PIPELINES
Trans Mountain Resumes Oil Pipeline Expansion Work on Halted British Columbia Portion - The Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion project on Tuesday said it had been allowed to resume work in a wetland area near Abbotsford, British Columbia, after correcting issues raised by the Canada Energy Regulator (CER). Earlier this month, the CER ordered a halt on an 800-meter stretch after inspectors found several environmental and safety-related non-compliances. "Trans Mountain has received a notice to resume work from the Canada Energy Regulator ... Trans Mountain corrected all non-compliances in the region and is conducting safety inspections of all active sites to prevent any re-occurrence," it said in an emailed statement.
