Reasons for a Federal Assessment

On May 31, 2005, it was determined that an environmental assessment was required in relation to the project because Fisheries and Oceans Canada was the proponent for the project and Transport Canada considered taking action in relation to paragraph 5(1)(a) of the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
