KITIMAT - A revised benefits agreement released Feb. 25 will mean up to $200 million for First Nations groups whose traditional territories are along the proposed Pacific Trails Pipeline (PTP) route. An announcement between PTP, the province, and the First Nations Group Limited Partnership (a partnership of affected First Nations regarding this project) was made. “This agreement secures significant financial and economic benefits for First Nations who play a vital role in one of British Columbia’s leading LNG projects,” Chief Raymond Morris, a member of the FNLP executive committee, said.

In addition to the $200 million in financial benefits, the agreement will provide business and training opportunities for the First Nations as well. Fifteen First Nations are included – the Haisla, Kitselas, Lax Kw’alaams Band, the Wet’suwet’en, Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, McLeod Lake Indian Band, Metlakatla First Nation, Nadleh Whut’en First Nation, Nak’azdli Band, Nee Tahi Buhn Indian Band, Saik’uz First Nation, Skin Tyee, Stellat’en, Ts’il Kaz Koh and West Moberly. The PTP proposal is for a 463 km pipeline which will carry natural gas from Summit Lake (55 km north of Prince George) to the proposed Kitimat LNG facility in Kitimat. “The support of First Nations

for our projects continues to be tremendous and we look forward to building on these integral relationships,” said Apache senior vice president Janine McArdle. Chief negotiator for the First Nations partnerhip Robert Metcs, said the limited partnership (FNLP), which formed in 2008, will disperse the money based on the distance of the pipeline in traditional territories. “[FNLP] was a commercial entity...formed with more or less a single mandate to negotiate a potential commercial agreement and the First Nations take that agreement and weigh that against the impact that they determine individually, to determine whether they want to accept it,” he explained of the process. “Clearly the 15 decided that

they did.” He said the training and business opportunities are also something that will get worked out largely on an individual basis. The PTP proposal would be the natural gas delivery method for bringing supply to the propose Kitimat LNG facility, a joint venture of Chevron Canada and Apache Canada. The two-train system is planned to have a capacity of 10 million metric tonnes of LNG per year. Premier Christy Clark also committed $32 million to the FNLP, in order for them to buy in to a non-equity investment for the pipeline. That commitment came from an amendment to an existing economic partnership agreement for the PTP pipeline.

in global LNG exports, Spomer said. She added that colder weather in the Prince Rupert area gives B.C. an advantage over places like the Gulf of Mexico, because gas needs to be compressed and chilled to low temperature for shipment. Luo Weizhong, vice president of China National Overseas Oil Company, said China needs LNG for environmental reasons as well as to meet rising energy demand. Transport trucks in China are being converted from diesel to LNG, and the country is trying to replace coal power with

cleaner alternatives to deal with huge air pollution problems. Anders Ekvall, an executive with Shell Canada, told the conference that natural gas represents the best chance to cut global greenhouse gas emissions in the short term. Shell is planning investments in B.C. as one of the few producers likely to survive in the global LNG competition, he said As well, Premier Christy Clark announced a natural gas exploration royalty credit program worth up to $120 million this year, but it’s not a subsidy to

industry. B.C.’s royalty credit program is going into its 12th year. It provides breaks on natural gas royalty payments to companies that commit to building new roads and pipelines for gas production in remote areas. Clark said the program recovers its initial cost at a rate of $2.50 for every dollar given out, because it stimulates gas production that otherwise wouldn’t take place. The program was credited with luring drilling rigs away from Alberta to B.C.’s remote northeast shale gas deposits in previous years.

VANCOUVER - Executives for global natural gas companies say B.C. is well positioned to compete for Asia’s rising demand for new and cleaner energy supplies, although liquefied natural gas export projects are still at least five years from loading the first ships. Industry and government representatives gathered in Vancouver’s new convention centre Monday for a two-day conference on LNG development, and heard about efforts to keep ahead of numerous competing countries. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announced Canada’s largest LNG export permit so far, to a joint venture of Shell Canada, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi and PetroChina International. The licence goes to LNG Canada Ltd., a consortium with an agreement to build export facilities on Haisla Nation territory near Kitimat. The B.C. government now expects at least five such export facilities to be built in the coming years. Oliver said attendance by global LNG producers and potential buyers is “a sign that B.C. is emerging as a major player in the global natural gas market,” with reserves equivalent to meeting Japan’s expected demand for the next 275 years. The conference heard Monday from industry leaders about the threats as well as opportunities. Betsy Spomer, vicepresident of global business development for BG Group (formerly British Gas), said bringing pipelines across two mountain ranges from B.C.’s shale gas deposits in the northeast to the coast is a significant challenge. New gas supplies from East Africa and the United States are also on the horizon, but BG Group still expects that B.C. is positioned as “the new Australia”

