The Proposed Project

Rockpoint AECO Gas Storage Partnership is requesting authorization to perform the following work on the Canadian Forces Base Suffield Military Range. This project requires the installation of a new Cathodic rectifier to be installed at LSD 4-22-18-9W4M and to drill and new deep cathodic anode bed at LSD 4-22-18-9W4M, we then will need to trench in a return cable from the Cathodic rectifier site LSD4-22-18-9W4M out approximately 1500 meters to LSD102-16-15-18-9 W4M and connect it to our existing infrastructure. This project is required to provide adequate corrosion protection to our existing infrastructure in the BB-pool areas.
