LNG Canada formally adopts ICS Canada principles and processes to ensure a standardized, integrated command structure.

The focus shifted from relying mainly on emergency response documents and procedures to building people’s skills through ICS Canada-aligned training for incident management team roles.

"Emergency management capability is underpinned by a robust ICS Canada-aligned training and competency framework that systematically develops proficiency across all Incident Management Team (IMT) roles."

Management of fish and fish habitat, including fish and amphibian salvage, construction of new offsetting habitats and maintenance of existing offsets. Fish habitat effectiveness monitoring.

The updated claim removes pre-tree-clearing den surveys from wildlife management activities, narrowing the scope of wildlife protection.

"Wildlife management activities, including wildlife monitoring and assessments, wildlife observation tracking, and installation and effectiveness monitoring of bat boxes."

The claim now focuses only on wetland compensation, removing the explicit mention of Marbled Murrelets and conservation-based compensation.

"Continuation of progression of Wetland compensation"

The program now requires not just checking on restored wetlands but also adjusting actions over time to help them meet ecological goals.

"The follow-up program shall include continued monitoring and adaptive management of the compensatory wetland sites to support progression toward functional equivalency and performance targets over time."

It replaces detailed references to consulting Indigenous groups on specific marine plans and permit conditions with a broad statement that LNG Canada will continue consulting on project and operational activities that may affect Indigenous rights and interests.

"LNG Canada continues to consult with Indigenous groups regarding Project and Operational activities that may potentially impact Indigenous rights and interests."

The change makes wetland protection mandatory and requires LNG Canada to prioritize avoiding wetland loss before minimizing, managing, or compensating for impacts.

"The Proponent shall mitigate the adverse environmental effects of the Designated Project on wetland functions that support migratory birds, species at risk or the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal people. The Proponent shall give preference to avoiding the loss of wetlands over minimizing the adverse effects on wetlands and for managing the effects on wetlands over compensating for lost or adversely affected wetlands."

LNG Canada continues discussions with Gitxaala Nation about providing a safe shipping workshop to Gitxaala in Lach Klan in the summer of 2026.

The wording now adds monitoring as an equally important part of adaptive management to help track progress toward performance targets over time.

"Adaptive management and monitoring to support progression toward performance targets over time"

The follow-up program was expanded from only checking whether migratory bird protections worked to also verifying the environmental assessment’s accuracy and evaluating mitigation measures across multiple conditions, including fish and fish habitat, in consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Aboriginal groups.

"In consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Aboriginal groups, the Proponent shall develop and implement a follow-up program to verify the accuracy of the environmental assessment and to determine the effectiveness of mitigation measures identified under conditions 3.1 to 3.11 and 3.13."

LNG Canada added a commitment to use state-of-the-art design and engineering practices that go beyond what laws require.

"LNG Canada commits to compliance with existing regulations, permits, approvals, authorizations, and related management plan requirements, and to adopt state-of-the-art design and engineering practices that exceed requirements laid out in legislation, while aligning environmental, community and social performance commitments into engineering design and construction decisions."

The MMMMP Rev 3 was accepted by EAO December 10, 2025. The purpose of the MMMMP is to outline how LNG Canada will implement requirements under EAC Condition 05 for the Operations phase (shipping) of the Project.

The report changed from saying construction caused no harm to nearby wetlands to acknowledging that wetlands and stream habitats were filled and vegetation was cleared, with offsets created to compensate.

"Fisheries Act Authorization 15-HPAC-00918 (FAA1) authorized construction of the Workforce Accommodation Centre (Cedar Valley Lodge), including the infilling of Beaver Creek wetland and off-channel watercourse habitats and the clearing of riparian vegetation within and adjacent to those habitats. Habitat offsets were implemented to compensate for these impacts and include constructed and restored freshwater channels, ponds, and riparian habitats in the Beaver Creek watershed, as well as the Sumgas Creek restoration offset added through an FAA1 amendment."

Noise-related complaints rose sharply from 12 to 109 during the reporting year.

"During the reporting year, 109 concerns and complaints were received related to noise."

