Regulatory information

The Kimball-Colinville and Bickford Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) Increase Project is regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), an independent government agency that regulates the electricity and natural gas sectors. After a public review and hearing, the OEB will determine whether to approve the project. In this section, you can review all regulatory files about the project once they are available.

Environmental Screening

In consideration of the impact identification and assessment process outlined in the OEB's Environmental Guidelines, Enbridge Gas retained the services of Stantec Consulting Ltd., an independent environmental consultant, to complete an environmental screening for the proposed project.

The purpose of the environmental screening is to identify potential environmental and socio-economic impacts associated with the installation of temporary access roads, gathering line replacements, station component replacements, well crossover replacements and wellhead upgrades for the project, in the Bickford and Kimball-Colinville Storage Pools.

It also recommends mitigation measures to limit impacts on the social, economic and natural environments. It is important to minimize potential negative impacts of the proposed natural gas facilities on the environment. The data, analysis and results of the environmental screening are detailed in the Environmental Screening Report.
