  • File Of-Fac-Oil-N304-2010-01 021 13 December 2013 Mr. Barry Robinson Staff Lawyer Ecojustice Concerns Regarding Intelligence Gathering, Northern Gateway Project Hearings In your letter of 27 November 2013, you express concern about media reports that the National Energy Board gathered information and intelligence regarding safety and security during the Northern Gateway Project hearings. The National Energy Board has the duty to see that its public hearings are safe for the public, participants, NEB staff and the presiding members. In order to help fulfill this duty, open source information and social media scans are conducted and information is sought from local police, the RCMP and other organizations that may help to identify and evaluate risks. The position of, and the passion expressed by, a party is not a factor in determining whether a party poses a risk. Any threats of criminal action, disobedience or disturbance to the process, however, are taken seriously so that appropriate security measures can be put in place before incidents occur to ensure the safety of the public, participants, NEB staff and presiding members. Rallies and meetings planned near to, and to coincide with, our hearings are identified in this regard. Even when the organizers of these events are not a safety risk, the events themselves may attract individuals or groups who are. Events that are meant to be peaceful can turn violent despite the intentions of the organizers. Within this context I will provide answers to some of your questions and explain why other questions will not be answered. …/2 SmithJ Typewritten Text <contact information removed> -2- The National ...

  • Joint Review Panel Application for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project NEB 444 Seventh Ave. SW Calgary, Alberta T2P 0X8 November 18, 2013 Dear Members of the Joint Review Panel: This letter is to express my objections to the way the JRP, through its lawyer handled my latest Notice of Motion #24. I posted it on November 13 on the IRP website. I had contacted - on November 4, asking if it was still possible to file a Notice of Motion after the proceedings were closed. She diligently communicated her findings on November 5 and gave me useful legal references for filing the motion. While it was easy to post it on November 13 on the JRP website, difficulties with my g-mail prevented me to send it to all intervenors as required. These difficulties arose about 6 months ago when some changes in the g-mail program nrevented me from copying the 232 e-mail addresses, something I was able to do before. , Regulatory Officer with the NEB, helped me many times and without any hesitation in the past, for doing such, so it was in good faith that I requested her to do so for #24 in an e-mail to her. I also left her a phone message. I was surprised to receive a phone call from on November 14, telling me she had been instructed by the lawyer to NOT forward the document on my behalf because the proceedings were closed and thati was on my own for sending the Notice’of Motion to all intervenors.. I phoned on November 15. She simply replied she could neither let me know if she had instructe4 or not to help me, nor comment on it, because it was client/lawyer privilege. I contend that to give instructions to help an intervenor trying to follow the requirements to perform her duties is nothing short of an obstruction. It is in sharp ...

Rule 44(3) of the NEB Rules of Practices and Procedures establishes that “For the purposes of subsection (2), unless otherwise determined by the Board, an original proceeding is considered to be closed (a) in the case of an oral hearing, at the end of the final argument; and (b) in the case of a written hearing, on the close of business for the Board on the later of (i) the last date for filing of written evidence, and (ii) the last date for filing argument. 2. While officially the original proceeding closed on June 24, 2013, by stating “unless otherwise determined by the Board”, rule 44(3) allows the Board to override the final closure. 3. I submit that the Board should override the final closure and inlude the Recovery Strategy for the North Pacific Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Canada3, October 21, 2013 by DFO which should be treated as “late evidence”, and included in the overall evidence leading to the decision by the JRP on the application for the Northern Gateway pipeline for the ...

  • Joint Review Panel Northern Gateway Project October 25, 2013 Dear Panel Members: I want to voice my displeasure at the poor way the amendment to the agreement between the NEB and the Minister of the Environment regarding the joint review of the northern gateway pipeline project was communicated to intervenors in the review and the pubic at large. I note Minister Aglukkaq signed the agreement September 21, Mr. Caron October 2 and it was posted on the website October 7. No notification of this amendment was sent to intervenors. I had to phone Mr. Hudson to find out what it was about which could have been easily explained in plain language. This silent posting does not inspire trust in the process which has already been plagued with significant changes along the way. I request that, if any changes to the process are forthcoming, that the Panel communicate those changes directly to intervenors using plain English language and the reasons for the changes. Sincerely, Josette Wier Intervenor smithj Typewritten Text (A54934) smithj Typewritten Text

