The $4-billion Alliance Pipeline Ltd. project received the green light from Canadian regulators yesterday, but could still face a delay if environmentalists get their day in court.
Land-clearing for the 3,000-kilometer gas pipeline to the Chicago area from northeastern British Columbia is scheduled to begin in mid-January.
... National Energy Board ... federal cabinet approval ....
The Alliance project is scheduled to begin shipping 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas daily in the Chicago area in October, 2000. ...
Michael Sawyer with the Rocky Mountain Ecosystem Coalition ... wants ... (the board) to consider the impacts of the thousands of extra gas wells that will be drilled per year to fill the pipeline, plus the extra roads, bridges and gas plants that will be needed. ...
Backers of Alliance include 37 gas producers plus pipeline companies including U.S. giants such as Duke Energy Corp. of Charlotte, N.C. and Unocal Corp. of El Segundo, Calif.
Fort Chicago Energy Partners LP of Calgary is Alliance's largest stakeholder with a 26-per-cent interest. Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. formerly IPL Energy Inc. has a 21.4-per-cent stake.
