Enbridge Gas Inc. (Enbridge Gas) has applied for approval to construct approximately 3.1 kilometres of natural gas pipelines and related assets to meet the requests of existing customers, Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc., CRH Canada Group Inc., and CertainTeed Canada Inc. for incremental natural gas service (Project). The Project consists of:
- Approximately 3.1 kilometres of NPS 6-inch steel natural gas main pipeline with a maximum operating
pressure (MOP) of 1,900 kPa to reinforce the natural gas supply - Approximately 290 metres of NPS 6-inch steel natural gas service pipeline with a MOP of 1,900 kPa to the
CRH Canada Inc. customer station - Rebuild of the CRH Canada Inc. and Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc. natural gas customer stations
- A new natural gas district regulating station and approximately 20 metres of NPS 4-inch steel natural gas
pipeline
Enbridge Gas has also applied for approval of the forms of agreement it will offer to landowners affected by the routing or location of the Project. Enbridge Gas states that the incremental service requested by the customers supports conversion from other fuel sources and organic business growth. Enbridge Gas states that it has executed long-term fi rm service contracts with the customers to fully fund the cost of the Project and that there will be no cost impact on existing ratepayers.
The location of the proposed pipelines is shown in the map.
The OEB will also assess:
- The applicant’s compliance with the OEB’s Environmental Guidelines for the Location, Construction and
Operation of Hydrocarbon Pipelines and Facilities in Ontario. - Whether the duty to consult with Indigenous Communities potentially affected by the proposed pipeline
has been discharged with respect to the application.

Submit a letter of comment
You can submit a letter of comment that will be considered by the panel deciding the application. Unless the notice states otherwise, your letter of comment will be accepted until the record of the proceeding is closed (which usually occurs with the filing of the applicant’s final reply argument). However, you are encouraged to submit your letter as early in the process as you can. Depending on timing of receipt of letters of comment, the applicant will typically provide a respond to the issues raised in those letters. Your letter will be provided directly to the panel of Commissioners who will be deciding whether the application is approved. The panel will consider your comments in reaching their decision. The panel will only be able to consider comments which relate to issues which are within the authority of the OEB and relevant to the issues being considered by the panel.
