Emergency Management Program ___ __________________________Incident CostsCosts for any incident that meets the following definition under any of the NEB’s regulations are to bereported to the Board as described below: 1. An unintended or uncontrolled release of low-vapour pressure (LVP) hydrocarbons in excess of 1.5 m³ that extends beyond a company’s property; 2. Significant adverse effect on the environment; 3. rupture; 4. A toxic plume; and/or 5. loss of containment of any fluid from a well.Companies will be expected to report categorized costs related to the incident as follows: • Category 1 – Actual costs (to be reported separately) related to: o The emergency response, including containment of the incident; o The clean-up and remediation of the incident; and o The repair or replacement of regulated facilities. • Category 2 – Actual or estimated value of losses or damages not included in Category 1.Companies are expected to provide the above costs annually (calendar) beginning the year the incidentwas reported and ending either when there are no further costs related to the incident or 5 years afterthe incident was reported (inclusive of the year that is was reported), whichever occurs first.Reporting of costs will be integrated into the OERS at a later date and at that time OERS willautomatically determine when companies are required to report costs. However, until the systemchanges are made, the NEB will contact companies on an as-needed basis and will provide instructionsand a standard form to report costs.

Industrial CustomersIndustrial customers must be contacted as soon as practical when an emergency condition on thepipeline will impact service to the industrial facilities. Employees responding to an emergency conditionmay be faced with having to make a decision to limit or completely curtail service to industrialcustomers in order to protect lives or maintain service to Priority 1 and 2 customers as defined inCentra’s Gas Curtailment Policy which is attached in Annex 2. The protection of life is always theprimary objective when responding to a natural gas emergency. After public safety has been ensuredall reasonable efforts must be made to maintain service to customers in accordance with the gascurtailment policy. It is very important to establish and maintain communications with industrialcustomers to prevent damage to equipment and protect other customer assets as much as practical. 3.6. LDC CustomersLDC customers serve Priority 1 customers as defined in the Gas Curtailment Policy attached in Annex 2.LDC customers must be contacted as soon as practical when an emergency condition on the pipeline willimpact service to their facilities. Employees responding to an emergency condition must communicateand coordinate with LDC and industrial customers to maintain service to as much of the system aspossible while at the same time ensuring that the provisions of the Gas Curtailment Policy are followed. 3.7. Natural Gas SupplierTransCanada must be notified whenever there is an incident that will significantly increase or decreasethe throughput on Centra’s system. 3.8. Failure Investigation – Materials Testing LaboratoriesWhenever any material fails or there is a natural gas related incident of significance, it must bethoroughly investigated as soon as possible to determine the cause of the failure and if any correctivemeasures are required.Material FailureIt shall be reported to Management whenever a piece of material fails to comply with the standards towhich it was originally purchased under, or fails to perform the function for which it was intended.Management shall initiate the failure investigation. When an investigation is to be conducted, the failedmaterial shall be removed with care being taken not to damage or distort the item. The item will thenbe examined to determine the cause of failure, and a report shall be filed on the results of theexamination and possible ways of preventing a recurrence of the failure. The Custody Transfer Recordshall be used to document the chain of custody of the material as it is transported to the appropriatetesting facility. As appropriate the Metallurgical Examination Protocol can be used as a guide todetermine the probable causes of failure. Date: Manual Title: Page:5 Mar 2018 Emergency Management Program 49/52

Emergency Management Program ___ __________________________4. Emergency Management Program Continuous Review and ImprovementThe EMP is a living document that must be continuously monitored for changes that may be required inprocedures and stakeholder information and resources. To accomplish this, Centra personnel willconsider potential changes that may be required in the EMP because of something that may have beenobserved or learned in the day to day performance of their duties. Any potential changes shall becommunicated to the Manager, Pipeline Operations in writing. Minor changes such as changes instakeholder contact information or resources can be submitted for revision without further evaluation.More significant changes, such as changes in roles, responsibilities and procedures must be reviewedand evaluated by operations personnel and submitted to the Director, Pipeline operations on aManagement of Change form (Instructions)for approval.In addition to the continuous monitoring as described above, the EMP will be formally reviewed on anannual basis by operations staff. This review is intended to ensure that operations personnel arefamiliar with the contents and requirements of the EMP and to determine if any other changes orrevisions may be required. As a part of the annual review, contact and resource information for allstakeholders shall be confirmed: • Centra personnel contact information, material and equipment availability • Emergency Response Agency (Fire, Police, Ambulance, Emergency Management Agencies) contact information and resources • Contractor contact information, qualified personnel, material and equipment availability • Customer contact information • Regulatory agency contact information, changes in regulatory requirementsChanges to the EMP shall be made in accordance with the previous paragraph.5. Training and Coordination of ResourcesCentra personnel are trained in accordance with the Operator Qualification Program to ensure that theyhave the necessary knowledge and technical skills to perform the tasks that may be required whenresponding to an emergency condition on Centra’s system.Centra personnel will meet with other stakeholders to: 1. Familiarize them with the requirements of the EMP and the hazards that may exist when responding to an emergency involving Centra facilities. 2. Establish the responsibilities and resources of each of the stakeholders and how to coordinate those resources in the event of a pipeline emergency to minimize hazards to life or property.Because each stakeholder will have different roles and responsibilities in the event of an emergency,training materials and/or informational materials will be developed that are tailored to each stakeholderaudience.

