OSTI ID:321363
In December 1997, Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline Management Ltd. received approval to construct and operate a natural gas pipeline consisting of about 558 kilometers of 762-millimeter pipe to be located within a one-kilometer-wide corridor extending from Goldboro, Nova Scotia to the international border near St. Stephen, New Brunswick. This report covers the second stage of the pipeline approval process where the detailed route is determined. It presents the views of the pipeline company, various landowners and mineral rights holders objecting to the proposed detailed route, and the National Energy Board with regard to two issues: The best possible detailed route for the pipeline, and the most appropriate methods and timing of constructing the pipeline. Specific land/mineral rights owner cases including the nature of the objection, possible alternate routes, and the Board decision in each case are described.
