The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that the National Energy Board has ordered Enbridge to halt work along an oil pipeline in Manitoba because of safety and environmental concerns. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports the NEB says an inspection earlier this month on Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, which runs between Alberta and Wisconsin, revealed several problems. It says wetlands and agricultural land near Cromer, Man., were damaged and open excavations posed safety hazards. Enbridge announced plans earlier this year to replace Line 3 in its entirety -- a $7.5-billion undertaking that would be the largest project in Enbridge's history. Company spokesman Graham White says the stop-work order was not related to that project, but to regular maintenance work on the existing 46-year-old pipeline. He says Enbridge has already started working on some of the issues raised by the NEB. The NEB says it will not allow work to resume until it is satisfied the problems have been fixed by Enbridge. The NEB says, "Multiple construction mitigation measures committed to by Enbridge in its environmental protection plan to conserve topsoil, control erosion and manage drainage were not implemented."