Vandals cause oil leak along waterfront

www.bclocalnews.com /bc_north A3

By Martina Perry The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - An act of vandalism on decommissioned electrical transformer stationed on Prince Rupert Port Authority property triggered a joint effort to minimize damage from an oil leak in the Prince Rupert harbour. The port was alerted of a leak on Friday on land the organization acquired last year. Upon investigation it was discovered decommissioned electrical transformers were vandalized, causing a quantity of transformer oil to enter the environment in the immediate vicinity of the equipment. “It appeared to be an attempt to remove metal from the transformer, likely for sale… Removing metal from an object that’s designed to enclose insulating fluid will cause that fluid to leak,” Michael Gurney, manager of corporate communication for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, said. “We’re concerned about the presence of oil in the environment. The Prince Rupert terrain presents a difficulty because of it’s porous nature. The muskeg absorbs oil… It would essentially become contaminated soil that would need to be removed.” Gurney said an estimation of the quantity of leaked material was not known as of Monday. “It’s still a very early phase of the clean-up, so

The “vac” (vacuum) trucks skim surface water out of the affected area for safe disposal as part of the clean up effort started over the weekend. it’s difficult to estimate how much [leaked] at this point and how long the operation will take to complete. That being said, remarkable progress was made within the first 24 hours after discovering the incident,” he said. Hazardous materials abatement firm Quantum Murray joined with the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation to flush residual oil from the affected area over the weekend, using containment booms and absorbent pads to remove fluid in the water, with standing water onshore being skimmed

and hosed into tanker trucks for disposal. Floating booms were also put in place to contain any waterborne pollutants that would reach the harbour. Representatives from engineering firm SNC-Lavalin Environment took samples and have planned for continuing environmental monitoring. Gurney said the joint effort could be describe

as “efficient, rapid and thorough” as the source of oil encapsulated early Saturday morning, within 48 hours of discovering the leak. The vandalized transformer is located within private port property, surrounded by fencing. “We will continue to maintain our extensive security and commissionaire report of our security measures, as well

as supporting the remediation effort with security which entails on-site commissioners on site every day,” Gurney said. RCMP continue to investigate the incident as a criminal act. Details of the investigation were not available as of deadline. The Prince Rupert Port Authority maintains a vigilant stance when it comes to the possibility of pollution.

Pipeline route planning through the Nass area continues By Josh Massey

The Northern connector

TERRACE - Spectra Energy wants to submit its plans for a pipeline to feed a planned $6 to 8 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Prince Rupert for an environmental review by early 2014, officials said here during an open house Feb. 21. And based on approvals taking approximately one year, construction would begin by 2016, they added. “The assessment is currently in the data collection stage,” said consultant David Harper of TERA, the Calgarybased environmental agency contracted to do an external environmental assessment for Spectra, of the pipeline which would start in northeastern B.C. and run north of Terrace toward the Pacific Ocean before swinging south to Prince Rupert. Spectra’s open house held at the Northwest Community College is one of a continuing series of public sessions aimed at building public support for the pipeline project. “It provides us with the opportunity to connect with communities. Naturally people are concerned about their quality of life,” said Spectra project manager Mel Johnson. If approved, the pipeline would extend from the natural-gas rich Cypress area of northeastern B.C. to a LNG plant on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert that would be operated by the BG Group, one of several multi-national companies hoping to export LNG to lucrative Asian markets. The BG Group has to submit its plans for a separate environmental review. The final stretch of the pipeline route once it reaches the Cranberry Junction area from northeastern B.C., a distance of 641 kilometres, is still undetermined. There are three route options under consideration past the Cranberry area, two of which would involve an undersea route to the LNG facility. One would enter the water near the Nasoga Gulf area and other near the mining ghost town of Kitsault before turning south. A third, alternative route, an all land one, would follow the Nass partway and then cut

