| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This Environmental and Socio-Economic Effects Report (ESER) was written in support of an application for a Licence of Occupation (LOO) for BC Hydro’s proposed Terrace to Kitimat Transmission Project (TKTP; the Project). The Project scope includes a new approximately 50 kilometre (km), 287-kilovolt (kV) single circuit transmission line, along with associated infrastructure, to replace the existing 2L099 and the replacement of a 3 km long transmission line (2L103). The new transmission line will connect the Skeena substation near Terrace to the Minette substation near Kitimat. The 2L103 transmission line connects the Minette substation to Rio Tinto’s Alcan Kitimat substation. Subject to unforeseen conditions, the Project’s planned in-service date is the latter part of 2020. For the purposes of this report and the planning and permitting processes for the Project, decommissioning of the existing 2L099 transmission line, which is expected to take place after the new line is in service, is not within the scope of the Project. The decommissioning of the existing line is not assessed in this report, as its purpose is to assess the potential environmental and socio-economic effects of the new line. Further engagement and consultation around the decommissioning of the existing line will take place separately and additional studies and/or planning will be conducted as appropriate. |
