The AER had originally scheduled a public hearing of the applications starting on July 13, 2015. However the AER received requests from interested parties to reschedule the hearing and agreed to grant the request.

Description of the Applications
Pembina has applied under the Pipeline Act for approval to construct and operate two pipelines from Legal Subdivision (LSD) 8 of Section 36, Township 62, Range 20, West of the 5th Meridian, to a pump station at LSD 04-35-054-24W4M. The proposed pipelines would be about 270 kilometres (km) long with maximum outside diameters of 406.4 and 609.6 millimetres, respectively, and would transport low- and high-vapour-pressure condensate and crude oil with a maximum hydrogen sulphide concentration of 0.0 moles per kilomole (0.0 per cent) to existing processing facilities. The pipelines would start about 1 km west of Fox Creek and end about 0.7 km west of Edmonton (see figure 1).

Additionally, Pembina has applied under the Public Lands Act for 15 pipeline agreements. The agreements would grant access to a permanent right-of-way with a width of 35 metres (m) and, during construction, an additional 10 m wide temporary workspace.

Pembina has also applied under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act for approval of a conservation and reclamation plan, which includes construction and post-construction reclamation of the portion of the project that is located within the White Area.
