CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ACT
Replacement class screening reports — Special Events in the Halifax Defence Complex and Special Events in the Southwest Nova Scotia National Historic Sites of Canada — Public notice
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) re-declares the reports titled Special Events in the Halifax Defence Complex and Special Events in the Southwest Nova Scotia National Historic Sites of Canada to be replacement class screening reports (RCSRs) pursuant to the provisions of subsection 19(1) and paragraph 19(2)(a) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).
Public consultations on the RCSRs took place from July 24 to August 22, 2009. The Agency received no written submissions from the public concerning the RCSRs. In making the declarations proposed by the Parks Canada Agency (PCA), the Agency has reviewed the RCSRs and has determined the project screening process, as described in the documents, meets the requirements of the Act for the environmental assessment of this particular class of projects. It is also the Agency’s opinion that the class of projects described in the RCSRs is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when the design standards and mitigation measures described in the reports are applied.
The declaration is effective August 28, 2009, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:
- Subject to subsection 19(8) of the Act, the declarations are valid until August 31, 2014;
- PCA will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declarations expire, of its intention to either re-declare the RCSRs, or not to re-declare the RCSRs and thereby allow the declarations to expire; and
- PCA and the Agency will ensure the RCSRs are made available to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act. As such, PCA will place the RCSRs in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (the Registry). On a quarterly basis, PCA will also post on the Registry Internet site, at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, a statement of the projects for which the RCSRs were applied, as required under the Act. The quarterly schedule for posting on the Registry Internet site is contained in the RCSRs.
For further information, the public may contact the Class Screening Manager, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, 160 Elgin Street, 22nd Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3, 613-960-0277 or 1-866-582-1884 (telephone), 613-957-0946 (fax), ClassScreening@ceaa-acee.gc.ca (email).