EMP Gas Curtailment Policy List of Annexes Annex 02
Natural Gas Curtailment PolicyPURPOSEIn the unlikely event that Energy Fundamentals Group (EFG) determines the natural gas supplycontained within the natural gas transmission line is insufficient to meet the total customerdemands; the public interest requires that the curtailment of gas to customers be controlled in amanner which will consider customer priority consistent with guidelines established byregulatory authorities. EFG shall determine the quantity of gas which each customer shall beentitled to receive and promptly notify each affected customer regarding the curtailment andperiod covered. Such notice shall be given as far in advance as possible. EFG may change thecurtailment period and quantity of gas the customer may be entitled to if conditions require.APPLICABILITYThe Natural Gas Curtailment policy applies to all EFG customers and is premised on the fact thatnatural gas deliveries will be curtailed in consideration of the end-use of the natural gas.DEFINITIONSPriority 1 CustomerAny person who uses natural gas or local distribution company (LDC) who resells natural gas foruse in the following high priority classifications:1. In a residence;2. In a small commercial establishment;3. In a school or a hospital; or4. For police protection, for fire protection, in a sanitation facility or a correctional facility.In the case of an LDC, if necessary, the volume of natural gas that LDC’s are entitled to receiveshall be based on the amount of gas required to serve high-priority classifications as definedabove.Examples of small commercial establishments are businesses that are primarily engaged inwholesale or retail trade, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, transportation, communications, sanitaryservices, finance, insurance, real estate, personal services, government, etc.Priority 2 CustomerAny customer whose use of natural gas has been certified by the United States Secretary ofAgriculture as an essential agricultural use unless the use of an alternative fuel is economicallypracticable and reasonably available as determined by FERC in conjunction with the Secretary ofAgriculture.Priority 3 CustomerDate: IMS Program: Manual Title: Section: Page: Annex 2 1/222 April 2015 2 Emergency Management Program Controlled Copy - Do Not Duplicate Confidential - Not to be released outside of Energy Fundamentals Group
Natural Gas Curtailment PolicyLarge commercial and industrial customers primarily engaged in power production or in aprocess which creates or changes raw or unfinished materials into another form or product. Thisincludes mining and manufacturing.CURTAILMENT PROCEDURES 1. Deliveries to Priority 1 customers will not be reduced until deliveries to Priority 2 and Priority 3 customers have been fully reduced. 2. Deliveries to Priority 2 customers will not be reduced until deliveries to Priority 3 customers have been fully reduced. 3. Available capacity will be divided between Priority 3 customers on a pro rata basis according to customers’ current contract entitlements unless another mutually agreeable arrangement can be negotiated between the customers for an alternative capacity distribution that better serves the needs of the customers at the time of curtailment. 4. In the event that a delivery capacity limitation is applicable only to a specific segment of the pipeline or area then the reductions prescribed above may be limited to that segment or area. 5. Variations in the reduction of deliveries as described above shall be permitted by EFG when necessary to respond to emergency situations where supplemental deliveries are required to forestall irreparable injury to life or property; provided, however, that when supplemental deliveries are made EFG shall balance out such supplemental deliveries by increased delivery reductions as long as those reductions do not result in an emergency situation on another part of the system.Date: IMS Program: Manual Title: Section: Page: Annex 2 2/222 April 2015 2 Emergency Management Program Controlled Copy - Do Not Duplicate Confidential - Not to be released outside of Energy Fundamentals Group

Page 1 of 10 Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination ProtocolIntroductionThe objective of a metallurgical analysis of a line pipe failure is to assign one or more probablecauses for the failure. The failure analysis may identify issues that must be remediated to ensurethe integrity of other sections of the failed line pipe as well as other pipeline segments withsimilar characteristics (i.e. pipe manufacturer, seam type, grade, other specifications, coatingtype, and environmental conditions). This protocol specifically addresses the failure analysis ofline pipe. Failure analysis of pipeline appurtenances (such as valves, flanges, bolts, etc.) may usethe same methodologies as those outlined herein, but a unique test plan should be developed tohandle the unique characteristics of the appurtenance.Besides a metallurgical analysis of the line pipe, the internal and external environment of the linepipe must be considered to arrive at the causal factors that may have caused the line pipe to fail.Therefore, the presence of corrosion products inside and outside the line pipe in the area of thefailure must be considered and collected for analysis, as appropriate. For example, soil in theimmediate area of the failure, dislodged