TIME FOR COMMON SENSE--PIPE LINERS!

We must REDUCE THE PROBABILITY and minimize consequences of an ‘incident’. HOW?

1.TRAIN:— The Board of Directors must SHOW that training was DEVELOPED and DELIVERED in line with international technical and operating knowledge. Example—the Enbridge Kalamazoo pipe line failure —Were known pipe line system deficiencies addressed adequately and was maintenance and operating field personnel and control room staff training ‘up to snuff’??

The Enbridge Inc. Board of Directors is responsible for the overall STEWARDSHIP;say Enbridge;which means planning and management of ALL resources? Kinder Morgan ,likewise I’d guess.

2.Use COMMON SENSE —see PLANS A and B.

KINDER MORGAN : Proposed scary PLAN A:—Burrard inlet location:
It’s a “Tight squeeze through Second Narrows—”says “North Vancouver oceanographer Peter Baker points out that Port Metro has changed its rules to allow larger tankers, carrying 700,000 barrels of oil, to travel through Second Narrows...see link http://www.georgiastrait.org/files/share/kerSafetyExpertPanel-PB-0v1-61-5July2010-rdx.pdf read this and decide what should be done—lots of room for debate I assume—but the tankers get wider and the Narrows remain narrow.
KINDER MORGAN : PLAN B —Relocate all Kinder Morgan facilities and shipping and to ROBERTS BANK—that’s why Roberts Bank was built—yes we know that a conveyor system could be damaged as happened recently at Westshore terminals—but what about a Burrard Inlet CNR rail bridge damage ‘incident’ and SPILL at Second Narrows??...OR WORSE ?
ENBRIDGE: Proposed scary PLAN A ; Douglas Channel transit .
ENBRIDGE:PLAN B—move OUT of Douglas Channel.
BC citizens should not be asked to bear all the risks without comprehensive disaster insurance scheme in place—!
The BC public needs to see a willingness by the pipe liners to listen and respond—OR
maybe just leave the oil in the ground--until???
