Hello,
Please ensure there is a section included in the Planning Act that states the following as it relates to Trans-Northern Pipeline Inc.:
- protection for Right-of-way (ROW) for current and future projected needs
– recognize that increased population growth may impact our pipelines and might drive our need to upgrade/replace pipeline portion. Early consultation recommended within 200m to recognize potential impacts on the pipeline industry, striving to avoid adverse impacts to energy infrastructure
- CER Prescribed Area of 30m from the pipeline, requiring authorization within this area
- Setbacks to be determined based on the type of pipeline and stress level of the pipeline with consultation with the pipeline operator - we recommend 10 m from the ROW boundary
-Easements to be incorporated into development plans, recommending open spaces, walkways and not to be incorporated into individual lots. Consultation with operator and written consent for right-of-way or near the right-of-way.
Additionally, all proposals for development within 200 m from the TNPI pipeline, are requested to send proposals to landroweast@tnpi.ca
TNPI would like to thank the City of Toronto for the opportunity to contribute to the planning process and a joint effort ensures that appropriate development is planned in the areas affected by the TNPI pipeline.
Thank you,
Michelle Gruszecki
