New energy regulator will weaken environmental protection, say critics

BY SHEILA PRATT, EDMONTON JOURNAL

MARCH 17, 2013

EDMONTON – Some critics are worried the Alberta government’s new regulatory body for oil, gas and coal could result in weaker, less transparent application of environmental protection laws. Energy Minister Ken Hughes is trying to soothe those concerns, saying a new government branch, the Policy Management Office, will monitor the

Alberta Energy Regulator to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Hughes said the government has built in checks to ensure the new regulator applies the laws evenly when it takes over the job of issuing water permits and other environmental permits — a job currently done by Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. Both the energy minister and the Policy Management Office can give directions to the regulator if necessary, Hughes said, adding there will be regular discussions between the parties, though the regulator operates at arm’s length from government.

MLA Rachel Notley, the New Democrat’s environment critic, is worried Environment’s ability to do its job may be severely curtailed, especially when it comes to ensuring water quality, when it loses jurisdiction over energy sector permits.

Under the old system, Environment issued permits under three provincial laws, the Water Act, the Public Lands Act, and the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, for all industries.

Under the new system, energy sector permits are removed from Environment — in effect, putting outside government the job of administering three key environmental laws for one major sector of the economy, Notley said.

This move may “decimate” the ministry’s ability to protect the environment, she said.

She wondered if Environment will be hamstrung, asking how the department can develop coherent water policy when a major sector of the economy is outside its jurisdiction.

“I think the future of the ministry is in great jeopardy and their ability to enforce laws in other areas is very compromised if the new act takes away all the decisions relating to oil, gas and coal development.”

Under Bill 2, the Responsible Energy Development Act, the new regulator starts in June.

For oil companies, the change is welcome, as it means there’s one window for all permits under those laws, said Greg Stringham of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, or CAPP.

“At the end of the day it will be better to deal with one body, rather than three.”

But more importantly, Environment can concentrate on policy work, while the regulator administers the laws and permits, which makes for a clearer division of labour, Stringham said.

Cindy Chiasson from the Environmental Law Centre said using one regulator to issue all permits isn’t necessarily bad for the administration of environmental laws.

But the new body will need a lot of expertise and new mechanisms so the public can monitor its work to be sure it is being as tough on the energy industry as it should be, she said. “For the new ERCB (Energy Resources Conservation Board) to make good environmental decisions, it needs the expertise,” Chiasson said.

“The next question — will the energy industry get a break on environmental permits because it has its own regulator? You need a mechanism to make sure the new regulator is not going easy on the energy industry ”

The Environment Department declined to say if any of its experts are moving over to the new regulator. They are free to apply for those jobs when they are posted, spokeswoman Nikki Booth said.

But there will still be plenty of work for the department in devising land-use plans for each watershed in the province. The Lower Athabasca Land Use Plan in the northeast is still being worked on.

Wade Clark is the boss of the of the new 12-person Policy Management Office. He’s confident the energy industry won’t be getting any breaks when it comes to applying environmental laws.

“There are good checks and balances in the system.”

For instance, if the regulator wants to make technical changes to water permits for oil companies only, it has to give the government 120 days notice, he said.

“So the government has time to decide whether it needs to step in and develop a new policy, or adopt the new one proposed by the new regulator.”

Clark’s office has a second job — to take the lead in developing new environmental policy, which means lots of public engagement. In the old world, the government often dragged its feet on environmental policy for the fast-moving energy industry, so the ERCB stepped into the gap. For example, it came up with new regulations on tailings ponds when there was no sign the Environment Department would do so.

“Now those policy discussions will go directly to the new policy management office, and that gives everyone the right forum to have a policy discussion,” Energy Minister Hughes said. Clark’s office resides in the Energy Department, but Environment is closely involved, he said.

“We’ll make sure the heavy lifting in making policy stays with AESRD (Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development) and other departments.”

CAPP is pleased with that new division of labour, which it says provides “much needed clarity.’’

By default, public hearings on specific projects became the only forum to discuss issues such as air pollution and habitat destruction — not the appropriate place.

“Now we’ll have a clear distinction — it’s the government that sets the policy and that’s separate from the regulator,” Stringham said. When necessary, “the regulator will ask government for policy — and it should be more efficient.

