The Proposed Project

The newly constructed Expedient Route Opening Capability (EROC) facility does not currently have a standalone fuel dispensing unit within Lauvina Wood compound for fueling the specialty vehicles utilized by military personnel in this area. A surplus empty portable fuel dispensing unit (the unit) (owner supplied) is currently situated at Lauvina Wood compound; however, design drawings (stamped by a professional engineer licensed to practice in New Brunswick) are required to comply with the Storage Tank Systems for Petroleum Products and Allied Petroleum Products Regulations, under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (CEPA). The unit is a self-contained tank and dispenser that is completely assembled with a capacity to hold 12,500 Litres of diesel fuel.
