A three-member joint review panel has been established to undertake the environmental and regulatory review process for the proposed 1,170 km Northern Gateway Pipeline Project.
The panel chair, Sheila Leggett, and panel members Hans Matthews and Kenneth Bateman were appointed by Canada’s Environment Minister Jim Prentice and the National Energy Board (NEB).
A joint review panel agreement for the review, which provides the terms of reference for the panel, was signed in December 2009 by Mr Prentice and NEB Chief Executive Officer Gaeton Caron.
The next step in the review process will be the announcement of participant funding recipients and the filing of the project application by proponent Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines with the NEB.
The proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline would involve the construction and operation of two pipelines between an inland terminal at Bruderheim, Alberta, Canada, and a marine terminal near Kitimat, British Columbia. One pipeline will carry crude oil west to Kitimat while the other line will carry condensate east to Bruderheim.
