Imperial Oil has served notice that they're not crazy about some of the conditions placed on development of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline project. Some of the points they take issue with:
- A requirement that all operations in the area of the Mackenzie Delta bird sanctuary must be no louder than 50 decibels 300 metres away from the fence.
- Strict requirements on reporting a number of activities (such as garbage incineration)
- Detailed permafrost assessments before trenching is performed
Doubtless these requirements do add to the cost of the project, and there will likely be some back-and-forth in front of the NEB to determine how crucial these conditions are. I'm somehow doubtful that these conditions will be allowed to kill the project, though.
