The National Energy Board (NEB) will oversee a full-scale marine deployment emergency exercise at the Kinder Morgan Canada Westridge Marine Terminal (Westridge) in Burnaby, British Columbia.
Emergency exercises are a regulatory requirement that all NEB-regulated companies are required to conduct. The NEB expects companies to be capable of responding effectively should an emergency occur. Assessment of the companyº£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø™s capability to respond to an emergency under real world conditions reflects the NEBº£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø™s mandate to actively monitor compliance with regulatory requirements through the life of all NEB-approved projects.
The NEB will take enforcement action should non-compliance occur during the exercise.
This exercise is unrelated to the current TransMountain Expansion project application currently under NEB review. Emergency exercise oversight is part of the NEBº£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø™s lifecycle regulatory role.
