Province to Have Prince Rupert Airshed Studied
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.