diagonally to the southwest through coastal mountains between Terrace and Rupert. “If something undersea says we can’t do it then we have a land route option,” said Spectra’s manager of aboriginal relations Evan Saugstad. The Kitsault and the Nasoga routes would entail 195 kilometres and 100 of underwater piping respectively. The total lengths would be about 886 and 845 kilometres, and the overland route would be between 690 to 770 kilometres total, said construction manager Errol Batchelor. The right-of-way, which is the width of the path for the pipeline, would be between 30 and 45 metres. The goal is to pump 4.2 billion cubic feet (bcf) per day of natural gas under pressure through a pipe 42 to 48 inches in diameter, said Brian Tanakra, director of business development and special projects. Pressure would vary depending on the final width of the pipe, and would be achieved through four to six compressor stations positioned along the route, though at first only one would be needed. A 3D Google Map application shown at the open house provided a bird’s eye view of the possible pipeline routes, illustrating the complex topography of the paths under consideration. The challenge is to avoid geohazards such as areas where lateral erosion occurs in the Nass Valley, and shifting stream beds due to alluvial fans, as well as locations where they must either stabilize or tunnel through rock. British Gas Group (BG) official Herb Pond said the company wants to start producing LNG with two self contained sections or trains on Ridley Island next to the old Skeena Cellulose pulp mill site. Once production picks up the plan is to add a third train, he said. A four-year construction phase would see 3,500 jobs created, Pond said, with 400-600 full-time jobs once the project is completed. “The ships are basically floating fridges,” Pond explained. Once cooled in the trains, the gas is 600 times more condensed than it was in the pipeline. Transport vessels the same size or larger than customary

The pipeline would pass through 20-25 First Nation traditional territories including Treaty 8 land in the northeast and Nisga’a lands in the Nass Valley. “If we go through a municipal boundary they can tax us,” said Saugstad of the ability of local governments to gain revenue from the pipeline. “Half stays and half goes to Victoria. First Nations don’t have that unless you go on their reserve land. They have to own the land. If it’s on their traditional land they have no right to taxation.” The actual construction of the pipeline, pending environmental approval, ultimately depends upon Spectra’s board of directors. But it also depends upon the BG Group obtaining approval for its plant and making its own decision to proceed. “They’re not slam dunk projects but you have to treat them like they will go ahead,” Saugstad said. The Spectra/BG project is one of two, so far, announced for Prince Rupert. The other involves Progress Energy of Calgary which was recently bought by Petronas, a company owned by the Malaysian government.

North Coast leaders get ready for growth By Shaun Thomas

PRINCE RUPERT - The District of Port Edward is getting ready for a bright future in the community according to councillor Murray Kristoff. “It is very exciting times for Port Edward. We have a lot of interest from LNG, which is the big one, but there are small proponents looking at us that are by no means small – just smaller than the LNG project,” he said during the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Feb. 20 “Land in the district will be developed in a very quick way compared to how it has been in the past.

Skeena NDP MLA Robin Austin the latest to question fish ban By Anna Killen The Northern connector

TERRACE - Skeena MLA NDP Robin Austin is wading into the ongoing debate over the proposal to move to non-retention of trout and char in the Skeena region’s rivers and streams. Austin said he’s heard from a number of his constituents who are concerned about the proposal and will be meeting with government stakeholders to learn more. “They can’t understand why these regulations have suddenly come in,” he said, of the constituents who have contacted him. “They can’t understand why they’ve been brought in with no consultation, kind of in the middle of the night on a website.” Critics of the pro-

posal have questioned the public commenting process, which saw a notice posted on the Department of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations website during the Christmas holidays. The ministry ended up accepting comments beyond the initially scheduled commenting period. A final decision on the proposal is set to be made in Victoria near the end of March. “I’m not a scientist,” said Austin, noting he doesn’t know whether the proposal should be accepted or denied. “But certainly the way in which it’s been brought in is very troubling, particularly when you consider the department doesn’t even have the resources to actually do the science and collect the data.”

Meets the Queen By Staff Writer

The Northern connector

VICTORIA - The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, had an audience with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Feb. 26 at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty met with Her Honour and her spouse, His Honour Bruno Mailloux, for approximately 30 minutes. It is customary for representatives of the Crown to meet with Her Majesty during their first year in office. “I am honoured to represent Her Majesty in British Columbia so I was pleased I had the opportunity to meet our Sovereign and thank her in person for her dedication to public service,” said the Lieutenant Governor following the visit. “I was proud to share with Her Majesty some of the wonderful work British Columbians are doing across the province.”

