Protecting water

Our commitment to protecting the environment includes managing our interactions with water responsibly. Recognizing the importance of water to ecosystems and communities alike, we implement environmental protection measures informed by regulatory requirements and input from stakeholder and Indigenous engagement when crossing waterbodies during construction or using water to test the integrity of our pipelines.

How we protect water

When planning a new pipeline, we conduct site-specific assessments on waterways and wetlands along a proposed route. We aim to take the least disruptive option based on these assessments, regulatory requirements, industry best practices, constructability and economic feasibility. We evaluate a proposed facility or pipeline to understand the nature and extent of potential interactions with fish and fish habitat, vegetation, wetlands, hydrology, and water quality and quantity.
