Task Overview definition
Task Overview. The effect areas generated in Task B for the several worst-case scenarios will be overlaid with relevant existing datasets on, e.g., species distributions, migration timing, wetland maps, locations of designated Critical Habitat, Essential Fish Habitat and Important Bird Areas, fisheries resources, and other sensitive ecosystems and features. The team will identify and produce expert-informed estimates of the magnitude and duration of impacts on potentially affected natural resources, including effects on air and water quality, on fish and wildlife, and on aquatic, benthic, and coastal habitats. The team will also evaluate the ecological impacts to natural resources that may result from proposed mitigation and restoration alternatives identified in Task F. Gaps in data, knowledge or any uncertainties will be identified.
Task Overview. The Section X team will engage in a qualitative risk identification to provide a comprehensive overview of risks that various affected communities perceive to arise in connections with the Straits Pipelines. Understanding perceived risks will provide qualitative guidance for the risk analysis frameworks carried out by the other Sections thereby strengthening their analysis. The Section X team will identify key actors likely to be impacted by a potential spill, including Indigenous communities, state and U.S. and Canadian local government officials, environmental and historic preservation groups, as well as tourism, fishing, and recreation industries. The team will first identify a range of risks and perspectives regarding the valuation of risk severity, and then explore the range of risk avoidance, tolerability, and acceptance concerns expressed by key actors. The Section X team will work closely with other sections to ensure that the identified risks, severity valuation perspectives, and other qualitative risk findings receive due consideration in the full risk analysis.
Task Overview. The team for Section A of the analysis will identify multiple specific “worst-case” spill scenarios for the Straits pipelines that will form the basis for the work of all other section teams. Beginning from the 40 CFR 194.5 definition of worst-case as “the largest foreseeable discharge of oil, including a discharge from fire or explosion, in adverse weather conditions”, Team A will also consider the maximum plausible potential release assuming failures of various

Section Team: Task Overview: The team for Task D will be responsible for assessing the scope and magnitude of impacts to public health and safety that could potentially occur in the event of a worst-case Line 5 spill, including contact or airborne exposure to waterborne and atmospheric contaminants, effects on drinking water sources, fire or explosion hazards, and associated disruptions to public health and safety systems.
