Should a Second Worker Accommodation Vessel Be Allowed at Woodfibre LNG?
Official title: Woodfibre LNG Project Public Notice Public Comments Invited on Proposed Amendments to the Decision Statement
The Woodfibre LNG project near Squamish, BC wants to add a second floating worker accommodation vessel during construction. The government is asking whether the project's approval conditions should be amended to allow this. The new vessel would follow the same rules as the first one already on site.
Why This Matters
Live near Howe Sound? This affects what happens in your backyard. A second floating accommodation vessel means more workers housed on the water during construction. If you're concerned about marine traffic, noise, or environmental impacts in the area, this is your chance to weigh in.
What Could Change
If approved, the project's legally-binding conditions would be amended to allow a second floatel on site. The vessel would follow the same mitigation measures as the first. The core project approval itself cannot be changed through this process.
Key Issues
- Should the Decision Statement be amended to allow a second floating worker accommodation vessel?
- Are the proposed mitigation measures adequate for the additional vessel?
