The province has issued a $590,000 fine to Coastal Gas Link (CGL) for non-compliance.
This was issued today and deals with their environmental assessment certificate requirements.
The penalties concern deficiencies with erosion and sediment control measures identified by compliance and enforcement officers during inspections along the pipeline construction route in April and May 2023.
In the past, the pipeline company was hit with fines of $340,000 (September 2023), $213,600 (January 2023), $72,500 (February 2022) and $170,100 (May 2022) for failing to adequately control erosion and sediment.
A fifth in September 2023, was issued at $6,000for providing false or misleading information.
According to the province, 59 warnings and 30 orders – including 13 stop-work orders – have also been issued.
The CGL pipeline runs from natural gas facilities west of Dawson Creek to the under-construction LNG Canada liquid natural gas export facility near Kitimat.
