FortisBC has an approval (GVU1256), which expires on March 29, 2026. FortisBC’s approval is currently suspended, at their request, because the facility is not operating. FortisBC intends to resume operations on March 9, 2026, at which time the approval will be reinstated.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p>FortisBC is requesting a new permit with a 20-year term and an overall decrease in authorized emissions.</p><p>FortisBC is purchasing and upgrading the landfill gas from the City of Vancouver Landfill that was previously being flared by the City of Vancouver. Impurities within the landfill gas are removed through a series of separation processes, after which the gas is considered Renewable Natural Gas. This process is achieved through a biogas upgrading system, and the finished Renewable Natural Gas is subsequently pressurized and odorized prior to being injected into FortisBC's natural gas system. The impurities from the process are treated through a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO).<br></p></div>5400 72 Street, Delta, BC V4K 3N3https://maps.app.goo.gl/vkL8gGMS6VoDDaCD7, https://maps.app.goo.gl/vkL8gGMS6VoDDaCD7Application Under Review<div class="ExternalClass93ED20FAEF18447BB4AABA2C85FE5849"><h3>​Public Notification</h3><p><span style="color:#262626;font-family:"segoe ui semilight", "segoe ui", segoe, tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:1.15em;"></span>A person who may be adversely affected by the granting of a permit or approval, or by the granting of an amendment to a permit or approval may, within 30 days, notify the District Director in writing stating how that person is affected. </p><p>When making a decision on the permit or approval application, the District Director will consider the application, comments submitted and any responses provided by the applicant.  If you wish to be notified of the District Director's decision, please provide either a valid email or postal address. ​</p><h3>Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy</h3><p>For the project described on this webpage, information collected during the comment period and the time following until a decision on the permit or approval application has been made is collected by Metro Vancouver in accordance to s.26(c) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
