Ms. Parsons,
Thank you for clarifying that you do not want information on all pipelines and that your request is specifically related to the York Energy Centre (YEC) Leave to Construct (LTC) application. It appears from your latest email that your intent is to compare the YEC LTC application to previous Enbridge Gas Distribution (EGD) LTC applications.
I wish to clarify that LTC applications are not required for all natural gas distribution pipelines and that there are no recent applications for other high-pressure pipelines in York Region. However, there are a number of recent LTC applications available for your review. Further to an email sent to you (and others) from EGDs Bonnie Adams on 08-Dec-2009, previous EGD LTC applications are available on-line at www.enbridgegas.com/yorkpipeline. Use the navigation menu on the left of your screen to access the other LTC applications. In addition, hearing transcripts and Ontario Energy Board (OEB) decisions are available on the OEB website at http://www.oeb.gov.on.ca/OEB/Hearings+and+Decisions.
With respect to your comment on gas volumes, please refer to the YEC LTC application, Exhibit C, Tab 1, Schedule 3.
Given that you are working on behalf of Mr. Harvey Tenebaum, (an intervener) we request that future interrogatories be submitted according to the OEB Procedural Order No. 1 dated 05-Nov-2009. This Order requires that "Intervenors and Board staff who wish information and material from the Applicant that is in addition to the evidence filed with the Board, and that is relevant to the hearing, shall request it by written interrogatories filed with the Board and delivered to the Applicant on or before Friday December 11, 2009."

RE: Request for maps of existing pipelines - reply
Edwin Makkinga,
I appreciate the fact that the position of high-pressure gas lines is sensitive infrastructure. However, not having the information puts Mr. Harvey Tenenbaum, who has Intervenor status at the Ontario Energy Boar with respect to Enbridges Leave to Construct Application for the York Energy Centre in King Township, and who I am assisting, at a distinct disadvantage in the hearings.
I am not asking for all locations in Ontario only the ones in York Region that I can use to compare the current application to.
I must admit that I am dismayed by your lack of disclosure. This summer I asked you for gas volumes that your proposed pipeline will transport. You referred me to the consultant for the York Energy Centre instead, and he replied that daily gas volumes were considered proprietary, but allowed that weekly gas volumes would be from 0 TJ/week to 550 TJ/week.
That amount was adjusted upward by Enbridges own disclosure in its evidence to the Ontario Energy Board, which stated that the maximum capacity would be 136,000 cubic metres per hour -- an hourly disclosure no less-- (or 5.2 terajoules), approximately a 60% increase over the consultants information.
Maps of gas pipeline routes are available in ERRs but I asked you for them in the interest of time.

Ms. Parsons,
Our records department has reviewed your request and has replied with the following:
"Enbridge Gas Distribution receives numerous requests regarding the location of distribution infrastructure from a variety of sources on a daily basis. Due to the critical importance of the gas distribution infrastructure, Enbridge does not process requests from private individuals, institutions, or their agents for information that is deemed sensitive."