Chris Severson Baker of the Pembina Institute, an environmental research group, said environmentalists like the idea of a better forum to raise their issues, but will closely watch the Policy Management Office to see if it measures up.

“If there is intent for government to be more proactive on policy, that’s good,” he said.

But so far, no rules are set about who can initiate a policy discussion or how environmental groups can bring ideas forward to the new office, he said.

“People are optimistic about this, with reservations. They want to know how their issue will be raised.”

Notley, meanwhile, said she’s skeptical about the government’s message that there will be plenty of consultation on new policy. “The message is, it is more important for Albertans to be at the front end on policy development,” she said.

But in the approval process, there is less room for public hearings on contentious projects and tighter restrictions who can appear at public hearings, she said.

The new regulator is not obliged to hold a hearing when requested and that decision is harder to appeal, Notley added.

If a hearing is denied, a person can appeal to officials within the board, and any legal challenge must go to the Alberta Court of Appeal, not the lower Court of Queen’s Bench.

The appeal court only has the power to send the decision back to the regulator for reconsideration, so “it sends up a never-ending loop,” she said.

“This is exactly the opposite direction it should go.” St. Albert lawyer Keith Wilson said rural landowners are worried about the lack of an outside appeal process and the narrower definition of intervener status.

Only those who are negatively and adversely affected are eligible for a hearing, narrower wording than in the old act, said Chiasson of the Environmental Law Centre.

“That’s too narrow, I’d put in ‘demonstrable and genuine interest.’ ”

Hughes said he has opened the system so people can “self-identify” as someone with an interest. But the board does not have to accept them as interveners.

Unlike the ERCB, the new regulatory agency will have a small board of governors and those governors, or commissioners, will not sit on the panels for public hearings. The minister of energy will appoint the board.

Various experts will be hired for the public hearing panels, depending on the expertise needed, such as land issues or pipelines, Hughes said.

Province pushes Keystone XL pipeline with another round of U.S. ads

 By Bryan Weismiller, Calgary Herald April 7, 2013 2:27 PM

CALGARY —  Alberta is releasing another series of advertisements in U.S. publications aimed at convincing Americans that approving the Keystone XL pipeline would benefit both sides of the border.

The advertisements, which carry a $77,000-price tag, are being rolled out in the Washington Post and news websites this week as Premier Alison Redford returns to Capitol Hill to pitch power brokers on the value of the controversial oil pipeline.

“These ads are targeted at key decision-makers in the Washington area,” Neala Barton, press secretary for Redford, told the Herald.

“We want them to know about the province’s strong environmental record and the huge potential for energy security and job creation that the pipeline would bring.”

The quarter-page Post ad, titled “Keystone XL: The Choice of Reason,” appeals to American patriotism, middle-class prosperity and neighbourly goodwill.

It’s almost identical to one that ran in a Sunday edition of the New York Times newspaper last month.

“America’s desire to effectively balance strong environmental policy, clean technology development, energy security and plentiful job opportunities for the middle class and returning war veterans mirrors that of the people of Alberta,” reads an advanced copy of the April 9 advertisement.

“This is why choosing to approve Keystone XL and oil from a neighbour, ally, friend, and responsible energy developer is the choice of reason.”

Barton noted new online ads, which are slated to run on political news sites — such as National Journal, Politico and Roll Call — will contribute to reaching an audience of more than 1.5 million people.

Advanced copies of the ads, obtained by the Herald on Saturday, tout industry restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions, government funding for clean technology projects and vast stretches of protected land in Alberta’s oilsands.

“Blessed with natural resource. And a conscience,” read all three versions of the online ads.

Chris Sands, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think-tank, expressed skepticism and characterized the Tory government’s sales pitch as a “teardrop in an ocean of political communication.”

“We’re bombarded by political ads from everybody all the time,” Sands said, in an interview from Washington.

“They just sort of wash over you.”

If approved, the Keystone XL pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels a day of Alberta oilsands bitumen through many states to the world’s largest refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Calgary-based TransCanada PipeLines Ltd., the company behind the 1,800-kilometre oil pipeline, has faced fierce opposition from environmentalists and their supporters. Opponents say it’s fostering new fossil fuel consumption from the oilsands, which they believe is dirty oil with high greenhouse gas emissions.

