Stream 4 - Pipeline Abandonment - Physical Issues
There were a number of physica
l issues of abandonment raised during consultations on Stream 4 which, in the Board's view, require further research and a multi-stakeholder approach to resolve. The Board also noted key non-physical issues with respect to abandonment and landowner concerns for potential liability. The NEB is of the view that the outcomes from the actions identified in Streams 3 and 4 will mitigate these concerns. Stream 4 Progress Reports track actions in the LMCI Final Report released on 26 May 2009.
