided area is
a conservative assessment of undisturbed habitat.
Simon found that there certainly was use
within those 500 metres and in some cases the zones
of influence were smaller, in some cases they were
larger.
So, again, the zone of influence of 500
metres I think is good, it's very conservative to
say, though, that there is no use at all in that
zone.
Q. And have you done any direct research or published
yourself on the subject of the impact of linear
disturbance on wildlife since 1997?
A. Well, I've followed the literature, not really
closely. I haven't published myself on it. I've
done some work along those lines, but not in any
great way, no.
The one thing that I would add as well is
that the Project is not in a caribou range. I
think we've covered that ground, though.
Q. Yes.

So have you determined for yourself what the
level of displacement is for various types of
wildlife that would be found on Shell's lease in
relation to development corridors?
A. I haven't determined it for myself, but what we
have used is recommendations from Environment
Canada regarding zones of influence for a number of
different species.
Q. And what zones of influence did you apply?
A. One minute, please. So of course, as I've said
earlier, the zones of influence will vary quite a
bit, but the Environment Canada recommendations
that we went with, and again were species-specific,
I won't get into the details, but they varied
between 50 and 300 metres. I think the 300 metres
were applied to a variety of federally-listed
birds.
Q. And any sense of what you applied the 50 metres to?
A. So the 50 metres was applied to, and again, I
talked earlier about the different kinds of
disturbance, so we also have different zones of
influence and disturbance coefficients associated
with different kinds of disturbance, and so I think
the 50 metres, if I remember correctly, was
associated with low disturbance for particular bird

species, so, you know, the lowest form of
disturbance for particular species.
Q. And I would like to refer you now, sir, to Figure 2
of Appendix 4 of Shell's May Response to the Joint
Review Panel Information Request. And that's
Exhibit 001-015O at PDF page 2.
A. Sorry, could you please repeat the Appendix.
Q. Yes, it's Appendix 4.
A. Go ahead.
Q. So the data presented in this figure is based on
Altalis data, correct, the disturbance data?
A. Sorry, just to confirm, we're looking at Figure 2,
which is bard owl habitat suitability in the
Regional Study Area?
Q. Yes.
A. Yes, I believe that's correct.
Q. And maybe you can just confirm for everybody --
A. Sorry, it is Altalis data, but my counterpart here
was just saying that it's actually a combination of
a number of different data sets, including the
Altalis data.
Q. Oh, okay.
A. I mean, just to briefly summarize. The regional
disturbance layer that we're using here starts with
the Altalis data, and then pulls in some other

sources to create that disturbance layer.
Q. Okay. So the figure itself just says:
"Alberta digital data
obtained from Altalis Ltd.,
Government of Alberta 2004 to
2011."
Could you please explain where else the data
came from, what your other data sources are for the
disturbance layer?
A. I'm not as familiar with that aspect of it, so I
would take an undertaking to give you that answer.
Q. Thank you. So it may be that you have to take
undertakings for the rest of these questions as
well?
A. Well, let's give it a try.
Q. I just wanted to confirm that the Altalis data used
came from a seven-year spread, 2004 to 2011,
because Altalis doesn't update images for the
entire area every year; is that correct?
A. Yes, I'm sorry, these are GIS questions that are
quite detailed, so I would be guessing if I was
answering. So no, I don't know.
Q. Okay. So can we get an undertaking for this series

of questions?
MR. DENSTEDT: So let's find out what the
list of questions are and then maybe I can hear why
we need to do this.
MS. BIEM: Sure.
Q. The next question is whether all of the data
presented in the map was actually current to 2011
and whether it may in fact not represent the
current state of disturbance in the RSA because
Altalis data is a fairly high resolution data set.
But if you are to go and look at the bottom -- hang
on. So on Figure 2. And in either the Base Case
or the Planned Development Case, if you look at the
bottom right-hand corner of it, so if you locate
Kearl Lake and go east, and north slightly, you'll
see that there are a lot of disturbance dots.
A. Yes, go ahead.
Q. But there's no --
MR. DENSTEDT: Before we move on, we're not
prepared to give those undertakings, sir. These
are questions that could have easily been asked
earlier. They don't relate to the information in
the paper, the specific question.
MS. BIEM: In fact, if you would have

very clear how they are relevant.
Q. The reason I'm asking is that the linear
disturbances aren't shown in that corner of the
map.
A. Well, I can say that when we were doing the 2012
Update that we used the latest, most current
available data at the Regional Study Area scale for
the 2012 Update.
Q. And so, you know what, I'm actually content to
leave it at that if you provide the undertaking to
provide exactly what that information was that
Shell relied on.
MR. DENSTEDT: That sounds reasonable, sir.
UNDERTAKING 13: WITH RESPECT TO WHEN SHELL WAS
DOING THE 2012 UPDATE USING THE LATEST, MOST
CURRENT AVAILABLE DATA AT THE REGIONAL STUDY AREA
SCALE FOR THE 2012 UPDATE, MR. JALKOTZY TO PROVIDE
EXACTLY WHAT THAT INFORMATION WAS THAT SHELL
RELIED ON
MS. BIEM:
Q. So, Mr. Jalkotzy, do you agree that the density of
linear development is increasing and is likely to
keep on increasing in Shell's RSA?

A. So I would agree with the statement that it's
increasing. You'd have to clarify "is likely to
keep on increasing".
Q. Based on the Planned Development Case that Shell
used to assess cumulative impacts, does it seem
likely that linear disturbance will continue to
increase?
A. So I think that we've presented our Planned
Development Case. Beyond that, I can't comment on
whether or not it will increase beyond that. The
Planned Development Case is as it's stated in our
documentation.
Q. So did Shell include any increase of lines in your
cumulative effects analysis -- sorry, any increase
of linear disturbance in your cumulative effects
analysis?
A. So when you say "increased" certainly in the
Planned Development Case, you can see that there
are new linear developments that are included. In
addition to that, when we're looking at seismic
exploration, we currently haven't explicitly
included that in the Planned Development Case.
However, the reason that they're not currently
included has to do with the certainty and the
availability of those data. Each company has

records of their completed seismic activities, but
the knowledge of future seismic is really difficult
to come by even from within companies. So if
you're looking at a Regional Study Area, the, you
know, the ability to pull that together is
daunting, to put it mildly, if we can't get it from
an individual company six months out.
The other thing that I would say is that when
you look at the information that we have on the
various leases in the Planned Development Case, in
the cases where -- and now we're talking
particularly about in-situ, really, in the Planned
Development Case -- we're talking about in some
cases we have the footprint and if you look at that
figure you'll see some of the Planned Development
Case projects are indicated as a footprint, to the
degree that we know now represent what will occur
on the landscape.
However, in other cases where we don't know
it, we've just blocked off the whole lease and
called it disturbance.
So in that sense, when you look at the larger
picture, the fact that we haven't explicitly
included it, but it is implicitly included in a
number of the leases, and actually overcompensated

in some ways because, even with exploration, we're
never going to be disturbing an entire lease.
At the end of the day, I think that we've
covered it off.
I mean, if we use the numbers that Dr. Komers
has come up with himself, that seismic exploration,
I think the number was subject to check, 3 percent
is the number he came up for the RSA, if you look
at that, and take into account that we haven't
included it in some cases but we've overcompensated
in others. And I can point you to a number of
examples if you'd like.
Q. Yes, please.
A. So let me just find my list here.
So within the Planned Development Case
currently -- sorry, just a sec. It's Cenovus
Borealis, Southern Pacific Phases I and II, Suncor
Mackay Expansion - Phase II, Sunshine Legend Lake,
Sunshine Thickwood - Phase I, Canadian Natural
Birch Mountain East, E-T Energy Poplar Creek.
Those are examples of entire leases that have been
blocked off as disturbance, and yet they are
in-situ that are not going to end up with the whole
leases disturbed.
So again, going back to Dr. Komers'

three percent, in all likelihood, what we're
looking at is something less than that. So if you
add that into the current disturbance that we have
identified in the Planned Development Case, it
doesn't add substantively to it.
Q. And I did hear you correctly a few moments ago when
you said it's a daunting task and you're not
actually able to gather the amount of seismic
exploration in winter drilling disturbance data; is
that correct, is that what you said?
A. I said in the future. Individual companies
certainly know what they've done, that can be
gathered, but --
Q. And did Shell gather that?
A. Sorry?
Q. Did Shell gather that information?
A. So we have gathered what we can, but we certainly
don't have what is publicly avail -- what isn't
publicly available.
And then again, in the Planned Development
Case moving forward, we also, as I indicated
earlier, that would be a very difficult task and
really there's a whole lot of uncertainty
associated with it.
When we're looking at seismic on any

individual lease, that's going to vary both
spatially as well as in extent depending on the
resource that they have underneath.
Q. So Shell's just kind of taken a guess that if they
include certain SAGD or in-situ leases as totally
disturbed, that will compensate for an unknown
number of winter drilling and seismic exploration
programs throughout the RSA?
A. No, I don't think we can say that we've just taken
a guess.
Q. Do you have something to say?
A. No.
Q. I saw the huddle. Okay.
So could you please explain, then, how Shell
arrived at the conclusion that by blocking off
certain SAGD leases as disturbed, it somehow
compensates for all of the linear disturbance that
may occur through seismic and winter drilling
programs in the Planned Development Case within the
entire RSA?
A. Well, I think we have to back up from that. I have
explained how we came to the conclusion, and I
wouldn't characterize it as a guess. Having said
that, again, we're talking about something
3 percent or less. And I would say it certainly is

less than that. Because, again, looking at that
3 percent that was used, that was by buffering all
of the seismic with 250 metres on either side with
complete avoidance of that area by wildlife, which
actually doesn't occur either.
Q. And are you aware of whether any linear
developments have been restored to pre-disturbance
conditions?
A. One minute please. So can you repeat the question
just to make sure we have it on the record?
Q. Are you aware of any linear development which has
been restored to pre-disturbance conditions?
A. So there are a number of programs going on in the
Regional Study Area, actually in the oil sands
region. Now, we're talking about that are
reclaiming seismic lines and cut lines. And we
certainly are -- the approach that's being taken is
to return them to what is on either side of the cut
lines, so if it's a Jackpine stand that the cut
line or the linear disturbance goes through, that
we're trying to replicate that, as well as a black
spruce bog, I know that there's work going on
there.
This is a program that's being carried out by
industry, what was OSLI, the Oil Sands Leadership

Initiative, and now is being carried on by COCIA
called "Faster Forests."
In addition, if you look at the extent of
seismic and linear, and particularly 3D seismic, on
the landscape, I've mentioned that that seismic is
meandering, it's very narrow, and in the cases
where it, let's say, crosses a wetland, these are
programs that are done in winter. And so
effectively, you know -- and it's a one-pass --
typically, it's a one-pass program, that winter,
and in one winter, sorry. And so from the
perspective of reclaiming those lines, they will
naturally grow in very quickly.
And so in that sense -- and then that's the
whole point of having that minimal disturbance for
those lines, is that they do come back quite
naturally themselves.
And I would argue that when it comes to
wetlands there actually isn't an impact even though
we have them within the disturbance footprint.
Q. So Dr. Jalkotzy, can you please give me some
specific examples of where things that regenerated
naturally and quickly to a pre-disturbance
condition?
A. Well, I would argue that whenever any seismic

line -- sorry, I'll back up. Any 3D seismic that's
minimal disturbance, the sort of 1.5 to 2.0, 2.5
metre lines, when they are crossing a wetland
that's frozen in the winter, that there isn't any
reclamation that needs to go on with that, that you
aren't going to have an impact past that one pass,
the disturbance at the time.
And in the case of forests, I know that I've
walked myself across cut line, these 3D seismic
lines, and given that they meander around large
trees, and I mean, there is mulching that goes on,
there's no soil disturbance, those grow in very
quickly. And I've seen that myself.
Q. And are you aware of the proportion of 3D seismic
that's employed compared to conventional seismic
within the RSA?
A. I'm sorry, are you talking about what's on the
landscape now, the future?
Q. What's on the landscape now, yes.
A. I don't know a specific number, but if you look at
the --

more common than conventional seismic.

few questions about the written undertaking that
was provided yesterday on the subject of the karst
geo-hazard, and I believe it would be for you,
Mr. Mayes.
So I'm just going to ask questions where I
feel like the undertaking didn't in fact answer
them.
So question one was to:
"Provide details on the
status of geo-hazard management,
(karst), in the Muskeg River and
Jackpine Mines and explain what
specific knowledge gained in those
mines Shell intends to transfer to
the geo-hazard management in the
proposed JME."
And the answer was:
"The geohazard management
assessments will be completed at
the Jackpine Mine Expansion in
future."

So could you please tell me when those will
be completed?
A. MR. MAYES: So if the Application for
the development is approved, then we would move to
complete those activities.
Q. So after approval?
A. Correct.
Q. Any sense of how long after approval?
A. Within one to two years after approval.
Q. And for Question number 2:
"Describe the specific data
sets that each investigative method
will generate and how these data
sets and methods complement each
other to yield mapping of the
Devonian features."
In your response, you listed a number of
investigative techniques. Do you have specific
data sets that will be generated from those?
A. So when subsurface techniques are used to determine
the structure, very, very considerable amounts of
raw data are developed. Huge volumes of data for
example come from 3D seismic techniques. That data

is then run through proprietary equations to
actually determine the exact nature of the
landforms beneath the surface, and then those
results are interpreted by professional engineers.
Q. So you're not able to tell us which data sets will
be generated?
A. We're talking about extremely large data sets that
flow from each of the investigative methods that
are listed, so I'm not sure specifically, you know,
what you're after.
Q. Okay. All right.
I'm moving on to, SIR 5b, question 2:
"Which oilsands companies
have agreed to share related data
(and for which locations) and will
those data be made available for
independent review."
And could you please answer the question of
whether these data will be made available for
independent review?
A. So as the answer indicates, Shell has entered into
agreements with a number of industry participants
to share our data with them and their data with us.

The reason for that is, the reason for entering
into those commitments is the data is extremely
expensive to obtain. So we're encouraging
companies to obtain data and then share it.
The data is shared with Alberta Energy and
the ERCB. We also have a panel of expert
independent people who have reviewed the data on
behalf of Shell. And so we consider that we have
involved independent third parties.
Q. And if ACFN were to have a consultant or expert who
wished to review that data, would it be made
available?
A. The raw data that would come from the various
techniques is made available to Alberta Energy and
can be obtained. So it's a matter of contacting
them. Unfortunately, however, the data is very
difficult to interpret in its raw form and requires
proprietary techniques to turn it into useful
information.
Q. And Question 4 was:
"What depth of buffer is left
in place in high risk areas?"
And I take it that Shell -- and the answer

was:
"That the depth of the
buffers is dependent on the nature
of the specifics of the identified
hazard."
So I take it that Shell hasn't yet turned its
mind to an appropriate depth of buffer because
Shell hasn't identified the hazards yet; correct?
A. So a hazard may have many forms, and it may present
a very small risk or a substantial risk. And so if
a decision is made to leave a buffer over that
hazard as a way of mitigating that risk, then that
is an option, but the depth of buffer that would be
left is directly dependent on the size of the risk.
So I can't give a generic answer. It depends on
the specific nature of that risk.
Q. And has Shell identified the risks present beneath
the JPME lease yet?
A. No. As I said, Shell will undertake the geo-hazard
protocol process on the JPME area after approval,
most likely within one to two years.

