B.C. grants environmental certificate for LNG jetty project in Tilbury

The B.C. government today announced that an environmental assessment certificate has been issued for the Tilbury Marine Jetty Project on Tilbury Island in Delta.

The provincial news release notes that the assessment involved extensive consultation with technical experts, federal and local authorities, First Nations and Indigenous groups, as well as the public, adding that the ministers concluded that provincial requirements would avoid or minimize the potential negative impacts of the project in areas of provincial interest.

Although the BC EAO concluded that the residual effects from the project alone would not be significant, there would be cumulative impacts on Indigenous groups. Following Wednesday’s announcement on the jetty project, it didn’t take long for opponents to voice concern including the Wilderness Committee, noting, among other concerns, it was opposed by the cities of Richmond, Burnaby, Port Moody, New Westminster and Vancouver in part because it violates Metro Vancouver’s air quality goals.