On Sunday, a coalition of Keystone opponents launched a new national TV ad campaign, hitting many of the U.S. morning talk shows. The “All Risk, No Reward” coalition membership includes faith groups, environmental advocates, and landowners along the proposed pipeline route.

The U.S. Senate has previously backed construction on the pipeline, but a final decision must come from U.S. President Barack Obama, who has twice rejected the $7-billion project.

Sands questioned the Redford government’s decision to keep Keystone XL in the news when a likely favourable ruling on its fate is expected in coming weeks. It could, he warned, stir up pre-presidential election debates that pit environmentalists against pipeline proponents who say it’ll boost a sagging economy.

“If we go back to the rhetoric of that period it’s going to be harder for the president to make a low-key decision to move forward,” said Sands, an expert on Canada-U.S. business and economic relations.

“There’s a chance, not a guarantee, that would be one of the effects of advertising that way at this time.”

On Monday, Redford begins her three-day trip in Washington. It’s her second trip to the U.S capital in two months. She will be joined by Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations Cal Dallas and Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Diana McQueen.

In addition to meeting with legislators and administration officials on both sides of the Keystone debate, Redford will speak at the Washington-based think tank Brookings Institution.

The entire cost of the mission is $34,000.

NDP Leader Brian Mason contended the Tory government should step up its environmental performance instead of trying to “convince the Americans that everything is rosy.”

While the ad boasts Alberta “was the first place in North America to legally require all large industry to curb greenhouse gas emissions,” Mason pointed to the Tory government’s acknowledgment it’s not close to meeting targets for reducing carbon emissions.

The province committed to slashing emissions by 50 megatonnes a year by 2020 but has averaged about 10 per cent of that since 2007.

“It’s extremely misleading if not false in describing Alberta’s environmental record,” Mason said of the New York Times advertisement.

Protti named new energy regulator

By Darcy Henton, Calgary Herald April 3, 2013

EDMONTON — The appointment of former oilfield executive Gerry Protti as board chairman of Alberta’s new one-window energy regulator has drawn mixed reviews, with applause from the oilpatch and jeers from some opposition critics.

Energy Minister Ken Hughes said the former Alberta Energy assistant deputy minister and Encana executive was selected from more than 100 applicants and a final shortlist of four to chair the board of the new Alberta Energy Regulator which comes on stream in June.

“He has an unusually diverse background of somebody who has served in public service, who understands the challenges of implementing public policy and who has experience in the industry,” Hughes said in an interview Tuesday.

He noted Protti was the founding president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and also has training in board governance, which will make him well-suited to take on the leadership of the new entity.

The job pays $165,000 base salary plus an additional $13,000 in per diems that can be claimed in the first year and $10,000 in subsequent years of the five-year appointment, Hughes said.

While some critics expressed alarm at Protti’s deep connections with the industry, Hughes said his oilpatch experience will be balanced through the appointment of a diverse board of three to five members and a chief executive.

But NDP critic Rachel Notley said she at first suspected the appointment was a late April Fools joke.

“Basically the new regulator has an obligation to Albertans to protect our water and our air and land and to ensure that our oil and gas development is sustainable,” she said. “Albertans need to trust that is what happening and that’s not going to happen when we appoint someone as closely tied to industry as Protti.”

Liberal Leader Raj Sherman also expressed concerns about Protti’s ties to the oilpatch and lack of a record on environmental issues. “I am concerned that the government has dropped the ball on the environment,” he said.

But Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said she’s convinced Protti is the best person for the job.

“I have a measure of confidence that somebody with that background may be able to put forward the kind of massive change to the new single regulator that will take in the interests of the public as well as the interests of industry,” she said. “I think he is the type of person who sees it from both sides.”

E. coli found in beef trim at southern Alberta meat-processing plant

The Canadian Press March 29, 2013

Potentially deadly E. coli bacteria was detected at a Cargill meat-processing plant in southern Alberta earlier this week. The bacteria was discovered in a portion of beef trim at the facility in High River and was flagged during routine safety testing.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Cargill both say none of the contaminated product got out of the plant.

Cargill spokesman Mike Martin says it proves new safety measures put in place are working.

