Imperial is GOOD to GO

[glacierman]

Folks, we all know that the decision to construct the MGP is due Dec 31st and Imperial must have 6000 permits in hand to prove its intentions are genuine. I strongly believe that Imperial already had those permits ready to go in 2012 and that was one of the reasons they closed down their Norman Wells and Fort Simpson offices. I found it highly unlikely that a company like Imperial would sit idly by and not be proactive during those long years of environmental review. I found a newsletter in 2008 that clearly indicates that the biggest permit for water crossings is already complete - 3000 pages long with 600 maps. Imperial is GOOD to Go and we'll get the official word next month!!!

Another Permit Wrapped Up

While the environmental Joint Review Panel hearings were proceeding, MGP’s Pipeline Regulatory Manager Jim Hawkins, and his team of regulatory specialists were completing thousands of permit applications for the project. These applications cover a variety of facility and infrastructure requirements for project work; everything from watercourse crossings by pipelines and roads to barge landing sites, work camps and airstrips.

Commenting specifically on the watercourse crossing permit applications, Jim reflects that “this work could be seen as a valuable textbook on watercourse crossings for years.” The Type B Water License application, filed with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, includes 3,000 pages in six volumes and features over 600 maps, with hundreds of preliminary design drawings for the watercourse crossings.

The regulatory team used a combination of knowledge from northern residents who understand the land and from various environmental and scientific

consultants to weigh potential impacts. “This was by far the largest and most complex of all regulatory permits filed,” he explains.

To view the Mackenzie Valley Type B Water License Application submission, go to the Mackenzie Gas Project website at www.mackenziegasproject.com. Paper copies can be viewed at the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board office.

glacierman Why would they need 6000 well permits ? That seems like alot of drilling to me

Hey Farm,  the individual permits cover anything from barge landing sites to camp locations, roads, creek crossings, and stream crossings.  To deal with the permafrost,  I believe that the gas will be chilled slightly before it's shipped south.   Lots of things to consider,  Imperial will have to restaff their offices very shortly.