Construction of all authorized offset habitats has been completed, and effectiveness monitoring is ongoing in accordance with the approved Effectiveness Monitoring Programs (EMPs).

The wording was updated to clarify that construction-related conditions applying to both Phases 1 and 2 are included in the IAAC Decision Statement conditions that must be documented, tracked, and actioned.

"The LNG Canada Compliance Management System, a component of the LNG Canada HSSE Management System, details processes that are in place to ensure the conditions of the IAAC Decision Statement — including construction-related conditions applicable to both Phases 1 and 2 — are documented, tracked, and actioned."

The update only adds more specific examples of community issues discussed, without changing the purpose or participants of the roundtable meetings.

"LNG Canada holds Social Management Roundtable (SMR) working group sessions where direct community impacts and mitigations are discussed with stakeholders. Participants include Indigenous groups, community organizations, local governments, and provincial stakeholders. Focus areas for SMR are community health, housing, emergency response, traffic, education, amenities, and utilities (focused on waste)."

LNG Canada turned its quarterly meetings with local environmental groups into a formal Environmental Forum for Kitimat-based advocacy groups, adding operational updates to the environmental discussions.

"LNG Canada hosts the Environmental Forum, which is a group of representatives from various Kitimat-based environmental advocacy groups, to share environmental and operational information. The Environment Forum was hosted quarterly throughout the reporting period by LNG Canada."

The requirement to submit an annual report by June 30 now applies to the decommissioning phase instead of starting at construction, with no explanation of how it connects to earlier reporting duties.

"The Proponent shall from the reporting year in which decommissioning begins until the end of decommissioning, submit to the Agency a written report no later than June 30 of the following reporting year."

The requirement changed from one annual report with a bilingual executive summary due by June 30 to semi-annual reports without those requirements.

"The Proponent shall submit semi-annual reports to EAO, NHA, and ENV, with no requirement for bilingual executive summaries or adherence to the June 30 annual submission deadline."

The requirement was narrowed from keeping detailed records of monitoring, sampling, analysis methods, and analyst qualifications to simply maintaining and making a record available near the project.

"The Proponent shall maintain a written record, or a record in an electronic format compatible with that used by the Agency, and retain and make available that record to the Agency, or anyone designated pursuant to section 89 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, at a facility close to the Designated Project (local facility)."

No change was detected between the historical and current claims.

"The Proponent shall maintain a written record, or a record in an electronic format compatible with that used by the Agency, and retain and make available that record to the Agency [...] The record shall include information related to the implementation of the conditions set out in this Decision Statement, and the results of all monitoring, including: • the place, date and time of any sampling, as well as techniques, methods or procedures used; • the dates and the analyses that were performed; • the analytical techniques, methods or procedures used in the analyses; • the names of the persons who collected and analyzed each sample and documentation of any professional certifications relevant to the work performed that they might possess; and • the results of the analyses. Additionally, Environmental Monitors are authorized to stop work in cases where mitigations are not sufficient or where non-compliance is observed."

The updated claim adds that the framework includes quarterly emergency response team exercises, but it does not change the framework’s overall purpose or scope.

"The LNG Canada emergency response framework contains a series of inter-related documents and manuals that outline the tools (plans, procedures, and processes) and reference materials required to facilitate a prompt, safe, efficient, and effectively managed response to all incidents resulting from LNG Canada construction regardless of size or complexity, and includes quarterly emergency response team exercises focused on tactical execution and field integration."

The LNG Canada emergency response framework has expanded from mainly documents and manuals to also include regular emergency management team exercises that test command, coordination, and decision-making in realistic scenarios.

"The LNG Canada emergency response framework includes periodic IMT exercises aligned with the BCER Emergency Management Framework to validate command, coordination, and decision-making under realistic scenarios, in addition to its series of inter-related documents and manuals outlining the tools (plans, procedures, and processes) and reference materials required to facilitate a prompt, safe, efficient, and effectively managed response to all incidents resulting from LNG Canada construction regardless of size or complexity."

The wording shifted from describing the broader emergency response framework to naming the Core Emergency Response Plan as the operational guide used with related emergency response and communications protocols, without changing the substance.

