    Pipeline map: Have there been any incidents near you?
    From small to large-scale spills to fires, explosions and worker deaths
    By Michael Pereira, CBC News

    Ever wonder whether your community contains any buried pipelines? Or if any issues have arisen with them over the years?

    Through an access-to-information request, CBC News obtained a data set of every pipeline safety incident reported to the federal regulator in the past 12 years.

    The National Energy Board oversees cross-border pipelines. The data doesn’t include smaller pipelines within provincial boundaries.

    The documents reveal details about more than 1,000 incidents that have happened across the country since 2000 until late 2012 and suggest the rate of overall incidents has doubled in the past decade.

    An incident can include anything from a fire or explosion to a spill, leak or a worker fatally or seriously injured.

    Explore the map below to see incidents near your city or filter using various categories, such as the type of event, substance spilled or company name. Click on each incident to read a full description.

    You can help CBC add to the website by sending us your stories related to an incident or tell us about other ones missed by the database.

    We are also looking for people to review summaries of the incidents to help us identify discrepancies between the summaries and the original NEB documents. See the Can You Help? button on each incident summary or email us.

    Pipelines regulated by the federal government — which include some of the longest lines in the country — have experienced a swell in the number of safety-related incidents over the past decade, documents obtained by CBC News suggest.

    In recent months, a spate of oil and gas spills both from train derailments and pipelines have raised questions about what mode of transport is the safest.
