Odd Anderson would be talking about starting construction in September when the NEB just granted them an extension to July 27 for responding to an NEB information request regarding a pre-construction condition that requires filings to be complete four months prior to construction. (NEB condition 44). July 27 + 4 months is November 27 at best.

Also none of the route has been approved yet. There are public hearings to come on the detailed route plus 7 areas Kinder Morgan themselves have filed applications for route changes that are yet to be dealt with. 

Perhaps it depends on what one defines as beginning construction. Does having someone in a suit go to one of their tank farms and poke a golden shovel in the ground qualify as "begin construction"?
