Environmental Assessment Bulletin
The Honourable Dan Crummell, Minister of Environment and Conservation, has announced the following event relative to Part 10 Environmental Assessment of the Environmental Protection Act.
APPEAL OF MINISTER'S DECISION:
Snows Pond/Ocean Pond Agriculture Forage Land (Reg. 1592)
Proponent: Munn Poultry Farm Limited
On December 12, 2011 the Minister released the above undertaking from environmental assessment. As a condition of the release, the proponent was restricted from developing an area referred to as Site 2. On November 9, 2012, the Minister revised the original environmental assessment release conditions to allow the proponent to develop a portion of Site 2. The decision to revise the condition is now subject to appeal.
The modified Site 2 boundary and the proponent’s rationale for the modification along with the Minister’s letter revising the release condition can be found on the Environmental Assessment Project website at: //www.env.gov.nl.ca/env/env_assessment/projects/Y2011/1592/index.html.
