  • Atmosphere
  • Surface Water
  • Soils and Geology
  • Ambient Noise
  • Aquatic Animals and Habitat
  • Species at Risk
  • Migratory Birds
  • Parks and Recreational Areas

The Department of National Defence is satisfied that that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, the Department of National Defence may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