soil adjacent to the ejected pipe, and soil that hadadhered to the line pipe may have to be collected for analysis.Photographic documentation of the failed section of line pipe prior to its departure from theaccident site and upon its arrival at the testing facility must be available to ensure any damagefrom mishandling is appropriately noted. Before the shipment of the failed section, properpreservation techniques for the fracture surfaces and the section (including coating), if required,should be identified (such as Visqueen®, SaranWrap®, oils, and other protective covers), and achain of custody should be established for transfer of the failed section to the testing facility.Before the failed section arrives at the testing facility, it should be determined if destructivetesting of the failed section has been approved. Only non-destructive testing is allowed in someinstances to preserve the pipe intact for evidentiary purposes. In some instances destructivetesting can only occur when all interested parties agree to its necessity and a consensus protocolcan be crafted establishing those that can witness the destructive tests.A typical sequence of analysis is discussed in this document. Engineering decisions must bemade during any failure analysis, and the results of each step dictate the next procedure to beperformed. The need for other tests to be performed is a determination that should be madeduring the course of the investigation. In this instance, the proposed test plan should be modifiedto reflect these changes. It is a waste of resources to routinely perform a test or analysis that hasno relevance to the failure. The following steps are suggested as guidance. • Background information • Visual and non-destructive examination • Physical measurements • Corrosion examination • Fractography examination • Metallographic examination • Mechanical propertiesMetallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 2 of 10Background InformationBackground information should be collected on the pipeline operating history, pipelineattributes, operating pressure, and failure pressure. Background information provides theinvestigators data crucial to understanding the technical environment the pipeline was operatingin and it assists in identifying potential contributors to the failure. Table 1 provides guidance ondata that may be collected and used during the failure investigation.Photographic evidence should be collected to document the failure site and other pertinent detailsregarding the failure. At the least, items of interest for photographic documentation may includethe following: • Overview of failure site including local topography • Overview of line pipe failure area • Detail of fracture surface(s), magnified appropriately to show all relevant features at the fracture surfaces and the fracture origin • Detail of coating in area of failure • Detail of areas of internal and external corrosion near the fracture surface • Details of residues or corrosion products near the fracture surface • Details of areas indicating outside force damageWhen removing the failed section, any indication of residual stress in the line should bedocumented. Spring or movement of the pipe when the first circumferential cut is completedwould indicate the presences of residual stress. Document the relative location and distancebetween the cut ends after the first cut is completed.Visual and Nondestructive Examination1. Photographically document the pipe in the “as-received” condition before initiating the metallurgical analysis. Documentation may include the following: • Fracture area and surface • Seams • Girth welds • Coating condition • Anomalies • Manufacturing flaws or defects • Pitting and/or evidence of corrosion on internal and external pipe surfaces2. Perform visual examination of the internal and external pipe surfaces in the “as-received” condition, and document any anomalies that may be present in the pipe such as the following: • Cracks • Crevices • Dents • Bends • Buckles • Gouges • Manufacturing defectsMetallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 3 of 10 • Wrinkles, tents or damage to the coating • Pitting and/or evidence of corrosion on internal and external pipe surfaces • Presence of corrosion products and/or deposits • Describe coating, and coating damage (disbonding) if any, in the vicinity of fracture origin and at other locations in the failed pipe sample • Describe any internal coating or linings (if used) • Examine the pipe sample surface for evidence of stress corrosion cracking • Examine for evidence of arc burns, excessive grinding around the surface area near the crack • If corrosion is evident, collect corrosion products for analysis3. Collect solid and liquid samples, if present, from the pipe surface, and conduct elemental analysis and microbial tests on these samples, as appropriate. Examples of samples that may be collected are, but not limited to, the following: • Liquid accumulated underneath the coating • Corrosion products and/or deposits from the internal and external surfaces of pipe surface • Soil adhering to the pipe4. If coating is to be removed, it should be removed in a manner that will not be injurious to the pipe. Photographically document and visually inspect the pipe again following coating removal (see 1. and 2. above for guidance).5. It may be necessary to inspect the failed section