Jan 11 (Reuters) - The British Columbia government will
formally oppose expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline by
Kinder Morgan Inc (N:KMI) KMI.N in a written submission to the
National Energy Board, the Vancouver Sun reported, citing the
province's environment minister.
The government believes that Kinder Morgan has failed to
provide the National Energy Board with an adequate plan to
prevent or respond to an oil spill, the report said, citing
Environment Minister Mary Polak.
"We are asking them not to recommend approval," the report
said, citing Polak.
The U.S. pipeline currently ships 300,000 barrels per day
(bpd) of crude from Edmonton, Alberta, to Burnaby, British
Columbia. The proposed expansion will nearly treble capacity to
890,000 barrels per day, providing more access to Asian markets.
The National Energy Board, Kinder Morgan and Mary Polak's
office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The government will give the submission to the National
Energy Board on Monday, the report said.
Kinder Morgan had filed final written argument for the Trans
Mountain pipeline expansion project with Canadian regulators in
December.
