Abstract

Several recent proposals to expand pipeline capacity on the West Coast of Canada have raised concerns about the increased risk of oil spills. This paper discusses how Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (Trans Mountain) is focusing on continued safe marine transportation of oil from its terminal within Port Metro Vancouver, including its proposal to significantly enhance the area's oil spill response regime. It references information that is part of the proponent's application to the National Energy Board (NEB) of Canada and information under review by Transport Canada. The NEB is expected to provide its report and recommendation in early 2016 following a comprehensive review process.