of pipe for cracking, stress corrosion cracking, or any other condition that could affect the long term integrity of the pipeline using nondestructive testing techniques. The surfaces of the pipe surrounding the rupture should be cleaned with an appropriate non-abrasive cleaner and subsequently inspected using a wet fluorescent magnetic particle inspection (WFMT) method. The WFMT method is preferred because internal and external defects can be readily identified. Other nondestructive examination techniques such as Fluorescent Penetrant, Radiographic, Eddy-Current, Ultrasonic Inspection, and Alternating Current Potential Drop may also be used.6. The physical location of all samples to be removed from the pipe for examination and metallurgical analysis should be documented such that all relevant features are visible (graphically and/or photographically).Physical Measurements1. Measure the diameter and wall thickness on undisturbed areas of the pipe to confirm the information provided in the “Background Information Data Sheet”.2. Measure the diameter and wall thickness at selected locations to determine actual values at these selected locations. Measure and record the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe at each end of each sample. (Wall thickness should be determined based upon four measurements taken 90 degrees apart.)3. Verify roundness and geometry of pipe at the extremeties and closer to the failed surface.Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 4 of 104. Measure the wall thickness around fracture surfaces and any damaged areas. If corrosion is identified near or around the fracture surfaces, a “corrosion map” should be produced detailing the extent of the corrosion on the pipe surfaces and the pipe wall thicknesses in those areas. This information may be needed to support remaining strength calculations, if required.5. Align the pipe samples to conform to the pre-fracture bend geometry.6. Determine and mark the location of the electric-resistance weld at each end of each sample.7. Determine whether or not any part of each rupture falls within the electric-resistance weld zone.8. Measure and record the length of each sample.9. Record any markings detected on the inside or outside surfaces of the pipes.10. Measure rupture lengths tip-to-tip.11. Measure the shortest circumferential distance from each fracture origin to the nearest electric-resistance weld.12. Measure the axial distance from each fracture origin to the nearest girth weld, if any.13. Map wall thickness of each sample within 12 inches upstream and downstream of each rupture origin. Measurements will be taken on a 2-inch square grid pattern that is centered on the fracture origin and that encompasses 100 percent of the pipe circumference at each origin.14. Determine depths of cracks using direct exploration (grinding), shear wave ultrasonic testing (UT), Alternating Current Potential Drop (ACPD) or other suitable methods.Corrosion ExaminationSurface deposits and residues associated with the fracture area and adjacent areas should becollected and analyzed to characterize and determine the origin of the deposits.Based on the results of the visual, non-destructive, and metallographic examinations, thepresence of corrosion should be documented, and the type and characteristics of any corrosionpresent should be evaluated. Remaining strength calculations (RSTRENG/ASME B31G) maybe performed on corroded areas to support the failure investigation.Fractographic Examination1. Visually examine the fracture surfaces in detail to identify the characteristics of the fracture, the nature of the original defect, and the failure initiation point(s). It may become necessaryMetallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 5 of 10 to open the fracture surface in order to conduct part of the examination, and a suitable technique that is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the failure should be used to open the fracture surface.2. Clean samples in an Endox or Citronox solution to remove loose rust, scale, etc. as necessary.3. Utilize a suitable method to thoroughly document the fracture surface including dimensional documentation. Suitable methods to document the fracture surface include, but are not limited to, the following: • Foil method • Photographs of macroscopic examination4. Remove selected fractographic samples as necessary for detailed microscopic examination using optical or scanning electron microscope. Examine and document the fracture surface morphology. When chevron marks are present on the fracture surface, they typically point back towards the fracture origin in steels with an ultimate tensile strength of 60,000 psi and less. It is important to be able to characterize the fracture surface morphology, and fractures can be classified into four groups on a macroscopic scale, as follows: • Ductile fractures • Brittle fractures • Fatigue fractures • Fractures resulting from combined effects of stress and environment • Under low magnification under TLM, observe if there is evidence of fatigue, and ridges to indicate application of high pressure, such as due to hydrostatic testing.Metallographic Examination1. Identify metallographic sample origin (sample identification, location, orientation, etc.), perform metallographic evaluation, and take representative photomicrographs. Areas of particular concern are: • At or near the