Chair returns from journey through the Beaufort-Delta region
Chair and CEO, Gaétan Caron, and a small staff team completed the last leg of their journey into the Beaufort-Delta by visiting Shingle Point on the shores of the Beaufort Sea, northwest of the Mackenzie Delta.

This traditional gathering site is where the Inuvialuit hold their annual summer games. Besides participating in some of the competitions, notably the "dizzy stick" game, Gaétan Caron and staff met with people who had traveled long distances in small boats, some from as far away as Alaska, to be together celebrating their way of life. At the base of a whale lookout structure, proudly flying a Canadian flag, a community feast was prepared over open fires.

A detailed report outlining what they learned during this journey will be posted under the What's New section on the Board's website in September.

Gaétan Caron and National Energy Board Northern Engagement Specialist, Susan Gudgeon, visit with Annie B. Gordon, an Elder from Aklavik, in her Shingle Point camp, a place she has been coming to since being a small child. She spoke of Elders passing on their knowledge and how the Inuvialuit have always lived in harmony with the land, water and animals. Her stories reminded them of what they have often heard in the North, that "if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you".

Chair visits Herschel Island and Ivvavik National Park of Canada
On the second leg of their journey visiting sites of value to the Inuvialuit people, Chair and CEO Gaétan Caron and a small team of NEB staff traveled to Herschel Island and Ivvavik National Park of Canada to see firsthand the kind of places the NEB is required to protect as it regulates oil and gas development in the Beaufort-Delta.

Richard Gordon, Senior Park Ranger of Herschel Island, takes Gaétan Caron on a tour of Pauline Cove, Herschel Island, a place of historical and cultural significance to the Inuvialuit people. Inuvialuit have been using this area for generations.

In the background, a seismic ship along a backdrop of grave markers of the Inuvialuit people, Northwest Mounted Police and American whalers. This view was a reminder of the delicate balance the Inuvialuit people have struck during their long history between their own traditional way of life and outside influences.

Pipeline Incidents: Spills of Hydrocarbon Liquids
In our recently released annual report to Canadians, the National Energy Board provided safety information relating to our regulated pipelines and facilities. This included a detailed list of all incidents considered reportable under the National Energy Board Onshore Pipeline Regulations (OPR). Reported incidents are not limited to liquid spills. They can also include fires, equipment failures, security issues or the operation of a pipeline beyond its design limits.

Pipeline safety and the development of natural resources in a responsible and sustainable way are top of mind for Canadians. The public is asking for more information on how regulated companies are performing, specifically in the areas of safety and environmental protection. The NEB is listening and working to provide clear and accurate information on important issues such as liquid spills.

Chair completes first leg of journey through the Beaufort-Delta Region
Chair and CEO, Gaétan Caron, and a small team of National Energy Board (NEB or the Board) staff have completed the first leg of their journey into the Beaufort-Delta.

They traveled by boat from Inuvik to Baby Island, stopping along the way at traditional Inuvialuit whaling camps to meet families harvesting resources from the land and the Beaufort Sea. They heard stories about the importance of the traditional way of life to the Inuvialuit people. They were reminded of the importance of protecting the people, their communities and the resources of the land as the NEB carries out its responsibilities as the safety and environmental watchdog of energy development in the North.

Clara Day speaks with Mr. Caron at Whitefish Station after sharing a traditional Inuvialuit meal. She spoke fondly of being on the land from the time she was a child. She passes on the language of the Inuvialuit and the traditional skills she learned from her ancestors to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

National Energy Board Management System and Protection Program Audit Protocol
With the issuance of the National Energy Board Onshore Pipeline Regulations on 10 April 2013, the National Energy Board has updated its Audit Protocol. The OPR now explicitly requires all companies to have management systems for:

- the safety and security of the public and the company’s employees;
- the safety and security of the pipeline; and
- the protection of property and the environment.

Companies must apply their management systems to all activities involving the design, construction, operation or abandonment of a pipeline, and to their protection programs for safety, environment, integrity, pipeline crossings, public awareness, emergency management and security. In addition, companies are now required to appoint an accountable officer who has the appropriate authority over the company’s human and financial resources to enable the company to meet its obligations for safety, security and protection of the environment.

The NEB’s updated Audit Protocol reflects these OPR requirements. The Board utilizes a number of methods for assessing compliance with regulatory requirements. One such method is an audit, which would be based on this Audit Protocol.

