Could feed Suncor\u2019s East End Montreal refinery by December<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

By Robert Frank
\nwww.thesuburban.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) has approved\u2014with conditions\u2014Enbridge’s bid to reverse the flow of it’s oil pipeline through Laval to feed crude oil from Western Canada and North Dakota to Suncor\u2019s East End Montreal refinery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision clears the way for us to begin the project,\u201d Enbridge spokesman Graham White told The Suburban<\/i> in a telephone interview from the energy giant\u2019s Calgary headquarters, \u201chowever we have to meet the NEB\u2019s 30 conditions beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enbridge already received NEB approval to reverse the flow in the westernmost segment of the pipeline between Sarnia and North Westover, July 27, 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still targeting the fourth quarter of 2014 to complete the project,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a telephone conference call with news media, NEB spokeswoman Carole L\u00e9ger-Kubeczek said that NEB has issued two orders in respect of its decision.<\/p>\n

“One is for the integrity of the pipeline,” she said. “The other is for financial matters. There are 30 conditions for the physical aspect of the approval.”<\/p>\n

“They deal with all the questions pertaining to the insecurity and security of the pipeline, questions pertaining to the environment and consultations that Enbridge must put in place,” L\u00e9ger-Kubecek explained. “A broad range of questions.”<\/p>\n

“Every time that Enbridge fulfils a condition, it must submit a document to say that it has complied,” she said. “The [National Energy Board] wants to do its own inspection of all work that has been done to ensure that all conditions have really been respected.”<\/p>\n

“It’s like a final check,” she said. “We want to ensure that it’s done correctly. One of the pillars at NEB is the protection of the environment and the people who live in proximity of the pipeline.”<\/p>\n

NEB has ordered Enbridge to post information about the reversal project on its web site. It also instructed Enbridge to improve its dissemination of information in French.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re willing to adhere to whatever the NEB and French-speaking Quebecers expect of us,\u201d White assured.<\/p>\n

The NEB decision reminded Enbridge \u201cto place valves on both sides of all major water crossings.\u201d<\/p>\n

In November, Laval published a seven-page memorandum that supported the pipeline project but asked Enbridge to install more valves to improve safety. However, Enbridge officials quickly pointed out that every new valve welded into the line creates a new potential rupture site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a study on intelligent valve placement and determined that the existing 11 valves in Quebec, all of which are automatic and placed strategically at all major waterways (including in Montreal) are adequate for the continued safe operation of the line,\u201d White explained.<\/p>\n

He added that the line\u2019s only functioning pumping station in Quebec, in Terrebonne, will be deactivated, though the facility will remain there.