fracture origin • Fracture surfaces • Weld seams • Anomalies • Areas with indications of defects or cracks identified through visual and/or non- destructive testing • Areas exhibiting “typical” microstructures of the base metal, weld metal, and heat- affected-zone2. Perform micro-hardness profiles at appropriate locations such as the following: • At or near the fracture origin • Weld seams3. Metallographic samples should be examined to characterize and validate any appropriate issues specific to the failure such as:Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 6 of 10• Pipe specification, grade, and heat treatment• Weld seam in area of fracture• Weld seam in un-affected area• Corrosion• Indications of outside force damageMechanical PropertiesTesting should be performed to determine the mechanical properties of the pipe and anyappurtenances. Mechanical properties of test specimens should not be taken from areas of thepipe that have been plastically deformed as a result of the failure. These mechanical tests shouldat least include the following: • Tensile testing • Charpy V-notch testing • Chemical analysisTensile TestingTensile test specimens should be prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM A370(Mechanical Testing of Steel Products) for the pipe base metal and weld seams to measure yieldstrength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation. The pipe base metal should, at a minimum betested in the transverse direction, and weld seam specimens should be taken across the weldseam.Charpy V-notch Impact TestingCharpy V-notch (CVN) specimens should be prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM E23(Notched Bar Impact Testing of Metallic Materials) to determine the toughness characteristics ofthe pipe in the L-T (transverse) direction. In some cases (depending on pipe size and wallthickness) it may be necessary to use sub-size specimens. Results from CVN testing may bereported in some or all of the following forms depending on the testing results: • Upper-Shelf Energy (in ft-lbs) • Lower-Shelf Energy (in ft-lbs) • Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Temperature (in °F) determined from graphical representation of testing results • Test Temperature corresponding to 15 ft-lbs of absorbed impact energy • Fracture Appearance Transition Temperature (in °F) corresponding to 50 % shear • Lateral expansion (to measure notch toughness)In some steels it may be difficult to measure percent shear because of “woody” fracture surfaces.In these cases it would be more appropriate to use lateral expansion and absorbed energymeasurements to obtain a more accurate transition temperature. A sample testing methodologyfor generating Charpy V-notch Curves for line pipe steels is provided in Table 2.Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
Page 7 of 10Chemical AnalysisThe chemical composition of the pipe material should be determined using an appropriatemethod to validate the pipe specification and grade, as well as, to determine its carbon equivalent(for weldability issues). Spectrochemical methods (i.e. optical emission) are usually employedto determine steel chemical compositions. Wet chemical methods may also be used.Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and either x-ray diffraction (XRD) or x-ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS) analyses may be used to determine elements and compounds present insurface deposits that were collected during the visual examination..Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004

Page 10 of 10 Table 2 – A testing methodology for generating Charpy V-notch Curves for line pipe steelsNote: The following is an example test protocol to generate a Charpy V-notch (CVN) Curve andto determine the Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Temperature (DBTT) for API-X52 and lower gradeline pipe. Prepare a minimum of 12 Charpy V-notch specimens (preferably 16 specimens) in theL-T (transverse) direction and perform CVN testing according to ASTM E23. Test 1 specimen at -20°F Test 1 specimen at 0°F If CVN values are less than 4 ft-lbs. (full scale), then consider this a part of the lower shelf temperatures Test 1 specimen at 70°F Test 1 specimen at 100°F If CVN values are greater than 20 ft-lbs. and are close together, then consider this part of the upper shelf temperatures. If the difference in CVN values is more than 5 ft-lbs., then: Test 1 specimen at 70°F Test 1 specimen at 50°F If CVN values are close together, then the DBTT is likely to be around 50°F, then: Test 1 specimen at 50°F Test 1 specimen at 40°F Test 1 specimen at 20°F If the difference in CVN values at 50°F and 70°F is greater than 5ft-lbs., then Test 1 specimen at 50°F Test 1 specimen at 60°F Test the remaining specimens at other temperatures, as appropriate, to ensure that data has been collected at temperatures that the testing has shown to be of importance. Draw the CVN Curve to a best-fit curve plotting Impact Energy (ft-lbs.) versus Temperature (°F). Determine the DBTT from the CVN Curve (in °F). Determine the Temperature (in °F) corresponding to 15 ft-lbs. absorbed impact energy. Determine the Fracture Appearance Transition Temperature (in °F) corresponding to 50% and/or 80% shear. Determine the Upper-Shelf Energy (in ft-lbs.). Determine the Lower-Shelf Energy (in ft-lbs)Metallurgical Laboratory Failure Examination Protocol 01/06/2004
