1-1

1 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT OVERVIEW Pacific NorthWest LNG Limited Partnership (PNW LNG) proposes to construct and operate the Pacific NorthWest LNG Project (the Project), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on Lelu Island, within the District of Port Edward, British Columbia (BC) (see Figure 1-1). The Project will be located primarily on federal lands and waters under the jurisdiction of the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA). The Project will convert natural gas into LNG for export to Pacific Rim markets in Asia.

At full build-out (on completion of Phase 2, with three production trains), the facility will receive approximately 3.2 billion standard cubic feet per day (Bcfd), or 9.1 x 107 cubic metres (m3) per day, of pipeline grade natural gas, and produce up to 19.2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG.

The natural gas will be transported to the LNG facility by a new pipeline from northeast BC. The pipeline is the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project, which is being proposed by a third party (TransCanada Pipelines Ltd.) and will be assessed under a separate regulatory process.

1.1 Purpose of the EIS/Application This Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Assessment Certificate Application (EIS/Application) is prepared to provide the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEA Agency) with the information necessary to prepare an Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) in accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012), and to provide the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) with the information necessary to issue an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) under the BC Environmental Assessment Act (BCEAA).

1.3 Purpose of the Project The purpose of the Project is to convert natural gas originating from Progress Energy Canada Ltd. reserves into LNG for export to Pacific Rim markets in Asia. At full build-out, the facility will produce up to 19.2 MTPA of LNG. The Project does not include pipeline transportation of the gas from the reserves, which will be provided by the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project.

LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to approximately -162ºC, where it becomes a liquid and can be stored at atmospheric pressure. In this liquid form, LNG is reduced to approximately 0.17% (1/600th) of its gaseous volume and can be transported in specially designed ships (i.e., LNG carriers). Once delivered to markets, the LNG is returned to its gaseous state and sent through pipelines for residential, commercial and industrial uses. The use of LNG in Asian countries reduces reliance on other non-renewable energy sources such as coal and nuclear fuels, in some markets.

Supply contracts for LNG are typically negotiated on a long term basis. Current demand from Pacific Rim markets—particularly Japan—have created a window of opportunity for supply contracts that can only be met by new facilities; the schedule proposed for this Project is designed specifically to take advantage of this window of opportunity. The Project aligns with the Government of BC’s support for development of a provincial LNG export industry, as noted in the February 18, 2014 budget announcement (Government of BC 2014).

1.4 Project Location The geographic setting for the LNG facility is within the boundaries of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. The facility will be constructed on Lelu Island and an adjacent water lot in BC (Figure 1-2) on federal land within the boundaries of the PRPA, within the District of Port Edward, and within the asserted traditional territories of a number of Aboriginal groups. Lelu Island’s size is approximately 192 ha, approximately 2 km from the town centre of Port Edward, and 15 km south of City of Prince Rupert. The project development area (PDA) is approximately 261 ha: approximately 160 ha on Lelu Island and 100 ha of marine infrastructure. The project components on the mainland are limited to infrastructure connecting the bridge and road from Lelu Island to the mainland, with a disturbance area of less than 1 ha (see Figure 1-3). Lelu Island and its surrounding waters are under the jurisdiction of the PRPA, a Canadian Port Authority under the Canada Marine Act and its regulations. The coordinates of the center of the facility are:

Degrees–minutes–seconds—latitude 54°11'58.02"N and longitude 130°17'19.81"W

Decimal degrees—latitude 54.199451 and longitude 130.288836°

Universal transverse mercator (UTM)—415924 E/6006480 N (Zone 9).

The legal description of the principal land and water lots to be used for the Project are:

Within PRPA:

District Lot Range 5, Coast District

Unsurveyed water lot “E”

Two additional unsurveyed water lots at the location of the material offload facility (MOF) and bridge.

On the mainland:

An unspecified private parcel.

Maps provided at the end of this section include the following information:

The Project is located on federal lands within the boundary of the PRPA, as identified in the PRPA Letters Patent (Figure 1-2).

Lelu Island is within the Skeena River estuary, abutting Flora Bank. Flora Bank is known to be important habitat for juvenile salmon. Most of the island’s foreshore areas are classified in PRPA’s Land Use Management Plan (LUMP) as having moderate habitat value (AECOM 2011).

The Project is within the District of Port Edward and within 2 km of the main settlement area (Figure 1-3). The closest Indian Reserve, a reserve of the Metlakatla First Nation, is approximately 10 km northwest of Lelu Island (Figure 1-2). The Project is approximately 15 km south of the City of Prince Rupert (Figure 1-4).

