ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND ASSESSMENTS

Rigorous Environmental Assessment Work Underway

Throughout 2023, the project has been collecting data to submit an Environmental Assessment, which includes a comprehensive analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project. Our dedicated project consultant, CBCL, is guiding the process and is providing detailed studies including:

Wetlands and watercourses surveys
Vegetation and habitat surveys
Bird and bat surveys
Moose surveys
Sound and visual assessments
Electromagnetic assessments
Archaeological assessments
Telecommunication assessments

The Project Development Team is collaborating with Membertou Geomatics Solutions, who are being contracted to complete Mi'kmaq knowledge studies (MEKS). These studies ensure the EA is informed by and inclusive of the Mi'Kmaq perspectives on the proposed land base.

The Development Team expects EA activities to be completed and submitted to the Province in winter 2023/2024.
