Pacific Trail Pipelines received approval from the federal government on Monday to develop the Kitimat to Summit Lake Pipeline Looping Project.
The proposed 463 km natural gas pipeline would run from Summit Lake approximately 33 km north of Prince George to Kitimat LNG’s export terminal.
Pacific Trail Pipelines received provincial approval for the project last year, and is slated to begin construction of the pipeline in winter of 2010.
“This is a very big project for our area,” Prince George North MLA Pat Bell said. “It’s literally billions of dollars in investment. The project itself is close to $1 billion.”
The 36-inch pipe would transport up to a billion cubic feet of natural gas to Kitimat, to be liquified for export by specialized liquid natural gas tanker ships.
