WLNG has been waiting on a temporary use permit from the District of Squamish; company says it is preparing to move the floatel to Squamish, as ordered.
The provincial Environmental Assessment Office has issued an order for Woodfibre LNG to relocate all its workers currently housed at "unauthorized locations" to the marine-based work camp by 5 p.m. on Friday, June 21.
Woodfibre LNG has been waiting on a Temporary Use Permit from the District of Squamish to move the floatel, currently moored in Nanaimo, to its worksite location seven kilometres from town on the shores of Howe Sound. Most recently, at its June 4 meeting, council referred the TUP back to muni staff to gather more information.
But the provincial regulator has stepped into the fray ahead of that meeting, noting in its inspection report that as part of WLNG’s Environment Certificate, it had to house any worker who did not reside in the District of Squamish prior to Sept. 20, 2023, on the floatel.