"Discuss the relative
effectiveness of intact native
in-situ material versus placed
capping deposits in inhibiting
water releases through the Devonian
layer."
And the answer was that both, you know, both
can be used to inhibit water releases, both options
are considered to be effective.
Are they considered to be equally effective?
A. Yes, so, you know, if a hazard is identified, and
we are then able to quantify the risk that that
hazard presents, possible solutions involve leaving
in-situ material in place or applying a capping
material either directly into the subsurface
passage or on top of the subsurface passage. Both
have equally competent ways of managing a
particular situation.
Q. Would it be easier to engineer leaving native
in-situ materials in place than trying to cap a
fracture that's already underwater?
A. Not necessarily, no.
Q. Okay.
A. If a fracture is already underwater, as is the case

in Cell 2A, placing capping materials on to the
fracture is not a particularly onerous task.
Leaving in-situ materials in place is likewise not
a particularly onerous task. It's really
situation-dependent.
Q. Okay, thanks. I'm moving on to SIR 5c, question 5:
"Provide evidence that
demonstrates that Shell's approach
in addressing the Cell 2A rupture
has been successful elsewhere
around the world."
And your answer refers to the U.S. Corps. of
Army Engineers and just that there's a broad
variety of this type of problem.
But I'm wondering if you can give concrete
examples of where the specific approach Shell has
employed has actually worked elsewhere.
A. So the specific approach that Shell has currently
employed in Cell 2A is to build dams around the
fracture point, or the passage point, and then
allow the water level to rise such that the
downward pressure equals the upward aquifer
pressure. We then placed construction material, so

earth and construction material, into the pond to
the point where the flow has ceased. That's a very
unique solution to the current Cell 2A issue.
We are currently drilling into the fracture
zones to get cores out of the fractures so that we
can determine what is the optimum way to seal it
long-term.
We have a range of techniques that could be
used. We could inject hot bitumen into the
fracture zone, we could inject cement, or a range
of polymer-type materials. All of those materials
are used throughout the world to seal tunnels and
mine passages.
And internet searches can quite simply find
hundreds of examples of those particular techniques
being used.
Q. And my last question is SIR 5d, question 10. And
the question was:
"Discuss the potential for
rupture contamination from the
Methy aquifer to affect the water
quality of pit lakes."

"Shell believes there's no
potential for contamination of
Shell's pit lakes due to ruptures
from the Methy aquifer."
And, sir, I'm wondering what empirical data
you can tell me supports Shell's belief.
A. So in the empirical data, in the history of the oil
sands mining industry, Shell and the other
companies that I mentioned or that are mentioned in
this document have not experienced a fracture
through the Devonian substrate to the point where a
passage of saline fluid has flowed. So the Cell 2A
event is unique in industry.
Our end pit lakes or end pit lake at the end
of a mine process will be constructed in areas that
will have been mined. If we have determined that
there's no passageways of fluid through the
Devonian substrate whilst we're mining, we are of
the belief that there would be no passage of saline
fluid through that substrate into any kind of lake
structure that's left at the end of mine closure.
Q. So it's just based on Shell's opinion?
A. You asked me for empirical evidence, so I gave you

CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MS. ZALIK:
Q. So the first question concerns the bird-monitoring
program at the University of Alberta that I believe
Mr. Martindale referred to. And I find the
document which was the 2011 report of that program
on CEAA but I'm not sure if it's for this Project,
because I couldn't find it in the file list. But
in any case, it was referred to in the Volume 4
documentation, 104 to 106, pages 104-106 of the
PDF.

So with regard to that report that was
prepared by the University of Alberta researchers,
according to the report, Shell hired Hatfield
Consultants at one point to carry out their
observations. Can you explain why Hatfield
Consultants was hired?
A. MR. MARTINDALE: First of all, I'd like to
find that report just to make sure that we're
talking off the same page.
Q. Sure. Okay.
A. So it's in the CEAA Registry?
Q. It is, but I'm not sure if it's for this
particular, for the JPME or for Pierre River.
A. This was the?
Q. It turns up as Appendix -- let me check.
A. The report I have here is the 2011 Annual Report
for the bird monitoring program.
Q. That's right.
A. Yes, this was prepared by Colleen St. Clair and her
team. So the question was?
Q. At one point Shell hired Hatfield Consultants and I
was just wondering if you could provide detail as
to why they were hired to conduct the program.
A. They were hired primarily as they were available.
And the office manager, Laura, is a Ph.D.

ornithologist and so we felt she would be able to
best select and train the staff to do the bird
monitoring.
Q. Okay. Just to specify, the report indicates that
Shell had been previously conducting those
observations and then Hatfield Consultants was
hired, so I'm wondering why a consultancy was hired
to carry out the observation?
A. Right. We initially did the observations with our
own staff and hired people to do that. But as the
season went through, we found it was probably
better to hire professional ornithologists. The
people we were using were the bird crew, so they
were very good at picking birds -- well, they were
the same people that chased the birds when they
landed on the pond, so they were -- they preferred
if they could keep to just chasing the birds and
leave the monitoring to professionals.
Q. Okay. There's a key finding that's identified on
page 3 of that report with regard to the bird
monitoring program.
A. In the Executive Summary?
Q. That's right. And it reads:
"Substantial variation in

bird detections was apparent among
operators. Whereas [University of
Alberta] observers detected an
average of over 50 individuals per
hour, Imperial, Shell and Suncor
clustered around 10 individuals per
hour, and CNRL and Syncrude
approached zero. Large variation
also occurred among operators in
the number of individuals recorded
for particular species, including
several species at risk (e.g., barn
swallow, horned grebe, lesser
scaup) and particularly common
species (e.g., the common raven,
mallard). Some of these
differences would be accounted for
by more extensive survey effort by
some observers and some might be
accounted for by actual variation
in bird presence among sites.
Substantial remaining variation
appears to be due to unintended
inter-observer variation."

So I'm just wondering if those variations
were one of the reasons why consultants were hired
to carry out the monitoring?
A. Well, as I indicated, we felt that it was better to
have people who were trained to do the work. We
still had the radar system which was detecting
birds and presence. But this monitoring program
was more about the intent was to catch the
fly-overs, the landings in the area of the various
ponds and waterbodies, so it wasn't just tailings
ponds, it was on lakes and that. And so our bird
crews typically are chasing the birds that would
land on the pond, so your ducks and geese, and
could probably identify to that. But barn swallows
and other birds that typically wouldn't land on a
tailings pond, they didn't identify, so it was
better to have people who could identify better.
Q. So you would agree with the finding of the report
that there was substantial variation in bird
detections between the operators and the University
of Alberta team?
A. Definitely, yes.
Q. Okay.
A. Yes.
Q. So this would suggest, then, that there would be

need for perhaps independent monitors to be
involved with conducting these kinds of
observations?
A. I believe that's -- independent isn't the problem,
it's how much they can identify the species that
you're looking for in this program. So the more
trained a person is to identify a flit and, you
know, how quickly they can identify the species,
that was the intent of this is to count numbers and
identify individual species. And so with a trained
person that's much easier to do and much better,
yes.
Q. One of the key recommendations of that report was
that there be a study of the inter-observer
variation?
A. Yes.
Q. So is there within the plans that Shell has for the
mine expansion funding for different kinds of
independent observers to be monitoring Shell's own
research with regard to waterfowl and other
species?
A. So as I mentioned earlier, this is a three-year
program that is being done, so for this next three
years, well, the next year, so this year's over,
they are looking at inter-site variation

and inter-lake and waterbody variation. And so at
the end of the three years, we're hoping that there
will be a risk assessment done. And so sites where
there's a higher risk, then you have a certain
deterrent and perhaps a certain amount of
observations. Perhaps at the end of the three
years, it will be confirmed that, well, so what if
we count a hundred birds flying overhead, they are
not landing, so it doesn't matter. So that's what
we're waiting for is at the end of the three years,
what will happen.
So what I can say is that Shell will conform
with any monitoring plan that is recommended at the
end of this program.
Q. So within the plans for the current Jackpine Mine
Expansion, is there contemplated or made available
funding for independent observation of Shell's
monitoring practices?
A. Well, that's part of this program.
Q. Yes, no, I'm not necessarily asking about the
program. Just leading from the program, given the
conclusions of the program, is that included in the
scope of what is proposed by Shell for monitoring,
that there would be independent monitors examining
their monitoring procedures?

A. Well, that's something we do on an annual basis, so
I don't, I don't budget -- there's no operating
budget for five years from now. If it's required,
it will be budgeted for and we will have the
appropriate people and deterrents in place.
Q. So at present it's not part --
A. At present it's not, but at present we're paying
for the independent monitors and the inter-variant
studies, yes.
Q. As among other funders, "to this project" you mean
this project at the University of Alberta?
A. So the University of Alberta, through the funding
that they have, they have monitors that are going
from site to site. We don't pay for them. But the
monitors like the Hatfield, we pay for them to do
the monitoring on our site, which is over and above
our normal monitoring and bird deterrents.
Q. But they are contracted by Shell, so it's not an --
A. That's right, Hatfield are contracted, yeah, right.
Q. And then I have an additional question with
relationship to the -- I had it right here,
actually -- this is the pamphlet that Shell
provides with regard to this Project, the Jackpine
Mine Expansion. I guess it's sort of the
informational material for the public at large.

So I'm just wondering at page 4, the
description that Shell has of possible energy
supply in 2050. Where does that information --
from where does that information derive?
A. MR. BROADHURST: So what we do globally from a
Royal Dutch Shell perspective is that we do a broad
scan of the future situation, what the supply
demand picture will look like. We gather
information from our own internal sources as well
as, as you know, there's a broad range of
independent studies that are done that are looking
at predicting future energy supply and demand, but
that's Shell's view, based on our own internal
assessment, as well as cross-checked to a number of
independent assessments.
Q. So the information that's presented here is Shell's
perspective on what the future consumption of
fossil fuels and nuclear versus renewables, how it
may appear in 2050?
A. And if you look at all of the independent
think-tank studies that are out there, what you'll
see is that that conclusion is very consistent.
Q. Well, there are some assessments as to what the
implications of that kind of breakdown would be for
climate change as well that are quite disturbing.

But I'm wondering, then, in this case, what
one would describe as "speculative information," is
that the corporate term that's used for information
that's not confirmed for future, is "speculative"
the correct word that's used in, you know, in
auditing?
A. Well, I think there's probably two points. One
would be a forecast or an estimate, and that's
usually based on some data and some analysis, which
is what we have in our Shell scenarios and the
information you were discussing. Speculation from
my perspective is where you don't have data and
you're just offering an opinion or potentially an
uninformed opinion. So what we have is we have
data-analysis-based views and that would be a
forecast.
Q. I just wanted to quickly read from a comment made
by one of the co-authors of some of the scenarios
from the 1990s who writes that:
"The scenario process

every major local or world event as
potentially located in a story, and
to make on-the-spot business and
policy decisions based on what they
know about where that story would

Thus the scenarios play an integral

Would you agree with that statement?
MR. DENSTEDT: Can we have the source?
MS. ZALIK: Sure. This is Robbie
Davis-Floyd. It's a 1998 publication in an edited

A. MR. BROADHURST: Okay, I don't have that

question?

this analysis of the -- of her analysis of the role

that the Shell scenarios play in the planning. So
she writes: "Shell managers" -- "The scenario
process teaches...", and then the next part is
direct citation:
"Shell managers to think

every major local or world event as
potentially located in a story, and
to make on-the-spot business and
policy decisions based on what they

Thus these scenarios play an
integral role in Shell's futures
planning."
A. Well, so it's a bit difficult without having the
context for the reference, but I've been a Shell
manager for over 30 years so maybe I can tell you
how we use scenarios and that may be useful in
terms of any discussion you'd like to have.
What Shell does is we do do scenario
planning. And what that's intended to do is it's
intended to get people away from having a

single-point view on how the world could unfold,
because there are so many factors that could come
into play that that becomes difficult. And so from
a scenario-planning point of view, what we do as
Shell senior managers is we try and identify what
might be divergent but plausible ways that the
world could unfold.
And our current scenarios within Shell, we
have what we call a scramble and a blueprint
scenario. The scramble scenario being one where,
on issues like climate change, for example, you
have disparate policies globally, you have
disparate responses by different governments and
different industries, and that wouldn't be our
preferred scenario.
And then we have a blueprint scenario that
looks at a world where people are much more focused
around common goals and able to put policy in place
that's aligned and aligned across country borders.
From a Shell senior manager's point of view,
where the scenarios are helpful is in trying to
understand, you know, what is actually happening
externally, how does that map to those scenarios
what we see, and what actions might we need to take
to be able to respond.

So if you think about coming closer to home
again, how those might influence us, one of the
things that we see is we see a need for Shell and
for industry to take leadership in the
environmental area. We don't see as much cohesion
from a policy point of view. And so that's why
we've been so focused on taking --
Q. Excuse me.
A. -- taking --
Q. Yeah.
A. Sorry, if I could just finish. Is that okay?
Q. Sorry, no, there was a word I didn't understand
that you said. That's why.
A. Yes, sorry, ask.
Q. But it was -- you said something about a policy
point of view. Was the word "cohesion" that you
had said?
A. Yes, "cohesive".
Q. "Cohesive". Okay.

think about, as senior leaders, how those scenarios
are playing out, it drives us to take decisions
that we think will position us most appropriately.
And that's why, for example, we've been really
focused on trying to work on things like the Oil
Sands Tailings Consortium, like OSLI, like COCIA,
where we see that we as industry, in the
environmental frame, can take a leadership
position, can work collaboratively with our local
governments and our local regulators because we
don't necessarily see that blueprint world, we see
more of a scramble world in the near term. And so
it drives us and instructs us and coaches us on how
we can take the necessary measures to make sure
that we're delivering the appropriate response.
So that's, again, your reference was
interesting, I'll have to pick that up and read it,
but that's as a senior leader in Shell for over 30
years, that's how we use scenarios.
Q. So with regard to the implications of this model
for the future of the oil sands, if, for instance,
investment was made that altered the picture that
is presented in the scenarios, that would affect
the demand for the product of the Jackpine Mine
Expansion, for instance the various fuel standards

that are currently in discussion in Europe and by
mayors in the U.S. with regard to oil sands, that
would affect the possible demand for the Project?
A. Yes, so there can be changes that alter forecasts.
And, of course, the further out in time that one
goes, the more potential there is for the band to
broaden on a given forecast. I think when you're
looking at the, coming back to your original
question on the demand forecast, what do we think,
do we think demand is going to be increasing and by
how much. I think that in the near term, there's
very high confidence that the demand is going to be
increasing. I think within the next number of
decades there's a fairly tight prediction on what
that range might be. If you're looking at much
longer than that, then I would agree with you that
the uncertainty gets a bit broader.
Q. And so there is then the possibility that public
pressure could alter the way in which these
projects unfold, so it's not industry might want to
take a leadership role, but ultimately it's a
broader sort of democratic process that would
determine what the outcome would be of energy
future decision-making, would Shell agree with
that, that it's not up to industry but it's part of

a process of sort of democratic discussion within
Canada?
A. Well, I think the market always is the determiner
of what happens. And what we see in the market
today is there's a very significant market for our
hydrocarbon products, which would be derived from
the production from a Jackpine Mine Expansion for
example.
We at Shell see a need to shift to a lower
carbon future, and you can see that in all of our
strategies and approaches, we're shifting to more
natural gas, which has a lower carbon footprint,
we're very active in renewables, particularly in
biofuels. But at the end of the day, our view, and
it is us at the end of the day that takes the
economic risk with an investment like the Jackpine
Mine Expansion, it's our view that that demand for
the products will be there. Although as a company,
we're quite focused on doing our part in shifting
to a lower carbon portfolio products.
Q. So the risk is assumed by Shell, you're saying, for
these projects. If, for instance, there was a
delay to this Project, or to the Pierre River
project, that would affect Shell's competitiveness
or Shell's share value potentially internationally

if that were to receive a certain kind of coverage
in the financial press?
A. Now you're probably asking me to speculate because
you're asking me to predict what the stock market
is going to do, and if I could do that, I probably
wouldn't be here.
But the economic drivers for Shell will be
ultimately determined by the market. Delays in the
Jackpine Mine Expansion approval would be
problematic for us because, as we indicated from
the beginning with our Opening Statement, that the
Jackpine Mine Expansion is truly an expansion of
the existing Jackpine Mine and we need to have that
regulatory certainty to be able to make sure that
the Integrated Mine Plan that we have is as robust
and as optimized as it can be. So it's very
important that we get the approval for regulatory
certainty. It is an expansion to an existing mine.
And the Project that we're looking to bring on with
that expanded mining area, adding additional
production, we would like to see the ability to
execute that in a timely fashion so that, as we
discussed, we can take advantage of being able to
roll the expertise and retain the expertise for
being able to advance this type of development.

