Caring for our environment. Creating economic opportunity.
Environment & Safety
Environmental Assessment
An environmental and socio-economic assessment (ESA) process assesses the potential effects of the project from biological, natural processes, human health, and socio-economic perspectives, relative to what is there now. Opportunities are then identified to reduce or manage the project's potential effects, and monitoring programs designed to keep an eye on results.
ESA Discussion Guides
In response to requests from stakeholders for more detailed information about the project in an easy to understand fashion, we have developed two discussion guides. One is specific to the marine aspects of the project and the other to the pipeline aspects.
Kitimat Terminal and Marine Transportation
Pipelines and Tank Terminal
These two discussion guides provide a summary of:
- The planning and approval processes for this project
- The Project description, including spill prevention and response
- The ESA to date, by subject
The information in the discussion guides reflects the work completed as of April 2009. Work on the analysis is still underway and an update will include a summary of the preliminary residual effects (effects after mitigation has been taken into account).
What We Need From You
We are looking for your feedback regarding the project. Now is the ideal time to send your feedback as the project is still in the design stage – the easiest time for modifications to happen. The discussion guides will acquaint you with the specifics of the project enabling more substantial input. If there is more information you need, please email us and we will be happy to provide that as well if it is available. Or if you prefer a conversation, call us at 1-888-434-0533 and we’ll arrange a suitable time.
The project will only be as good as the input that goes into it.
