Regulating pipeline abandonment . : NE23-161/2016E-PDF

The National Energy Board (NEB) regulates interprovincial and international pipelines in the Canadian public interest. Our goals include keeping facilities safe and secure, protecting the environment, and respecting Canadians’ rights and interests. In 2009, the NEB conducted consultation on landowner concerns and generated a report, in part identifying the need for clarification on how pipeline abandonment is monitored. This document has been prepared in response to this need. The NEB has a comprehensive compliance program for regulating facilities throughout a pipeline’s lifecycle. We hold companies accountable to the public during construction, post-construction, operation and abandonment. The NEB compliance role does not end when the pipeline abandonment project is completed and all NEB-imposed conditions are satisfied. Any part of the pipeline left exposed or in the ground will require perpetual care by the company or its successor, as well as regulatory oversight by the NEB.