Q. But there have been examples of Shell projects
recently being cancelled in North America due to
public pressure. For instance, the Shell liquified
natural gas project in Baja California, Mexico,
Shell pulled out of that project in part due to
public pressure. So Shell is also responsive to
the views of the broader public with regard to its
activities?
A. Well, I can't speak to the specific project that
you identified. I wouldn't know directly --
Q. But is Shell responsive to public pressure with
regard to its activities? That's the question.
It's a simple question.
A. Shell answer? Yeah, okay, good. So Shell is very
responsive to the public. And the public drives
the market demand for our products. I think that
what you have seen from Shell is a company that's
very focused on moving towards sustainable
development, is a company that does make
adjustments, that does look to respond to the
market demands as reflected by the public. I think
the term "public pressure" is probably not the
correct term in terms of how we would look at
things. We would look at our stakeholders, the
market, and input from the public around what their

demand profiles are going to look like. Those will
be the things that help us in making sure that
we're making good economic decisions that are of
course balanced with environmental and social
needs.
Q. So the broader implications of the scenarios, then,
could alter, could change, that what's presented
here in your pamphlet is not definitive, it's a
projection based on Shell's internal analysis?
A. So if you're asking specifically about the Jackpine
Mine Expansion --
Q. Specifically about this page, page 4 of the
pamphlet.
A. So if you're asking specifically around projections
for future markets and energy supply demand, I
think anyone would have to say that things are
going to be subject to change. But what you have
there is a very well-grounded forecast based on
data and based on projections on market trends for
what we think the requirements are going to be.
None of that would alter the fact that the Jackpine
Mine Expansion is the natural extension of the
current Jackpine Mine, and should proceed.
Q. Okay, thank you.
A. Thank you.

MS. ZALIK: Thank you very much.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is Ms. Zalik (sic) for Sierra
Club Prairie present? Sorry, Ms. Flook. I beg
your pardon. Ms. Flook, do you have an estimate of
how long you were planning to be?
MS. FLOOK: Well, I have about eight or
nine questions, so maybe a minute or two each,
maybe about 10, 20 minutes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Let's do that and then we'll
take our coffee break.
MS. FLOOK: Thirty minutes max,
hopefully, if it's all crystal clear.
CROSS-EXAMINATION BY SIERRA CLUB PRAIRIE, BY MS. FLOOK:
Q. MS. FLOOK: Hi there. Thank you for
having me everyone here. This is my first time at
a panel, so I don't know what to expect, but I'm
really excited to be part of these processes and
hearings, as they are still public.
So we just had a couple questions for Shell
with regards to the Jackpine Mine Expansion and the
sort of Information Requests that we provided
around accidental tailings dams breaches. So we

were hoping to ask first of all to the Shell
witnesses whether they agree that the Terms of
Reference for the Jackpine Expansion Project
require that:
"In considering the
environmental effects of
malfunctions and accidents, the
Joint Review Panel should include
potential malfunctions or accidents
associated with the following
components..."
And it lists, you know, "tailings management;
waste management and disposal", that sort of thing.
A. MR. KOVACH: Yes, Shell would agree with
that.
Q. Okay, thank you.
And so we're also wondering if Shell would
agree that the Terms of Reference also state that:
"The environmental assessment
should consider the sensitive
elements of the environment (e.g.,
communities, homes, natural sites

of interest, areas of major use)
that may be affected in the event
of an accident or major
malfunction. The environmental
assessment should consider the
likelihood of occurrence of such
accidents or malfunctions."
Is that correct?
A. Yes, we agree.
Q. And do you acknowledge that Shell admits in its
Environmental Impact Statement that:
"The magnitude of effects on
the environment from an External
Tailings Disposal Area, or ETDA,
dyke failure would be massive as
there would be persistent, severe
environmental effects that could
lead to loss of commercial or
recreational use and loss of
natural resources over a wide
area."
A. Yes, could you give me the page. That sounds

right, but I would just like to check.
Q. I don't have the page right here. I had to borrow
someone else's laptop. No, I don't have it right
in front of me, actually. Sorry. But we pulled
that out.
MR. DENSTEDT: Why don't we move on based on
a subject to check and see if we can keep things
moving.
MS. FLOOK: Sure, okay.
Q. Because we were concerned about the Joint Review
Panel which issued a Supplementary Information
Request 33, which requested that Shell:
"Provide an analysis of the
environmental effects to sensitive
elements of the environment, of all
accidents and malfunctions listed
in the May 2011 submission."
And:
"Sensitive elements of the
environment [are stated to]
include, but are not limited to,
communities, homes, natural sites

of interest, areas of major use,
species at risk, protected areas,
and high-value wildlife areas that
may be affected in the event of an
accident or a major malfunction."
So are you aware of the Supplementary
Information Request 33 which requested that kind of
analysis?
A. Yes, we are, and we responded to it.
Q. Okay. So I just wanted to take us briefly through
that Response, Supplementary Information
Request 33.
Does the response itemize and describe any of
the sensitive environment, or sensitive elements of
the environment described in SIR 33, for example,
does the response describe the communities in the
Athabasca valley, the natural sites of interest,
the species at risk?
A. Yes, I think what would be helpful if we start, if
I point you to Table 33-1 on page 3-94 of the May
2012 Submission. And so if we look under the -- I
don't know -- I'll let you get that out. Sorry.
Q. Sorry, what was that page again?
A. 3-94. And if you have a PDF, I think it's 111.

Q. Okay, yes.
A. So if we look at that Table, you'll see that the
column title is:
"Local Communities and
Trapper Cabin Receptors; Culturally
Important Natural Sites of
Interest, Areas of Major Use or
Protected Area Receptors; Species
at Risk; and Wildlife Key Indicator
Resources."
And then we list under those columns what we
believe those include.
Q. Right, I was looking at that this morning. Okay.
Did Shell undertake any such itemization and
description of the sensitive elements of the
environment requested by the Panel?
A. Yes, that's what we believe we've provided.
Q. And what analysis was done of the environmental
effects of a tailings containment failure on these
sensitive elements of the environment?
A. MR. SPELLER: Yes, so in SIR 33, what we
looked at for the sensitive receptors are
directions of if there was a failure, where the

failure would occur, what would be in the path of
that failure in terms of the sensitive receptors,
and then we estimated what the potential effects
would be, and then provided that in this
qualitative assessment.
Q. Okay, could you describe some of those effects on
the communities and on the wildlife that you
enumerated in that response for us, just briefly.
It's just a bit of a Sierra Club Prairie's concern
that the communities themselves were listed but not
necessarily what those impacts or adverse effects
would be.
A. So I'll point to Table 33-2. So this is
Table 33-2, page 3-96, page 113 out of 169 of the
PDF.
Q. Okay. Yes.
A. So what you'll see in that row of where we talk
about the ETDA dyke failure, are the "Local
Communities and Trapper Cabins" where we believe
there could be a potential effect and what that
would be. So we see there would be no effects in
Fort Chip. For Fort McKay, on the leases that are
adjacent, there's potential for there to be the
effect because they are directly adjacent to the
lease. And then for the different waterbodies that

are there, you see where they are listed, what
those effects are. And then on the next page of
that, you'll see the "Linkages and Magnitude" of
the effects of the "Wildlife Receptors" as well for
that zone for different species.
Q. Well, that pretty much wraps up some of our
concerns on our side of things, but I think it's
just curious to assume, you know, in the worst-case
scenario of a massive tailings breach that there
wouldn't be some kind of impact on community
members up there or wildlife in the sort of view of
a holistic view of Treaty Rights in particular, and
the practice thereof. And so that's one of our
concerns that we wanted to raise here with the
panel. And I thank you for your answers. I don't
know if you had any further responses at this
point.
A. MR. ROBERTS: Maybe I'll take that. I
don't think we dispute that the impact of a
tailings dam breach would be significant from an
environmental effect. In fact, we probably think
that it's an industry killer. So it gets a
significant amount of attention from Shell and from
the other operators in the region. And I can
assure you that we go through a significant amount

of effort to ensure that we put the preventive
measures in place so that an event does not occur
so that we don't have to deal with the
consequences. And maybe I'll just cover off the
various things we do:
Our tailings containment is designed
according to the Dam Safety Guidelines from the
Canadian Dam Safety Association from which the
basis of dam safety regulations in Canada and
Alberta come from;
Our design is approved by Alberta
Environment, the Dam Safety Branch, and the ERCB;
Our dams are designed and constructed and
assured independently via independent external
review panels who meet generally about three times
a year to review our dam designs;
Our tailings dam operation, maintenance and
surveillance is done in accordance with the Mining
Association of Canada's Tailings Management
Protocols, which require annual audits;
We are audited by Shell audit as well,
because we view -- a tailings dam breach is viewed
as one of the more significant events that we can
have within the Royal Dutch Shell;
We have our insurance auditors bring in

world-class experts to independently review our dam
designs, our operation and maintenance;
They are reviewed annually by the ERCB,
complete with field tours observing our
construction and monitoring activities;
We do monitor our tailings dykes on a
24/7-365 basis;
And last but not least, our dams, unlike our
tailings ponds, unlike some others around the
world, have no watershed catchment area, so what
goes into our tailings facility is pumped, with the
exception of precipitation, so if you have a heavy
rainfall event or that sort of thing, we're not
collecting precipitation and fluid from a large
catchment area.
So that's one of the reasons why we design
our facilities the way they are so we can
accommodate those.
So that's on the prevention side.
In the unlikely event that a breach would
occur, we have undertaken breach inundation
studies. That forms the basis of the Emergency
Response Plans that we have and the Emergency
Preparedness Plans and the Emergency Response
Guide, which are all required by Alberta Public

Safety Services Act, the Disaster Services Act, and
the Alberta Water Act. So those Emergency Response
Plans which comprise the Emergency Preparedness
Plan and the Emergency Response Guide are shared
with our stakeholder emergency response agencies,
both municipal and First Nations and Aboriginal
groups. So they have those.
And there would be the expectation is a
coordinated effort in a response to a breach.
And furthermore, because this is one of the
major events that we would have globally and
certainly for our site, we actively undertake
simulations to ensure that our responses are
appropriate and we are trained and understand what
is required of us in the unlikely event that a
breach would occur.
Q. Thank you.
A. And just to give you an idea of what the magnitude
might be, I'll share some of the figures of the
worst-case scenario that we have right now that
we've modelled. You would see a peak flow on the
Athabasca River at Fort McKay at 1.65 metres. And
that would occur about six hours after the breach.
So that's well within the range of the flood levels
that you would expect from the Athabasca River.

Q. And of the preventive measures that you listed, are
those publicly disclosed, you know, the sort of
surveillance and the safety audits and things like
that?
A. The ones we have with the public regulators, they
would have records of those.
Q. And then likewise on the reactive, on the Emergency
Preparedness Plans, you said you shared some of
that information with Municipalities and First
Nations. I guess one of our concerns from, and
we'll be discussing this later on in the week, is
the extent to which this information is publicly
disclosed for the public's view to then be part of
that evaluative process of whether the public
thinks that these types of structures are sound and
in our own interest as they do eventually become
the public's again.
A. So you can appreciate why we retain these documents
confidential; as you could use these documents to
review the integrity, one could also use those
documents for mischief, understanding how you might
create mischief in our ability to contain tailings.
Q. I don't really know about that. But any ways, I'll
think we'll leave that to next week, the discussion
there. I sort of think that having accumulative

170-square-kilometres of toxic tailings in Alberta
leaves us open to a lot of mischief. And I think
the more information we can get publicly disclosed
it will be in the public's interest.
And that's it from me. Thank you for your
time today. Won't hold anyone back from our coffee
and tea break. Thank you so much. We'll be back

BY MR. LAMBRECHT:
Q. I would like to begin with some housekeeping.
During my cross-examination, I'll be referring to
Binder 1 of the Environmental Impact Statement.
It's Exhibit 001-001A, CEAA Registry document 7. I
have provided counsel for the Panel and
Mr. Denstedt, counsel for Shell, with two other
documents that I'll be referring to. And I'll ask
them to be marked as an exhibit at an appropriate
point in the cross-examination.
You're welcome to provide them now if you
wish. My colleague has copies for other counsel
who might want a copy. They are free to come up
here and obtain them from Mr. Elford.
Mr. Broadhurst, I think it might be prudent
if you had the first of those before you. And
that's the first binder.
A. MR. BROADHURST: Yes.
Q. Of the Environmental Impact Statement. I don't
know if you're working from a digital copy or a
hard copy.
A. So are you talking about the Application binder or
one of the Environmental Impact Assessment binders?

you, Mr. Broadhurst. So I'll ask you to turn to a
tab that no one else has questioned you on, which
is Tab 14, Business Plan.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And I would like to ask you a series of questions
related to what is described here as "Shell's
Integrated Project Management System." There's an
acronym for that, iPMS. I'm not sure how you might
pronounce the acronym.
A. We just say it's iPMS.
Q. Okay. So let's talk about iPMS, then. Could you
describe what that is, please.
A. The Integrated Project Management System is really
a system designed to ensure that, as we're doing
different phases of a project development, that
we're conducting the appropriate scope of work and
providing the appropriate assurance. What we have
done within Shell is we've recently updated to what
we call ORP, we love our acronyms, Opportunity
Realization Process. Very similar, just slightly
different terminology in terms of phases, so

perhaps I'll use that just to describe to you how
it works.
And essentially what we do is we look at any
opportunity. We look at going through a series of
steps, the first thing we would do is we would look
at identifying do we have an opportunity, do we
think there's something that is worthy of being
pursued further.
Then we would go through a phase of what we
call "assess." And that's where we would look at a
range of options or alternatives, and that's
similar to what we talked about in the Project
Application when we talk about "alternatives
considered."
Then we would go to a select phase where
we're actually choosing the concept and taking it
to the point of having a basis of design.
And then we would go to a defined phase where
we're doing the more detailed engineering prior to
being in a position to assure that work and take an
investment decision.
So that's generally the way the process
works, it's just a series of steps that provide the
work to allow you to take progressive decisions
moving towards an ultimate investment decision.

Q. Now, your position with Shell Canada is that of
Vice President for Heavy Oil Development?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And the Applicant, Shell Canada, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Dutch multinational?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. So I take it that the annual reports for Shell
Canada are rolled up into the annual reports of the
international corporation?
A. Yes. As an operating company, our results and our
input would go into the broader Royal Dutch Shell
to be consolidated into that annual RDS report.
Q. All right. Now, if I can refer you to page 14-1,
under the general heading "Project Management
Governance System," it indicates that:
"The iPMS uses a gating
philosophy [to move] from phase to
phase, with clearly defined
deliverables..."
At each phase. Now, I take it that the
obtaining of the permits necessary for the Shell
Jackpine Mine Expansion are one of the deliverables
within iPMS. Would you agree with that?