"The LNG Canada Core Emergency Response Plan serves as the operational guide for incident response and is activated in conjunction with the Incident Command System (Canada) Guide and external communications protocols in the event of an emergency."

The Operations Environmental Management Plan went from being submitted and updated for review to being formally accepted by the BC Environmental Assessment Office on June 11, 2025.

"The Operations Environmental Management Plan (OEMP) was accepted by the BC Environmental Assessment Office on June 11, 2025."

LNG Canada no longer has to use bubble curtains when quieter vibratory piling isn’t possible; instead, it may use noisier impact pile-driving but must report annually when it does and explain why the quieter method wasn’t feasible.

"When piling occurs during construction, LNG Canada employs low sound methodologies such as vibratory piling wherever feasible. In instances where the use of low sound vibratory piling is not technically feasible, impact pile-driving may be used, and LNG Canada must report annually the occurrence(s) of impact pile-driving including a description of why vibratory pile driving was not technically-feasible."

The requirement changed from specifically protecting fish, including eulachon larvae, to using the vaguer term “small fish,” weakening clear accountability for that species.

"The River Water Intake (RWI) structure has incorporated several design features to ensure the protection of fish, including but not limited to the use of fish screens. During the reporting year, the fish screens were assessed for effectiveness to reduce the entrainment and/or impingement of small fish during operational water withdrawals."

The current version adds a requirement for LNG carriers to help prevent or reduce noise-related behavioural changes in marine mammals, while keeping the collision-prevention and reporting rules.

"LNG carriers associated with the Designated Project shall respect speed profiles applicable to the operation of the Designated Project, subject to navigational safety, to prevent or reduce the risks of collisions between LNG carriers and marine mammals and to prevent or reduce risk of marine mammal behavioural change caused by noise from LNG carriers, and shall report any collision with marine mammals to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and notify Aboriginal groups."

The requirement shifted from assessing risks and identifying possible protections to requiring specific sediment-control measures when dredging or construction occurs outside low-risk timing windows, after consulting Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

"implementing additional mitigation measures — including sediment containment during dredging and using sediment disposal methods and equipment that limit re-suspension of sediments — when conducting in-water construction activities outside timing windows of least risk, following consultation with Fisheries and Oceans Canada;"

The change adds a requirement for daily downstream water quality monitoring by environmental specialists to make sure cloudy water from construction is not harming aquatic habitat.

"conducting an assessment of the risks and potential duration of any exceedances of Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment's Water Quality and Interim Sediment Quality Guidelines, and British Columbia's Water Quality Guidelines and Working Sediment Quality Guidelines that could occur during dredging and other in-water construction activities, and identify mitigation measures to avoid such exceedances; and implementing daily water quality monitoring by Environmental Specialists downstream of the construction activities to ensure that turbid water is not impacting aquatic habitat;"

The update removes sediment quality from the construction marine monitoring scope, so monitoring now focuses on marine water quality under the Marine Monitoring Plan and BC water quality guidelines.

"LNG Canada marine EMPs for construction define minimum requirements and mitigations for marine work, including monitoring of marine water quality during construction to ensure compliance with BC Approved Water Quality Guidelines as outlined in the Marine Monitoring Plan (MMP)."

The number of fish rescued from Anderson Creek and its side channel fell sharply from about 36,631 to 181, while the newer report also notes 53 fish rescued from the Kitimat River Side Channel.

"During the reporting year, crews conducted fish salvage and relocation to support maintenance works in the Anderson Creek Realignment Channel and the Kitimat River Side Channel. Crews salvaged During the reporting year an approximately 181 fish from Anderson Creek and its side channel, and 53 fish from the Kitimat River Side Channel."

The requirement was expanded from focusing mainly on fish and fish habitat to requiring broader assessments before submission, covering migratory birds, terrestrial species, species at risk, Indigenous traditional land use, navigation, and contamination impacts.

"The Proponent shall, prior to submitting any fish habitat offsetting plan to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, assess adverse effects on migratory birds and their habitats; terrestrial species including amphibians and reptiles and their habitats; species at risk and their habitat; the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal peoples; navigation; and potential contamination impacts (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans, copper, zinc) on the receiving environment."

