The City of Burnaby has launched a constitutional challenge of the National Energy Board. It claims the regulatory body doesn’t have the power to force a municipality to cooperate with Kinder Morgan, which wants to do surveying and testing work in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area for its proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. So it’s launched a constitutional challenge to prove it.
Kinder Morgan now wants to run its proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. And it needs to do geotechnical work, including drilling, to study the route. For that, it needs Burnaby city hall to issue permits for it to access the city-owned Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