Flood Update: Pipeline Safety & Environmental Protection
The National Energy Board has been actively monitoring the impacts of flooding in Southern Alberta to ensure the continued safety of its regulated pipelines. There have been no product releases on any NEB-regulated pipelines as a result of flooding.

The NEB requires its regulated companies to proactively identify and mitigate any potential hazards associated with their pipelines. This includes the effects of infrequent but potentially high consequence events such as extreme flooding.

Companies with pipelines in areas affected by flooding continue to monitor their systems and take action where appropriate. There have been reported impacts from the flood involving exposed pipelines caused by erosion or rerouting of waterways. These occurrences are currently being addressed. The NEB requires this work be completed in a manner that complies with the NEB’s enhanced Onshore Pipeline Regulations, designed to protect the safety of people and the environment.

Amendments to the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act (COGOA) - Navigable Waters

As a result of the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act amendments have been made to the National Energy Board Act (NEB Act) and the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act (COGOA). These changes will require the National Energy Board (NEB) to consider project effects on navigation and navigation safety for NEB-regulated pipeline and power line crossings of navigable waters before recommendations or decisions are made under s. 52 and 58 of the NEB Act and s. 5.1 of COGOA.

To ensure an effective transition of these responsibilities between Transport Canada and the NEB, the organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that describes the co-operative relationship between the organizations as well as providing guidance on when a project is regulated by the NEB or Transport Canada.

For more information, please refer to the FAQs on Navigable Waters.

Chair and CEO, Gaétan Caron, returns from Beaufort- Delta
Chair and CEO, Gaétan Caron, joined by a small team of National Energy Board (NEB) staff have returned from a visit to the six Beaufort-Delta communities of Inuvik, Aklavik, Tuktoyaktuk, Paulatuk, Ulukhaktok and Sachs Harbour. In keeping with the NEB's commitment made at the conclusion of Arctic Review, the team spoke about the role of the NEB as the Arctic’s safety and environmental protection watchdog, updated communities on industry plans to apply to the NEB for permits to drill in the Beaufort Sea, and shared information about how to engage and participate in the NEB's process. The group also met with youth in high schools to hear their unique perspective. This was the Chair’s third annual visit to the area since 2010.

Gaétan and Frank Pokiak, Chair of the Inuvialuit Game Council,
listen to questions from members of the community in
Ulukhaktok on 18 April 2013. A watchful hybrid grizzly/polar bear
(known as a grolar bear) in the background reminds everyone
of the importance of the land to the people and communities
during discussions around potential oil and gas activities
in the Beaufort-Delta.

Investigation under the National Energy Board Act In the Matter of: 30 September 2009 release of gas and subsequent fire at the Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. Lisgar Gate Station in Mississauga, Ontario
On 30 September 2009, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. (EGD) reported that a contractor had damaged an NPS 2 blowdown valve connected to an NPS 24 gas line while performing work within the boundaries of the Lisgar Gate Station in Mississauga, Ontario. Subsequently, the gas ignited, damaging a building and destroying several vehicles and construction equipment. No workers or members of the public were injured, although adjacent businesses, including a strip mall and day care, were evacuated as a precautionary measure. Damage to the environment was limited to local soil and vegetation inside the fenced area of the station property.

The NEB will take all available actions to protect Canadians and the environment and requires pipeline companies to anticipate, prevent, manage, and mitigate potentially dangerous conditions associated with their pipelines. As part of this, the NEB expects regulated companies to demonstrate a proactive commitment to continual improvement in safety, security, and environmental protection, and to promote a positive safety culture as part of their management systems.

The NEB has concluded its investigation and has made eight (8) findings as to incident cause and contributing factors, the details of which are included in this report.

Investigation under the National Energy Board Act In the Matter of 2012-01-24 Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Sumas Tank 121 Leak
On 24 January 2012, a release of 90 m³ of crude oil into the secondary containment of Tank 121 at Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC’s (TMPU) Sumas Terminal in Abbotsford, BC occurred. The investigation revealed that the leak occurred after a gasket in a flange pair of the Tank 121 roof drain system failed under excessive pressure caused by water freezing in the roof drain system.

The safety of Canadians and protection of the environment are the National Energy Board’s (NEB or Board) top priorities. The Board requires pipeline companies to anticipate, prevent, manage and mitigate potentially dangerous conditions associated with their pipelines. TMPU has identified corrective actions to address all of the findings of cause and contributing factors identified in this investigation report. The Board is satisfied that these actions are appropriate to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents in the future.
