Mr. Dipak Dattani, Deputy Director
Engineering, provided an overview of the impacts that Kinder Morgan’s
proposed pipeline routing plan will have on the City of Burnaby.
The speaker advised that the Project
components consists of: 980 km of new pipeline, 193 km reactivated pipeline,
12 new pump stations, 19 new storage tanks to existing terminals (13 new
tanks including one replacement tank in Burnaby alone), and expansion of
three new tanker berths at Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.
Mr. Dattani noted that the City
remains opposed to the Project, and it is challenging the Federal Governor in
Council decision in the Federal Courts.
The speaker further noted that on
2017 March 3, Kinder Morgan filed the Plan, Profile and Book of Reference
(PPBoR) with the NEB as part of the detailed pipeline route approval
process. There is a 30 day time limit starting from the date a landowner
receives the notice from Kinder Morgan to submit Statement of Opposition to
the NEB. The City was served with notices for City-owned lands on 2017 April
6. However, adjacent landowners, leaseholders or occupants did not receive a
direct notice from Kinder Morgan. These persons have 30 days from the last
publication of the notice in the local newspaper to submit their Statement of
Opposition to the NEB.
As part of the City’s public
information and awareness program, the City delivered letters to residents
and businesses adjacent to the proposed pipeline route alignment, details on
the City’s website and advertised in the Burnaby Now and Sing Tao newspapers.
In conclusion, Mr. Dattani advised
that significant impacts will be at the following key areas:
·
Cottonwood
Park – sterilizes park land for future public uses, and significant impacts
to Stoney Creek;
·
Forest
Hill/Meadowood Park Neighbourhood – diminished value of City’s buffer area
covenant, and loss of forested area that serves as a buffer to the Shellmont
Tank Farm;
·
Brunette
Conservation Area – significantly decreased conservation value through loss
of forest, and significant impacts to Brunette River watershed.

Mr. Sam Otim, representing the New
Westminster and District Labour Council, appeared before Council to present
information regarding the Annual Day of Mourning for workers killed or
injured on the job.
The speaker noted the presentation
is to raise awareness of workplace health and safety, as the impact of work
related injury and death reaches beyond the workplace and into the
communities.
Mr. Otim advised that the United
Steelworkers Westray Campaign led to Bill C-45, which amended the Criminal
Code of Canada to assign criminal liability to organizations for acts of
their representatives. The Westray Amendment came into a law in early 2004.
In 2013, the Steelworkers began a campaign called ‘Stop the Killing, Enforce
the Law’, and have lobbied to ensure that police, Crown Prosecutors and
regulators are better educated and trained on the Westray Amendment and that
there is coordination between agencies responding to workplace fatalities.
In conclusion, Mr. Otim encouraged
everyone to commemorate the Day of Mourning for Workers’ Killed and Injured
on the Job on Friday, 2017 April 28 at 11 a.m. at Pier Park in New
Westminster.
|
|
His Worship, Mayor Derek R. Corrigan
