May 1, 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) must decide whether a federal environmental assessment is required for the proposed Base Line Terminal Project, located within Strathcona County, adjacent to the municipal boundary of Edmonton, Alberta.
To assist it in making its decision, the Agency is seeking comments from the public on the project and its potential effects on the environment. All comments received will be considered public. Written comments must be submitted by May 21, 2015 to:
