Environmental and financial woes continue for another Canadian mega-project as TC Energy announces construction costs have ballooned to $14.5 billion for its natural gas pipeline in B.C.
Recently, the company has been accused of failing to control erosion and sediment in the salmon-bearing Clore River, or Lho Kwa. Complaints from about three weeks ago were investigated by the BC Oil and Gas Commission. On Jan. 31, a news release from the David Suzuki Foundation raised the alarm about construction in the Clore River yet again. This time, Wet’suwet’en officials who visited the site by helicopter described washouts that sent debris and sediment floating downstream.Tsebesa saw the construction at Clore River from the helicopter on Jan. 10 and Jan. 29, despite a lifelong fear of helicopters.
Despite the cost increase, TC Energy says it is still aiming to complete construction by the end of 2023 but notes up to $1.2 billion more could be tacked onto the bill if construction drags into 2024.