There are a number of linear and other transportation components in the area. These include the Prince Rupert Airport on Digby Island, the Port of Prince Rupert, the CN railway, electrical power transmission lines, highways, and roads (Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3).

Lelu Island is adjacent to Porpoise Harbour and Porpoise Channel and within Chatham Sound (Figure 1-3).

The Project will be located within the claimed traditional territory of five First Nations who assert Aboriginal rights in the Prince Rupert Harbour area: Metlakatla First Nation; Lax Kw’alaams First Nation; Gitxaala Nation; Kitselas First Nation; and Kitsumkalum First Nation The location of their reserves is shown on Figure 1-5.

The island is recognized by the First Nations as a potential archaeological site (Figure 1-4) containing a number of culturally modified trees (AECOM 2011).

Known archaeological sites, existing and approved industrial facilities, and residential areas near the project location (Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4).

There is an abandoned cabin on Lelu Island (Figure 1-2), and several permanent residences on the mainland within 1 km of the project site (Figure 1-3).

The Project is located adjacent to commercial and recreational fishing areas (Figure 1-4).

There are two unnamed mapped watercourses on Lelu Island (Figure 1-4).

There are no Wildlife Areas or Migratory Bird Sanctuaries near the Project.

The North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site is located approximately 6 km southeast the Project (Figure 1-3). The Prince Rupert heritage railway station, Metlakatla Pass National Historic Site, and the petitioned heritage lighthouses at Triple Island and Lucy Island are also near the Project (see Figure 1-2). There are no national parks near the Project.

1.5 Participants in the Environmental Assessment In addition to guidance provided by the CEA Agency and BC EAO, the EIS/Application has been developed with input from the Working Group with membership described in Section 1.1.




1-7

1.6 Regulatory Framework and the Role of Government The EIS/Application will be reviewed with a coordinated approach under both CEAA 2012 and BCEAA. As noted in the section 11 Order issued by the BC EAO on September 17, 2013, because the Project will be primarily located on federal lands, the CEA Agency is the lead agency for the environmental assessment.

Applicable permits and regulatory approvals likely to be required for the Project are provided in Section 2.8.

1.6.1 Federal Framework

1.6.1.1 Federal Environmental Assessment

The Project requires an environmental assessment under CEAA 2012. This was confirmed by the Notice of Environmental Assessment Determination posted by the CEA Agency on April 5, 2013. The Project is a designated project pursuant to the Regulations Designating Physical Activities under CEAA 2012, and it meets the criteria listed under subsections 2(a) and 14(d) under the Schedule of Physical Activities included in the Regulations Designating Physical Activities (SOR/2012-147) and amended in the Regulations Amending the Regulations Designating Physical Activities (2013), which state:

2(a) The construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment of a new fossil fuel-fired electrical generating facility with a production capacity of 200 MW or more

14(d) The construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment of a new facility for the liquefaction, storage or regasification of liquefied natural gas, with a liquefied natural gas processing capacity of 3,000 t/day or more or a liquefied natural gas storage capacity of 55,000 t or more.

The Project exceeds the threshold listed in subsection 2(a) as it would include fossil fuel fired electrical and/or mechanical power generation options that would exceed the 200 MW threshold. The Project also exceeds the threshold listed in subsection 14(d). The Project would include the construction of a natural gas liquefaction facility with, at full build-out, a processing capacity of 52,603 t/d and a combined LNG storage capacity of approximately 248,000 t (based on storage volume of 540,000 m3, and LNG density of approximately 0.46 kg/L) for all three tanks.

Federal information requirements for the Project are as stated in the final EIS Guidelines issued by the CEA Agency on October 30, 2013. According to the requirement of section 5(1) of CEAA, the following effects will be assessed:

(a) a change that may be caused to the following components of the environment that are within the legislative authority of Parliament:

(i) fish as defined in section 2 of the Fisheries Act and fish habitat as defined in subsection 34(1) of that Act,

(ii) aquatic species as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Species at Risk Act,

(iii) migratory birds as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994, and

1-8

(iv) any other component of the environment that is set out in Schedule 2.

(b) a change that may be caused to the environment that would occur

(i) on federal lands,

(ii) in a province other than the one in which the act or thing is done or where the physical activity, the designated project or the project is being carried out, or

(iii) outside Canada; and

(c) with respect to aboriginal peoples, an effect occurring in Canada of any change that may be caused to the environment on

(i) health and socio-economic conditions,

(ii) physical and cultural heritage,

(iii) the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, or

(iv) any structure, site or thing that is of historical, archaeological, paleontological or architectural significance.

The Project will not be assessed under the National Energy Board Act, the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act, or the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.

