BC EAO AUG 30 2013 Line Creek Report.Pdf LINE CREEK OPERATIONS PHASE II ASSESSMENT REPORT With Respect to the Application by Teck Coal Limited for an Environmental Assessment Certificate pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.43 Prepared by: Environmental Assessment Office August 30, 2013 August 2013 Line Creek Operations Phase II Assessment Report Preface Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) manages the assessment of proposed major projects in British Columbia, as required by the Environmental Assessment Act. The process includes: • opportunities for the involvement of all interested parties; • consultations with First Nations; • technical studies to identify and examine potential significant adverse effects; • strategies to prevent, or reduce, adverse effects; and • development of comprehensive reports summarizing input and findings. At the conclusion of each Environmental Assessment (EA), EAO provides a comprehensive Assessment Report (Assessment Report), and makes recommendations to the Minister of Environment and to the Minister responsible for the project sector. The Ministers may decide to certify a project, decline to certify a project, or require further assessment. This Assessment Report considers the proposed Project’s potential to cause significant adverse environmental, economic, social, heritage and health effects. It identifies measures to prevent or reduce adverse effects, and sets out EAO’s analysis and conclusions. It also documents the work undertaken by EAO to consult and accommodate First Nations, in keeping with the Supreme Court of Canada's direction in Haida v. Minister of Forests and related case law. Information and records relating to EAs is available on EAO’s website at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.