This will be his line of questioning when he meets with government stakeholders in upcoming weeks to discuss the issue, he said. “Do we even have enough environmental officers out there to even get the science around this whole issue,” he said, noting cuts to B.C.’s Ministry of Environment. “Because [Environment Minister Terry Lake] has seen his department cut drastically over the last 10 years.

“There aren’t even enough people out there doing the science, collecting the data, to know whether or not different species of fish are in a healthy state or whether there’s a population decrease,” he said. Those in favour of the proposal also cite the decline in ministry resources, specifically cuts to provincial fisheries sections, saying that this makes a precautionary stance such as the one proposed even more necessary.

Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival this Saturday By Naomi Kowal

1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT - On Saturday, March 2, the 22nd annual Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival will be held at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For those who are familiar with the festival, they will be surprised to see a few changes this year. After talking to Bev Kilberry, co-coordinator of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival, a few surprises were revealed for the upcoming event. Instead of holding all of the activities in both the gymnasium and the auditorium, this year all activities will be setup in the gymnasium. Meanwhile, in the auditorium, children of all ages will be able to enjoy what Kilberry referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the main eventâ&#x20AC;? which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laser Fishâ&#x20AC;?. A new activity where, in groups of 14 and after watching a quick safety and orientation video in the Cinema Room, children get to enjoy an interactive laser tag with obstacle courses and special lighting. Kilberry hopes this activity will be a big draw this year. However, there are other new things being brought to the festival this year as well. Rob Gruber from Good Time Games will be setting up a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hex Bugâ&#x20AC;? display, and there will be a Graffitti wall with fluorescent highlighters and black lighting. Many of the traditional activities will also be there to en-

As well as other educational activities put on by groups like Overwaitea, which will be bringing a food wheel, and the BC Cancer Organization will be there to talk about nutritional foods. Kilberry, who has been involved with organizing the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival for the past three years, wanted to make sure children were not limited to only one thing. It was important to let the kids have a variety of activities to do. There will of course be snacks and things like popcorn and sno-

cones, to give the festival a â&#x20AC;&#x153;carnival type atmosphereâ&#x20AC;?. But Kilberry also stated that they want to â&#x20AC;&#x153;balance that sugar fixâ&#x20AC;?, so they are going to provide cheese and crackers and juice boxes as well. The admission for Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fest will be $2 for children and they are hoping that adults will submit a donation. In previous years it was estimated they accommodated approximately 1,500 to 2,000 (adults and children) throughout the day and organizers have high expectations for an even better outcome this year.

Lots of doctors By Staff Writer

The Northern connector

VICTORIA - British Columbia recruited a record 268 physicians in 2012 from across Canada and internationally as part of efforts to improve access to quality health care for B.C. families. They represent a 24 per cent increase over 2011, when 218 physicians were successfully placed by Health Match BC. The previous record was in 2010, when 256 physicians were placed. “Recruiting additional physicians is one of the ways we are working to ensure patients have access to health-care services in their community, both family doctors and specialists,” said Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “I would like to congratulate Health Match BC and the regional health authorities for working so hard to successfully match these

Our team of engineers and scientists has taken great pains to ensure that the proposed pipeline route is almost entirely made up of pre-existing corridors of activity, such as logging roads, forestry roads, cut lines, or other “previously disturbed” areas. Our engineers, and experts familiar with B.C.’s terrain, have also spent years using the most advanced technology available to identify and mitigate any potential geohazard risks — such as landslides, rock fall, avalanches, seismic issues, and marine clays. We’ve worked hard to minimize the risks, and ensure the safest pipeline route possible, with extra measures such as deeper pipe burial, tunnels, and special pipe design. Last summer, we also announced a $500-million package of enhancements to make an already extremely safe project even safer. Those safety measures included: boosting the overall wall thickness of the pipeline; fitting the pipeline with dual-leak detection

analysis systems; bumping up the frequency of in-line inspection surveys to a minimum of 50 per cent above current standards; adding nearly 100 remotely operated isolation valves, bringing the total to 264; and staffing of all our pump stations 24/7. The planning doesn’t stop, either. Working with environmental groups, First Nations communities, and government agencies, our engineering team is constantly refining the route — with nearly two dozen amendments to date. Safety and respect for the environment have been our primary considerations in charting the Gateway pipeline route over the past 10 years. And that’s not about to change.

SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Prince Rupert mayor Jack Mussallem said there may yet be a referendum to determine the future of a new emergency services building in the city.

