Fisheries and Oceans Canada will conduct a screening commencing on November 27, 2006 of the project:
Remediation of the Pointe de l'Ouest site (Anticosti).
The Department of Fisheries and Ocean (Small Craft Harbours and Real Property) must undertake the remediation of metal- and oil-contaminated soil in the sector of the Pointe de l'Ouest minor coastal light. The work will involved excavation of the contaminated soil.
The assessment will examine the impact of the work on soil and surface water quality, vegetation, threatened plant species and wildlife in the work area and immediate surroundings. The assessment will be limited to the planned duration of the work (several weeks).
Under section 5 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, an EA is required for this project because Fisheries and Oceans Canada is the proponent for the project.
