Coastal Gas Link, the newly completed 670-km pipeline that will carry natural gas from northern British Columbia to Canada's first giant coastal gas export terminal in Kitimat, B.C., that is set to start commercial operation next year, has been fined more than $1 million for failing to control erosion during construction and non-compliance with preventative agreements, province regulators said.

British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office issued 10 administrative penalties on Sept. 11 totaling nearly $435,000 against the pipeline, owned by Calgary, Alberta-based TC Energy and investors. It will provide gas to the first $14-billion phase of the LNG Canada terminal, owned by a Shell-led consortium and now about 95% complete, with Fluor Corp. as its primary construction contractor.
