The proposed 215 km pipeline would be located 25 km northwest of Wonowon, B.C., connecting to a site in the Gordondale area of Alberta, just east of the B.C. and Alberta border.
Two parallel, 215-kilometre long natural gas liquids pipelines from B.C. to Alberta proposed by NorthRiver Midstream have been recommended for approval by the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator.
Authorization for construction and operation of the connector project should be subject to 49 conditions, recommended the commission in its October 18 report. The proposed project would be located 25 km northwest of Wonowon, B.C., connecting to a site in the Gordondale area of Alberta, approximately 19 km east of the B.C. and Alberta border. The project is intended to meet needs for growth volumes of natural gas liquid and condensate from the Montney region in northeast B.C.
As of part of its application, NorthRiver acknowledged there would be adverse cumulative effects in the project area and committed to implementing measures to offset those effects.
