Return to footnote These filed capital costs include and are based upon (a) a 1,260 psi, 48-inch line from the Alaska-Yukon border to the point of possible interconnection near Whitehorse; (b) a 1,260 psi, 48-inch; or 1,680 psi, 48-inch; or 1,120 psi, 54-inch line from the point of possible interconnection near Whitehorse to Caroline Junction; (c) a 42-inch line from Caroline Junction to the Canada-United States border near Monchy, Saskatchewan; and (d) a 36-inch line from Caroline Junction to the Canada-United States border near Kingsgate, British Columbia.

(3) The gathering function series of accounts referred to in paragraph (2)(a) shall include amounts in respect of the gathering and collection of oil from the oil fields, refineries or other sources and transportation of oil to the point of connection to meters or storage tanks or the intake side of the manifold at the trunk receiving site or station.

(5) All piping, valves and fittings shall be tested after installation and before operations begin at a pressure 50 per cent in excess of the maximum working pressure, but in no case less than 5 psig and that pressure shall be maintained for a period of not less than 30 minutes.

(a) The Governments will establish a technical study group for the purpose of testing and evaluating 54-inch 1,120 pounds per square inch (psi), 48-inch 1,260 psi, and 48-inch 1,680 psi pipe or any other combination of pressure and diameter which would achieve safety, reliability and economic efficiency for operation of the Pipeline.

A pipe used for conveying liquid from one level to a lower level, using the liquid pressure differential to force a column of the liquid up to a higher level before it falls to the outlet.

The project will initially involve rehabilitating the existing installations (water offtakes, storage tanks and delivery pipes) and subsequently installing a new town supply network (additional offtakes, treatment plan and additional storage capacity).
