The proposed amendment

Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. has requested an amendment to Condition 18 of PER No. 22-174 to allow for maintenance dredging works to be conducted 24 hours per day seven days per week to minimize disruption to terminal operations. Condition 18 currently stipulates that dredging works are conducted between 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Mitigation measures would be implemented to reduce impacts due to light and noise. Noise monitoring would also be conducted.
