The DPR – The obligations of pipeline companies define the responsibilities of pipeline companies with respect to proposed soil malfunction activities, construction in the vicinity of pipelines and vehicle crossings. The NEB requires companies to anticipate, prevent, manage and mitigate potentially dangerous conditions related to their gas pipelines. Any disturbance to the ground, any construction activity or crossing the vehicle is unique and this guide cannot deal with all cases. Its purpose is to help you determine whether you need to obtain consent or authorization, where to obtain it, and how to obtain it. This document should only be considered as a guide and, in any event, priority should be given to the obligations of the pipeline companies (the regulations), the law and the regulations of the National Energy Board Pipeline Damage Prevention Regulations. Use: Model agreements and previous business forms provided by the Canadian Petroleum Lands Association (“CAPL Business Forms”) are protected documents. All or part of the CAPL activity forms uploaded by current CAPL members to this CAPL website may not be made available to any non-CAPL member (electronically or otherwise). Non-members can purchase CAPL forms from the capl office. In addition, all or part of the CAPL activity forms may not be used in a publication and may not be distributed (electronically or otherwise) for educational purposes without the express written consent of CAPL. Disclaimer: CAPL business forms and associated comments are only used as a guide. CAPL members have the right to use, where appropriate, the CAPL management forms and to revise all provisions as they see fit, provided that such revisions are indicated in the revised corporate form. Under Section 112 of the NEB Act, the following measures are prohibited, unless permitted by regulation or the provision of the board of directors: soil malfunction activities in the prescribed area; construction of facilities above, on, along, along or under a pipeline; and vehicle crossings of an oil pipeline.
If the rules are not followed when carrying out an activity that causes soil disturbance in the prescribed area, when constructing a facility near an oil pipeline or crossing a pipeline, this is not permitted and illegal, unless otherwise authorized by the board of directors. DPR authorizations apply to all those who carry out: an activity that causes soil disturbance in the prescribed area that extends vertically on both sides of the median line of the pipe (DPR – Authorizations, section 2); the construction of a facility above, on, along or under a pipeline; or crossing a pipeline (including priority) with a vehicle or mobile equipment. . . .
