Presents the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a panel that examined the environmental effects likely to result from the construction and operation of the Express Pipeline Project, including mitigation measures and the need for a follow-up program. The project consists of an oil pipeline running from terminal facilities at Hardisty, Alberta, to the United States border near Wild Horse, Alberta, plus associated pump stations, roads, terminal, valves, and upstream facilities. Includes a review of the public consultation process held with respect to the project. Issues discussed include pipeline construction schedule and routing, facility site selection, malfunctions and accidents, environmental inspection and monitoring, and potential effects of the project on soils and agriculture, vegetation, hydrology, fisheries, wildlife, air emissions, noise, and heritage resources.
