1. Coordinate System: NAD 1983 UTM Zone 17N 2. Base features produced under license with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry © Queen's Printer for Ontario, 2016.
In 2008, Union Gas initiated plans to expand its existing Guelph Line natural gas pipeline system by constructing a new 12-inch (323.9-millimeters) diameter steel natural gas pipeline. An Environmental Report (ER) was completed which identified a Preferred Route for the pipeline along Wellington Road 35. To meet the customer demand for natural gas at the time, the pipeline was installed up to an end point on Wellington Road 34. Union Gas is now proposing to complete the remaining section of pipeline between Wellington Road 34 and Forestell Road. Union Gas has retained Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) to review the previously completed Environmental Report and address potential changes that may have occurred, and to meet the intent of the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) Environmental Guidelines for the Location, Construction and Operation of Hydrocarbon Pipelines and Facilities in Ontario, 6th Edition (2011). The Environmental Report will accompany Union Gas’ application to the OEB, whose review and approval is needed before this project can proceed. If approved by the OEB, construction is targeted for spring 2017. If you have questions or comments regarding the project, please contact: Steve Thurtell, M.Sc., P.Ag., CISEC Stantec Consulting Ltd. Senior Project Manager Phone: (519) 780-8108 [email protected]
