Where the conveyance of a liquid hydrocarbon by way of a pipeline within the meaning of the Ontario Regulation 210/01 under the Technical Standards and Safety Act, or that is subject to the National Energy Board Act is or could be a significant threat. When the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) or Ontario Energy Board (OEB) receives an application for a pipeline through a vulnerable area where it could pose a significant threat the CER or OEB is encouraged to undertake the following actions:

 Notify the Source Protection Authority and City of Greater Sudbury of pipeline location
 Require consideration of vulnerable areas for the protection of drinking water sources in site selection encourage pipeline owners/operators to include design, monitoring and maintenance practices that would prevent the pipeline from becoming a significant threat

Monitoring policy M22 applies.

M22: By February 1, the National Energy Board shall report to the Source Protection Authority on any activities undertaken to implement this policy in the previous calendar year.
