Dumper 2 Potash Replacement Project

The proposed project 

Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. (NBT) is proposing to replace one of two existing potash rail dumper receiving and conveyor systems located at the south east corner of their terminal (immediately north of Berth 3). Potash Dumper No. 2 is reaching the end of its service life and requires a replacement that will match the increased dumper capacity (6000 metric tonnes per hour from 4000 metric tonnes per hour) as Potash Dumper No. 1, which was refurbished in 2010. As part of the project, the dumper hopper is to be extended approximately 6 metres towards the north east for positioning and unloading of up to 3 rail cars at a time. Overall terminal throughput is not anticipated to increase as a result of the project and there is no anticipated change in rail or vessel traffic. The total land-based footprint includes an area of approximately 2000 square metres with the majority of the excavation to a depth of 7 metres and up to a depth of 12 metres. 

Work is anticipated to commence Q1/Q2 of 2024 and is expected to occur over a period of approximately 10-15 months.