The requirement was broadened so that a qualified environmental professional, rather than specifically a fisheries QEP, directs the release of fish into similar habitat.

"Under the direction of a qualified environmental professional, all fish were released into habitat of similar type and quality."

The change weakens bird protections by replacing required pre-clearing surveys during breeding season with surveys done only when necessary, while still requiring nest buffers and distant monitoring of active nests.

"Pre-disturbance bird surveys were completed when necessary, and any identified nests were subsequently protected by implementing buffer zones. Active nests were monitored from a distance to confirm and track the status and ensure that operational activities in the vicinity do not impact nesting or fledging."

Haisla Nation’s role changed from receiving the fish-screen effectiveness methodology to actively taking part in on-site monitoring, including fish and amphibian salvage and water quality sampling.

"The RWI structure has incorporated several design features to ensure the protection of fish, including but not limited to the use of fish screens. Throughout the reporting year, representation of the Haisla Nation participated in various monitoring activities at site, including fish and amphibian salvage, and water quality sampling (to reduce the potential for entrainment and/or impingement of small fish during operational water withdrawals and to support broader species and habitat protection)."

The number of salvaged amphibians rose from about 935 to 2,232, a 138% increase, and included more species.

"Approximately 2,232 amphibians were salvaged, including Western Toads, Long-toed Salamanders, Northwestern Salamanders, Rough-skinned Newts, and Columbia Spotted Frogs."

The number of amphibians salvaged rose from about 935 to about 2,232, now including Rough-skinned Newts and Columbia Spotted Frogs.

"Approximately 2232 amphibians were salvaged, which included Western Toads, Long-toed Salamanders, Northwestern Salamanders, Rough-skinned Newt, and Columbia Spotted Frog."

The number of active bird nests reported on the project dropped from 36 to 12, likely reflecting reduced surveying and monitoring activity.

"Across the Project site, 12 active nests were identified on various asset infrastructure."

The wetland compensation work, originally expected to be completed within five years of construction starting in November 2020, was finished and made operational in 2021, about four years ahead of schedule.

"All compensation wetlands were constructed and became operational in 2021."

There was no change detected in the wetland monitoring report description.

"The wetland monitoring report provides the monitoring objectives, methods, and results for baseline conditions (2018/2019) and five years of wetland monitoring during Project construction (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024), and provides a discussion of the current state of wetland functions, indicating that performance remains below reference conditions—particularly for vegetation establishment and higher-value fish utilization—and that key success criteria have not yet been fully met, consistent with expected early- to mid-stage wetland development."

Meetings with Haisla Nation on permitting and compliance updates were reduced from every two weeks to once a month.

"Monthly permitting and compliance update meetings with Haisla Nation."

LNG Canada expanded its community engagements to include airshed impacts alongside Safe Start-Up and Safe Shipping concerns.

"From May 2025 to October 2025 LNG Canada hosted or participated in 10 community engagements focused on Safe Start-Up, Safe Shipping or other community level concerns such as airshed impacts."

There is no substantive change: the Fish Habitat Management Plan remains described as an active part of LNG Canada’s environmental programs.

"LNG Canada implements environmental programs including the Fish Habitat Management Plan, among others such as the IAAC Implementation Plan, Wetland Compensation Plan, Archaeological and Heritage Resources Management Plan, and Community Level Infrastructure Services Management Plan."

The wording was clarified to name the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and refer to the Impact Assessment Act, while keeping the same promise to notify Indigenous groups and federal and provincial authorities as soon as possible.

"Where an incident meets the definition of an accident or malfunction under the Impact Assessment Act, LNG Canada will notify Indigenous groups, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC), and relevant federal and provincial authorities as soon as possible."

The plan changed from notifying authorities and Indigenous groups as soon as possible to notifying Indigenous groups, IAAC, and other regulators at the same time, based on the incident’s location, jurisdiction, and traditional territory considerations.

"Indigenous groups, IAAC and other regulatory agencies will be notified concurrently of an accident or malfunction that occurs during operations based on the scenario, location and jurisdiction and incorporates traditional territory considerations."

