TransCanada Corporation said that the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office has issued an environmental assessment certificate for the Coastal GasLink pipeline project.
The proposed project involves the construction and operation of an approximately 670-kilometre (415-mile), 1,219-mm (48-inch) diameter natural gas pipeline from the Groundbirch area near Dawson Creek, B.C. to the proposed LNG Canada liquefied natural gas export facility near Kitimat, B.C.
The initial build will include up to three meter stations and one compressor station. The initial capacity of the pipeline will allow the shipment of approximately 2-3 billion cubic feet/day of natural gas, with an expansion capability to approximately 5 bcf/d through the addition of up to seven compressor stations.
