Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd. Brunswick Pipeline Project
Mispec Point; St. Stephen (NB)
May 26, 2006 (Update) --
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency today announced a pilot project to substitute the National Energy Board (NEB) process for an environmental assessment by a review panel under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act), for the proposed Brunswick Pipeline.
The substitution was approved by the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. Minister Ambrose's decision is based on recommendations submitted by the NEB in consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada and the Canadian Transportation Agency.
The project's proponent, Emera Brunswick Pipeline Company Ltd., plans to build a 762 mm (30 inches) diameter natural gas pipeline that will extend approximately 145 km from the Canaport liquefied natural gas facility at Mispec Point in Saint John, New Brunswick to the international border near St. Stephen, New Brunswick where it will interconnect to facilities to be constructed. The pipeline will be 762 mm (30 inches) in diameter and will include several facilities such as valve sites.
