Line 9 Pipeline reversal project poses threat to connectivity in the Algonquin to Adirondacks (A2A)
Enbridge Pipelines Inc. has plans to reverse the flow in its Line 9 oil pipeline between Sarnia and Montreal, permitting tar sands oil from western Canada to be transported east. CPAWS-OV has serious concerns about the Line 9 pipeline reversal because it crosses all of the rivers and stream that flow south into the St. Lawrence River and form critical ecological linkages connecting Algonquin Park to Adirondack State Park (A2A); this is a landscape in which the chapter has strong conservation and connectivity interests. We fear that a rupture in the pipeline similar to the one that occurred on March 29 in Arkansas, would compromise a multitude of species, wetlands and protected areas as well as damage important north - south linkages.
