CEAA Invites Comments On Proposed Natural Gas Project

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has initiated the 20-day public review process required under the Canadian Evironmental Assessment Act, 2012 ("CEAA, 2012") for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project. The project proponent, Prince Ruper Gas Transmission Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada Pipelines Limited), filed its project description on May 21, 2013, commencing the 45-day federal screening process required to screen a designated project and to determine whether a federal environmental assessment is required. The public review process follows the requisite 10-day period during which the Agency can request further information not provided in a project description.
