Who We Are |
The group’s members are owners of property which is crossed or covered in some portion by the Energy East route. As residents of the areas to be crossed by the proposed oil-carrying pipeline (currently a natural gas carrier) NTCLA members are also concerned about these same issues with respect to surrounding areas well beyond our property lines, and the potential for environmental and economic harm to our communities and region.

Our focus |
The Nipissing-Temiskaming-Cochrane Landowners’ Alliance intends to focus in two areas in the NEB review of the Energy East project: emergency response times and measures and liability issues. As the landowners whose property is passed, abutted or otherwise imprinted by the pipeline, the possibility of that liability being transferred to the landowners is of high concern, as is the possibility that there would be no party held liable for clean up costs, and the damages from a spill would not be fully remediated.
