These pipelines operate continuously and safely delivering energy to satisfy the needs of Canadians and export markets.
Pipelines are often invisible.
After their initial construction, all that may be left to indicate their presence are signs at fence lines and road crossings or clearings along the pipeline right of way. The NEB believes that the safety and integrity of Canada's pipelines depends on public awareness and industry involvement. Activities which occur near pipelines and which have the potential to damage pipelines are regulated by the Board in the public interest. Currently, these activities are governed by the Pipeline Crossing Regulations . The Damage Prevention Regulations will regulate activities on or adjacent to pipeline rights of way under the Board's jurisdiction in the interest of the safety of the public and of the company's employees and the protection of property and the environment.
