Is this an unplanned event with less than 21 working days' notice given?

Yes

Please explain why 21 working days' notice cannot be given for this activity

Based on recent assessment of In-Line Inspection (ILI) results, NGTL confirmed an additional dig is required on the NPS 30 Peace River Mainline Loop (Pipeline). Access to this location is limited and must be done during frozen conditions, prior to spring break-up, in order to minimize environmental impacts, and in order to safely access the site. Accordingly, NGTL requests a relaxation of the 21 working days’ notice in order to ensure the activity can be conducted during frozen conditions.
