I am writing regarding Associate Deputy Minister Kevin Jardine’s request for a substituted BC Environmental Assessment (“EA”) process for the Tilbury Phase 2 LNG Expansion Project (the “Project”) proposed by Fortis BC (the “Proponent”). Part 1: Overview of TFN’s position TFN’s position is that it is acceptable for a substituted EA process to be used for the Project on the understanding that Canada will ensure the following: 1. The new provincial assessment process will apply to the Project and the standards of consultation and assessment of Project impacts will in no way be lower than current federal standards; 2. Canada will ensure that the methodology for assessing Project impacts to Treaty rights and culture in the assessment aligns with federal guidance and Tsawwassen- specific perspectives and values; 3. Canada will ensure that impacts to Treaty rights and TFN culture are not given a less rigorous assessment and that impacts to rights and culture are not viewed as subordinate to biophysical impacts; Administration Office: 1926 ...

  • July 16, 2020 Canadian Impact Assessment Registry Re: Tilbury LNG proposal Reference Number 80496 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing on behalf of the Raincoast Conservation Foundation to highlight the significant concerns that surround the proposed expansion of the Tilbury LNG facility. Two of these concerns include further habitat alterations in the Lower Fraser River and estuary, and the implications from increased shipping on Southern Resident killer whales. As Raincoast has said for some time, these large industrial expansions must stop being assessed as “one-offs” and become subject to federal and provincial cumulative effects assessments that consider their consistency with broader sustainability goals and the ecological limits these proposals ignore. It is contradictory for the federal government to invest millions of dollars to recover Fraser River habitat for threatened and endangered salmonids while on the other hand continue to approve projects that erode and destroy the very same habitat. At this stage, both the NEB panel assessing Trans Mountain and the CEAA panel assessing Roberts Bank Terminal Two, have identified that increased shipping through the critical habitat of Southern Resident killer whales will have significant and cumulative adverse effects on the recovery of these whales. Population viability analysis examines the likelihood of extinction for endangered wildlife. Five years ago, the chance that the 80 Southern Resident killer whales alive in 2015 would be functionally extinct in 100 years was 9%. Since 2015, the risk of extinction has increased. In 2020, the chance the 72 whales alive now will be functionally extinct within a century is 59%. The abundance ...

The Delta Chamber of Commerce, which represents member businesses across the service, retail, industrial, fishing and farming sectors, acknowledges the vital roles that our community has in nurturing Canada’s trade capability and competitiveness. As home to Canada’s largest container terminal, we understand the importance of meeting current customer needs for cost-effective, low carbon alternative fuels for transportation. We also appreciate the importance of Canada’s role in the global economy, in leading the transition away from high carbon-emission fuels to meet new global shipping emissions regulations. FortisBC’s Tilbury Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) plant has been safely operating in the Tilbury Industrial Park of Delta since it was first constructed in 1971 and has been producing LNG for marine customers such as BC Ferries and Seaspan Ferries and storing LNG to meet the energy needs of FortisBC customers here in BC for over a decade. We know from FortisBC’s history of engaging with our community, and from their work in Phase 1, that this project provided direct economic and employment benefits for the people of Delta and neighbouring communities. Since the beginning of construction and through Phase 1, FortisBC has demonstrated a notable commitment to the engagement of local ...

  • The Tilbury Project should be cancelled on two grounds: 1. SIGTTO, Society of Gas Tanker and Terminal Operators, an industry association, advises against tanker traffic and facility siting within 3500m of busy waterways and populated areas, for safety concerns. The Tilbury project and shipping routes don't meet that standard and are directly across the river from a large jet fuel tank farm. 2. COVID-19 has been terrible of course but the cessation of much of human activities has been positive for the earth. As Canada plans for a new normal, that should include making the environment a priority. We need a green and clean economy.

We represent a network of Indigenous, settlers and newcomers in Canada working with people of faith or conscience all over the world for ecological justice and human rights. This project increases risks from fracking, undermines Canada’s progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, threatens the health and safety of communities, and undermines the rights of local First Nations. First, KAIROS is deeply concerned about the upstream impacts of this project associated with fracking. It is estimated that 2,800 new fracking wells are needed for this project. Fracking raises significant social and ecological justice concerns related to the rights of Indigenous peoples, public health, air and water contamination, groundwater depletion, and the triggering of seismic activity. These new wells will use an intense amount of freshwater. The water that is contaminated in the process will end up underground or in tailings ponds and removed from the local water cycle, threatening local drinking water, habitats, and fishing grounds. Fracking also increases the risk of methane leakage. A recent study of BC’s active and abandoned gas wells revealed that “almost 11 percent of all oil and gas wells had a reported leak, together releasing 14,000 cubic metres of methane per day.i Methane is a greenhouse gas that is roughly 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide ...

  • LNG is not the harmless alternative its proponents claim it to be.  It is produced by Fracking, a process that uses vast amounts of water and toxic chemicals fracturing the earth.  In addition to causing seismic activity in areas not otherwise prone to earthquakes, fracking has poisoned drinking water in communities that depend on ground water for personal and agricultural use. LNG is classified as a hazardous substance.  FortisBc should not be expanding potential contamination of our province.

  • The industry association SIGTTO advises a 3500m buffer zone around tankers and terminals for safety reasons. The Tilbury project and shipping routes don't meet that standard and are directly across the river from a large jet fuel tank farm.  This is an incredibly dangerous project that DOES NOT have public support and was opposed by Richmond's council on May 8, 2020.

  • Hello: I am writing to support the Tilbury LNG expansion project for the following reasons: The project will produce clean-burning LNG that will replace Bunker C and MGO as ship fuels, thereby greatly reducing NOx, SOx and particulate emissions.  The project will be fully electrified (E-LNG), so it will be a very clean LNG facility. The project supports the BC natural gas industry, which from a GHG emission perspective is 5 to 8 times cleaner than the US industry on a life-cycle carbon analysis. The project will create hundreds of jobs during construction.   During operation, it will create ~100 direct jobs and 300 indirect opportunities for people in the lower mainland. LNG jobs are well-paying, full-time family wage positions, which is needed to rebuild the economy. The project will create spin off opportunities for businesses across BC The project will support fuel switching from coal to LNG, which represents a 50% decrease in GHG emissions. Let's not delay this project, it needs to be started as soon as possible. Thank you

  • Hello, The  interpretation of the Public Safety Canada, Pacific Regional Office is that we do not have a direct role in the subject areas and assessment for the Tilbury Phase 2 Expansion. The assessment is expected to to be focused at the regulatory and legislative levels, and presumably any emergency preparedness or mitigative activities during project development would be prescribed by regulations to be commented on by the specific regulatory provincial and federal departments. A role that Public Safety could have, should there be a major emergency related to the site or project in the future, would be to facilitate federal and federal/provincial coordination during emergency response. Note that this would be for a major incident exceeding the routine response mechanisms for involved departments. I have attached the link to the Federal Emergency Response Plan (FERP) which describes this role. https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs/pblctns/mrgnc-rspns-pln/index-en.aspx While we do have an interest in disaster risk reduction, which can include any measures to reduce the likelihood of an emergency and environmental or community impacts, again I suspect this is out of scope as it comes from a broader policy lens, and likely specific requirements to prevent or mitigate incidents related to this project will be prescribed by sector-specific regulations. Please advise if you require anything further at this time. Thank you, Andrew J. Hannan Regional Director Public Safety Canada, Pacific Region
