ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The Project is subject to review under the BC Environmental Assessment Act, 2018 and the review is being led by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). The Project entered the Early Engagement Phase in May 2020 and has an accepted Project Description and Section 13 order.

The EAO hosted a Public Engagement and Comment Period during the Early Engagement Phase and prepared a Summary of Engagement that summarizes public comments, outlines Indigenous nations’ interests in the project area, and identifies key issues and concerns identified by technical advisors based on their review of the Initial Project Description and supplemental information submitted by BGM. The information in this report helps inform the development of a Detailed Project Description. BGM plans to submit a Detailed Project Description in Fall 2020.

The Project is not identified as a reviewable project under the Federal Impact Assessment Act.
