• AltaGas has been safely operating
the Ferndale Terminal since 2014
• The only existing and operating
LPG export terminal on the west
coast of North America
• The Terminal has operated safely
for more than 40 years handling
propane and butane that arrives by
truck, rail and pipeline
• The Terminal can handle 24
railcars per day

Community engagement
7
AltaGas is committed to building long-term,
mutually beneficial working relationships with
communities and First Nations
We are committed to ensuring a safe
workplace, protecting employees, the public
and the environment
Our mandate is to work collaboratively with
local communities and First Nations to ensure
sustainable development plans are put in
place
Our Purpose: Information gathering and
sharing
- Learn who the interested and impacted
stakeholders are
- Solicit feedback
- Establish a presence in the community so
stakeholders know who to contact
- Inform the community on how to
participate in the regulatory process

Propane in every day life
1- World LPG Association Annual Report 2015
2- World LPG Association
8
Liquefied petroleum gas or LPG is a term
used to describe two fuels: propane and
butane
Propane is a clean-burning, portable, multi-
purpose fuel that is non-toxic, economical,
and safe
Several billion people around the world use
propane for cooking and heating, generating
power, cleaning and drying clothes, and
powering equipment like forklifts
Almost half of global propane consumption is
for domestic use, the remainder is consumed
by the chemical industry, refineries, transport,
industry and agriculture1
LPG emits about 20% less CO2 than heating
oil and 50% less than coal2
AltaGas
Why export propane
1- Canadian Propane Association - 11 billion litres
2- LPG and the Global Energy Transition, A study on behalf of the World LPG Association
3- Japan LP Gas Association 9
Canada has an abundant supply of propane
to offer global markets that rely on energy
imports to meet energy demands
- 5.5 million tonnes produced annually in
Canada1
- Traditionally most of Canada’s propane
exports have gone to the U.S., however
the U.S. has become self-sufficient
In 2013, global consumption of LPG
amounted to 267 million tonnes2
Approximately 50% of all households in
Japan use LPG 3
Environmental concerns such as emissions
of greenhouse gases are driving increased
demand

by country/region, 2003-20131

Proposed Propane Export Terminal
10
AltaGas is proposing to build a new Propane Export Terminal on a site sub-leased from Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI)
The Terminal will receive liquid propane from B.C. and Alberta via CN’s existing rail line
Propane will be transferred to intermediate pressurized storage bullets
Propane will be cooled to -42°C, stored and shipped at atmospheric pressure
Cooled propane will be transferred to Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC) using the existing RTI coal jetty
Propane will be transported to Asia and other markets

Why locate at Ridley Island
11
The RTI site is strategically
located:
Short shipping distances to
target markets in Asia
History of industrial
development/use and liquid
bulk loading terminals are
supported in PRPA’s Land
Use Plan
Existing CN rail lines and
coal export jetty and berthing
facilities
All new construction will take
place on previously cleared
land and/or will build upon
existing infrastructure

AltaGas is advancing towards a final investment decision in late 2016, and is targeting a
commercial operation date to begin propane exports in 2018.
The Project would be the first propane export terminal to be constructed and operated
off the west coast of Canada.

Project benefits
15
Provide Western Canadian producers with new market access to Asia, a premium market for propane
Contribute to national trade and enrich Canadian-international partnerships
Diversify product at Ridley Terminal
Support long-term economic stability in the region and provide local employment opportunities
Provide skills training and employment opportunities to local First Nations
Lead to approximately:
− 200 – 250 construction jobs
− 40 – 50 permanent job opportunities once the facility is operational

Environmental review and permitting
16
Project will undergo an environmental
review
Engagement planned with First Nations,
the public and other stakeholders
The following is a preliminary list of
major pre-construction authorizations
that may apply to the Project:
- Section 67 Determination (under
the Canadian Environmental
Assessment Act, 2012)
- Navigation Protection Act
approval
- Fisheries Act authorization, (if
necessary)
- Explosives Act Permit, (if
necessary)
Protection of the environment
is a core value at AltaGas
