ConclusionsConclusions

Decommissioning the Maple Leaf Decommissioning the Maple Leaf Tank increases pressures and fire Tank increases pressures and fire flowflow

Supply redundancy provides for Supply redundancy provides for minimal outage riskminimal outage risk

Decommissioning still preferred Decommissioning still preferred alternative if demolition costs are alternative if demolition costs are includedincluded