Technical Review Process of Marine Terminal Systems and Transshipment Sites (TERMPOL)

PNW LNG has volunteered to undergo the TERMPOL review process, and is currently working with TC and the PRPA to facilitate this review of marine safety and pollution prevention measures. TERMPOL is review process that evaluates the safety of oil tanker and gas carrier movements around Canadian ports.

The TERMPOL review process will focus on the route through Canadian waters (to its berth) of LNG carriers. The review considers loading of the LNG carriers and specialized equipment and procedures involved in loading. The purpose of the review is to demonstrate the robustness of PNW LNG’s safety management systems, arrange audits, identify major accident hazards, and evaluate and mitigate risks to an acceptable level.

1.6.2 Provincial Framework

The Project meets the following threshold established for “reviewable projects” pursuant to Part 4 of the Reviewable Projects Regulation under BCEAA as follows:

The Project’s LNG storage capacity would, in total, be approximately 248,000 t (based on storage volume of 540,000 m3, and LNG density of approximately 0.46 kg/L). This volume of LNG contains approximately 12 PJ of potential energy. This exceeds the 3 PJ potential energy threshold listed in Table 8 (Petroleum and Natural Gas Projects) for new energy storage facilities.

The BC EAO issued an Order under section 10 of BCEAA for the Project on July 16, 2013, followed by an Order under section 11 of BCEAA on September 17, 2013. The section 11 order describes the scope of the Project and the scope of the assessment under BCEAA.




1-9

Information on the Project’s potential effects that are addressed as part of an environmental assessment under BCEAA, include environmental effects, economic effects, social effects, heritage effects, and health effects.

Potential effects have been assessed on the project components and activities outlined in Schedule A of the section 11 Order and in accordance with the direction provided by the Application Information Requirements. These components and activities are described in detail in the Project Description (see Sections 2.2 and 2.3). The potential effects on valued components are discussed in detail in Sections 6 to 21.

1.6.3 Local and Regional Framework

1.6.3.1 Local Management and Community Plans

Lelu Island is currently undeveloped and was identified by PRPA in their 2020 Land Use Management Plan (LUMP) for potential development as a bulk terminal or shipyard, for marine activity, or for recreational use (AECOM 2011). The port in general is zoned for development of industrial production and marine export.

The District of Port Edward Official Community Plan (OCP) (District of Port Edward 2013) identifies the Lelu Island shoreline as an environmentally sensitive area, but recognizes that PRPA has planning jurisdiction for the island. The OCP identifies nearby Stapledon Island and the mainland area immediately adjacent to Lelu and Stapledon islands as areas for potential industrial development (District of Port Edward 2013).

1.6.3.2 First Nations’ Land Use Plans

The Kitselas Land Use Plan (Kitselas First Nation 2012) applies to eight land parcels along a 100 km stretch of the Skeena River. The closest parcel of these parcels to the Project (known as Queensway IR 6) is over 100 km east-northeast.

Metlakatla First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, and Kitselas First Nation have entered into Strategic Land Use Plan Agreements (SLUPAs) with the Province of BC pursuant to the 2006 Central Coast and North Coast Land Use Decision, however, land use plans for Metlakatla First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, and Kitsumkalum First Nation are not available (as of January 2014).

1.6.3.3 Regional Management Plans

The 2006 Central Coast and North Coast Land Use Decision (Province of BC) committed to ecosystem based management (EBM) of the north coast of BC, including the areas surrounding the Project which are part of the north coast EBM operating zone. Implementation of EBM has included development of Strategic Land Use Planning Agreements (SLUPA) with Metlakatla First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Kitselas First Nation, and Kitsumkalum First Nation, as well as other First Nations.

North and South Rachael islands are identified as BMTA 135 (ILMB 2009), established by Order in Council 002, on 9 January 2009 (Province of BC 2009). The Rachael islands and Kinahan islands are identified as biodiversity areas, while the Lucy islands and Stephens Island Group are identified as pending conservancies (ILMB 2008).

1.6.4 Treaties and Self-Government

No final treaties currently exist with Metlakatla First Nation, Lax Kw’alaams First Nation, Gitxaala Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Kitselas First Nation, or Gitga'at First Nation. Metlakatla First Nation signed a Reconciliation Protocol with the provincial government in 2009. Metlakatla First Nation, Kitsumkalum First Nation, Kitselas First Nation and Gitga’at First Nation also belong to the Tsimshian First Nations Treaty Society, which is currently in Stage 4 (the negotiation of an agreement-in-principle stage) of the BC Treaty Commission process. On April 11, 2013, Kitsumkalum First Nation voted to approve an Agreement in Principle. On February 21, 2013, Kitselas First Nation also voted to approve an Agreement in Principle. Additional information is provided in Section 27.1.2.
