A hefty fine has been issued for non-compliance following an environmental assessment of a British Columbia pipeline project.
Those behind the Coastal GasLink Pipeline were slapped with a second administrative penalty, the provincial Ministry of Environment said in a statement Monday.
CGL was fined for "non-compliance with conditions and orders related to erosion and sediment control under its environmental assessment certificate," the ministry said.
The fine is $170,100, and was issued following several inspections, the province said.
It follows a $72,500 penalty issued to CGL in February.
