Coastal GasLink has developed a draft Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP), which serves as a Pest Management Plan, as per the Integrated Pest Management Regulation of British Columbia. The purpose of this IVMP is to provide a framework to manage the growth and spread of noxious weeds and invasive plants and to remove undesirable trees and brush for reasons of safety and fire control, as well as to ensure pipeline or facility site security.
The geographical areas covered by this proposed IVMP include locations near the communities of Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Groundbirch, Chetwynd, Prince George, Vanderhoof, Fraser Lake, Burns Lake, Houston, Smithers, Kitimat and Terrace. The IVMP will apply to all components of the Coastal GasLink pipeline including the pipeline right-of-way, compressor, valves, and meter station sites, access roads and ancillary sites. The IVMP will be active from 2025 to 2030. Herbicide applications are intended within the areas to which the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan applies to control invasive and noxious weeds and undesirable vegetation. The herbicides that may be used under this Integrated Vegetation Management Plan can be found in the table to the right.
Proposed methods of pesticide application may include cut surface, basal bark, or foliar applications (backpack or ATV/truck mounted application). Proposed methods of pesticide application may include cut surface, basal bark, or foliar applications (backpack or ATV/truck mounted application).
