NEB Confirms Coastal GasLink Pipeline Outside Federal Jurisdiction
NATURAL GAS
The National Energy Board has determined that the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which runs entirely within British Columbia, is not subject to federal regulation, as it does not integrate functionally with the federally regulated NGTL System. This ruling, issued on July 26, 2019, follows the project's provincial environmental assessment and permits granted in 2014 and 2015, respectively. An appeal against the NEB's decision may be filed by August 25, 2019.
