Accordingly, pursuant to subsection 48(1.1) of the National Energy Board Act and section 6 of
the National Energy Board Onshore Pipeline Regulations, the Board has issued the attached
2015 Order. The 2015 Order will facilitate and require ongoing review and analysis of water

The bigger the cities upstream groups, the more storm water flows down the river which creates erosion issues and wider channels. The valve by the Grand River in Waterloo Region may have been a reasonable placement when it was first installled but it ended up placed in the middle of a flood plain so if the pipe ruptured during a flood, someone would have had to go into the water to shut off this manual valve. Enbridge has since moved the valve to a different location. </b><b id="yiv4168448796yui_3_16_0_1_1423367164603_2605">The new conditions are demanding that Enbridge review the placement of the valves to have regard for the full life cycle of the pipeline.
