Prince George dredge and alter a large portion of the Delusion Bay habitat for their loading trestle. This project could have impacts to Skeena Salmon similar to those posed by Pacific As outlined in the environmental assessment application, Delusion Bay is expected to remain largely undisturbed and dredge activities are limited to areas off of North West LNG at Flora Bank. Dr. Barb Faggetter assigned a habitat value to the Delusion Bay area equal to that of Flora Bank. Studies being carried out in the area Frederick Point and Casey Cove. The Fish Habitat Offset Plan (currently being developed) will include details on the potential effects to fish and fish habitat have shown significant numbers of juvenile salmon. The project is also very close to the community of Digby Island. A proper Environmental Review would note that the including salmon and the proposed offset to meet the DFO requirement of no net loss. salmon need protection. 2 2017-02-07 Christopher Travis The proposed LNG terminal will hamper the migration of salmon and steelhead up the Skeena River. Any encroachment on Digby Island will have a deleterious affect on Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concerns. Aurora LNG is undergoing a thorough, independent environmental assessment process, led by the - California spawning salmon and also growth of juvenile salmon and steelhead. Please utilize other ports where LNG sights have already been built.....like Vancouver. BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and involving both provincial and federal regulators, to examine all potentially adverse effects of the project and determine ways to avoid or lessen potential effects. 3 2017-02-07 Howard Kirkham - Here are the three numbers that should not be forgotten: Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report on mitigation of climate change Victoria 1. 2 degrees — Almost every government in the world has agreed that any warming above a 2°C (3.6°F) rise would be unsafe. We have already raised the temperature states that GHG emissions from the energy sector could be substantially reduced if coal-fired power plants are replaced with natural gas power plants. The report .8°C, and that has caused far more damage than most scientists expected. A third of summer sea ice in the Arctic is gone, the oceans are 30 percent more acidic, and also states that natural gas power plants could act as a bridge technology and that natural gas could play an important role as a transition fuel (IPCC 2014). since warm air holds more water vapor than cold, the climate dice are loaded for increasing both devastating floods and drought. The Project will be designed and operated to adhere to provincial and federal GHG emission programs and policies. The Project will comply with the BC Carbon 2. 565 gigatons — Scientists estimate that humans can pour roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and still have some reasonable hope of Tax system, and the majority of GHG emissions from the Project will originate from the combustion of fuel, for which the Project will pay carbon taxes. Aurora LNG staying below two degrees. Computer models calculate that even if we stopped increasing CO2 levels now, the temperature would still rise another 0.8 degrees above will also adhere to the recently enacted requirements related to emission intensity benchmarks in the BC Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act. the 0.8 we've already warmed, which means that we're already 3/4s of the way to the 2 degree target. 3. 2,795 gigatons — The Carbon Tracker Initiative, a team of London financial analysts, estimates that proven coal, oil, and gas reserves of the fossil-fuel companies, and the countries (think Venezuela or Kuwait) that act like fossil-fuel companies, equals about 2,795 gigatons of CO2, or five times the amount we can release to maintain 2 degrees of warming. It is time to connect the dots between climate change, politics, and the fossil fuel industry.The LNG development on Digby Island is is an example of a time when politics, ideology, or economics need to submit to the math and physics of climate change; otherwise we need to prepare for some awkward future questions from our children and grand-children. I am calling upon my country, Canada via the Environmental Assessment Office, to become a model for the world and reject the application for the Aurora LNG Digby Island Project. 4 2017-02-07 Personal I am opposed to the Aurora LNG project for Digby Island due to its extreme endangerment of Pacific Coast wild Salmon stock, and an important natural resource that Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. Information provides good jobs in the fishing industry.Although I live away, I have been actively protecting our B.C. natural environment for 63 years. Withheld - Salmon Arm 5 2017-02-07 Personal This is yet another climate destroying outrage by this incompetent government. Reject this project and the government with it. Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. Information Withheld - West Vancouver 6 2017-02-07 John Stevens - I am a commercial fisherman of 50 years experience and I am concerned that Aurora will have a negative environmental impact on Delusion Bay. Also, I feel that all Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. Delta export of B.C.'s LNG should not be allowed to proceed in view of the fact that most of the LNG will be extracted by fracking. I believe that fracking has an unacceptable carbon footprint on our planet and must be stopped in order to meet Canada's goal in support of the Paris Agreement and the movement to reverse global warming. 7 2017-02-07 Per-Henirk In the event the project proceeds and it is acceptable to the residents of Dodge Cove, that the proponent pays for relocation of the community to another preferred Aurora LNG acknowledges the comment. Norman - Kitimat location within PR harbour, if it exists. 8 2017-02-07 Josh Wainwright - The LNG proposa is a potential environmental disaster. But you know that. Please don't give in to Greed. This Planet is all we have!!k Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. Kentucky 9 2017-02-07 Personal I would like to see this project go ahead. I support development on digby island. Aurora LNG appreciates the comment in support of the proposed Project. Information Withheld - Prince Rupert 10 2017-02-01 Personal I am in total support of this project. Prince Rupert needs some industry setting up here. As a small business owner I see the value, and look forward to a positive Aurora LNG appreciates the comment in support of the proposed Project. Information decision. Withheld - Prince Rupert 11 2017-01-29 Luke Wallace - Dear EAO and whomever else this may concern, Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concerns. Aurora LNG is undergoing a thorough, independent environmental assessment process, led by the Vancouver/Digby I am utterly appalled and disappointment in the local, provincial and federal governments for allowing the proposed Aurora Fracked Gas terminal to get as far as it has. BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and involving both provincial and federal regulators, to examine all potentially adverse effects of the project and Island This project has already significantly disrupted and put at risk one of the most beautiful and balanced communities along the west coast. The residents of Digby Island determine ways to avoid or lessen potential effects. have been entirely ignored in the consultation process, as is true in every community speaking out against the expansion of fracking and export terminals along the west coast. This project is a terrible idea in all meanings of the word, except that it keeps with the promises made by The BC Liberals to their corporate funders during the last election. The Aurora Fracked Gas Terminal disregards the irreversible impacts it will have on the local community and ecosystems, including the residents of Dodge Cove. It completely ignores the detrimental impacts that fracking is having on indigenous communities in the north-east corner of B C. It is a dagger in the heart of young folks like me who are holding on to that last piece of hope that we may see our lives through without a global climate collapse. We cannot afford to burn another ounce of oil or gas. I will repeat that. We cannot afford to burn another ounce of oil or gas. Please recognize that constructing this project would be equivalent to waging war on the residents of this coast and we will respond firmly but peacefully to ensure that our coast and planet remain healthy for your children and grandchildren. Grow a spine and say something. To whomever is reading this - you have more power than the average person. Use it. 12 2017-01-29 Personal I am writing in regards to the Nexen LNG Terminal "Aurora" project which has been planned for our Digby Island. I have lived on this island for 25 years in the small Aurora LNG appreciates and acknowledges your concern. As we continue to develop the proposed Aurora LNG Project, safety is our top priority. Information community of Dodge Cove which is most affected by the planned industry in proximity of less than 0.5 km.
