The proposed method of crossing is called Horizontal Directional Drilling, which was done during CGL construction on the Wedzinkwa/Morice River.

The Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline's environmental assessment is a point of contention between the Gitanyow First Nation and the Western LNG-Nisga'a First Nation partnership.

The project that was assessed and approved is not the project being currently constructed in the Nass Valley of Terrace, according to Gitanyow.

"As far as we're concerned, this pipeline needs a new environmental assessment," said Gamlakyeltxw (Wil Marsden), a chief of the Ganeda Clan.
