Construction of a fertilizer plant in Bécancour Project

IFFCO Canada Enterprise Limited proposes the construction and operation of a fertilizer production plant, in the form of urea, with a production capacity of 3850 metric tons per day. The industrial complex would be located in the industrial park and port facility of Bécancour, in Quebec. In the event of the closure of the fertilizer production plant, the industrial facilities would be dismantled, and the site would be characterized and decontaminated as needed.

This is a revised project description. The Agency decided to initiate a new screening after being informed of a change to the project (construction of the plant would be on Lot 6 and not Lots 3 and 4 in the industrial park and port facility of Bécancour).

Latest update

March 18, 2013 - The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency issued its environmental assessment determination and decided that an environmental assessment of the designated project is not required.