A. Yes. Obtaining regulatory certainty is an absolute
critical requirement prior to taking investment
decision.
Q. Yes. Exactly. And just to make absolutely clear,
I want to confirm that obtaining those approvals is
done before what is described as a "final
investment decision" is taken.
A. Yes, we want to have our major approvals in place,
to have regulatory certainty. Just to be very
clear, when we're executing the large developments,
there then continues to be a series of permits and
licences that one needs to acquire, but it's the
predominant major approvals like the ERCB approval
that would be a requirement.
Q. So let me then ask you to turn to Tab 1 of this
binder, which is the Overview. And I'd like to ask
you to turn, please, to page 1-6.
A. Yes.
Q. And under the heading at the top "Resource
Development Approach (cont'd)," there are a number
of bullets, but below the bullet, the three bullets
in that continued heading, the following appears,
it says:
"Final investment decisions

will be dependent on future product
pricing, construction and operating
cost forecasts and the availability
of human resources to execute the
plans. The nature, stability and
impact of federal and provincial
fiscal regimes will also be
considered."
Do you see that?
A. Yes.
Q. So what I want to explore with you, please, is a
definition of which of the many approvals that are
required for this Project under Federal and
Provincial legislation are preconditions to a final
investment decision by Shell. So that's the
general area that I want to explore. Before we get
there, however, I want to ask you some questions
about the joint, the nature of the joint venture
decision-making.
I understand that Shell operates in the
Athabasca Oil Sands Region through a joint venture
arrangement with other partners. Shell is the
operating partner, I take it, in the joint venture?
A. That's correct. Our joint venture has three

partners, it's Shell, Chevron and Marathon. And
Shell is the operator and the project
administrator.
Q. And that joint venture is described as COPA?
A. The joint venture is described as AOSP, Athabasca
Oil Sands Project.
Q. Yes, thank you. Got that mixed up.
Now, does Shell make the final investment
decision when the time comes, at that future point,
or will all of the joint venture partners need to
make a final investment decision so that the
Project would not proceed until all of them have
made such a decision?
A. Yes, indeed. It is a joint venture, and all three
owners would need to be supportive of proceeding
with a project of the nature of Jackpine Mine
Expansion.
Q. All right.
Now, with respect to Shell particularly, will
the final investment decision be taken at the board
level of the subsidiary, the Canadian Shell, or at
the board level of the international parent
company?
A. We have within Royal Dutch Shell a set of financial
authorities and that would govern at what level the

decision gets taken. And so a decision of this
nature would be one that would go to the level of
the Chief Executive Officer for Royal Dutch Shell.
Q. May I ask you, please, to turn to page 1-25 in the
binder. That's still under Tab 1, the Overview,
and this is Section 1.4 that deals with regulatory
approvals.
A. Yes.
Q. Now, was this prepared under your general
direction?
A. Yes, it was.
Q. I note when reviewing it that the approvals that
are required for the Project are characterized as
"primary."
A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. And "ancillary."
A. Yes.
Q. So you'll see the primary approvals listed in
Table 1-1. And you will see ancillary approvals
listed at the bottom of page 1-26 and carrying on
to 1-27.
I'd like to ask you, please, to describe what
the distinction is between a primary approval and
an ancillary approval.
A. Certainly. The primary distinction between the two

characterizations would be that the primary
approvals are generally focused around the broad
development, so if we look at the Oil Sands
Conservation Act approval or the EPEA approval,
that's the broader Jackpine approval. If you look
at, for example, the ancillary lease, or list, what
we have in there is, for example, the 35-2 would be
an example where it is a very important approval,
but it is very focused in one particular area of
the Project. So that would be the general
distinction when we prepared the summary.
Q. Now, my understanding is that for a project of this
magnitude that will operate over many decades, that
there is some potential for approvals to be
obtained over the course of the lifetime of the
project?
A. That's correct.
Q. So how do you distinguish between those approvals
that inform the primary investment decision, the
final investment decision, and those that do not?
A. That's a very good question. And I was particular
in choosing my words earlier when we talked about
the fact that what we need at the investment
decision is regulatory certainty or a degree of
regulatory certainty. To your point, if you had to

have absolute certainty that every approval you
needed to receive throughout a 30-to-50-year-life
project, which is what the oil sands projects
typically tend to be, then you would never be in a
position to support an investment.
At the end of the day, it is the owners that
take the risk when they make that investment
decision. It's their choice on how much regulatory
certainty is enough regulatory certainty. And
that's why we have a bit of a distinction where we
do focus on kind of the main scheme approvals as
being most critical to that decision. And then
ancillary approvals and over-life approvals as
being something that each owner would take a
judgment on whether they feel they have sufficient
regulatory certainty to proceed or not; again,
because it is them that's taking the investment
risk.
Q. So let's look at the chart that is at Table 1-1 on
page 1-25.
A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. I see here that you are requesting an amendment to
Approval 9756, which had been issued by what was
then known as the Energy and Utilities Board of
Alberta, for the Shell Jackpine Mine; is that

correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. All right. Now, just for greater certainty, if you
could turn to tab 19 of this binder, we're going to
come back to the chart, and I'll ask you to do this
for some of the other approvals that are in the
chart, but if you turn to tab 19, I think that the
EUB approval is located here, as I understand it,
at page 19-63 as attachment 19-1. Please take your
time.
A. Yes, I have it.
Q. Yes, can you confirm that this is the approval that
you are asking the ERCB component of this Joint
Review Panel to amend?
A. That is the base approval.
Q. All right. Now, let's go back to the chart. The
second one in the chart is described as an "EPEA
10-year operating approval," and it's listed as
having approval number 153125-00-00 as amended. Do
you see that?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. All right. Now, there are three of these types of
approvals that are under Tab 19. So if you go,
again, please, to tab 19. I had taken you to the
list of attachments, which is at page 19-63.

A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. And I had referred you earlier to attachment 19-1,
which is the EUB approval.
A. Right.
Q. Now, there are three other attachments here, 19-2,
19-3, and 19-4, and these are described as EPEA
approval 153125-00-01 and -02 respectively. Are
these the EPEA approvals as amended that are
referred to in the second row of the chart?
A. So I just need to check with one of my colleagues.
There may have been some amendments since the
original application, so just let me just check for
a moment.
Q. Yes, take your time.
A. So my colleague's opinion is the same as mine, that
we think that these are the state of the EPEA
approvals. If there were any amendments since this
point in time, then it would be those that are
referred to, but at this panel, we don't have
specific knowledge on any amendments.
A. MR. MARTINDALE: So we do have a couple
more amendments over the ones on the list. There's
a 03 and a 04.
Q. Where can these be found?
A. They would be on the Alberta Environment web page.

Q. Now, I want to confirm a point that I view as very
important: The EPEA approval does not come from
this Panel or from the ERCB component of this
Panel. Is that your understanding?
A. MR. BROADHURST: That's correct. Historically
that would have been issued through Alberta
Environment.
Q. And that approval follows the issuance of this
Panel's report in time; is that correct?
A. That is.
Q. Now let met take you back to the chart at
page 1-25. I'm going to ask you to look,
Mr. Broadhurst, at the third row on that chart, And
this is the Water Act amendment and renewal. I did
not see that in Tab 19. Is it included in the
materials that Shell has provided?
A. So I'm going to ask Mr. Kovach to comment on that.
A. MR. KOVACH: Yes, it is provided. I think
we go to Section 10, that's where we applied for
our Water Act applications. But before you go
there, forgive me, I need a minute to look. I know
there was an errata on that, and we provided an
errata.
Q. Yes, please take your time.

Now, Mr. Broadhurst, again I want to return
to the sequence of the regulatory approvals and I
want to confirm my understandings that the renewal
and amendment of the Water Act licence that
Mr. Kovach kindly provided the reference to will
follow in time the issuance of this Panel's report?
A. MR. BROADHURST: That's correct.
Q. All right. This might be a convenient moment to
refer to the Opening Statement that you gave.
A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. Now, I noticed, Mr. Broadhurst, that although you
read that in, it was posted on the Shell Canada

Expansion. I see you have it in front of you.

"existing EUB approval." Would you agree with
that?
A. That's the approval basis, yes.
Q. And so that's the document that we looked at as
attachment 19-1?
A. So that would be the base document that's in the
Application. Based on the numbering in the Opening
Statement, it reflects that there has been an
amendment.
Q. All right. I had asked you for the amendments to
the EPEA approvals and I took you to what I
understand might be the initial EUB licence. Am I
to understand that there have been some amendments
to that EUB licence and that the one that is at
attachment 19-1 that we looked at might not be the
current one?
A. Yes, as I'd indicated, that was the base document.
I didn't have specific knowledge on amendments. I
wanted to be clear on that. And the numbering in
the Opening Statement suggests amendments.
Q. So could I ask you to undertake to produce the
amendments to the EUB or ERCB licences that
currently exist which you seek amendment of from
this Panel in its ERCB capacity?
A. Yes, most certainly.

Q. That concludes the exploration of the approval, the
first bullet.
The second bullet, I understand, are the EPEA
approvals, and we've discussed that?
A. M'mm-hmm. Yes.
Q. All right. The third bullet refers to the Water
Act approval. And we've discussed that?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Now, the remaining bullets talk about other
approvals. And your Application contains
significant details in relation to those. I don't
want to take you through them in detail,
Mr. Broadhurst, but I have to ask you an important
question, and that is are you able to say today
which of these for Shell will be required before
Shell makes a final investment decision?

A. So when I look at the list, and again it comes down
to the owners' decisions at the time of making an
investment and their comfort or confidence from a
regulatory certainty point of view. The other one
on that list that of course is critically
important, as are they all, would be the Fisheries
Act 35(2) approval.
Q. So let me use leading questions here.
Would it be fair to say, and would you agree
with me, that before Shell takes a final investment
decision for the Jackpine Mine Expansion Project,
it will require at least to have the amendment to
the ERCB licence, the amendment to the EPEA
approvals, the amendment to the Water Act approval,
and the Fisheries Act authorization?
A. And the only comment I would -- so I would say yes
to the first three. And the only comment I would
make on the 35(2) approval would be that that's one
that we may take a judgment view on based on our
engagement with the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans and how comfortable we are that ultimately
we're going to be able to satisfy the regulator and
seek and obtain an approval.
Q. All right, thank you. This might be an appropriate
time to ask you to look at the Annual Report.

MR. LAMBRECHT:
Q. Now, Mr. Broadhurst, I'm going to be taking you to
different passages of this document at later parts
of my examination, but the pages that I want to
refer to now are 13, 14, 15, and 16. These
describe "risk factors." And I'm going to ask you
to examine these pages and to confirm whether this
is a general description of the risk factors that
Shell would take and take into consideration before
making a final investment decision for the Shell
Jackpine Mine Expansion Project?
A. If you'll just give me a moment to have a scan
through. It's been some time since I've looked at
the Annual Report.

Thank you. I've gone through the list.
Q. Would you agree with me that in general terms, from
a corporate level, these illustrate the risk
factors that may influence a decision by Shell, and
I'm speaking here of the parent corporation because
of your evidence that it is the parent corporation
that would make the final investment decision for
this Project, that this, from a general way, are
the types of risk factors that Shell will consider
when making a final investment decision for this
Project?
A. So, to be clear, I think what we have here is a
list of factors that Shell takes into account in
managing its overall business, its overall
portfolio. New capital investments are part of the
business that we undertake, however, these factors
that are identified in here would also apply to our
existing operating base. So with that qualifier,
they are definitely factors that would be
considered for as aspects of our business.
Q. May I take it that that is a general agreement with
my proposition?
A. Yes, a general agreement. I just wanted to qualify
that some of the points that are made, some of the
factors that are identified, may apply more to an

operating entity rather to a project decision.
Q. That's fair. Thank you.
Now, that completes the examination that I
wanted to ask you about how the Integrated Project
Management System fits into the permitting system.
But I want, before I leave this point, to talk
about the relationship of this to leases. So could
you please turn to page 1-5 of Volume 1.
A. M'mm-hmm. Yes, sir, I have it.
Q. Figure 1-4 shows "Athabasca Oil Sands Lease
Holdings". Do you see that figure?
A. Yes, I do.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Mr. Dilay, is the Panel with
me on this?
THE CHAIRMAN: I think so, sir.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Thank you, sir.
Q. So I understand that the leases in red are the
leases that will comprise the Jackpine Mine
Expansion Project; is that correct?
A. That's correct.
Q. All right. Now, have you produced these leases in
your Application materials?
A. Have we provided copies of the lease documents in
the Application, was that the question?
Q. Yes.

A. Not to my knowledge, no.
Q. All right. Would you be willing to do so?
A. If I can just take a moment, please. So, thank you
for your patience.
On the surface, it would seem that it's a
reasonable request. What I would need to do is
just check with my Land Department to see if
there's any reasons or restrictions from a
confidentiality point of view as to why we may not
be able to provide copies.
Q. That's fair.
MR. DENSTEDT: So why don't we undertake to
go back and check to see whether there's any
confidential matters related to those leases and if
there aren't, provide those leases to
Mr. Lambrecht. And if there are confidential
pieces, perhaps we could redact those pieces.
MR. LAMBRECHT: I'm very happy with that.
UNDERTAKING 16: MR. BROADHURST TO GO BACK AND
CHECK TO SEE WHETHER THERE ARE ANY CONFIDENTIAL
MATTERS RELATED TO THE LEASES, AND, IF THERE ARE
NOT, PROVIDE THOSE LEASES TO MR. LAMBRECHT. ALSO,
IF THERE ARE CONFIDENTIAL PIECES REGARDING THAT
INFORMATION, TO REDACT THOSE PIECES OF INFORMATION

Q. MR. LAMBRECHT: In a very general way,
Mr. Broadhurst, the point that I want to get at,
which I think will be confirmed by the clauses of
the leases when produced, and which will not be
caught by any confidentiality provisions if they
exist, is that these mineral leases require
compliance with law as it may exist from time to
time in the future, and that obtaining the leases
does not confer upon Shell or its joint venture
partners the right to make a final investment
decision without obtaining the approvals that we
discussed earlier in my examination.
So I think that will become apparent from an
examination of the leases themselves. And I would
not expect that to be confidential. So I thank you
for the undertaking.
All right. Mr. Broadhurst, I'm going to turn
now to a new area of examination.
A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. And it flows from a reference in the Annual Report,
Exhibit 005-024, which appears at page 53.
Ms. Jefferson, I think some of this might
come to you. I'm going to direct my questions to
Mr. Broadhurst initially, but I want to give you

some notice that this might fall into your realm.
I'm looking now in the Annual Report in
page 53 under the heading "Neighbouring
Communities." Do you see that, Mr. Broadhurst?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. Would you mind taking a moment to look at it.
A. Yes, thank you. Yes, thank you.
Q. Now, you spent quite a bit of time in the
presentation that you gave talking about what was
described as the "good neighbour approach" that
Shell took. I understand that that is generally
addressed in this heading of the Annual Report.
Would you agree with that?
A. Yes, it's definitely aligned with this.
Q. Right. And so there's two things here that I want
to confirm by way of general principle and then I
want to explore in the Application of the Jackpine
Mine and the Jackpine Mine Expansion.
So the first point is that the approach
evolves as you learn from your experiences.
A. Yes, I think Ms. Jefferson explained how the
consultation process works, and that through the
engagement, as you get feedback from your
neighbours, from the groups that you're consulting
with, then you'll be able to adjust your approach

and improve it as you move forward.
Q. And so the second general point that I wanted to
make is that this is a corporate initiative
described in the Annual Report as "social
performance," sometimes it's described in the
literature as a "social responsibility." So my
understanding, and I would ask you to confirm this,
is that Shell would apply this approach even if it
were not duplicated by government policy or
regulatory requirement?
A. So we've been very consistent throughout our
history, certainly in the Athabasca Oil Sands
Project, that we want to engage with our
neighbours, and we've had Good Neighbour Policies
and approaches since the mid-1990s. And, of
course, that was prior to Shell Canada becoming
part of Royal Dutch Shell. So it's very much
something that is part of our culture in terms of
how we think we need to deal with our stakeholders
and our neighbours.
Q. All right. So then let's look at the application
of this approach in the context of the Shell
operations in the oil sands region with respect to
the Jackpine Mine and the Jackpine Mine Expansion,
please.

