Foothills Zone 8 West Path Delivery 2023

Foothills Pipe Lines (South B.C.) Ltd, proposes to construct a single natural gas pipeline (1219 mm outside diameter pipe (OD) Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) 48) loop that will loop the existing British Columbia Mainline and the Foothills South B.C. Pipeline (Elko Section), and an expansion of the Kingsgate Border Meter Station (Kingsgate Border MS). 

Construction of the project is scheduled to occur from July 2022 through to 2023, with an in-service date of November 2023. The south end of the Elko section is located approximately 14 km east of the community of Elko, British Columbia and the northern end is located approximately 18 km east of the community of Fernie, British Columbia. The existing Kingsgate Border Meter Station is located approximately 250 m west of Highway 95 adjacent to the Canada/US border.

A portion of the Elko Section of the proposed project crosses federal crown freehold lands, specifically the Dominion Coal Block. The Federal crown holds a fee simple interest in these lands which are managed by Natural Resources Canada. The remainder of the route crosses private land and provincial crown land.

In accordance with section 82 of the Impact Assessment Act, the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and Natural Resources Canada must each, individually, determine whether the portion of the project located on federal lands is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Further information regarding the project can be found on the Canada Energy Regulator's website, under Filing ID C11799.
