The National Energy Board has placed a specialist in Sarnia to oversee pipeline safety in the area.
Chair Peter Watson met with Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley, St. Clair Township Mayor Steve Arnold, and Lambton County Warden Bev MacDougall on Tuesday.
Watson says Joanne Munro is a former Coast Guard employee and will play a key role for the NEB locally.
