Ag Land Damage Cited In Halt To Pipeline Work

The National Energy Board has suspended work on Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline replacement project near Cromer, Manitoba.

An inspector earlier this month reported that multiple environmental conditions committed to by Enbridge were not implemented.

The NEB says this has resulted in damage to a "substantial amount of agricultural land" and wetlands. A lack of safe access to farmland and safety hazards around open excavations and trenchlines are also cited in the order.

Enbridge must now complete a detailed assessment of all safety and environmental issues. A revised environmental plan must be submitted by the end of August. The new plan must also include details on how the company will monitor access to ensure clubroot contamination procedures are in place 24 hours a day.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
