Project Background
On July 20, 2018, Enbridge Pipelines Inc. submitted an application [Filing A93187] for the Line 5 St. Clair River Replacement Project under Section 58 of the NEB Act and section 45.1 of the NEB Onshore Pipeline Regulations (OPR).The proposed project would include decommissioning part of the existing crossing and installing approximately 0.5 km of new pipe. This would replace the existing Line 5 that crosses beneath the St. Clair River in Sarnia, Ontario.
On 14 September 2018, the NEB found the application to be complete. Under subsection 58(4), the Board has 300 days to issue an order or dismiss the Application. By establishing a hearing process, the time limit for the Board to issue an order or dismiss the Application under subsection 58(4) has changed from the non-hearing assessments under Category C (300 days), to 15 months from the date that the Board determined the Application(s) to be complete. The time limit represents the maximum time in which the Board will complete its assessment.
