Seismic reports – liquefaction potential
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB,
at least 3 months prior to commencing
construction
, a final report that identifies all sites along the Project , that have “Very
High,” “High,” and “Moderate” liquefaction-triggered ground movement potential,
and that describes how the potential for liquefaction-triggered ground movement
will be mitigated at each site.

Fault studies
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB,
at least 3 months prior to commencing
construction
, the results of fault-mapping studies that were ongoing during or
undertaken after the OH-001-2014 proceeding, for use in the detailed design of
the Project. This filing must include conclusions regarding possible seismic activity
during the Holocene epoch for Sumas Fault, Vedder Mountain Fault, Fraser River-
Straight Creek Fault and Rocky Mountain Trench, and other possible hidden faults,
as well as the potential for compounding risks due to the proximity of the Vedder
Mountain and Sumas Faults.

Strain-based design
Trans Mountain must file with the NEB,
at least 3 months prior to commencing
construction
, the following information related to strain-based design, where it
is applied:
a) the location and rationale for selecting strain-based design in each location;
b) a report summarizing the adequacy of the strain-based design for various
loading scenarios during pipeline construction and operation for each location
provided in a); and
c) a list of standards and Project-specific specifications, including testing
procedures, used in the strain-based design.
