Enbridge Athabasca filed an application with the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) on March 30, 2012. Other federal, provincial and municipal permits are also required for this project.

Subject to the receipt of regulatory and environmental approvals, it is anticipated that the Project would begin construction in late 2013, starting with civil construction at pump station locations in October 2013, followed by ROW clearing and pipeline construction in the Green Zone (Crown Land) once frozen ground conditions exist in December 2013.

Pipeline construction is expected to begin in the White Zone (privately held land) in August 2014, with the planned pipeline in service in January 2015.
