Dear Mr. Wiun:
Re: Plateau Pipe Line Ltd.
Pembina Western Pipeline – End of Life Report
On March 31, 2010, Plateau Pipe Line Ltd. (Plateau) filed a letter with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) and Shippers addressing the end of life issue as directed in Order P-4-09.
With complaint based regulation, the Commission only takes action on the receipt of an application or complaint. The Commission acknowledges Plateau’s filing addressing the end of life issue as requested; however, no further action will be taken at this time, as no application or complaint has been filed with the Commission.
The Commission takes no position on the appropriateness of the actions proposed by Plateau in the March 31, 2010 letter.
Plateau is reminded that section 9(1) of the Pipeline Act requires the Oil and Gas Commission to approve all asset abandonments.
The Commission has sent this letter, in copy, to representatives of Plateau’s Shippers, including Shell Trading Canada, Husky Energy Marketing Inc. and Chevron Canada Limited. However, Plateau is responsible to ensure all Shippers on the Pembina Western Pipeline system receive a copy of this letter and Plateau’s letter filed March 31, 2010 with the Commission.
Yours truly,
