Wednesday, December 3, 2014 @ 3:54 AM

Prince Rupert, B.C. – With LNG projects  proposed and increased industrial development  expected in Prince Rupert,  the Province has issued a request for proposals to study the airshed in the coastal  community.

The  half million dollar study  will  be a useful tool when it comes time to make decisions about industrial development  as it will  review and analyze  the total effects of existing and proposed  industrial  air emissions.

The projects proposed  for the area include:

* Seven proposed LNG terminals,
* A proposed oil refinery,
* Existing and proposed Prince Rupert Port Authority development,
* Gas turbine powered electrical generation facilities and
* Related rail and marine transportation.

The study will examine  how the emissions from these projects will  impact surface water, soil, vegetation and human health.

The RFP closes January 2nd.  The successful proponent will  have to have the  final report to the Government  by May 15th.

Seems like pie in the sky to me, however someone will make a pile of dough doing the air shed study.
