NEB recommends approving NGTL's Wolverine River Lateral Loop project

Canada’s National Energy Board (NEB) has issued a report recommending approval for NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) to construct and operate the Wolverine River Lateral Loop (Carmon Creek Section) project.

The proposed project, approximately 35 km northeast of Peace River, Alberta, involves the construction and operation of a 61-km pipeline, 508 mm (20 inches) in diameter, to transport sweet natural gas. Approximately 57 km of the pipeline would be built alongside existing linear disturbances.

Other project facilities would include tie-in connections to existing facilities, valve sites, launcher and receiver facilities for inline inspection, and cathodic protection. In addition, temporary infrastructure would be required for the construction of the project.

In assessing NGTL's application, the NEB recommended and included conditions that will enhance the pipeline integrity, safety and environmental protection regulations and standards to which the project is already subject.
