Trans Mountain Expansion Project
The Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMEP) is an expansion and twinning of the existing Trans Mountain oil pipeline system between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, B.C. It includes approximately 980 kilometres of new pipeline, new and modified facilities (such as pump stations, tanks, tanker berths, and transmission lines), and the reactivation of 193 km of existing pipeline.
The Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) federally regulates this project. However, the BC Energy Regulator is still responsible for reviewing some applications, typically related to access to lands, for the portion of the pipeline within British Columbia.

Primary Project Permits
Permits for natural gas pipelines (and related compressors, meter stations, etc.) or LNG Facilities are required before construction can start on a major project. Applications go through a thorough permitting process, described in our Permitting Process page. Approvals, issued under the Oil and Gas Activities Act (OGAA), contain specific conditions and requirements that the proponent must meet in order to be in compliance with the permit.
