Replacement Class Screening Report: Special Events in the Halifax Defence Complex
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) declares the report entitled "Replacement Class Screening Report: Special Events in the Halifax Defence Complex" (the RCSR) to be a replacement class screening report pursuant to subsection 19(1) and paragraph 19(2)(a) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (the Act).
In making the declaration proposed by the Parks Canada Agency, the Agency has reviewed the RCSR and determined that the project screening process, as described in the document, will meet the requirements of the Act for the environmental assessment of the class of projects. It is also the opinion of the Agency that the class of projects described in the RCSR is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when the design standards and mitigation measures described in the report are applied.
The declaration is effective July 17, 2004, and is subject to the following terms and conditions:
-
Subject to subsection 19(8) of the Act, the declaration period is valid until July 16, 2009.
-
The Parks Canada Agency will notify the Agency, in writing, a minimum of six months prior to the date on which the declaration expires, of its intention: to renew the RCSR; to renew the RCSR with modifications or additions; or, not to renew the RCSR and thereby allow the declaration to expire.
-
To renew the RCSR, the Parks Canada Agency will submit the proposed class screening report to the Agency not less than two months prior to the expiration date of this declaration, so that the Agency may initiate a new declaration process.
-
The Parks Canada Agency and the Agency will ensure that the RCSR is made available to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act, as it may be amended from time to time. As such, the Parks Canada Agency will place the RCSR in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry (the CEAR) project file in its Regional Office. The Parks Canada Agency will also post a statement of the projects in respect of which the RCSR was used, to the CEAR Internet site, on a quarterly basis as required under paragraph 55.1(2)(d) of the Act.
-
Any amendments to the report will be developed and implemented in accordance with the provisions for amendment contained in section 6 of the RCSR.
