City of TerraceBC toughens stance on Enbridge gas pipeline proposal
Terrace city council is holding off on an endorsement requested by pipeline giant Enbridge to extend the approval deadline from the province to build a natural gas pipeline from northeastern B.C. to the north coast.
Enbridge official Jennifer Prochera said the company has been asking for similar letters from other local governments and First Nations that would be sent to the province this summer. “How many [projects] can you effectively be a part of before your staff can’t participate meaningfully?” Cordeiro asked.
Chief administrative officer Kris Boland added that due to lack of resources the city has already turned down an invitation from the environmental assessment office to sit on a committee regarding impacts of a multi-billion-dollar LNG project being proposed by the Nisga’a Lisims Government and its partners.
The largest change that would be included as an amendment in the company’s request would be to build one 48-inch pipeline instead of two as originally planned.
