The Board uses a goal-oriented, life-cycle approach in its regulatory oversight for energy facilities projects, from the time an infrastructure project is contemplated through to the end of its useful life. Using this approach and considering the Board's public interest mandate, Stream 1 focused on company interactions with landowners.
In May 2009, the Board released the Streams 1, 2 and 4 LMCI Final Report [Filing A21836] to provide guidance for implementation of the Land Matters Consultation Initiative. These included a series of actions for addressing concerns raised during the consultation process.
The actions identified in Stream 1 provide additional direction from the Board on expectations for company programs, increase NEB monitoring of company performance, and ensure consistent Board practices for regulatory programs. These actions will contribute positively towards ensuring that the rights and interests of those affected by energy infrastructure are respected in the design, construction, operation and maintenance, and abandonment of a pipeline system. Stream 1 Progress Reports track actions in the LMCI Final Report.