Referendum may yet happen see if we can, not indefinitely postpone it, but prolong it to the point where we see some more export terminals and projects come on line to spread the cost out over more properties.” Another uncertainty related to the project is how to go about financing the new building once it proceeds. “Some members of council believe we should have a referendum, and there are members of the public that have stated city council was elected to make these decisions based on the relevant information,” said the mayor.

By Shaun Thomas

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert has the costs, design and land set aside for the new emergency services building, now it comes down to where the money will come from. “To build a new emergency services building would cost all of us between a five and six per cent increase in our taxes. The City is trying to be very mindful of the taxpayers,” said mayor Jack Mussallem. “What we are trying to do it

If a referendum is decided upon, Mussallem said the timing could come down to whether or not Jennifer Rice becomes the North Coast MLA in May and whether or not she steps down from council should she win. “If we were to have a by-election some time this year, we could possibly include a referendum to reduce the costs associated with it,” he said. “Other than that a proposed referendum, if council decides to proceed that way, would take place with the next municipal election in October or November of 2014.”

Celebrated senior athlete passes Rupert By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - One of Terrace’s most beloved senior athletes is on to her next race. Leona Margaret Smith, maiden name Link, passed away at Mills Memorial Hospital last week at the age of 86. Those who knew Smith will remember her dedication to the Legion, generosity to local causes, and unwavering community involvement. And also the many strides she made as a flagship member of the northwest zone 10 seniors games squad where she excelled in track and field events since 1999, winning dozens of medals – mostly the gold kind. She even broke a few world records during her tenure on the team. In 2008’s games in Prince George, she was part the women’s 4x100 relay team that broke the world record previously held by a Brazilian team by 10 seconds. That same year she was awarded a Certificate of Athletic Achievement by Terrace City Council. And then in 2010, she broke a second world record for the 4x200 relay at the World Masters Athletics Indoor Track and Field

Championships in Kamloops. When asked back then if she thought she’d be breaking world records in her eighties, she said she was completely surprised. “There’s no way I would have dreamt that,” she said. Health issues meant she couldn’t participate in last year’s games, but that was the first one she’d missed “for eons”, said zone 10 chair Bill Whitty. “We just couldn’t keep her away in the past,” he said, noting her zeal for competition. Zone 10 honoured her life, as they do all members, at a meeting this weekend. Smith hailed from Oxbow, Saskatchewan and lived in Manitoba and the Lower Mainland before moving to Terrace in 1966 with her husband, James (who went by Smitty), daughter Candy, son Jamie, and German shepherd, Sheba. When the family first moved here, they lived in their camper while building a log house and their own sawmill and dam, we learn in her chapter of the local book “Skeena Stories: Strangers No More.” More about her life can be found there – and of course by talking to the many people here in Terrace who were touched by her special life.

senior boys win AA zones By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Leona Smith was well-known in the senior athletic community for her positive attitude and love for the competition. “It is about the medals,” she said in 2010. “Anyone who says they don’t care about the medals, well I care, I don’t know why they say that.”

Four Kitimat Marlins shine at short track provincials in Surrey By Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Here are the four Kitimat Marlins who attended swimming provincials in Surrey February 8-10.

KITIMAT - The four qualified Kitimat Marlins Swim Club swimmers who attended the AA short course (25 meter pool) Swim Provincials in Surrey the weekend of February 8-10 had some exceptional results. All four swimmers had big personal best times and placed well among the almost 400 swimmers from 49 different British Columbia clubs. Second year swimmer Ben Anker (14) lead the way for the Marlins. Anker achieved three golds in the 14-year-old-boys 100 and 200 meter backstroke and the 200 meter breaststroke. He also got in the top eight in the 100 meter breaststroke, placing sixth, and achieved his first AAA Provincial time in the 14-year-old-boys 200 meter backstroke. This means he will now be allowed to compete at the AAA

provincials championships short course (25 meter pool) in Victoria in three weeks and long course (50 meter pool) in July in Vancouver. Raychel Davies (12) made top finishes in three events in the 12-year-old-girls’ category. Davies placed sixth in the 200 butterfly, sixth in the 800 freestyle and eighth in the 400 freestyle. She also achieved the AA standard for the next age group up, 13-year-old-girls, in the 800 meter freestyle. Madisen Szmata (11), competing in the 11-and-under category, swam to four out of five personal best times with her best results coming in the 50 freestyle and 400 freestyle. She placed 14th overall for these events respectively. Morgan Winterburn (12) swam to personal best times in all five of her races while competing in the 12-year-old-girls division. Winterburn’s best result came in the 400 freestyle, a 19th place finish.

