  1. Unless otherwise noted, data covers natural gas transmission, gathering, processing and trucking operations of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. and Enbridge Offshore operated by Enbridge Inc.
  2. Reflects aggregate throughput of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., natural gas transmission, gathering and processing lines and Enbridge Offshore operated by Enbridge Inc.
  3. 1 barrel = 0.159 cubic metres or 42 United States gallons (all liquid products).
  4. Includes pipeline miles for transmission, processing, gathering, and Dufour Petroleum, our U.S. trucking services business. In past CSR reports we included statistics for both ‘length of right-of-way’ and ‘length of pipeline’. These two measurements are similar. However, “length of pipeline’ is all inclusive as it measures multiple pipelines in the same right-of-way. Therefore, starting with this CSR report, we are reporting only ‘length of pipeline’.
  5. Major incidents are EH&S events that result in a critical employee or contractor injury or fatality, significant regulatory enforcement action, a liquid spill in excess of 100 barrels, or significant adverse impact to the environment.
  6. A regulatory notification is a formal written notification by regulators that Enbridge may not be adhering to legal, regulation or permit requirements. Examples of notifications include formal warnings, enforcement actions, summonses and charges, notices of violation, and stop and control orders. Notifications do not include field inspection reports or other informal communications. Notifications may result in fines or penalties.
  7. EH&S fines and penalties are levied against the Company as a result of regulatory notifications. Fines and penalties in a particular year often relate to activities in prior years. Reported in United States dollars.
  8. Measures hours of EH&S training per operations employee. Does not include additional training provided to office employees.
  9. Because of different regulatory requirements and business needs, our United States Gas Transportation Business does not track some corporate performance indicators. A key priority of this business operation is full compliance with existing regulatory requirements. The Company’s management system provides accountability for achieving this performance.
  1. Figures cover all assets under the operational control of the United States Gas Transportation Business. Given the preliminary nature of this inventory, Enbridge cannot warrant the accuracy or completeness of this information. 2005 GHG data are actual figures based on our first annual inventory. 2006 data will be available in late 2007 or early 2008. The inventory was conducted according to methodology outlined in the API Compendium of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Methodologies for the Oil and Gas Industry (February 2004). Enbridge utilized equipment level calculations for its plants and compressor stations and facility level estimates for all other facilities. The inventory can be considered as between a Tier I and a Tier II inventory as widely described and recognized among industry groups.
  2. Direct emissions intensity numbers are not available for Trucking (Dufour Petroleum) as this is not a useful measure in the case of the trucking business.
  3. A reportable spill is any spill reportable to a regulatory jurisdiction.
  4. Includes liquid spills from gas transmission and the limited number of liquids pipelines that are included in the United States Gas Transportation Business segment.
  5. Health and safety statistics refer only to Enbridge employees. Personal injury classifications are based on United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reporting guidelines for occupational injuries and illnesses.
  6. Measure of any work-related injury or illness that prevents a worker from reporting to work on the next calendar day.
  7. Includes days-away and medical-aid injuries.
