B.C. signs compliance agreement with Coastal GasLink to protect waterways along pipeline
Coastal GasLink and the province have signed an agreement to improve protection of waterways along the company’s pipeline route in northwest B.C.
According to the compliance agreement between Environmental Assessment Office and the energy giant, CGL is required to follow more proactive measures to control erosion and sedimentation for all new construction along the pipeline route. The agreement applies to approximately 100 kilometres of the pipeline where ground has yet to be broken. Existing requirements under the environmental assessment certificate for erosion and sediment control continue to apply to all activity along the pipeline route.
Under the agreement, CGL will be required to enhance staff training and provide stronger and more qualified leadership on site to oversee construction activities. They must also develop comprehensive, detailed erosion and sediment management plans for all new construction, prioritizing erosion prevention over sediment control.