  • March 28, 2013 To Joint Review Panel Northern Gateway Pipeline National Energy Board 444 7th Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta Dear Madame et Messieurs Re: Ruling 151 Contrary to the first sentence of your March 21, 2013 ruling 151 the items mentioned in my March 12, 2013 notice of motion were not repeat items. The new information consisted of bringing to the panels’ attention that each intervenor ahead of the participant had a veto whether a participant could move ahead and that with needing permission from multiple participants, Intervenors have to make exponential efforts to achieve fairness of participation. Maybe the realization that proceeding alphabetically places obstacles in the way of those later in the alphabet was apparent to the JRP when establishing that process and not new to them, but the components of the notice of motion were new information presented publically. Or the panel is simply not paying attention to information put before it. Far from being equitable and objective alphabetical ordering is biased and discriminatory as may be found from studies and research showing, among other things: • affects happiness • affects academic standing • confers political advantage • affects income earning to the measurable extent of 1% difference per letter in the alphabet - with those at the end of the alphabet, generally earning 25% less than those whose name starts at the beginning of the alphabet. Notice of Motion That the Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel members: A) write a research paper/essay on alphabetical discrimination and it's effects on members of society whose names are not near the beginning of the alphabet B) issue an apology for ...

Enbridge Northern Gateway Project Application of 27 May 2010 Hearing Order OH-4-2011 I am writing in response to the Enbridge’s letter of March 1, 2013 wherein Enbridge responded to my motion dated February 7, 2013 requesting a copy of a 2002 report by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) entitled “ Optimized Escort tug Operations at Fawley Terminal” (“DNV 2002 Report”). My response is as follows. The National Energy Board Act, specifically Section 16.1, provides the Board with the authority to make orders to ensure confidentiality of information that may be disclosed in this proceeding and at this point the Board has not done with respect to the information I have requested in my motion. Even if the Board accepts Enbridge’s arguments the requirements of Section 16.1 would need to be satisfied before the Board could rule that the requested information is confidential and therefore not available to be released. Section 16.1 in its entirety reads: 16.1 In any proceedings under this Act, the Board may take any measures and make any order that it considers necessary to ensure the confidentiality of any information likely to be disclosed in the proceedings if the Board is satisfied that (a) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss or gain to a person directly affected by the proceedings, or could reasonably be expected to prejudice the person’s competitive position; or (b) the information is financial, commercial, scientific ...

I believe this whole project is a bad idea! If given a go-ahead, the pipeline project would: Fragment the boreal forest, home to birds and other wildlife, including Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears. Expose the Great Bear Rainforest, home to wolves and the iconic Spirit Bear, and 30 internationally recognized Important Bird Areas teeming with marine birds, fish and other animals to potential oil spills and pollution from increased tanker traffic. Risk irreversible harm to the livelihoods of many coastal and aboriginal communities. Moving that much oil that far is bound to have devastating effect on the environment.

As a citizen of Canada I have grave concerns about the future health and welfare of our great country. Specifically, our environment is OBVIOUSLY facing grave danger in the not distant future from rampant development of the TAR sands (they maybe produce oil, but they consist of TAR SANDS) which entail horrific tailing ponds and huge use of the areas water supply. To put in a pipeline for the purpose of moving the product of the tar sands to the west coast is foolish (listen to the First Nations people it is their life and land that is being endangered). OF-Fac-Oil-N304-2010-01 01 (A38996) To use a pipeline to move the bitumen to the west coast in order to ship it in huge tankers across the ocean is nothing less than criminal stupidity. We already IMPORT fuel into Canada. WE NEED TO BUILD A CANADIAN OIL REFINERY IN ALBERTA ...

My interest stems from the fact that in my 70 years of living, I have witnessed tremendous changes in my environment. Some undoubtedly are due to overpopulation but by far, the most are directly attributable to 20 and 21st century technology, primarily the combustible gasoline engine. As for the pipeline, time and time again we have seen the results of pipeline breakdowns, explosions, leaks, etc. You can never completely reverse the results of these accidents. There is no longer any need to use oil to drive our economy. The economy of the future is in solar energy. It already exists and utilizing it poses no environmentals concerns of which I am aware.
