What are a landowners rights when a pipeline is being constructed?
Federal and provincial regulations and guidelines require companies applying to build and operate pipelines to provide information to all parties whose rights may be directly affected so they can fully understand what is being proposed and what the potential impacts may be. A company must provide details about how and why it chose the proposed route as well as locations for pumping or compressor stations and other facilities, or access roads and other features of the project. A company must also inform landowners what to expect in terms of equipment use and land access needs during construction and future operations.