The number of reported malfunctions increased from zero to one.

"There was one (1) malfunction during the reporting year."

No change was detected: the LNG Canada Cultural Awareness Program remained required for all workers and continued to be implemented during the reporting year.

"The LNG Canada Cultural Awareness Program is required for all workers and continued to be implemented during the reporting year. The program covers a wide range of topics, including an overview of Indigenous peoples in Canada, a historical timeline, governance structures, First Nations interests in LNG Canada, understanding local Indigenous culture and spirituality, traditional knowledge, stereotypes, and cultural appropriation."

The description shifted from general continued consultation to specific opportunities for Indigenous groups to take part as marine mammal observers during surveys, while the required cultural awareness program for all workers continues.

"Indigenous groups were offered opportunities to participate as marine mammal observers during surveys related to the Marine Mammal Management and Monitoring Program, building on consultation requirements under EAC Condition 05. The LNG Canada Cultural Awareness Program remains required for all workers and continues to be implemented."

The requirement changed from simply developing the communication strategy to developing and maintaining it on an ongoing basis.

"LNG Canada developed and maintained a strategy for communicating accidents or malfunctions to Indigenous Groups, as required by Condition 10.3 of the LNG Canada Decision Statement, issued by IAAC under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act."

The 2030 target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions was drastically increased from about 1 million to nearly 8.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

"Compared to the Business-AsUsual (Business as Usual) Scenario, the quantified mitigation targets (II. A.) will reduce net greenhouse gas emissions and removals by 8,866.53 Ggcarbon dioxideeq (17.12%) in 2030"

The country's 2035 target for forest cover was increased from 45% to 46% of its total land area.

The target for daily wastewater treatment has been increased from 380 million to 510 million liters, and the deadline to meet this goal has been extended from 2025 to 2035.

"By 2035, 510 million liters/day of wastewater will be treated before being discharged."

The deadline to increase soil organic matter to at least 4% has been pushed back from 2030 to 2035, reducing the urgency for immediate action.

"efforts to increase Soil Organic Matter to at least 4% by 2035 will be pursued."

The deadline for the energy sector to achieve its greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal has been pushed back from 2030 to 2035.

"If the quantified targets are implemented, the total greenhouse gas emissions reduction from the Energy sector will be 8,546.41 Gg carbon dioxide eq by 2035."

The 2030 target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture, forestry, and land use sector has been significantly lowered from approximately 14 million tons to about 1.57 million tons.

"The total greenhouse gas emissions reduction from the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector will be 1,566.49 Ggcarbon dioxideeq by 2030"

The agriculture, forestry, and land-use sector's emissions reduction target was drastically scaled back, shifting from a regional pilot goal of 14,000 gigagrams by 2020 to a nationwide target of just 2,472.94 gigagrams by 2035.

"The total greenhouse gas emissions reduction from the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector will be 2,472.94 Gg carbon dioxide eq by 2035"

The timeline for strengthening and expanding climate-sensitive disease surveillance has been pushed back from an original 2025 target to new milestones in 2030 and 2035.

"By 2030, climate-sensitive disease surveillance will be strengthened in 134 sentinel sites, expanding to all municipalities by 2035."

The plan to mobilize school resource persons simply replaced the term "climate change" with "global warming" while keeping all original targets and timelines exactly the same.

"By 2030, 2,000 global warming Adaptation resource persons will be mobilized locally to strengthen school-level global warming capacity, increasing to 4,000 by 2035."

The estimated cost of conditional national climate targets has more than doubled from $25 billion to nearly $63 billion, pushing the total projected cost of these environmental goals to almost $74 billion by 2035.

"The total cost of the Nationally Determined Contribution's quantified mitigation targets till 2035 are estimated to be USD 73.74 billion (14.68% unconditional and 85.32% conditional)."

Instead of simply stating that climate adaptation costs would be detailed in a future plan, the updated claim now provides a specific estimate of $18 to $20 billion through 2035.

"For the Nationally Determined Contribution's adaptation priorities till 2035, the total cost was estimated to be in the range of USD 18 to 20 billion dollars."
