Bear Paw Pipeline Corporation Inc. (Bear Paw), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (LNGL), has recently declared that it has registered its Environmental Assessment (EA) with Nova Scotia Environment. Bear Paw is proposing to construct and operate a 62.5km natural gas pipeline from Goldboro to the proposed Bear Head LNG liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Point Tupper, Richmond County, Nova Scotia. The Goldboro to Point Tupper pipeline connects Bear Head LNG to the North American natural gas pipeline network.
âWe are committed to completing the Bear Paw pipeline project in a manner that protects the natural and cultural environment,â? said Maurice Brand, President of Bear Paw. âWe are putting all the elements in place, with Bear Paw pipeline being one of them, to develop a successful LNG export facility on Cape Breton Island.â?
Bear Paw regulatory, permitting, and certain other costs were contemplated in LNGLâs previously disclosed threeâ?year cash management plan. Expenditures for construction of the pipeline shall commence only after financial close of the Bear Head LNG project.
