Telkwa Coal

A record of the proposed Tenas Project open-pit coal mine near the confluence of the Telkwa & Wetzinkwa (Bulkley) rivers, British Columbia.

This site collects every document in the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) public registry for the Tenas Coal project and makes the whole file searchable. The corpus includes proponent filings, Indigenous Nations submissions, public comments, working-group meeting notes, regulator correspondence, and technical appendices — all already public, pulled together in one place so the file is easier to read.

About the project

The Tenas Project is a proposed coal mine on the Telkwa River south of the town of Telkwa, in Wet'suwet'en territory in northwestern British Columbia. The proponent has filed under several corporate names — most recently rebranded to Telkwa Mining Corporation. The EAO file under project ID 5b905af23965330024d5b706 follows the project across those name changes.