Why Capitalists Should Oppose Keystone XL

Why You Should Oppose the Keystone XL

Everybody should object to TransCanada’s Abuse of Landowners.

By Chris Mayer, Editor of Mayer’s Special Situations

There is one reason why you should oppose the proposed $5.3 billion Keystone XL Pipeline. And it has nothing to do with “green religionists,” as The Wall Street Journal calls the opposition in today’s paper.

Instead, it has everything to do with a foreign oil company using U.S. government power to force Americans off their land in the name of “eminent domain.” It has everything to do with putting a 78-year-old grandmother in jail, pepper-spraying protestors and using other bullying tactics that would make the Mafia proud.

The Secret to TransCanada and Enbridge’s Success

Behind the pipeline industry is a poorly understood economic system

I came across this passage from a book I am reading, “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas J. Dilorenzo (pp 56).

 

It describes the economic system in North America at the time of Lincoln – one that in my opinion is very much more embedded and sophisticated today. It is a system under which pipelines have prospered – at landowner expense…Click here to read the whole article.

Abandonment Issues

A Cautionary Tale about what recent NEB changes have in store for landowners.

By Dave Core

Here is a scenario that will be faced by landowners and municipalities when pipelines are abandoned.

 Pipelines and their shareholders need to be putting away enough money to remove and clean up all abandoned pipelines but the captured regulator is only forcing companies to collect 20% of what will be needed and they are doing it 50 years to late.

 The National Energy Board (NEB) even admits that they have no idea who is really responsible after they approve Abandonment In Place, or what will happen should pipeline companies file for insolvency. Click here to read more.

Pipeline Whistle Blower Wins Award For Saying What Farmers Already Suspect

Pipeline Whistleblower Blower Receives National Award

By Editors

Evan Vokes, the former TransCanada employee and engineer that helped The Tyee and the CBC investigate rising pipeline incidents and rule breaking in the industry, will be the recipient of major whistleblower award in Ottawa today.

The 47-year-old Ontario-born Vokes will receive the 2013 Golden Whistle Blower Award sponsored by Canadians for Accountability and presented by an Ottawa-based group called Peace Order and Good Government (POGG).

Vokes told The Tyee that he didn’t see himself so much as a “whistleblower,” but as an engineer trying to comply with his profession’s mandatory code of ethics.

“To me the most outstanding issue is the practice of engineering during the construction of pipelines,” says Vokes. Click here to read more.

Capitalist Opposition to Keystone XL: Environment is not the only reason to object to bitumen pipelines – so is ‘EROEI’

By Pipeline Observer Editors

Several high profile environmentalists were arrested protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline outside the White House Wednesday.

Not exactly new news, you might think.

Ordinarily, you’d be right.

Not this time.

Not only was this protest staged by the relatively conservative Sierra Club – abandoning its traditional anti-civil disobedience stance – it was also attended by another unlikely rookie protester.

Legendary investor Jeremy Grantham planned to be there too, Fortune magazine reports.

Now, the 74-year-old manager of over $100-billion in assets – with billions in the energy sector as well – is a well known proponent of man made climate change. Click here to read the whole article.

Bill 2: The Alberta Energy “Super Regulator” Land Grab

By Dave Core

Let’s put the recent Alberta Land theft bills into perspective and along with them the most recent Bill 2, the Super Regulator Bill.

Alberta has looked at the federal National Energy Board Act (another super regulator) with envy for decades.  Provincial regulators across Canada have watched and envied the federal government and their regulator (the NEB), as they have successfully taken private land and handed it to their pipeline company friends without any retaliation from the landowners or any real accountability.  At the same time, the private risks, liabilities and costs of having those pipelines in the ground were transferred to those landowners by having title of the land remain in the landowner’s name.

Fracking secret is safe – JUDGE SIDES WITH WYOMING IN LAWSUIT OVER DISCLOSING FRACK FLUID INGREDIENTS

TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 2013 ✦ Lethbridge Herald page – A5

Mead Gruver

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS — CHEYENNE, WYO.

A judge in Casper has sided with the state of Wyoming and ruled against environmentalists who sought to obtain lists of  the ingredients that go into hydraulic fracturing fluids. Environmental groups had requested the ingredient lists from the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, arguing that the public needs to know what chemicals companies are putting underground.

