Notice of Determination

June 22, 2021 – The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has determined that the proposed project to expand the manufacturing facility and add a new paint booth of Delehay Group of Companies on the site located at 11917 FM 917, Alvarado, Texas, USA, is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples;
• Indigenous knowledge;
• community knowledge;
• comments received from the public; and
• technically and economically feasible mitigation measures.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• Development permit has been issued by Johnson County, Texas, which the city of Alvarado is located within.
• During the disbursement of the loan:
  • The client must report immediately any accident or malfunctions that may have material adverse effects on the environment.
• When the project is completed:
  • The client must notify BDC by writing of the completion of the project.

BDC is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. Therefore, BDC may provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
