Two-year construction phase yields 170 jobs and 300 year refs
The project's two year construction phase is set to create about 170 person years of direct employment, while the operation phase will add 300 person years. An environmental assessment finds no likely significant adverse effects. The 101 commitments include wildlife monitoring, no disturbance zones, avoidance of old growth areas and wetlands, turbidity oversight, spill prevention, fish salvage, and First Nations consultation during construction and operation.
