The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing a project. The roads at Canadian Forces Ammunition Depot (CFAD) Rocky Point require annual regrading and maintenance. All activities including equipment/vehicle movements and storage/laydown areas will be limited to existing roads and parking lots. There will be no off-road vehicle access and no placement of materials in ditches and/or other vegetated areas. There will be no in-water work associated with these road maintenance activities.
