Woodfibre LNG is one step closer to reality after Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Environment Minister Mary Polak issued the project an environmental assessment certificate, the provincial government announced October 26.
The decision about the project, which is located on the site of the former Woodfibre pulp mill seven km southwest of Squamish, comes following a review by the province’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and is subject to several conditions.
“Receiving environmental approval in British Columbia is not only an important milestone for the Woodfibre LNG project, but it means the people of Squamish and the region are one step closer to realizing the opportunities that an industrial project like Woodfibre LNG can bring,” said Woodfibre LNG Ltd. vice-president, corporate affairs Byng Giraud.
