As comforting as the above sounds the only way to truely “avoid construction and operating risk to the pipeline easement risk” is to avoid it altogether.

I hope there are other ways.

If BCI agree to avoid the area then ponds 1 and 2 and the seawater pump stations need new locations north of the pipelines. That would be a major blow to project approvals, timeframes and engineering.

I trust BCI isn’t going to do this as it would have significant implications for its reporting practices and shareholder confidence.
