North Star Pipeline Construction Monitoring
CLIENT: TC Energy Corporation, an affiliate of Nova Gas Transmission Ltd.
AJM Environmental was contracted by TC Energy Corporation (TC), an affiliate with Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (Nova Gas), in 2023 to provide environmental consulting services for the final construction clean-up efforts of the NGTL North Central Expansion, North Central Corridor Loop (North Star 2) in northern Alberta. The North Star 2 pipeline section was approximately 24km in length and was a Canada Energy Regulator (CER) regulated project.
The scope of work provided by AJM included:
Pre-construction wildlife sweeps (including migratory bird nest sweeps) in June and July 2023.
Migratory bird nest mitigation guidance in June and July 2023.
Amphibian mitigation guidance and salvages in June and July 2023.
Implementation of the projects’ Environmental Protection Plan.
The environmental services were conducted in accordance with accepted best practices and ensured compliance with relevant federal and provincial regulations (e.g., Migratory Birds Convention Act 1994, Migratory Birds Regulations 2022, and the Species at Risk Act 2002). AJM identified nests during the wildlife sweeps and implemented appropriate mitigations to ensure environmental compliance while enabling construction clean-up operations to progress. In addition, AJM assisted TC with the implementation of the Environmental Protection Plan developed for this pipeline project.
The project was competed on time and under budget.
