Enbridge's Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project Approved
The National Energy Board has approved Enbridge’s Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project in southern Ontario. Having considered the evidence, the NEB believes the project is in the public interest and has imposed a total of 46 conditions covering a wide range of matters, including emergency management and environmental protection.
Providing the conditions and company commitments are met, the NEB believes the project is unlikely to have significant adverse environmental effects. In their decision, the three-member Hearing Panel noted that Enbridge had revised the project route during the course of the hearing process based on consultation from stakeholders. They also highlighted the proponent’s commitment to work with Indigenous groups to ensure their involvement in the monitoring of construction, post-construction and decommissioning activities.
This decision follows a public hearing that included several written steps, a community meeting where Six Nations of the Grand River provided Oral Traditional Evidence and oral cross examination and final argument.
As set out in Federal legislation, construction of pipelines of less than 25 miles does not require Cabinet approval. The NEB will monitor compliance with the conditions associated to this decision through the project’s lifecycle.
