The benefits of replacing the existing 8 to 10-inch diameter pipeline in a new alignment within the existing road allowance include: • Maintaining gas service to existing customers throughout construction. • Less disturbance to private lands related to pipeline maintenance. • Improved safety for both the public and workers during construction. • Minimizing environmental impacts by: - Reducing the footprint by remaining primarily within the existing road allowances. - Reducing impacts by minimizing disturbance to adjacent natural features and agricultural land. Windsor Pipeline Replacement Project Information Session Access and land requirements Representives from Enbridge Gas will meet with directly affected landowners along the pipeline route to discuss land rights which are necessary for the removal of the existing pipeline and construction of the new pipeline. The compensation offered for both the construction of the new pipeline and removal of the existing pipeline where applicable will include a component for land rights, disturbance and a payment for crop loss. Windsor Pipeline Replacement Project Information Session Pipeline removal and abandonment Pipeline removal and abandonment will be completed in accordance with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z662 Standards. Enbridge Gas intends to remove the existing pipeline from private lands, where practicable. Where removal is not practicable, the existing pipe will be abandoned in place. Determination between pipeline removal and abandonment will consider the following: • Landowner preference. • Road crossings. • Stream crossings. • Depth of cover. • Environmental considerations. • Landscaping, driveways, etc. Windsor Pipeline Replacement Project Information Session Your Enbridge Gas system connection and this project This project will see an existing pipeline decommissioned to ensure a smooth transition of your service to the new and a new pipeline installed.