PRINCE RUPERT - After dominating at zones last weekend, the Charles Hays Secondary School Senior boys basketball team will be competing at the B.C. Championships in Kamloops. Although only the Rainmakers and Smithers competed in the “AA” zones due to Terrace having a “AAA” team, and Kitimat not having a team this year, the boys proved they were deserving of the zone banner by winning every game they played. Senior boy’s coach Mel Bishop says the boy’s defensive pressure wore Smithers down at the end. “The team is really fit. The kids have played hard this year,” Bishop said. In the first game of the zones, the Rainmakers annihilated Smithers 75 - 41, with the Chris Mair and Graham Morgan being the high scorers of the game. “Graham Morgan had a very good weekend. He played consistently,” Bishop said. On Saturday afternoon the teams faced off again, with Prince Rupert coming out on top for the second time. The game was a lot closer the second time around, with the final score being 61 - 56. The Rainmaker’s high scorers were Mair again, and Drew Robinson. In the final game of zones the Rainmakers proved themselves once again, beating Smithers 63 48. Mair and Robinson were once again the team’s high scorers of the game. Bishop said he was impressed with the team’s rebounding in this game, with Robinson getting 13 rebounds, and Garrett Kobza having 11. “Kobza really rebounded well over the weekend, and really helped us... He helped us defensively as well,” he said. The Rainmaker’s Chris Mair was named the tournament MVP, with Jagveer Minhas winning the Best Defensive Player title. Garrett Kobza and Drew Robinson were named tournament all-stars. The boys will play their first game at the B.C. Championships on March 6. The ‘AAA’ Senior boys Northwest zones happen this weekend March 1 and 2 in Terrace with the Caledonia Kermodes hosting the Queen Charlotte Saints.

Northern Gateway will be one of the safest energy pipelines because it’s been designed by engineers, safety experts and the people of British Columbia.

y intention is to ma make ke the North her ern n Ga Gate tewa way y Pi Pipe peli line ne the strongestt and saf afes estt off its es ts kind in Can people of British Columbia have told us that we must exceed safety standards if it is to cross this beautiful province. We’ve heard their concerns and have continually incorporated their feedback into our plans. We have added $500 million in extra safety measures–like thicker pipe, more isolation valves, meticulous pipeline construction techniques, and plans for around the clock monitoring by real people, in real time, with sophisticated technology.

We will use thicker pipe... Northern Gateway pipe will have an average thickness of 0.80 inches. That’s 20% over and above current Canadian safety standard requirements for the Northern Gateway Project. The pipe will be even thicker when it crosses major rivers and tributaries. It will be welded with exacting precision and its integrity checked using ultrasonic inspection and hydrostatic testing methods. And to ensure safe operation, the frequency of high resolution, in-line inspection surveys will be increased across the entire pipeline system by a minimum of 50% over and above current practices.

We will respect wildlife habitats and migration routes... To address concerns from the public that the construction of the pipeline will affect the environment, we have pledged to build it in such a way that natural wildlife habitats, migration routes and fish spawning sites will be respected. During the building phase, disturbances will be kept to a minimum by having construction vehicles access most of the pipeline using existing forestry roads. Instead of building all new bridge structures, it will use existing watercourse crossings where possible. When construction is completed on each section, soil will be returned and shrubs and grasses native to the region will be planted. If any large trees are removed to make way for the pipeline, a new tree will be planted in another location as part of Enbridge’s commitment to plant a tree for every tree we remove to build our projects.

We will practice and be prepared for incidents... Our goal is always zero spills. To help achieve that, the pipeline will be monitored from the air and the ground and routinely inspected inside and out to identify and address any integrity issues. But that doesn’t mean we will not prepare for an incident. We will adhere to world-leading practices for oil spill response and recovery systems. Emergency response equipment and training will be provided and constantly updated and upgraded. Training exercises with our own operations personnel and local emergency providers will be conducted on a regular basis. Can we guarantee that there will never be a significant pipeline failure? Our original pledge to build a safe pipeline combined with further enhancements made after hearing the concerns of British Columbians puts us closer than any other pipeline system in the world to providing that guarantee.

Discover more about our rigorous design and safety standards and join the conversation at

It’s more than a pipeline.

It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
