April 24, 2015 — Ottawa — Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency
As part of the strengthened and modernized Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) put in place to support the government's Responsible Resource Development Initiative, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) is conducting a federal environmental assessment of the proposed Goliath Gold Project, located in Ontario.
The Agency invites the public to comment on the potential environmental effects of the project and the proposed measures to prevent or mitigate those effects as described in a summary of the proponent's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Information sessions will also be held during the comment period.
Consistent with the transparency and public engagement elements of CEAA 2012, this is the third of four opportunities for the public to comment on this project. All comments received will be considered public.
