ENVIRONMENTAL PREVIEW REPORT RECEIVED:

Five-Year Operating Plan (2002 -2006), Forest Management District 16
(Main River Watershed)
Proponent: Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Ltd.

Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Ltd. has submitted an Environmental Preview Report (EPR) for the Five-Year Operating Plan for the Main River Watershed in Forest Management District 16. In December of 2001, the minister required the proponent to prepare an EPR to address deficiencies in the original registration document as outlined in the EPR Guidelines issued by the minister on February 26, 2002. Following public and government review, if the EPR is satisfactory, the minister will decide whether or not an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required.

The public is invited to review the EPR and submit comments to the minister by July 4, 2002. All submissions received on or before this date will be considered before a final decision is made. The EPR is available electronically on the government Web site at www.gov.nl.ca/env or copies may be obtained from the Environmental Assessment Division.
