Copies of documents may be obtained by contacting the Department of Environment at (709) 729-2562 or by calling toll-free 1-800-563-6181. Comments on submitted documents are invited from the public, addressed in writing to the mnister, and are welcome prior to the deadline date shown.

ENVIRONMENTAL PREVIEW REPORT REQUIRED:

Bellevue 18-Hole Golf Course
Proponent: L. Mareido Enterprises Limited (Melvin Conrad Reid, President)

The Minister of Environment has decided that the registration for the Bellevue 18-Hole Golf Course does not contain sufficient detail to determine the significance of the environmental effects and therefore will require an Environmental Preview Report (EPR). The EPR must address outstanding concerns including, but not limited to, details regarding wildlife (raptors), the protected water supply, domestic forest harvesting, archaelogical sites, and public concerns. The minister will appoint an assessment committee to meet with the proponent and prepare guidelines for the preparation of the EPR. The guidelines will be a public document, available upon request to all stakeholders and interested persons. For further information please contact the Assessment Committee Chairperson, Carl Strong, at (709) 729-0834 or email cstrong@mail.gov.nf.ca 

The minister encourages all interested parties to become involved and to make comments known. Further information may be obtained by contacting the Director of Environmental Assessment at (709) 729-2562 or toll-free: 1-800-563-6181 or by mail to:

Director, Environmental Assessment Division
Department of Environment 
West Block, Confederation Building
