A 6.5-million-barrel oil storage terminal south of Vancouver is planned for land that could turn to liquid in an earthquake.

The 260-hectare site is the end point of the proposed Pacific Link pipeline, which would sprawl more than 1,200 kilometres from Bruderheim, Alta., through Jasper National Park, to Roberts Bank, in Delta, BC.