Now, Mr. Broadhurst, were you in your
position when the application was made for the
Shell Jackpine Mine, what we now know as the Shell
Jackpine Mine, the operating mine?
A. Yes, I was.
Q. And, Ms. Jefferson, were you in your position at
that time?
A. MS. JEFFERSON: Yes, I was.
Q. So were you involved in the accommodations that
were reached with the Athabasca Chipewyan First
Nation, the Mikisew Cree First Nation, and the Fort
McKay First Nation and Métis Local that are
documented in the Joint Review Panel Report for
Shell Jackpine?
A. Can we just go back a minute. When you asked was I
in the position, was it for the original Jackpine
Mine?
Q. Yes.
A. Or Expansion?
Q. I'd like to start, since this is an application to
amend an existing licence, I wish to start at the
root, which is the mine, the initial mine, Shell
Jackpine Mine. So just for clarity, I'm going to
refer to this Project as the Shell Jackpine Mine
Expansion. And I'd like to arrange with you some

convenient way of ensuring that when we refer to
the initial Jackpine Mine that we're talking about
the same thing.
A. So I need to go back and make a correction, then.
I joined Shell in June 2007, so I was not here with
Shell as part of the original Jackpine Mine. I've
only -- but I have been with Shell since we filed
the Application for the Expansion.
Q. And would it be fair to say in the normal course of
the duties that you assumed when you joined Shell
that you would have familiarized yourself with the
arrangements that had been reached with the
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, the Mikisew Cree
First Nation, and the Fort McKay First Nation and
Métis Local, for example?
A. Absolutely. Yes. And so the group that I manage,
we had overall responsibility for implementing
those agreements.
Q. All right. Now, I'm going to ask you a question.
It is not intended to bind the First Nations in any
way. But it is intended to elicit your opinion.
In your opinion, through the arrangements that were
reached with those entities that I named for the
Jackpine Mine, the initial Jackpine Mine, in your
view, through the arrangements that Shell reached

with those entities, did those entities reconcile
their interests with the initial project?
A. In my view, yes, they did.
Q. All right. Now, let's turn to the Jackpine Mine
Expansion.
A. M'mm-hmm.
Q. I understand that Shell has reached an arrangement
with the Mikisew Cree First Nation?
A. That's correct.
Q. I understand that they have withdrawn their
opposition to this Project, but that they intend to
participate to make submissions to the Joint Review
Panel on cumulative effects and Crown Consultation;
is that your understanding?
A. That's my understanding.
Q. And I understand that this is documented in a
letter from their counsel for the Mikisew Cree,
dated October 2nd, 2012, which is Exhibit 007-014.
Would you please take a moment to confirm that.
A. Yes, we can confirm that, October 2nd, 2012.
Q. Thank you. Is it your understanding that the
Mikisew Cree have, and again subject to the
understanding that this is not intended to bind in
any way the Mikisew Cree but to elicit your
opinion, is it the opinion of Shell that the

Mikisew Cree have reconciled their interests,
reconciled their interests with this Project
through the arrangement that they have achieved
with Shell?
A. So, yes, that would be my opinion.
Q. Thank you.
Now, I understand that the Fort McMurray
First Nation has achieved a similar arrangement.
And this is documented in Exhibit 011-012.
A. So did you mean the Fort McKay First Nation?
Q. No, I meant the Fort McMurray First Nation.
Perhaps I'm mistaken in this and that's why I'm
asking. I wanted to be clear.
A. Okay. So the -- I'm looking at a letter
October 18th, 2012. Could you repeat your
question, please?
Q. Yes. Has Shell reached an arrangement with the
Fort McMurray First Nation that is documented in
Exhibit 011-012?
A. Shell does not have an arrangement with the Fort
McMurray 468 First Nation.
Q. All right. Thank you.
Now, the Fort McKay First Nation and the Fort
McKay Métis Local, I understand that they have
reached an accommodation with Shell and that this

is documented in Exhibit 009-010. Can you confirm
this, please.
A. Yes, I can confirm that we have reached
arrangements with Fort McKay First Nation and Fort
McKay Métis Local 63.
Q. And is it your opinion, again subject to the
qualification that we outlined earlier, that those
two groups have reconciled their interests with
this Project?
A. That is my opinion, yes.
Q. All right.
Now, there remains some Aboriginal groups,
I'm using the term "Aboriginal" so that it includes
both First Nation and Métis, that have not reached
an accommodation with Shell in respect of the
Project. Is that your understanding?
A. So I guess the word that's throwing me off here a
little bit is the word "accommodation" so if you
look at the duty to accommodate, Shell wouldn't see
that we have the duty to accommodate. So I would
suggest --
Q. Yes, this flows from the exercise of what is
described, as I see it, this flows from the
exercise of what is described as "social
responsibility" in the Annual Report. Do you agree

with that?
A. I do agree with that.
Q. Yes. That's where I'm coming from.
And so is it fair to say that Shell has done
what it can through the exercise of its corporate
social responsibility to arrive at let me call it
arrangements with First Nations in respect of this
Project?
MS. BIEM: Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, I
rise to object. This is a sweetheart cross that
this Panel has already ruled is not allowed.
MR. LAMBRECHT: It's hardly sweetheart. And
the hard question is about to follow.
Q. So let me ask you the hard question. I want you to
assume that this Panel will make recommendations to
future decision-makers. We've gone through the
permitting process. We know that this, that the
ERCB decision in this respect is only one of the
approvals that are preconditions to a final
investment decision. I want you to assume that the
Panel will make recommendations to future
decision-makers, indeed the Mikisew Cree are coming
to talk to the Panel about their concerns with
respect to Crown Consultation, notwithstanding
their arrangement.

I want you to assume that the Crown in Right
of Alberta and the Crown in Right of Canada will
assess the adequacy of Aboriginal consultation
responsibilities of the Crown before making any of
those regulatory decisions. And I want to ask you
please to describe --
MS. BISHOP: I hear a whole lot of --
THE CHAIRMAN: Let him finish the question.
There's no answer yet, Ms. Bishop. Let him ask the
question.
Q. MR. LAMBRECHT: I want you, based upon your
experiences in the consultations that you have
undertaken, to describe recommendations that the
Joint Review Panel might make to the Crown to
address Aboriginal concerns that are outstanding
that you have heard.
THE CHAIRMAN: Let me give the opportunity
to Ms. Biem and Ms. Bishop at this point, having
the question's been asked, to state their
objections.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Thank you.
MS. BIEM: My objection is that it seems
in the nature of a sweetheart cross where it
appears that Mr. Lambrecht seeks evidence to
support his client's position in relation to the

adequacy of consultation processes. He's also
asking questions of Shell about their opinion of
what they may or may not have done with ACFN.
Thanks.
THE CHAIRMAN: Can you say more, Ms. Biem?
I'm not fully understanding.
MS. BIEM: It appears like he's throwing
them some really easy softballs to say that they've
done everything they can and to paint my client in
an unreasonable light. That's my objection. Thank
you.
MS. BISHOP: My objection is twofold:
Again, I agree with ACFN that this appears to be
sweetheart cross; and I also object to a question
that asks Shell to predict what this Panel's going
to do. It's this Panel's responsibility to make
recommendations, not Shell's.
MR. DENSTEDT: No objection, sir, but an
observation, since it's my panel that's being
discussed.
First of all, it would be a unique situation
for the Proponent to be in a sweetheart position
with the Federal Government at these processes.
But I would observe that the question is a
legitimate one for the drawing-out of information.

I'm not sure where my friend is going with it. And
Ms. Jefferson is the keeper of the consultation
record for Shell, so it's relevant information to
the Panel as well on what Shell has done and how
they might react. And as a matter of procedural
law, it is important for the Panel to know Shell's
views on the recommendations that it might find
acceptable or unacceptable. So that's my
observation, sir.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any response, Mr. Lambrecht?
MR. LAMBRECHT: Well, Mr. Dilay, the Annual
Report indicates that Shell's approach evolves as
it learns. It is indeed the position of the
Federal Crown that this Panel has to make
recommendations, but that's embodied in it's Joint
Review Panel Report.
What I'm asking is for Shell to, who has been
on the frontline with Aboriginal parties on this
Project, to outline outstanding concerns that those
Aboriginal groups may have, that this Panel might
make recommendations upon, to the Crown, to see if
the Crown, if in Shell's view the Crown may address
these in some way. That is all.
And I'd be happy if Mr. Broadhurst wanted to
take this by way of undertaking rather than do it

on the spot.
MS. BIEM: May I speak to one point in
reply, Mr. Chair?
THE CHAIRMAN: Go ahead.
MS. BIEM: Well, herein lies the
problem. Yet again, we have the Crown asking Shell
what Shell understands the outstanding Aboriginal
concerns to be. And we have the Crown indicating
that they are going to base their recommendations
on Shell's interpretation of outstanding Aboriginal
concerns and therein lies the problem that my
clients will speak to. Thank you.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Well, I would be happy to ask
this question of the Aboriginal parties when they
take their turn in evidence here, sir, so that
everyone has the same opportunity. I'm asking
Shell this first because their panel is first, and
that's merely a sequencing matter, not a strategy
of some kind.
THE CHAIRMAN: I'd like to give Ms. Biem and
Ms. Bishop and Mr. Denstedt, and suppose you as
well, Mr. Lambrecht, the opportunity to speak to
this, and that is, that I have a series of
questions myself from the point of view of the
Panel about these matters. And I will also have

questions about a number of other recommendations
that in the submission of your client,
Mr. Lambrecht, you have made to the Panel. And
similarly, about recommendations that this Panel
might make if it were inclined to recommend to the
Minister that the Project be allowed to proceed.
Those kinds of things. And it's the only
opportunity this Panel has to ask Shell about those
kinds of things.
So if Ms. Biem or Ms. Bishop would like to
comment on those things, I have a series of those
kinds of questions, as I usually do.
MS. BISHOP: Mr. Chair, I would say to you
that that is why we are going to have I would
imagine at least one maybe two days of argument in
this matter, and that is the appropriate time for
counsel to be able to address those questions that
the Panel has. It really is a question of law to a
great degree. And I would suggest that here under
sweetheart cross is not an appropriate way to have
that addressed. All parties aren't able to address
the concerns as they come up. And the appropriate
time to do that is during final argument.
THE CHAIRMAN: Ms. Bishop, while you're at

clearly enough. Are you saying my questions would
be inappropriate? I guess what I'm saying in
summary is that we can ask the questions now or we
can ask them when it comes to my turn.
MS. BISHOP: I'm suggesting that one
option to have those matters addressed is through
counsel through argument.
THE CHAIRMAN: You didn't answer my
question, though. I have those kinds of questions.
And I thought I described them well enough and I've
done them in many past hearings because it's the
only opportunity that a Panel has to talk to the
applicant about, you know, what it sees about the
possibility of recommendations and, for example,
approval conditions if the Panel is inclined to
approve a project or recommend its approval.
MS. BISHOP: I'm suggesting that one
option is for that to be addressed in argument.
I'm not going to presume to tell you what you're
able to do in questioning. I don't think that
would be appropriate of me to do so.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.

forward.
MS. BIEM: Mr. Chair and Panel Members,
I believe that last question may be a fair one
coming from an independent adjudicative body. But
having it come from Canada in the context of the
series of questions that's led up to that
particular one, it has a very different tenor than
it would have coming from yourself as an
independent adjudicator. So personally I'm not
going to object if you were to ask that sort of
question. I do object to that question in the
context of the series of questions that
Mr. Lambrecht has been posing to Shell. Thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Lambrecht, we'll give you
the final word and then -- well, we'll give you the
final word.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Well, I'm respectful of
Aboriginal perspectives. It's sometimes necessary
to proceed in the face of disagreement. What I'm
hearing, Mr. Dilay, is that you would ask the very
same question that I just asked. And if that's
what I'm hearing, I'm quite prepared to let you ask
the questions so that it addresses the concerns
that my friends have.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, sir.

THE CHAIRMAN: Ladies and Gentlemen, we're
going to take a break to consider this and I'd like
to tell you how long we'll be, but we don't know.
So we'll try and get back to you as soon as we can.
Thank you.
(Brief Adjournment)
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, everyone. The
Panel understands the submissions of the parties.
Thank you for those submissions. The Panel also
understands that there's a relationship between
Mr. Lambrecht's client and the company in terms of
the consultation process.
So the Panel is prepared to allow
Mr. Lambrecht to ask questions that are intended to
get at the facts, but believes that the questions
asking for opinions are problematic.
And so I would ask you to respond to that,
Mr. Lambrecht, in terms of whether you would like
to ask any further questions and rephrase them such
that they are related to the facts of the issue.

so you would have a chance to rephrase them.
(Ruling)
MR. LAMBRECHT: Yes, that would be
appropriate, I think. I'll endeavour over the
lunch hour to reflect on the distinction that
you've drawn in order to refocus the questions in a
way that addresses the point that you've made.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Lambrecht.
And thank you, everyone.
So we will take our lunch break. We did talk
about having a briefer than usual lunch break, but
I think in the circumstances and considering that
we're going to stop at 3:00 in any event, that
we'll resume at 1:00 p.m. Thank you.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Thank you.

I'll just take a brief moment to just mark two of
the three undertakings to Mr. Lambrecht from this
morning.
The first was all three amendments to the EUB
approval.
And the second is all four amendments to the
EPEA operating approval.
So we have both of those. There's copies
provided at the back of the room as well.
THE CHAIRMAN: What do you think we should
do, mark the EUB and EPEA ones separately?
MR. DUNCANSON: Probably separate exhibits.
MR. PERKINS: The first number we have,
sir, is 001-081.
THE CHAIRMAN: So we'll make that the EUB
amendments. And 82 for the EPEA amendments.

MR. DUNCANSON: Great. Thank you, sir.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Mr. Chairman, having regard
to your comments, I've endeavoured to reformulate
the questions that I had asked in a manner that
would not be objectionable to Ms. Biem or
Ms. Bishop. And I've discussed that with them. So
I'm going to endeavour to re-ask those questions.
If I'm successful, you will not hear from them.
Q. So, Mr. Broadhurst, I'll direct these to you.
Has Shell attempted to reach arrangements
with Aboriginal groups, whether First Nation or
Métis, in respect of the Shell Jackpine Mine
Expansion Project?
A. MR. BROADHURST: Yes, we have.
Q. Have you reached such arrangements with any groups?
A. Yes, sir, we've reached an arrangement with the
Mikisew Cree First Nations and Fort McKay First
Nations and Métis 63.
Q. And what are the outstanding Aboriginal concerns
that appear on the record?
A. So I'm going to ask Ms. Jefferson to speak to that.
A. MS. JEFFERSON: Could you repeat the
question?

A. Could you maybe elaborate a little bit on that? So
the Aboriginal concerns?
Q. In respect of the Shell Jackpine Mine Expansion,
how the Shell Jackpine Mine Expansion Project may
affect Aboriginal interests, is there an expression
of outstanding concerns in the record?
A. Yes. Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has
outstanding concerns. And also I think we've heard
from The Métis Nation Region 1 and including Métis
Local 125. And Fort McMurray 468 First Nation, I
believe, still has some outstanding concerns.
Q. Did you describe these concerns in the record, did
Shell describe these outstanding concerns in the
record?
A. So we would have described these outstanding in the
consultation records and logs that we have provided
to the Crown. So in terms of the consultation, I'm
not sure if I'm answering the question.
Q. Is that record here in front of the Panel when you
referred to the logs that you have provided to the
Crown?
A. I don't believe the Panel has the Consultation Logs
that we provided to the Crown, but that's subject
to check. I apologize, they were submitted as part
of the record that the Panel has before them.

We'll take an undertaking to get you the exhibit
numbers for the Consultation Logs.
I'd also add that outstanding concerns would,
may be reflected in the technical reviews that were
completed by, the technical review completed by the
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, and in
traditional land use and knowledge studies that are
before the Panel.
Q. Thank you. So could we ask for an undertaking,
please, just so that it's clear, to produce the
exhibit numbers of the documents where those
outstanding concerns can be found?
MR. DENSTEDT: That sounded clear to me, so.
MR. LAMBRECHT: Madam Reporter? Thank you.

Q. MR. LAMBRECHT: I'm going to turn the

different subject matter. And I'm going to ask you
to turn to page 1-10 of Exhibit 001-001A, this is
Volume 1 of the binder that is described as
Volume 1 of what I describe as the Environmental
Impact Assessment or EIA.
A. MR. BROADHURST: Yes, sir, we have that.
Q. On that page, Mr. Broadhurst, there's a heading
described as "Fort McKay Lease Development
Opportunity"?
A. Yes.
Q. There's a reference to "Fort McKay Indian Reserve
No. 174C Lands." Do you see that?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. All right. Now, there is a map that appears in the
overview at page 1-3. It is Figure 1-2, Jackpine
Mine Expansion Development Area. Could you pull
that up, please.
A. Yes.
Q. All right. And I see two areas of land contiguous
to the Jackpine Mine Expansion Project area that
are listed as Fort McKay Indian Reserve No. 174C.
Are both of these referenced in that previous

paragraph or only one of them?
A. No, it is the two lease -- or the one lease with
the two segments to it.
Q. If the Jackpine Mine Expansion Project receives all
of the approvals that it requires, and if a final
investment decision is made by the joint venture
partners such that the Project proceeds to
development, will the bitumen resources in Fort
McKay Indian Reserve No.174C be sterilized?
A. I wouldn't say that they would be sterilized. They
would be not part of the Jackpine Mine Expansion.
However, they are still resources available to Fort
McKay and could be developed.
Q. When you look at Figure 110, at the text on
page 1-10 that I had referred you to earlier, it
indicates that these could be developed in
conjunction with this Project and that, indeed,
Shell has included these reserve lands in its
Environmental Impact Assessment. Is it still
possible that these lands could be developed in
association with this Jackpine Mine Expansion but
through a future application?
A. So the original work that had been done
contemplated a development scheme that could have
included the Fort McKay leases. Discussions took

place, but there was nothing conclusive that would
have supported including that as part of the final
submission for this Amendment Application.
It is possible to revisit and develop a Mine
Plan that would include the leases. Of course we
would need to seek additional approvals if we were
to proceed down that path.
Q. Now I'd like to ask you some questions about the
Muskeg River.
A. Yes.
Q. My understanding, in general terms, is that some
22 kilometres of what is said to be the upper
reaches of the Muskeg River would be affected by
the Shell Jackpine Mine Expansion Project; is that
correct?
A. Yes, that's correct.
Q. My understanding was that the original proposal was
to channel the water that flowed through those
affected upper reaches into a pipe so that it would
flow into the lower reaches through the pipe?
A. Yes, as part of a temporary diversion to support
the Mine Planning operation.
Q. And there's been a movement from that initial plan
toward a diversion channel. Now, why is that?
A. This has been discussed somewhat in the last

several days, but just to summarize. When we
consulted with a number of our stakeholders, and,
in particular with our Aboriginal neighbours, there
were concerns expressed with the temporary
diversion through a pipe, concerns about the nature
of the diversion, concerns about impacts to the
spirit of the river. And, of course, as we
discussed, I believe yesterday or the day before,
there's a significant resource that would be
compromised if we did not relocate the river;
approximately 400 million barrels.
So through discussions with our Aboriginal
neighbours, what we were able to devise was an
alternate scheme which we were quite pleased with
in the sense that it didn't amount to as much as a
trade-off decision between resource recovery and
environmental stewardship. But we could actually
provide an opportunity that was a good
environmental option for the river and for the
health of the river, and that was to relocate it
around the north of the mine through an open
channel. So we're very pleased that that option
looked to be viable and had presented that as our
Muskeg River Diversion Alternative.
Q. Yes, but that diversion alternative still

sterilizes bitumen resources, doesn't it?
A. No, the diversion alternative actually takes the
Muskeg River Mine and puts it north of the mine
site.
Q. It had been my understanding, sir, that --
A. Just one moment, please.
Q. Please.
A. So, I'm sorry, just a correction on that. There is
some resource sterilization with that option with
the slight adjustment to the mine pit that was
necessary. Subject to check, it was approximately
40 million barrels in contrast to the 400 million
barrels.
Q. Yes, but I have heard objections concerning the
diversion project regardless of that plan. And so
is there any reason other than the amount of
resource that is sterilized that would cause Shell
to propose a diversion channel rather than leaving
the upper reaches of the Muskeg River in place?
A. Well, it is a balanced decision where we need to
look at, on the one hand, the orderly, efficient
and economic development of the resource balanced
by ensuring that we can do it in a way that's
environmentally and socially responsible. It's our
job to look at how we can achieve that objective.

The original proposal, with the temporary
diversion, we thought was something that would
protect the river. But basis the consultation, we
came up with what we think is a better alternative
in terms of being able to meet that balance. So
there may still be some objections to any
disturbance of the river, but our job was to try
and find a solution that provided the best balance
given all of those considerations.
Q. Yes, I appreciate you made a balance. Is it
possible to proceed with the Shell Jackpine Mine
Expansion Project if the upper reaches of the
Muskeg River were not diverted?
A. I think it introduces a risk in the sense that we
premised the investment in the infrastructure and
the investment in the mining capacity based on
being able to access two billion barrels of
resource. With simple math, if you take 25 percent
of that away, I think it would introduce a risk to
whether the opportunity would be economic. That
would have to be determined at the time of the
investment decision.
Q. All right, let's move to the compensation lake,
please.
A. Yes.

Q. My understanding is that Shell has proposed a
compensation lake known as Redclay Lake --
A. Yes, we have.
Q. -- through a No Net Loss Plan. So my general
understanding of this is that the fish habitat in
the upper reaches of the Muskeg River will be, the
loss of that, through the proposal that you've just
discussed, would be offset through the development
of a compensation lake. Is that the general gist
of Shell's approach here?
A. Well, the requirement is if we have a HADD for the
watercourses on the site, that's where the 35(2)
authorization arises and where the compensation
obligation arises. It isn't just the Muskeg River,
but the concept is correct.
Q. Now, where is the proposed compensation lake, is it
on a leasehold that Shell has?
A. The compensation lake is proposed on the west side
of the Athabasca River in an area where Shell has
lease holdings.
Q. And my understanding is that it has a significant
capacity, in other words this is a very large
compensation lake compared to some others that may
have been proposed for prior oil sands mines. Why
is it so much bigger?

A. So what I'm going to do is ask my colleague
Mr. Kovach to talk about the compensation lake. He
has more of the details behind it that might be
helpful.
Q. Thank you.
A. MR. KOVACH: Yes, thank you.
We calculated the HADD, the Harmful
Alteration, Disruption or Destruction of habitat,
fish habitat, for the Project. And when we
started, we had a combined Project, we had the
Jackpine Mine Expansion Project and the Pierre
River Mine project.
So the original size of the compensation lake
that you look at shows the compensation for both
projects. And because the Pierre River Mine
project affects a number of streams as well, that's
why the compensation lake is probably as big as it
is. But I guess the key message is is the
compensation lake is as big as it needs to be to
address the compensation that's required, the HADD
that's incurred.
Q. Now I want to talk to you about methylmercury.
This is discussed in the Project Draft No Net Loss
Plan, which is Exhibit 001-064B. I don't think I
need to take you there because I don't need to

refer to the document. But I want to talk to you
about the general problem here.
My understanding is that the creation of this
particular lake through the No Net Loss Plan will
inherently give rise to a methylmercury problem.
Is that your understanding?
A. Yeah, our understanding is, with reservoirs, if you
inundate them with water, that the organic matter
could get reduced and cause methylmercury to be
taken up through the food chain.
Q. Right. So how is Shell going to ensure that fish
that may inhabit the compensation lake do not enter
the fishery whether an Aboriginal fishery or
recreational fishery or a commercial fishery?
A. Well, excuse me for one sec, I'm just going to
check what we've said on this.
Thank you for your patience.
Yes, Shell's proposing an intensive fish
harvesting program based on intensive monitoring,
so if we saw increases of mercury in fish tissue,
that's where we would harvest the fish to make sure
that these fish weren't consumed by wildlife or
humans.
Q. Yes, well, I'm more concerned about the humans, but
I do understand that the document that you tendered

talks about the consumption of fish by great blue
herons and river otters as well. But let's focus
on the human fishery, whether it's Aboriginal or
commercial or recreational. I mean, is there some
chance that these fish may enter the fishery that I
just described, one of those fisheries, or any of
them?
A. Yes, I guess that would be a possibility. And
we're, we welcome further discussions with
Fisheries and Oceans Canada on that if we want to
put in additional preclusion measures to make sure.
Again, we think we can manage the methylmercury
issue, but if there are concerns about that going
into the Athabasca, we can preclude fish from
leaving the lake.
Q. Well, how are you proposing to do that?
A. My understanding is, and maybe I'll just ask our
fish expert if he wants to speak to it, it might be
better, or if I answer it.
My colleagues have pointed me to the
Mitigation section of the Draft No Net Loss Plan.
It's section 6.3.4.5 of the Draft No Net Loss Plan
on page 72.
Q. Now, when I read that, I saw, if you look at
page 72 of that, for example, that there is a

proposal to ask ESRD to post in the Alberta Fishery
Guide for the relevant species, warning signs
around the lake. Now, ESRD is what? There's an
acronym here.
A. I'm sorry, it's Alberta Environment Sustainable
Resource Development.
Q. All right. So are you saying that you require the
assistance of government to achieve assurance that
the fish that monitoring may detect to have
unhealthy levels of mercury, to ensure that these
fish do not enter the fishery?
A. Yes, these are all concepts about ways to protect
human exposure to mercury. So, again, our
mitigation would be, and we think it will be
successful, it will be to take the larger, the
higher trophic species fish out of the watershed --
or out of the compensation lake, therefore if there
are any fish that are moving between the
compensation lake and the receiving environment,
their mercury levels will be low.
Like most rivers, major rivers in Alberta,
there are elevated mercury levels, and what we
would expect is that they have fish advisories on
them, and what we would suggest is that it would be
a good thing to do, for Alberta Environment

Sustainable Resource Development to put it in their
Alberta Fishing Guide that this lake should not be
fished in, so people don't put themselves at
unnecessary risk. And that we can also do other
things like post signs and whatnot to keep people
out. It's just a nice precaution to make sure that
it's not fished.
Q. Well, is this lake going to be connected to the
Athabasca River?
A. Yes, it will be.
Q. And what's to keep the fish from going into the
river?
A. Well, the fish will go into the river. But what
we're suggesting is if you harvest on an annual
basis, you're taking the higher trophic-level
species out of the lake and therefore the species
that do move between the watersheds have those
lower levels of mercury, so we're not having a harm
to the Athabasca River.
Q. You would agree with me that the methylmercury
problem is a concern?
A. Yes, it's a concern we're taking very seriously and
we'll continue to work on that with DFO.
Q. Yes, but you mention DFO, but in your document you
also require the assistance of Alberta Sustainable

Resources Development; is that correct?
A. I don't think I'm doing a good job of conveying
what I'm trying to say. We are confident in our
mitigation. We're going to work at that and make
sure it works. These are things we can do. And we
think they are prudent steps we can take, again, as
a good neighbour. So you want to go and talk to
the local communities, you do want to post these
types of things in fishing guides, you want to make
sure that the health of the people are protected.
If these didn't happen, if we didn't go to Alberta
Environment SRD, we still believe that the health
of the people and wildlife will be protected due to
this Project.
Q. All right, but I want to hear from you that there's
a level of certainty that approaches the certain,
so far as science can do this, in mitigating this
risk so that these fish do not enter the food
chain.
So my question for you is, you're confident,
but is there something that this Panel can
recommend to governments to further augment these
mitigations so that there is that level of
certainty that these fish will not enter the
fishery?

A. One moment please.
A. MR. CLIPPERTON: Kasey Clipperton. The
strategy that Shell has proposed through the
intensive fishing would be triggered after
monitoring of fish in the lake where fish would be
collected and the fish tissue would be sent for
analysis to determine the concentration of mercury
in the fish tissue. And if the fish tissue was
approaching a level that was exceeding guideline
recommendations, that's when the intensive fishing
program would be initiated.
The details of the intensive fishing program
aren't laid out. However, the concept would be the
use of appropriate-sized gill nets that would
target the larger-sized fish that would be of most
concern for the consumption advisory. Gill
nettings can be a very, are a very effective
fishing method and with the appropriate level of
fishing effort applied, each year, if necessary,
they can effectively remove the vast majority, if
not all, of the larger fish that would be at risk
within the compensation lake.
A. MR. MARTINDALE: And I'd like to add that
also we have a compensation lake at Jackpine Mine
right now. And with DFO, we've established a very

thorough monitoring program and we would carry out
a similar-type program with any other compensation
lake that we develop. And that's sampling at
different times of the year, through the ice, it's
an all-year monitoring program.
Q. What is your level of confidence that this will
prevent fish from entering the fishery?
A. I was just adding that it would add confidence as
to the quality and health of the fish in the -- and
the methylmercury would be able to be part of that
program, just like it is now. So they would take
physical structures to monitor the fish leaving the
lake, but in terms of monitoring on an annual
basis, we would do the same as what we're doing
now.
Q. I presume that Shell would not object if a future
decision-maker imposed conditions upon a future
approval, whichever jurisdiction has -- whichever
Crown has jurisdiction in this regard in order to
ensure that fish with unhealthy levels of
methylmercury do not enter the fishery?
A. MR. BROADHURST: So, thank you, I can take
that one.
So just to be clear. With the design that
we've contemplated with the Redclay compensation,

we do have experience in designing, building and
managing compensation lakes. We have a lake on
Jackpine that's healthy, it's vibrant. And so we
know how to do that.
The plans that we put in place for Redclay
have identified how we would do the design and
management, as well as being clear about the risk.
Coming to your point, of course when we work
with the regulator, to the extent that we need to
put controls in place that will give ourselves and
the regulator confidence that we can manage the
risk of exposure from a methylmercury point of
view, then we would do that.
Q. All right, then I have two final questions. They
can both be dealt with by way of undertaking.
The first one requires me to ask you to turn
back to page 1-3, please, in Volume 1, the binder,
Exhibit 001-001A. This is Figure 1-2, Jackpine
Mine Expansion Development Area.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. All right. Now, this map shows the boundaries by
township and range. And what I'd like to ask you
to undertake, please, is a description of the
Jackpine Mine Expansion Project as a size of a
township, is it one Township, two Townships, 1.37

Townships, how big is it measured as a Township?
A. So just so I'm clear, we'll come back as an
undertaking to just give a characterization of the
Jackpine Mine Development Area in terms of
Township. Now --
Q. That's all.
A. -- as we talked before, there's a mine pit
boundary, there's the mine disturbance area, and
then there's a lease boundary. Is it the mine
disturbance area that you're interested in?
Q. What I would describe as the total Project area
which includes all the components of it.
A. Yes, well, then I believe what you're looking for
is the mine disturbance area, because there are
parts of the lease that don't have development on,
so.
Q. I would be content with that.
A. Okay, we can provide that.
MR. DENSTEDT: So I think the undertaking is
to provide the mine disturbance area in the context
of how much of a Township or in that relationship?
MR. LAMBRECHT: Yes, that is correct. So
that we don't have to convert hectares to Townships
or do complicated measurements in order to arrive
at that figure.

UNDERTAKING 18: MR. BROADHURST TO PROVIDE THE
MINE DISTURBANCE AREA IN THE CONTEXT OF "HOW
MUCH OF A TOWNSHIP"
MR. LAMBRECHT: And then the final question I
have for you by way of undertaking refers to a
statement by your counsel that the approval of a
Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council is required for any
Section 13 decision that the ERCB component of this
Panel may make under the Oil Sands Conservation
Act.
I would like you to consult with counsel
about that and advise if that remains the position
that was expressed on the record earlier by your
counsel.
MR. DENSTEDT: That's an undertaking we're
prepared to accept. I can tell you that we may not
need to consult because it is a legal question, I'm
the legal advisor, and I know what my legal advice
will be is that we've had a chance to look at that
further and we don't think that argument floats,
actually. But we'll get back to you and confirm

UNDERTAKING 19: WITH RESPECT TO THE STATEMENT BY
COUNSEL FOR SHELL THAT THE APPROVAL OF A
LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR-IN-COUNCIL IS REQUIRED FOR
ANY SECTION 13 DECISION THAT THE ERCB COMPONENT
OF THIS PANEL MAY MAKE UNDER THE OIL SANDS
CONSERVATION ACT, TO CONSULT WITH SHELL COUNSEL
ABOUT THAT AND ADVISE IF THAT REMAINS THE
POSITION THAT WAS EXPRESSED ON THE RECORD EARLIER
BY YOUR COUNSEL
MR. LAMBRECHT: Mr. Dilay, that concludes my
questioning. Mr. Broadhurst and others, thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thanks, Mr. Lambrecht.
MR. DENSTEDT: Mr. Chairman, would it be
useful for me just to confer with Mr. Broadhurst
now and finish this?
THE CHAIRMAN: Let's do that.
MR. DENSTEDT: Mr. Chairman, I can discharge
that undertaking.
Shell does not take the position that
Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council is required. They
take the position that it is not required under the
amendment under Section 13.

