The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Washington State has documents outlining emergency response plans for a Kinder Morgan pipeline -- plans similar to those British Columbians have been told by Canada's National Energy Board they are not allowed to see due to security concerns. The Globe's David Geselbracht writes that the B.C. government lost a battle with the NEB in January to have greater access to Enbridge rival Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline emergency response plan (ERP). Kinder Morgan had already provided B.C. with a version of the plan, but significant portions were blacked out. The denied information included specific response times, valve locations and evacuation zone maps. The government had argued it needed the entire plan to be able to understand Kinder Morgan's ability to respond to an oil spill. The proposed $6.5-billion Trans Mountain expansion would twin the pipeline and triple the capacity for Alberta oil intended for Asian markets. However, in Washington State Kinder Morgan has provided a more comprehensive response plan. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert wants to know why a similarly detailed plan is not available for B.C. residents.
