Kitimat LNG Project Granted Extension

The proponents of the liquefied natural gas terminal to be built near Kitimat now have more time to start up construction.
  

The Environmental Assessment Office has granted an extension to the Kitimat LNG Operating General Partnership's environmental assessment certificate. Under the original certificate, substantial construction had to be underway on the LNG terminal by June 1st of this year.

The Kitimat LNG Operating Partnership must now have substantial construction started on the project prior to June 1ST of 2016.
