Don pipeline companies also have some responsibilities associated with the NEB safety zone, not just landowners?
Yes. Within three days of receiving a request related to building or excavating within the NEB safety zone, a pipeline company must deploy personnel to mark the exact location of the pipeline. Our people must also ensure that the work to be performed is not within the pipeline easement, and that it will not cause damage to the pipeline. The process may take some time and trouble on the part of landowners and the pipeline company, but it just helps increase pipeline safety for everyone.
