Fraser River Bank Protection for Terasen Gas Pipeline, Prince George, BC

EDI was retained, on behalf of Terasen Gas Inc., to provide environmental services for a bank stabilization project on the Fraser River, near the northeastern boundary of the City of Prince George. The rate of bank erosion at this point on the Fraser River was threatening a pipeline right-of-way (ROW) containing two natural gas pipelines owned and operated by Terasen. EDI prepared an Environmental Management and Fish Compensation Plan to identify potential environmental impacts of the proposed stabilization works, measures to mitigate these anticipated impacts, and fish habitat compensation measures required to offset the fish habitat physically altered by the works. EDI also provided environmental monitoring services for the construction phase of this stabilization project.

Aquatic and Environmental Assessment of Terasen Gas Pipeline Crossing at Chicouyenily Creek, MacKenzie, BC

EDI carried out an aquatic and environmental assessment, and prepared a Proponent Application Plan for the upgrade of the Terasen Gas Pipeline crossing on Chicouyenily Creek, a waterway approximately 5 km south of MacKenzie, BC. The assessment identified potential environmental constraints of various design and construction options, based on fisheries and aquatic habitat values found at the site. This information was provided to assist Terasen Gas in determining a preferred remediation method. EDI also provided Environmental Monitoring during the construction phase of the project.

Environmental Mitigation for the Upgrade of the Shelly Road

EDI completed a rehabilitation and habitat compensation plan for the stream channel at a crossing of the Shelly Road in conjunction with work by Duke Energy to remove several hazardous curves from the road leading to pipeline access. EDI also provided environmental monitors during the construction period.

Pipeline Relocation on Fraser River Tributary, Prince George, BC

EDI was retained by Duke Energy to provide assistance with the relocation of a section of pipeline north of Prince George, BC. EDI's role was to mitigate the loss of fish habitat that was impacted by this work and liaise with Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff to ensure that this project met federal standards.

Stream Crossing Assessments on the Prophet River and Tributaries, northeastern BC

EDI was retained by Encana Oil and Gas Corporation Ltd. (formerly Alberta Energy Corporation) to conduct fish habitat assessments at several temporary crossings proposed on the Prophet River and tributaries. A detailed report outlining key fish habitat and sensitive areas was prepared.
