UARB Approves LNG Pipeline Across the Cabot Strait

From CBC Nova Scotia:


A pipeline that will connect with a recently approved liquefied natural gas facility in Cape Breton has been approved.

Bear Paw Pipeline Corporation announced Wednesday the pipeline was approved by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board.

The 62.5-kilometre pipeline will run between Goldboro, N.S., to the Bear Head LNG Corporation's export facility still to be constructed in Point Tupper, Richmond County.

The pipeline would also connect with the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline mainline, which runs from Goldboro to Massachusetts.

From Bear Paw:

The Bear Paw Pipeline Project will involve permanent installation of a 42-inch outside diameter welded pipe starting in or near the vicinity of the Goldboro industrial area. A compressor station will be built near the southern end of the pipeline.  The pipeline will cross dozens of watercourses including the Strait of Canso.

Project activities will include environmental studies, permits and approvals followed by final engineering.  The construction phase will include site preparation, pipeline installation, watercourse crossings and restoration of the disturbed area in the pipeline right-of-way.

 
Work is underway to determine the final route of the pipeline project.  The pipeline route study corridor is located in a mostly rural area of Nova Scotia and covers an area of approximately 3,112 hectares (7,690 acres), approximately 50% of which is provincial crown land.  Small clusters of residential dwellings are located in the vicinity of the corridor in Guysborough County.  The pipeline corridor on the Cape Breton Island side of the Strait of Canso is approximately 2.5 km (1.5 miles) in length and is entirely in an area designated for port and heavy industrial development as part of the Point Tupper Industrial Park.
