Workers to be housed in floatel in Howe Sound following provincial order.
Woodfibre LNG has withdrawn from the Temporary Use Permit process with the District of Squamish for its floatel worker accommodations.
The TUP has been a bone of contention between council and the company, with four meetings on it and a public hearing in the last three months.At a further meeting, they added additional questions for WLNG to answer, and it was at the June 18 meeting that those questions would be discussed. The order from the EAO came from its compliance and enforcement branch on June 17. It stated that an investigation had shown that WLNG workers were being housed out of compliance with the WLNG Environmental Assessment Certificate , which said that all non-local workers associated with the Woodfibre project must be housed on the floatel, moored offshore of the Woodfibre location.
"At this point in time our position is that this order does not explicitly override the District of Squamish's authority. “Woodfibre LNG withdrew the temporary use permit application in recognition that the District’s issuance timeframes and process for the TUP were inconsistent with the order received from the BC Environmental Assessment Office and that the proposed TUP conditions were no longer applicable,” he said in a statement to The Squamish Chief.
