Inga Gas Plant Expansion Project Notice

The BC Environmental Assessment Office is seeking public feedback to help determine if an environmental assessment is necessary

Public Comment Period on Proposed Expansion Open Until July 31, 2024

The public is invited to participate in the public comment period on the proposed expansion to the Inga Gas Plant, an existing natural gas processing plant near Wonowon, approximately 100 kilometres northwest from the city of Fort St. John, B.C.

On April 24, 2024, the ConocoPhillips Canada also submitted a project notification for a proposed modification to a separate natural gas processing plant, the Inga North Gas Plant. The Inga North Gas Plant is located approximately 12 kilometres from the Inga Gas Plant.

The proposed expansion to the Inga Gas Plant does not meet the thresholds to automatically require an environmental assessment; however, because the existing Inga Gas Plant currently produces more than 125,000 tonnes of greenhouse gasses per year the proponent, ConocoPhillips Canada, is required to notify the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) of any modifications that will further increase greenhouse gas emissions. The EAO is currently seeking public feedback to help determine whether an environmental assessment of this expansion should nevertheless be required.

The public comment period closes on July 31st, 2024 at 11:59 PM PDT.

Visit: engage.eao.gov.bc.ca/IngaGas-PN to learn more and provide your feedback.

Feedback is also accepted by post mail:
Inga Gas Plant Expansion Project
PO box 9426, Stn Prov Govt
Victoria, B.C. V8W 9V1.

After the public comment period closes, the EAO will prepare a report on its review and feedback received, to inform the decision on whether or not the project should require an environmental assessment.
