LNG Canada Export Terminal: Marine Resources Technical Data Report
October 2014 — British Columbia, Canada
Clients: Stantec, LNG Canada
Appendix F – LNG Canada Underwater Noise Studies: Field Measurements Report (p63)
Appendix G – Underwater Acoustic Modelling of Marine Terminal Construction and Vessel Activities (p135)
Acoustic measurement and modelling studies for Stantec as part of LNG Canada’s application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate for their LNG Canada Export Terminal project near Kitimat, BC, which was granted in June 2015. The measurement study comprised four underwater recorders deployed for four months and characterized the ambient noise conditions, vessel traffic, and presence of humpback, killer, and fin whales. The modelling study comprised eight scenarios to predict underwater noise emissions from terminal construction and vessels, including LNG carriers.