(UNDERTAKING NO. 19 SATISFIED)
THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Perkins, can you take us
to about 3:00 p.m.?
QUESTIONS BY BOARD STAFF, BY MR. PERKINS:
MR. PERKINS: I think so, sir. Always
seems to be the fate of Board counsel to be asking
questions late on a Friday. I'm sure at 3:05, if
I'm on my feet, I'll quickly become the most hated
man in Fort McMurray, so I will stop at 3 o'clock.
Q. Panel, I'm going to ask you questions provided to
me by the Secretariat and I'll say primarily staff
with the ERCB.
I know, Mr. Broadhurst, you're the point man
on this panel, and I may not address you, but to
the extent that that's your role, consider that as
the questions come over, I'm happy to have them be
funnelled through you or grabbed by any of the
members of your panel as you see fit.
A. MR. BROADHURST: Indeed.

you all of the references with the expectation that

you will turn them up, unless in the question I'm
going to go to a specific part of the material, and
I think there's a need or a benefit for you to see
that, but certainly at any time you can feel free
to stop me and ask me for the reference so that you
can turn it up if you think you need it. All
right.
And just the game plan is I'm going to start
at the end, so to speak, with questions about
reclamation.
A. Okay.
Q. And then I'm going to come back, and probably in
this order, I'll have questions about geotechnical
and mining, process, tailings, surface water, air
emissions, socio-economic, and finish off with
noise. And I doubt very much we'll get through
that schedule today, but we'll see how far we can
go.
So starting with reclamation questions, has
Shell made any amendments to the Jackpine Mine
Expansion Closure and Reclamation Plan or
development status sequence figures since it
submitted its SIR responses in May of 2012?
A. MR. MARTINDALE: No, we haven't made any
changes.

Q. And I'll give you three references for the next
question.
In Volume 5 of the Application, Shell states:
"The development areas will
be phased over time allowing for
progressive reclamation practices
to be employed."
In the Supplemental Information Request Responses
from December of 2009, Figure 385-1, and that's on
page 23-17, shows reclamation of approximately
70 percent of the land disturbed by the Project
occurring in the final 15 years of the Project
life.
And finally the Supplemental Information
Request Responses, same December package, question
385B, in its response Shell outlines several
progressive reclamation practices that can be used.
My question is, apart from those practices
outlined in that response, are there other things
Shell can do to increase the rate of reclamation as
much as possible? And when I say "the rate of
reclamation," I mean reclaiming more disturbed land

earlier so that at any point in time the disturbed
area is minimized.
A. Based on the response, that is pretty much the
extent to which you can do progressive reclamation.
Q. So the factors listed in the response, nothing else
comes to mind for you?
A. Well, of meaningful reclamation, no. You could do
temporary reclamation in some areas, but it would
be buried again or have to be moved again. So
permanent final reclamation, these are pretty much
the way you would do it.
Q. And I'm sorry, Mr. Martindale, the expression you
used for the temporary reclamation that would be
buried again?
A. Or redisturbed. Temporary reclamation you would do
to prevent erosion, you know, when you know you're
going to be disturbing an area again.
Q. But it wouldn't be done for the intention of
restoring some land use?
A. No, it wouldn't.
Q. I'll give you three more references for the next
question.
In its EIA Update of May of 2008, Shell
indicated that:

1170
"To minimize mixing,
reclamation material will be
stockpiled and separated into five
categories."
Table 27 of the Update shows the reclamation
material balance, including volumes to be hauled
annually to stockpile.
And then, finally, Figures 46-3 to 46-10 of
the Joint Review Panel SIRs from May 2012 identify
areas planned for reclamation material stockpiles.
So those are the three references you may
need for this question.
So I wanted to ask, would Shell agree or
disagree that based on the volumes presented in the
Table and the area shown on the figures, as well as
Shell's plan to segregate materials into five types
up to a maximum height of 20 metres, that beginning
in '25, unless additional areas are identified,
sufficient space will not be available for
reclamation material storage. Do you agree or
disagree with that?
A. So if I understand the question correctly, the
answer lies in that if we place the material
outside the mine footprint, you're right, there

wouldn't be enough room, so that's why we use areas
within the mine footprint. And we also use direct
placement whenever possible, so material that would
be mined and reclaimed -- some areas would be
reclaimed with material that would be freshly
stripped, so it's important to use the existing
mine footprint and there are sometimes we'll come
across piles that we have to move and some piles
will be moved more than once before the material is
used.
Q. I don't know if this helps, Mr. Martindale. I'm
told direct placement is reflected in the Table; do
you agree with that?
A. Yes.
Q. So I guess that's the heart of the suggestion,
then, and that is: Is all the reclamation material
reflected in the Table that you will have to store?
A. Just a clarification, that's Table 46-2?
Q. Sorry, no, it's Table 27 of Appendix 2 of the EIA
Update May 2008 and it's exhibit, it's part of
Exhibit 001-002B. And I believe it's on PDF
page 173. That's the material balance we're
looking at.

Q. I'll try. This is the heart of it, Mr. Sawyer.
All the material reflected in Table 27, the
suggestion is, for the purpose of the question, all
that material cannot be placed in the stockpiles
that are indicated in Figures 46-3 to 46-10.
A. That is correct, because those figures only
reference the stockpiles that are outside the mine
footprint. So what we indicated is that some of
the stockpiles are actually placed within the mine
footprint, and continue to be moved ahead of the
mine advance until there's a situation where you
can ultimately place the material in its final
reclamation place. And those stockpiles that are
within the mine footprint aren't reflected in any
of the figures in the EIA.
Q. We're just curious that those volumes aren't
reflected in the figures. Is it possible -- and,
again, those are figures ending or tending to
represent the years 2015, 202, 2025, and four- and
five-year increments from 2030 to 2050, is it
possible for you or would you be able to prepare
new figures that would show us all of the material
that's reflected in Table 27 and its placement in
relation to the Project?
A. Right, I believe that's possible to show all of the

stockpiles that are within the mine footprint that
aren't necessarily shown in those figures.
Q. And just to be clear, then, you're telling me if
you showed me that, that would account for all of
the material that's reflected in Table 27?
A. That's correct.
Q. So could you undertake to provide those updated
figures?
A. We can take that undertaking. That won't be a
quick turnaround, but we'll get that.
Q. No, and that's fine, Mr. Sawyer.
Sorry, Mr. Denstedt, I've got a second part
of that.
If we're going to have a go at the figures,
can we have you amend the Table to reflect what
will be in the figures as well?
A. Sorry, could you repeat that?
Q. Sure. Can you update Table 27 to reflect the
reclamation material in the volume that's being
hauled to and removed from the stockpiles that will
be shown in the figures that you're going to
provide me?
A. So if I understand you correctly, you want the
Table to reference exactly with what's in the
figures so you want stockpile numbers and all of

the flow in and out of those stockpiles that would
match with the Table?
Q. Right, with the Table to match with the figures
that you're going to provide us.
A. Yes, we can provide that.
MR. DENSTEDT: Mr. Perkins, for the record,
can you give us the table and reference numbers and
maybe Mr. Sawyer could give us an idea about time,
as this panel will, with any luck, be down sometime
early next week.
A. Yes, I believe that this could be provided by the
end of next week.
MR. DENSTEDT: Is that okay?
MR. PERKINS: I think that's fine. I'm
sorry, Mr. Denstedt, did you want me to state for
the record where those items are in the --
MR. DENSTEDT: Yes. If you have those
references handy, Mr. Perkins, that would be great.
MR. PERKINS: Sure. The existing Table 27
is part of Exhibit 001-002B. It's PDF page 173 and

figures are in Exhibit 001-002B as well. Page 113.

tables. They are in Exhibit 001-51E, and it's PDF
pages 145 to 152. Are we okay with that?
A. Sorry, we're just confirming that. So we're
referencing the Table in the May 2008 and we just
want to confirm when we updated in May 2011 with
Muskeg River Diversion Alternative that this
reclamation balance still matches that plan.
Sorry, just one more comment.
So I would suggest that if we endeavour to do
this, we will update both the balance and the
figures to reflect the May 2011 plan as that's the
most recent plan. And the figure for the May 2011
plan is represented in the May 2012 Submission.
Q. I'm told that's the right one, Mr. Sawyer.

want to ask, and I suppose hypothetically, whether
Shell's identified additional areas within the
Project boundary for reclamation material
stockpiles if it needs that space; do you have that
flexibility?
A. There are two areas within the Jackpine Mine
Phase I footprint that we have investigated but are
not finalized for any form of stockpiling, and that
would be where the ore stockpile currently exists
and where the east overburden dump is to the
northeast of that. Those are areas outside of the
pit limit that are not proposed in this
Application.
Q. And, Mr. Sawyer, if you decided to use one of those
other, one or both of the other locations, have you
considered how that might affect the layout of the
other Project components on the expanded Jackpine
Mine site?
A. Those would have no impact on the other Project
components. Those would just reduce the amount of
stockpiled material within the mine footprint.
Q. Panel, I'll give you three more references for the
next questions.

"Wetlands reconstruction
practices will follow the 2007
draft Guideline for Wetland
Establishment on Reclaimed Oil
Sands Leases as amended in the
final version to be released..."
In Volume 5, and that's of Exhibit 001-001E
of the Application, Shell states:
"Reclamation of wetlands
types within the closure landscape
for the Expanded Jackpine Mine has
been approached conservatively with
an emphasis on considering the
succession and sustainability of
wetland ecosystems. Littoral zones
bordering open water and pit lakes
and constructed wetlands will be
revegetated with wetlands species
and are expected to become
functional graminoid marsh (MONG),
over time. For the purposes of
this plan, littoral zones have been

identified separately from wetlands
types in Table 17 to reflect this
conservative approach.
In the same way, depressional
areas created by microtopography of
landforms and areas surrounding
closure drainage features will be
revegetated with wetlands species
and are expected to evolve into
marsh wetland types over time. For
the purposes of this closure plan,
these depressional areas have been
identified separately from wetlands
types in Table 17 to reflect this
conservative approach."
And then the final reference I'll give you is
to that Table 17, which is in Exhibit 001-001E, and
that's Volume 5, Appendix 5-1, page 64 of the
material, which I believe is PDF page 605.
And Table 17 shows the reduction of wetland
ecosites from an initial area of 11,259 hectares to
zero hectares at closure within the expanded
Jackpine Mine Development Area.
So those are the references.

We wanted to ask you to explain why the
littoral zones and the depressional areas which
Shell expects to evolve into marsh wetland types
were not included as wetland in Table 17?
A. MR. KOVACH: Yes, thank you. The reason
why those weren't counted, it was simply to be
conservative in that we mentioned in that while we
expect them to be wetlands, we didn't want to be
presumptuous that they would be. It's just a way
of when we talk about wetland losses that we're
conservative.
Q. Shell also states that it's planning to develop the
following wetland landscapes at closure: Marshes,
MONG, with constructed wetlands, littoral zones and
drainage outlets.
So what we're just trying to get at is, is
Shell or is Shell not committing to reclaim
constructed wetlands as part of the closure
landscape?
A. Yes, Shell is committed, absolutely committed to
this. We've, we have ongoing relationships with
Syncrude and Suncor currently where we're
participating with them in peatland development.
We're also working with Ducks Unlimited Canada and
Wetlands International to look at integrating

ecosystem services into our wetland design. We
continue to work through the cumulative
Environmental Management Association's aquatic
subgroup under the Reclamation Working Group
providing wetlands, and through CONRAD's
Environmental Research Group. So we're very
involved in wetlands and we're working to put them
in the reclaimed environment.
When we look at them from an EIA perspective,
though, we want to be conservative in what we call
wetlands so that we don't underestimate the
potential impacts.
Q. And I understand you want to be conservative, but
are you being inconsistent, then, when Table 17
appears to reflect no wetland reclamation?
A. I'm sorry to ask you to just rephrase that,
Mr. Perkins. I'm not -- we're unclear exactly what
the conflict is there, the inconsistency, sorry.
Q. I'm just having another look at the Table,
Mr. Kovach.
A. Okay.
Q. Maybe it's easiest this way. Do you agree that
Table 17 reflects zero wetland reclamation?
A. Yes, I would agree with that.

A. Yes, that is correct.
Q. So is it worthwhile to amend Table 17 to reflect
that or you're reluctant to do that for one reason
or another?

help. So in that Table, so we don't put them in as
reclaimed wetlands or show them as reclaimed
because we don't necessarily believe they are
categorized as wetlands on the first day, and so
the description we have here about how they will
turn into wetlands is how we've assessed them.
But the categories that we would be looking
at that would convert to wetlands would be the
littoral zone row, so I'm on page 65 now. It would
also expect some of the shrubland row, whose map
code is capital "Sh", would be converting to
wetlands over time.
Q. Thank you, Mr. Speller. And actually, that's the
next question I have.
You said they would convert over time, and
that's also in your material. Can you say what
length of time we're talking about for the littoral
zones and depressional areas to evolve into marsh

wetlands?
A. Our colleagues are helping us with that answer, so.
The classifications that we're using here are based
on the Alberta guidance for these different
categories.
The littoral zones and the shrublands will
start off wet and we believe it will be a decade or
two or three for them to convert into wetlands
under the guide, to be categorized into a wetland
category.
Q. Thank you, Mr. Speller.
I've got a question now about closure
landforms, and I'll give you a couple of
references.
Two out of the May 2008 EIA Update. Shell
states:
"The entire landscape will be
recontoured to incorporate variable
topography. Ideally, dumps should
be recontoured without benches and
should achieve a regular topography
with non-linear contour lines."
And at another location in the -- sorry,

that's out of Appendix 1.
Appendix 2, Shell states (as read):
"General physical properties
of overburden disposal area
structures include slopes that are
terraced and range from 4:1 through
10:1. Note that terraces may be
reduced for closure."
In the Supplemental Information Request
Responses from December 2009, and this is in
response to Question 364, Shell states:
"No issues are expected with
terraces within the reclaimed areas
in the Jackpine Mine Expansion.
All slopes are designed to shed
water in a controlled manner that
minimizes the possibility of any
substantial ponding, concentrated
runoff or erosion."

"Recontouring of bench (or
terrace) areas on these landforms
will be considered in cases where
the purpose of benching was not to
allow progressive reclamation."
Another statement in the material:
"The inclusion of terraced
areas on closure landscapes allows
precipitation to be retained on the
surface of overburden disposal
areas and dyke walls, thereby
providing the potential to maintain
greater soil moisture in terraced
areas."
And then the final piece I'll give you from
the Supplemental Information Request -- sorry, from
the Supplemental Information Request Responses
December 2009, Shell states:
"In addition, planning and
construction techniques that allow
permanent reclamation of all or

part of a landform include:
...
- terracing overburden dumps to
allow reclamation of the lowest
terraces before the upper terraces
are fully constructed."
So given those comments, what we're
interested in, Panel, is what is Shell's commitment
in regards to reducing benching or terracing of
landforms as part of a closure landscape, and
specifically, will there be bench landforms in the
closure landscape.
A. MR. MARTINDALE: Yes, the one -- at
closure, we do not plan to have terraces. And the
one statement where it was benching, that was sort
of describing the way you would do progressive
reclamation up a slope, so you would still take it
to the edge. It meant level. And then you develop
to the edge. And so you don't have terraces at the
end of that. It was just to describe the way it
was being built. But there would be no terraces in
the final landscape. There would be partially at
some points.
Q. So that's your commitment, then, not to have

benching and terracing in the final closure
landscape?
A. Correct.
Q. All right. Thank you, Mr. Martindale.
I'm going to move on to geotechnical
questions. I'll give you this reference. It's
Exhibit 001-001A. It's Volume 1 of the
Application, Section 7.3. Shell states that:
"The design and construction
methods proposed for the sand dykes
are similar to those used in the
approved South [External Tailings
Disposal Area]."
The first question I have for you is what is
the current setback distance of the south ETDA from
the lease boundary?
A. MR. ROBERTS: Just allow us a couple of
moments here. Subject to check, I believe it's 150
metres from the south ET, external tailings
facility to the lease boundary.
Q. Mr. Roberts, I wonder if I can take you to Figure
7-2. And that's in Exhibit 001-001A. Let me know
when you're there.

