Point Rousse Port Expansion Gets Early Approval Under Impact Assessment Act

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) completed its assessment of the Point Rousse Port Expansion Project in Newfoundland and Labrador and determined that potential adverse effects within federal jurisdiction would be limited or addressed through existing laws and regulations. The federal impact assessment process under the Impact Assessment Act is now complete after a 68-day review, with no further assessment required. Point Rousse Marine Terminal Ltd. must still obtain any necessary federal and provincial authorizations and permits to proceed with construction.
