Notice of Determination

December 4, 2024 – The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) and Farm Credit Canada (FCC) have determined that the proposed expansion of a plant is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

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

• community knowledge;
• comments received from the public; and
• technically and economically feasible mitigation measures.

Note that no comments were received during the public commenting period.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• A general contractor with extensive experience of this type of construction will carry out the work. 
• The client must, as per the agreement to be signed at closing, if financial assistance is provided:
  • Have all required permits and comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
  • Inform BDC and FCC immediately upon becoming aware of any environmental issue and promptly provide any communications with environmental authorities to the involved parties.

BDC and FCC are satisfied that that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, BDC and FCC may provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
