An explosion Tuesday knocked out a 91-centimetre line and another pipeline is supplying natural gas on a reduced basis.
Enbridge says it has completed soil sampling and preliminary field observations in the area of the blast and found no traces of hydrocarbons in the soil.
It also says field observations show that animals and plants are still active and viable around the explosion site.
Enbridge says it expects the site to recovery quickly.
