VICTORIA — The Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) has fined Coastal GasLink $346,000 for non-compliance with requirements of its environmental assessment certificate.
The province says:
“one penalty of $340,000 concerned deficiencies with erosion and sediment control measures identified by compliance and enforcement officers during four multi-day inspections along the pipeline construction route in April and May 2022. An additional penalty of $6,000 was issued for providing false and misleading information in October 2022 related to maintenance inspection records.”
The EAO says that “the new fines follow three previous penalties of $213,600 (January 2023), $170,100 (May 2022) and $72,500 (February 2022) for failing to adequately control erosion and sediment.”
