Opening the Door to Oil Sands ExpansionThe Hidden Environmental Impacts of the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline
Published: Jan 18, 2010By: Greg Brown, Jennifer Grant, Jeremy Moorhouse
The proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline Project will facilitate
the expansion of the Alberta oil sands. If the current
business-as-usual management of the the oil sands prevail, the
environmental impacts associated with the pipeline will be significant.
Opening the Door to Oil Sands Expansion
highlights the climate, land, water and air impacts that would occur as
a result of this project. It recommends that before further steps are
taken to develop the Enbridge oil sands pipeline, the environmental
management concerns of the oil sands need to be addressed and a public
inquiry that
could engage communities in the full range of impacts be concluded.
