The Canada Energy Regulator on Thursday ordered the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project to stop work in a wetland area near Abbotsford, British Columbia, after inspectors found several environmental and safety-related non-compliances.
Some of the non-compliances include insufficient fencing to protect amphibians and unapproved vegetation clearing, the regulator said in a notice on its website. The 590,000 barrel-per-day expansion will nearly triple capacity on the existing pipeline running from Alberta to Canada’s Pacific Coast. It is due to start operating early next year and will open up markets in Asia and on the U.S. West Coast for Canadian crude.
