Excel Energy Inc: Birch Oil Sales Pipeline Pre-Impact Fisheries Habitat Assessment

Excel Energy Inc. planned to construct an oil pipeline in the area of the Birch oil field in northeastern British Columbia. The project involved the construction of approximately 36 kilometres of pipeline for the purpose of transporting crude oil from Excel's Birch Central oil battery, located near Aitken Creek, to the existing oil gathering system near the Alaska Highway. This pre-impact fisheries habitat assessment was conducted on October 13 and 14, 1993 to identify and evaluate fish habitat along the proposed route associated with this project.
