Inspections Conducted in Early April Result in Three More Non-Compliance Notices for Coastal GasLink

Inspections conducted in early April have resulted in a trio of new non-compliance notices for Coastal GasLink.

Issued by the Environmental Assessment Office, the notices cover multiple points along their pipeline route in the Nechako Plateau.

One comes after inspectors discovered non-hazardous construction waste scattered between roll back logs in an unapproved location.

Another was issued due to dirty, melting, snow being pushed into a ditch which flowed into a waterway, rather than ensuring it was directed away.

A third stems from failures to install wattles and rock-lined features to control erosion and sediment along a number of slopes west of Endako.

In addition to other notices, CGL is currently facing a slew of stop-work orders also related to erosion and sediment control failures.

But, CGL says that they stopped work in those locations pre-emptively, and blame the tough spring melt and terrain for the on-going issues.

They say they have more than 700 workers on-site actively focused on erosion and sediment control measures.
