CSA Z663-18 (R2023) ✓ Most Recent

This is the first edition of CSA Z663, Land use planning in the vicinity of pipeline systems. It supersedes and replaces CSA PLUS 663, Land use planning for pipelines: A guideline for local authorities, developers, and pipeline operators published in 2004.

This Standard aims to address the challenges facing land use planning near pipelines in Canada; outlining key elements that when consistently applied will enhance safe and informed development. Users of this Standard are reminded that additional and site-specific requirements might be specified by federal, provincial/territorial, or municipal authorities. While risk-informed decision-making has become one of the methods supporting informed land development, it is not addressed in this Standard; however, users may choose to use risk-informed decision-making practice. The Technical Committee chose not to incorporate risk-informed decision-making given the multitude of other standards that more aptly address those practices. See more