They were denied on the grounds that the lists are trade secrets that may be withheld under Wyoming’s open records law. Natrona County District Judge Catherine Wilking has upheld the denial, ruling that the state official who withheld the information acted reasonably. The oil and gas commission oversees oil and gas drilling in Wyoming. The commission

chairman, Gov. Matt Mead, praised the ruling. “This decision recognizes the importance of a state-based approach to regulating hydraulic fracturing — one that balances this important method for producing energy with environmental protection,” he said Monday through spokesman Renny MacKay.

The lawsuit was filed against the commission by the Powder River Basin Resource Council, Wyoming Outdoor Council, Earthworks and OMB Watch. Oilfield services company Halliburton intervened on the state’s side. “We continue to believe we have strong claims, and we’re still concerned the Wyoming oil and gas commission is withholding this information from the public,” said Shannon Anderson, an attorney for the resource council. An appeal was an option, she said.

Specially formulated lubricants are used in fracking, which involves pumping water, fine sand and fracking fluids underground to split open oil and gas-bearing rocks. One purpose of fracking fluids is to help the sand flow into newly formed fissures and keep them propped open. In 2010, Wyoming became one of the first states to require companies to disclose to state regulators the ingredients in hydraulic fracturing chemicals. The goal was to help the regulators track the source of any groundwater

contamination that might occur at or near a drilling site.

Health and environment groups urge Alberta to go beyond weak federal rules for climate pollution from coal power and to implement a provincial renewable energy policy.

New report shows health and climate impacts from coal power cost Alberta millions

EDMONTON — The health impact costs associated with burning coal for electricity in Alberta are close to $300 million annually according to a new report released today by a coalition of Canadian health and environmental groups.

Coal plants are a major source of toxic air contaminants, including mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, and particulate matter. The study shows that in Alberta each year this pollution contributes to over 4,000 asthma episodes, over 700 emergency visits for respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, and around 80 hospital admissions, with chronic exposures resulting in nearly 100 premature deaths.

“Doctors agree that coal is a health hazard from start to finish,” says Farrah Khan with the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. “Coal-fired power plants put Albertans’ health at risk, especially the health of our children.”

“Pollution from coal power contributes to thousands of asthma episodes every year,” says Dr. Robert Oliphant, President and CEO of the Asthma Society of Canada. “On average in Alberta, a child visits an emergency department for asthma every 34 minutes, with pollution from coal power being a major contributor to these episodes.”

Recent polling suggests that only one in three Albertans know the majority of their electricity comes from coal. Though coal is generally seen as a cheap source of electricity, this analysis reveals that the health and social costs of coal pollution add at least 3.6 to 5 cents per kilowatt-hour, nearly doubling the cost of electricity production.

“Air pollution from coal is linked to respiratory conditions – chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, lung cancer, and pneumonia,” says Beth Nanni, Environmental Program Specialist with The Lung Association, Alberta & Northwest Territories. ”We urge the Alberta government to transition away from coal power and towards renewable energy as soon as possible.”

Alberta burns more coal than the rest of Canada combined, accounting for almost two-thirds of the electricity sold on Alberta’s market, releasing almost as much greenhouse gas emissions as all of the oilsands. According to the analysis, climate change impacts from coal-fired power range from $1.1 to 4.5 billion annually.

“Alberta has no shortage of viable renewable and low-carbon alternatives,” says Tim Weis, Director of Renewable Energy and Efficiency Policy with the Pembina Institute. “Currently these cleaner options are not competing on a level playing field because our market does not make polluters pay for the health and environmental costs.”

Current federal greenhouse gas regulations will eventually phase out coal plants, but not until they have been allowed to operate unmitigated for up to 50 years. The groups are urging Alberta to adopt a provincial renewable energy policy and to phase out existing coal plants faster than federal regulations require.

Representatives from each organization will be attending a press conference for the launch of the report in Edmonton today. For details, please see the media advisory.

The report — A Costly Diagnosis: Subsidizing coal power with Albertans’ health — is the first of its kind to assess the health and environmental costs of coal-fired electricity in Alberta. It was co-authored by the Asthma Society of CanadaCanadian Association of Physicians for the EnvironmentThe Lung Association, Alberta & the Northwest Territories, and the Pembina Institute.
