Did You Know?… |
The National Energy Board (NEB) has just created a pamphlet on the new Administrative Monetary Penalties that can penalize landowners for crossing pipelines without permission. For individual landowners the “daily” penalty could range from $250 to a maximum of $25,000 per violation. If, as a landowner, you have a corporation the “daily” penalty could range from $1,000 to a maximum of $100,000 per violation. The original agreement on my family farm said the pipeline was not to interfere with normal farm practices!
CAEPLA has been advised that the NEB has no intention of sending notice of these new regulations or the new pamphlet out to pipeline landowners. Be sure to understand your risks. If you would like a copy of the pamphlet titled “Administrative Monetary Penalties Information for Landowners”, contact the NEB at 1-800-899-1265.

What is fair market value? For land? For energy projects? See the letter below written March 25th to landowners affected by BiPole III.
