INITIATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY Union Gas Limited - Burlington Oakville Pipeline Project To ensure the continued reliable, safe delivery of natural gas and serve an increased demand in the fast growing communities of Milton, Oakville and Burlington, Union Gas is proposing to construct a new 12-14 kilometre, up to 24 inch (610-millimeter) diameter, natural gas pipeline. The proposed pipeline would begin at Union Gas' existing Dawn-Parkway Pipeline System (south of Derry Road) and travel south to its Burlington Pipeline System (north of Upper Middle Road West). The pipeline will be located within the Study Area as identified on the map below. Spring 2013 Part-time learning builds full-time success As part of the planning process, Union Gas has hired Stantec Consulting Ltd. to undertake an environmental study of the construction and operation of the natural gas pipeline. The environmental study will fulfill the requirements of the Ontario Energy Board's (OEB) "Environmental Guidelines for the Location, Construction and Operation of Hydrocarbon Pipelines and Facilities in Ontario (2011)". The environmental study process will include consultation and engagement with landowners, First Nations, the Métis Nation of Ontario, government agencies and other local parties. Consultation and engagement will be instrumental in various aspects of the environmental study including the evaluation of various pipeline route alternatives; the selection of the preferred pipeline route; and the various protection and mitigation measures used to minimize the effects of constructing and operating the proposed pipeline. Choose from over 800 courses ­ either online or conveniently located in Mississauga, Oakville and Brampton. It is anticipated that the Environmental Report for the study will be completed in the summer of 2013 at which time Union Gas will file an application for the proposed pipeline to the OEB. The OEB's review and approval is required before the proposed natural gas pipeline project can proceed. If approved, construction of the pipeline could begin in the spring of 2015.