A. Okay.
Q. What's your reaction if I suggest to you that that
indicates that the setback is about 120 metres,
would you agree with that or disagree?
A. Again, the 150 metres I mentioned was subject to
check. I'll have to -- we will have to check that.
Q. And the reason we're asking, sir, is we have an SIR
Response from Shell, it's Exhibit 001-006B. And
that indicates to us that Shell was planning on a
200-metre setback. We're just trying to find out
what your intentions are.
A. Okay, allow us a few moments here. So we'll have
to take an undertaking to actually determine what
that is. The area on the, around the TT cell and
what's referred to as the MFT cell right now, and
the start of the second MFT cell as you go east,
that's already been constructed. So I'll need to
do a check in the field. That was constructed as
part of Jackpine Mine Phase I.
Q. All right. Thank you, Mr. Roberts.
MR. DENSTEDT: I'm not exactly clear what
that undertaking is, so perhaps we can clarify it.
MR. PERKINS: I believe the undertaking is
you're going to confirm the setback distance of the
south ETDA from the lease boundary.

UNDERTAKING 21: MR. ROBERTS TO CONFIRM THE
SETBACK DISTANCE OF THE SOUTH ETDA FROM SYNCRUDE'S
LEASE T30 BOUNDARY
MR. PERKINS:
Q. Panel, does Shell have contingency plans for
variations in the dyke design parameter selection
or assumptions, and that is does Shell have an
ability to accommodate changes that might be needed
in the final detailed design plan?
A. Is that with respect to wider slopes? Looking for
clarification there. Wider slopes or toe berms or?
Q. Any of those, sir.
A. So I'm -- could you clarify which? Are we talking
about ETFs or dumps?
MR. DENSTEDT: Perhaps if Mr. Sawyer's the
right person to answer the question, maybe go
directly to him instead of back and forth. That
might be useful.
Q. MR. PERKINS: Mr. Roberts and
Mr. Sawyer, we're interested in the tailing dykes.

Q. Specifically the southern.
A. Okay, but the southern is part of our existing
approval.
Q. No, but you're also applying to extend that
tailings dyke; right?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay, so that's what we're interested in.
A. The hatched mark on the bottom right corner of the
ETF?
Q. That's the location we're talking about.
A. Okay.
A. MR. SAWYER: So Mark Sawyer here.
So with respect to the sand cell 2,
specifically the area that has not been developed,
the contingency measures that we're implementing
there were accommodating on lease, so we've used
monitoring of the current ETF, the current
constructed portions of it, the thickened tailings
cell and sand cell 1, and the additional subsurface
information we've collected, and we've designed
sand cell 2 with flatter slopes to accommodate the
updated understanding of the subsurface.
Q. So you told me, Mr. Sawyer, what Shell has done.
What we're interested in is are there other things
Shell can do if it discovers there's other

challenges building the dyke to the proposed
specifications? Do you have some wiggle room I
guess is what we're after.
A. So spatially we do not have any additional wiggle
room within our lease. The area between the toe of
the dyke and the lease boundary is all accommodated
by the various infrastructure required to operate
the ETF, the tailings lines and ditches and
perimeter roads. So any wiggle room, as you refer
to it, would be off-lease, which we do not have
agreement for nor have we proposed.
Q. And two elements we're interested in. Firstly, has
Shell explored the foundation conditions, is Shell
satisfied that those are sufficient to allow you to
build to the design elevation?
A. So the understanding of the foundation conditions
is adequate for the design as its been done. We
continue to update our understanding of the
foundation conditions. And the ultimate height of
the facility will be reviewed as we monitor the
structure as it rises and we gain additional
understanding of the subsurface.
Q. And, Mr. Sawyer, if it turns out in the detailed
design that Shell can't build to the proposed
elevation, do you have a plan to account for that,

to respond to that?
A. We haven't identified specific contingencies. We
continue to, as I mentioned, monitor the progress
of the facility as it rises, much like we have with
the Muskeg River Mine, and we adaptively manage and
update our tailings plans on an annual basis to
respond to our knowledge of the structure as it's
developed.
Q. So apart from the plan, can you say what the
consequences to Shell might be if the height of the
ETDA is limited to below the current design height,
how would it impact your operation?
A. MR. ROBERTS: So from a volume balance
perspective, we find we have a shortfall of sand,
we'll actually have to alter our mining plans to
accommodate earlier in-pit storage. And that may
involve things such as excavating and rehandling
ore and changing our fleet requirements.
Q. Thank you, Mr. Roberts. I'll give you a reference
again to the Application. It's Exhibit 001-001A,
that's Volume 1. In Section 5.3, page 5-17. Shell
states:
"A setback of 150 m has been
incorporated based on industry

practice and experience at the
Muskeg River Mine."
And in SIR Response 108C, page 10-6, and that
is Exhibit 001-006B, Shell identified that the pit
interaction failures are more limiting in
determining setback distances. Also, Shell set a
pit interaction failure criterion for the short
term as a 1.1 factor of safety.
Finally, the last reference I'll give you; in
a project update, Shell proposed to change the
Muskeg River diversion pipeline to a diversion
channel via a different route. And the question I
have about the channel: Is Shell going to line the
diversion channel beds?
A. MR. FITCH: The answer is no.
Q. And, Mr. Fitch, what's the potential for local
wetting and seepage into pit or are there any
potential impacts on stability?
A. From the diversion channel to the mine?
Q. Right.
A. Well, as part of the detailed design for the
channel, there will be an investigation program and
the channel will be lined as required to prevent
that from occurring.

1193
Q. So you don't plan now to line it, but you may line
it if the requirement proves itself?
A. There are portions of the channel alignment that we
know are underlain by sand, and those will need to
be lined. But, as I say, it will be part of the
detailed investigation that will determine where
exactly the lining will be required.
I should add, there were some questions
previously on the diversion channel and when it
would be -- I believe that was Mr. Malcolm -- when
it will be constructed. So this will be, you know,
it will be constructed well in advance of the need
to divert the water into this channel, so there's
plenty of time to do the investigations and get
things right before water flows through this
channel.
Q. Are there measures available to Shell to deal with
events like channel overflows or breaches from
things, from events like ice jams or beaver dams?
A. You know, the diversion channel is, you know, it's
a fairly large diversion, but it's nothing special.
So in our design, which is admittedly at a
conceptual level at the moment, it is designed with
berms. These will be oversized berms. The
overtopping of a berm and loss of containment to

have the Muskeg River flow into the pit would be
definitely a bad thing, so it's not a great deal of
effort to prevent that from happening, even in the
case of an ice jam.
Q. Would you agree or disagree that there have been
several changes to Shell's Mine and Tailings Plan
since the original Application was submitted?
A. MR. ROBERTS: Yes, that's fair to say.
Q. And is Shell confident that there will be
sufficient capacity in the proposed overburden
storage areas to properly contain all the
overburden waste material?
A. MR. SAWYER: Yes, we're confident the
additional storage in what we've called the Fort
Hills dump in the Jackpine Mine Expansion area has
significant additional capacity to manage any
waste. The footprint that's shown there is
reflective of the material balance that's part of
this plan, but there is quite a bit of additional
space to either expand the footprint or actually
take it up an elevation as well to accommodate more
material.
Q. And is Shell planning to place landfills and/or
soft tailings deposits in the overburden disposal
areas?

A. So the overburden disposal areas are designed to
manage both slop that occurs as part of the regular
operations and we're also reviewing as part of
Directive 074 initiatives to manage what we call
atmospheric fines, dried fines material into our
dumps. That is one of several options that are
being investigated with the Directive 074
initiatives. However, with the current AFD
operations at MRM, we are managing that material
into the dump there, so we do have some information
on how that can be accommodated.
Q. So sounds to me, Mr. Sawyer, that you said that
you're not planning to do that but you might
consider doing that if you needed to; is that
right?
A. That is correct.
Q. And if Shell decided to do that, could that impact
Shell's dump storage capacity, construction or
performance?
A. As I mentioned, the dumps, the conceptual design
for the dumps that is there already considers
handling of soft materials, the slop that's managed
as part of regular operations, and the incremental
management of fines with regards to tailings
deposits, dried tailings deposits, would not

fundamentally impact dump storage.
Q. I just wanted to go back, if I could, for a second,
to the diversion channel. Will dewatering
operations in north areas of the mine lead to
induced seepage from the diverted Muskeg River
whether in lined or in unlined areas?
A. MR. FITCH: Once again, the same concerns
around pit stability leads Shell to ensuring that
there's a barrier to prevent seepage out of the --
exfiltration out of the channel. So the short
answer is no.
Q. Has dewatering been accounted for in the channel
design?
A. Once again, at the moment we're at a conceptual
level. This has certainly been discussed. I guess
I can only repeat that in order to ensure that the
pit wall integrity is maintained, Shell will ensure
that the exfiltration from the channel bed is
minimal and that, that by that same process,
there's prevention of the interaction of dewatering
and the flows through the channel.
Q. Panel, I'll give you another reference from the
Application, Exhibit 001-001A, Volume 1, it's
Section 3.1, page 3.2. Shell states:

"The salt dissolution front
is currently interpreted as lying
below the Athabasca River. The
Jackpine Mine Expansion area is
situated east of the front, where
most of the salt in the Devonian
section has been leached out."
We're wondering if Shell has geological
interpretation maps and/or cross-sections showing
the salt dissolution front?
A. MR. ROBERTS: So could I get clarification
on that. The salt, the salt dissolution front,
what strata are we referring to?
Q. The Devonian, Mr. Roberts.
A. We have within the Jackpine Mine Expansion area, we
have, just have drilling data that goes in and tags
the Devonian, we haven't done any drilling beyond
the Devonian into the Halic Formations below.
Q. But is that all Shell used when it interpreted when
it came to the conclusion that's reflected in the
statement I read to you about Shell interpreting
the salt dissolution front lying below the
Athabasca River? I guess I'm trying to get to how
much work you've done and how strong your

conclusion is about the location of the salt
dissolution.
A. So just bear with me while I find that reference.
Q. I'm being told it's PDF page 68.
A. So I believe the data that we used for this was
regional data, and it's general in nature. And as
we firm up our understanding of the Devonian and
the stratas below the Devonian, as we get into our
mined footprint, we will have a much better
understanding of what we have below within the
Halic and the salt advance.
Q. So I'm just going to circle back to the question,
Mr. Roberts. We're interested in getting from you
geological interpretation maps or cross-sections
that Shell may have done to help them come to this
interpretation of where the salt dissolution front
is. So I guess the first part of that is do you
have those?
A. So we don't have those presently with us.
Q. You don't have them with you at the hearing?
A. No. And I would have to go back and --
Q. And to be fair to you, I'm not surprised.
A. Pardon me?
Q. I'm not surprised. Can we get them from you as an
undertaking?

A. Yeah, we'll do an undertaking to understand where
we got that information from, the core hole
information --
Q. Well --
A. -- that would have allowed us to define where those
horizons are within the subsurface.
Q. Okay, I'm going to try to make it even easier for
you. I thought you said you have interpretation
maps and cross-sections or a cross-section?
A. We have cross-sectional areas from the Devonian up.
Q. That you would have relied on to come to your
conclusions about the location of the salt
dissolution front?
A. Not from those. From regional data.
Q. Okay, but you have the cross-sections?
A. We have the cross-sections from the Devonian up,
which wouldn't show the salt advance.
Q. We're not going to ask you for what you don't have.
That's fine, we don't need that undertaking,
Mr. Denstedt.
What I would like to ask you is what are the
geo-mechanical characteristics of the Devonian
sections that have been leached out?
A. So we haven't done any drilling into the Devonian,
other than tagging it, so we wouldn't have that

information for the Jackpine Mine Expansion area.
We would have that information prior to finalizing
our pit design.
Q. Does Shell interpret any geological features such
as cavings, karst, sinks or faults in the Project
area?
A. So we have Devonian surfaces at a drill spacing
that allows some general interpretation. As we
progress the faces, we will be doing a more, a
tighter drill spacing which allows us to interpret
where we may or may not have anomalies in the
Devonian surfaces.
Q. And if you find those features, Mr. Roberts, what
are their potential impacts on your operations?
And I know you had a bit of a discussion I think
with Ms. Flook about this, what measures can you
take to address that?
A. Yeah, sure, we would employ geological protocols
that we have in place, but I'll let Mr. Mayes speak
to this because he dealt with this issue at our
Muskeg River Mine.
A. MR. MAYES: So out of the Cell 2A
experience at the Muskeg River Mine, as a result of
that experience, we spent considerable time and
effort to understand the structure of the Devonian

surface and below. And out of that work, we have
an understanding of how to predict areas of higher
hazard and higher risk for the presence of cracks
or casts that may allow the fluid, the passage of
fluid upwards.
So we've completed those surveys in the
Muskeg River Mine, and we are just completing them
in Jackpine Mine, so just getting to the point of
completing them.
So we've learnt how to do that process.
When we apply that to JPME, we'll get a map
of the subsurface that hopefully won't show any
areas of concern. But if there was an area of
concern, we have some options about how to manage
that hazard. So one simple option is to leave the
area untouched, that would be at one end of the
scale. Then we could have something more
intermediate where we remove the overburden and
mine but leave some in-situ oil sands over the
higher risk area, so that's less drastic.
We also have options to drill into the
Devonian surface and place any number of types of
grouts into the casts or fractures or passageways
to seal them up proactively before we would then
mine the surface out.

So there's a range of techniques that we have
at our availability and all of them depend on the
actual hazard that we see.
Q. And it sounded to me, Mr. Mayes, that some of the
options, then, would result in the sterilization of
bitumen?
A. That is an option that we would have. That's
probably the simplest option, if you see a hazard,
you simply don't mine in the area, but that's not
necessarily in the greater benefit of the people of
Alberta and Canada. So that would be an extreme
situation.
I think we're more likely to be proactive and
seal the features that we can see with some kind of
a grouting mechanism.
Q. If you had to sterilize, though, there's a process
for that; right?
A. Yes, there is.
Q. And what do you have to do?
A. What we would obviously do if we uncovered an area
of higher risk in our footprint, we would involve
the ERCB in that information that we gathered, we
would work to determine the most appropriate range
of options. If we were exhausted, if we exhausted
all of the options except for sterilization, then

we would go through the process with the ERCB to
sterilize that particular block.
Q. Panel, the last question I have on this line, in
Volume 1 of the Application, Figures 3-6 and 3-8
show Pleistocene Channel interconnections with
Syncrude and Imperial lease boundary areas.
I wonder if you could just tell us what some
of the potential impacts of Pleistocene
connectivity with other adjacent leaseholders might
be with respect to mining operations?
A. MR. ROBERTS: Yes, so we are aware of that
and we are continuing with our drilling programs to
understand the extent of the PCA. Some of the
impacts that could be with exposing the Pleistocene
Channel would be dewatering of that channel and
drawing down water from other areas. We are
working cooperatively with Syncrude and Imperial
Kearl and ourselves to understand the nature of
that Pleistocene Channel, and we look to put
appropriate measures in place to manage that,
either cut-off walls, avoidance of the area, or
dewatering wells.
Q. I assume, Mr. Roberts, given that it's an issue
across leaseholders, would you agree that a
cooperative approach is essential for that?

A. Absolutely.
MR. PERKINS: Mr. Chairman, I've got some
process questions. My estimate would be these are
30 to 45 minutes worth of questions and responses.
I don't know how you want to proceed, if you want
me to dig into those or hold those for Monday.
THE CHAIRMAN: You know, I think we're close
enough to 3:00 p.m. that you can keep those for
Monday as a unit. And we'll call it a day.
We're going to resume at 10:00 a.m. on
Monday. Don't forget to change your clocks. And
safe travels.
