The Canadian National Energy Board (NEB) has unveiled a report recommending approval for NOVA Gas Transmission (NGTL) to build and operate the proposed Wolverine River Lateral Loop (Carmon Creek Section) pipeline project.

Located about 35km northeast of Peace River, Alberta, the project includes the construction and operation of a 61km pipeline to transport sweet natural gas.

About 57km of the pipeline would be constructed alongside existing linear disturbances.

The project will include tie-in connections to existing facilities, valve sites, launcher and receiver facilities for inline inspection, and cathodic protection.

It will extend from a tie-in point in SW 08-91-16 W5M at the site of the proposed Otter Lake Compressor Station, to the site of the planned Carmon Creek East Sales meter station.

Temporary infrastructure would be needed for the construction of the project, the NEB said.

The board has recommended and included conditions that will improve the pipeline integrity, safety and environmental protection regulations and standards to which the project is already subject.

NGTL is required to meet its commitments and satisfy the board’s requirements if a certificate is issued.

The board is of the view that the project is in the public interest and is consistent with the requirements of Part III of the NEB Act.
