Newfoundland LNG Ltd. proposes to construct, operate and eventually decommission a LNG transshipment and storage terminal. The proposed development would include a marine terminal comprised of thee jetties, a tug berth, eight LNG storage tanks, and supporting infrastructure including an access road, office facilities, security fencing, and utilities such as water and power. The proposed facility will provide LNG to markets in the north-eastern United States and Canada.
The proponent proposes to locate the development at Grassy Point, within Come-by-Chance Harbour, at the head of Placentia Bay.
Transport Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the responsible authorities, have undertaken a comprehensive study of the marine terminal, a tug berth, eight LNG storage tanks, and supporting infrastructure and have submitted their report to the Minister of the Environment and to the Agency.
Following the public comment period on the report, and upon review of the comments received, the Minister of the Environment will issue an environmental assessment decision statement.
The report, along with further information on the project is available on the Agency's Web site, registry # 07-03-26546. The public may also consult the report in the following centres:
