Gas Main Installation for Heart Lake First Nation - ATCO Pipeline Extension
Official title: Heart Lake First Nation - ATCO Gas Main Installation
ATCO wants to install 2.4 km of gas pipeline along a road in Heart Lake First Nation territory. The project would connect 5 new customers to the existing gas network using horizontal drilling to minimize surface disruption.
Why This Matters
Live in Heart Lake First Nation? This project would bring natural gas service to 5 more homes or buildings in your community. The drilling method means less disruption to the road during construction.
What Could Change
If approved, ATCO would install a 2.4 km gas main and connect 5 new service lines. Construction would use horizontal directional drilling, avoiding open trenches along the roadway.
Key Issues
- Should the gas main extension be approved for Heart Lake First Nation?
- Are there concerns about the horizontal drilling method or route along the road?
