NEW UNDERTAKING REGISTERED

• L'Anse au Diable Shooting Range
  Proponent: Wildlife Division and Canadian Rangers

The proponents propose to develop a shooting range for the Labrador Straits area at L'Anse au Diable. This will involve constructing a small building at the site and two outdoor privys. The construction period is expected to extend over two to three years as funds become available.

The public is invited to examine this registration document and offer written comments to the minister whether an environmental impact statement should be ordered for this proposal. The deadline for the receipt of public comments is May 24, 1996.

A guide to the Environmental Assessment Process is available from the Department of Environment and Labour. The minister encourages all interested parties to become involved and to make comments known.
