Ms Lanteigne,
 
Thank you for your questions regarding Line 9.  Frank is no longer working on this project, so he forwarded your email to me for response.  Please see the responses to your question below.
 
1.        Is there currently a shut off valve for where Line 9 crosses the Nith and Grand Rivers?
 
Response:  Enbridge has an isolation valve on the east side of the Grand River and an isolation valve 4.8 km (3 miles) west of the Nith River.
 
2.       Where is Enbridge's closest emergency response team should there be a spill in Waterloo Region?  Would that be Flamborough?
 
Response: Enbridge has an emergency response team in Flamborough. That is the closest response team.
 
Thank you also for the information you provided us.  The effort you put in and the work you do are much appreciated.  
 
Yours sincerely,

Hello Mr. Dumford
 
I'm working on comments regarding the Ontario Source Water Protection Act and I had two questions regarding Enbridge Line 9 reversal phase 1 which the NEB approved. 
 
1. Is there is currently a shut off valve for where Line 9 crosses the Nith and Grand Rivers?

2. Where is Enbridge's closest emergency response team should there be a spill in Waterloo Region?  Would that be Flamborough? 
 
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. It might help us to create a tighter spills response plan at the local level. 
 
Also I created a power point to help prevent oil pipeline leaks. This is just general information that I put together addressing Artic pipeline issues, earthquake risks and the kind of welds we need to prevent leaks. Basically it's preventative concepts based on information I researched online. I thought it might come in handy for the folks at Enbridge to review. I posted it up on a site called Slideshare. You can view that here:

Please feel free to relay the message to the proper department.
 
Thank you.
