The Pacific NorthWest LNG Project (the Project) is proposed to be located primarily on federal lands and waters administered by the Prince Rupert Port Authority approximately 15 kilometres south of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. At full production, the facility would receive approximately 3.2 billion standard cubic feet per day, or 9.1 x 107 cubic metres per day, of pipeline grade natural gas, and produce up to 20.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG for over 30 years. The Project would include the construction and operation of a marine terminal for loading LNG on to vessels for export to Pacific Rim markets in Asia.

  • DEFINING the MIDDLE PERIOD Fjsoo BP to 1500 BPJ in Tsimshian History Through a Comparison of Archaeological and Oral Records
    DEFINING THE MIDDLE PERIOD fjSoo BP to 1500 BPJ in Tsimshian History through a Comparison of Archaeological and Oral Records ANDREW R.C. MARTINDALE AND SUSAN MARSDEN INTRODUCTION NDIGENOUS ORAL TRADITIONS are compelling sources of information for archaeologists. They represent situated narratives on culture Iand history, which introduce a people's record of their history to the otherwise materialist database of archaeology. Archaeologists routinely make comparisons between indigenous cultures and archae­ ological data, either in the form of generalized analogies or as direct historical analogies between ethnographically known cultures and their archaeologically known antecedents. The use of indigenous oral narratives in archaeology is less common, although much of what is known ethnographically is based on the indigenous oral record. Several successful comparisons are known, however (Klimko andTaft 1990; MacDonald 1984; Marsden 2000; Martindale 1999a; Sharpe andTunbridge 1997). In this paper, we compare archaeological data for the cultural history of theTsimshian people of the northern Northwest Coast of North America to information from their oral histories. Analysis of archaeological data and indigenous oral records presents distinct but comparable views of Tsimshian history. We discuss the history of the Tsimshian from about 3,500 to 1,500 years ago and argue that such a comparison clarifies an evolving pattern of settlement that earlier interpretations of the Tsimshian have not brought into focus. Specifically, we argue that, during the Middle Period between 3,500 and 2,000 years ago, the northern Tsimshian area (Figure 1) consisted of two settlement regions, one on the coast north of the mouth of the Skeena River and the other in the interior around Kitselas Canyon.

  • Evaluation of Potential Post-Glacial Faults Using Bare-Earth Lidar Topographic Data Near Ridley Island, British Columbia
    Evaluation of Potential Post-Glacial Faults Using Bare-Earth LiDAR Topographic Data Near Ridley Island, British Columbia Nicholas Novoa, L.G. A report prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Earth and Space Sciences: Applied Geosciences University of Washington December 2013 Project Mentor: Mark Molinari, URS Corp. Internship Coordinator: Kathy Troost Reading Committee: Juliet Crider Alison Duvall MESSAGe Technical Report: 002 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I am presenting the results of my evaluation to identify topographic lineaments that are potentially related to post-glacial faulting using bare-earth LiDAR topographic data near Ridley Island, British Columbia. The purpose of this evaluation has been to review bare-earth LiDAR data for evidence of post-glacial faulting in the area surrounding Ridley Island and provide a map of the potential faults to review and possibly field check. My work consisted of an extensive literature review to understand the tectonic, geologic, glacial and sea level history of the area and analysis of bare-earth LiDAR data for Ridley Island and the surrounding region. Ridley Island and the surrounding north coast of British Columbia have a long and complex tectonic and geologic history. The north coast of British Columbia consists of a series of accreted terranes and some post-accretionary deposits. The accreted terranes were attached to the North American continent during subduction of the Pacific Plate between approximately 200 Ma and 10 Ma. The terrane and post-accretionary deposits are metamorphosed sedimentary, volcanic and intrusive rocks. The rocks have experienced significant deformation and been intruded by plutonic bodies.
