OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada’s energy regulator said on Thursday it issued a stop work order to Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) after inspectors found several environmental and safety-related non-compliances in a wetland area in British Columbia.
Some of the non-compliances, found near Abbotsford in the Pacific coast province, include insufficient fencing to protect amphibians and unapproved vegetation clearing, the regulator said in a notice on its website.
