Onshore Pipeline Regulations and Filing Manuals Update

Please do not build this pipeline

Pipelines have no place in Canada or anywhere. We are in the midst of a climate emergency. And pipelines involve a lot of wildlife destruction and animal testing. Please preserve the trees at this location. Please do not harm animals with this project. Please do not use animal testing for pollution and effluent monitoring. https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fish Please work with the Canadian Centre for the Alternatives to Animal Methods. https://www.uwindsor.ca/ccaam/ Please only use non lethal ways to live with geese, beavers, and other wildlife. Develop a Living With Coyotes program with the animal welfare organization Coyote Watch Canada. www.coyotewatchcanada.com Please only use non lethal ways to manage wildlife. There are humane, non lethal ways to deal with beavers. Here's a great resource. https://thefurbearers.com/downloads/PDFs/Beaver%20Book%20-%202019-10-08%20The%20Fur-Bearers.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1fP2wOYQKbWREX0E5QzYBhZLf9VjwMov3p37Vh8ToW1-NeQvAoVATZhEg%0A%0A https://www.change.org/p/stop-banff-from-killing-animals-after-conflicts https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/humanely-scare-away-canada-geese https://www.canadageese.org/nlcontrol.html https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/humane-goose-control-pdf.pdf https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/what-do-about-canada-geese This company makes non lethal products. https://margosupplies.com/ca-en/  Conventional rodent control uses cruel methods. The companies use glue traps, and snap traps, which, like legholds, can cause injury. They also use rodenticide, which kills slowly and kills many non target animals. https://m.facebook.com/RFOntario/?paipv=0&eav=AfbUBVKF7c1YhT9VJVluqvql7GZ6aUMN4HXsj08GSKGr148rCtpTybY7c3qkHVWijzs Killing animals does not solve the problem. Montreal’s feeding ban bylaw and Rouge National Park's bear proof bins are far more effective because they remove attractants. Please change your pest control policy to instead remove attractants, and fix holes, along with a humane contraception program. Please invest in non lethal solutions like bear proof bins (which also keep out rats) and public education. Tuffbox is a garbage and recycling bin that keeps out bears and rodents. Please also visit www.bearwithus.org to learn more about bears. https://tuffboxx.com http://bonzaiaphrodite.com/2014/09/cruelty-free-pest-control-rats-and-mice/ https://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/is-there-a-humane-way-to-get-rid-of-mice-and-rats/ https://m.facebook.com/groups/1117504815249691/permalink/1117515305248642/ https://www.peta.org/?s=Humane+pest+control https://antipestrepeller.com/discountsca/sales-page.php?adid=ggdisplay&cid=luccse5&affId=6ACC337B&c1=ca&c2=maxcon_smartdisplay&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8JyunKzz6wIVHggBCh3NGwocEAEYASAAEgIzTvD_BwE <20200619131322_mouse-slider.jpg> CONNTRACEPTOL® EFFICIENCY IN MOUSE CONTROL - GUARANTEED MOUSE CONTROL via-pet.com https://www.via-pet.com/pest-control/p/conntraceptop-forte-for-rats?fbclid=IwAR15EVdQ21_4kYqPuqkX-m2Hyd6y_YF7c9XIVOkO58deqJqkylRcyu1Djvs  https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluations/document/155182 Bears are waking up earlier.

encouraging technology

prevent contamination or future issues by using drones, ground scans, etc.

Durable materials, regular maintenance, leak detection systems

Making sure the land is safe and clean is top priority for me. What good would a pipeline be if the land around it is destroyed.

re: why

most of this is boring to read, if you're really involved then someone might contribute something. to the non-involved, it's like trying to push in information that isn't desirable to the public... or something like that.

Remove pipelines but also end animal testing

Please remove animal testing as part of pollution monitoring when a pipeline is decommissioned. Ireland no longer uses animal testing for effluent.

Include animals

Please include animal rescue and evacuation in the emergency plans. This includes pets, farm animals, and wildlife.

I would like to see more Indigenous inclusion on all facets, including water prevention and contamination.

Ongoing Community based monitorring of contimnated sites.

Contaminated sites should be continuiously monitoored for at least 10 years, higher volume of spills more monitooring

Protect animals

Please protect animals in the environmental plan. Protect animals from the oil, but also replace animal testing with non animal methods to detect pollution. https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fish Please also only use non lethal humane ways to keep animals away from construction and the pipeline itself.

Consider chemical sensitivity

Consider that neurodivergent people and people with disabilities may be more sensitive and thus more affected by oil leaks. I am autistic and more sensitive to even the Earth being harmed.

Make Indigenous training a priority for all levels of employees

As pipelines and resource extraction activities occur on various forms of Indigenous lands, the CER should aim to be Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) certified.

OPR Realignment

A general OPR improvement opportunity is to reorganize content to align with the various phases of a pipeline lifecycle (Design, Construct, Operate, Abandon). For example, section 14 Materials could be included in section 9 Design of the Pipeline, and sections 16 Joining and 23 Pressure Testing could be moved under section 18 Construction.

Ensure contractors care about animals

Please ensure that contractors are humane educated on peaceful coexistence with wildlife like bears and coyotes. They get disturbed by construction. Please ask that they don’t use lethal “pest” control. Contractors should be respectful of animals.
