- APPENDIX 2 SUMMARY OF COMMITMENTS AND CONDITIONS The Board notes that during its public consultation program and at the hearing, Burlington committed to undertake certain activities in connection with its operations that are not strictly required by the EUB’s regulations or guidelines. These undertakings are described as commitments and are summarized below. It is the Board’s view that when a company makes commitments of this nature, it has satisfied itself that these activities will benefit both the project and the public, and the Board takes these commitments into account when arriving at its decision. The Board expects the applicant, having made the commitments, to fully carry out the undertaking or advise the EUB if, for whatever reasons, it cannot fulfill a commitment. The EUB would then assess whether the circumstances regarding the failed commitment warrant a review of the original approval. The Board also notes that the affected parties also have the right to request a review of the original approval if commitments made by the applicant remain unfulfilled. The Board recognizes the Olynyks’ request to make these approvals conditional on the commitments that were made during the course of the hearing and upon Burlington providing reasonable relocation compensation for the period of their relocation. Conditions generally are requirements in addition to or otherwise expanding upon existing regulations and guidelines. The Board would like to state that matters related to compensation are outside the jurisdiction of the EUB. As such, the Board is satisfied that there is no need to condition these approvals.
