CEAR No. 12-01-67282

Ptarmigan Energy Inc. submitted a project description for a proposed 2D and/or 3D seismic survey in the Anticosti Basin area of the Western Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area. The project was listed on the Inclusion List Regulations under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (S.C. 1992, c. 37) (CEAA) and required a Screening level of assessment.

On July 6, 2012, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (S.C. 1992, c. 37) was repealed when the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012) came into force on July 6, 2012.

The Environmental assessment (EA) for the Ptarmigan Energy Inc. Geophysical Program for Anticosti Basin area offshore Western Newfoundland and Labrador in EL 1120; EL 1128 and EL 1127, 2012-2021 is no longer required federally as a result of CEAA 2012. However, all other applicable legislative, regulatory and constitutional requirements still must be fulfilled. In particular, safety and environmental protection are priority responsibilities of the C-NLOPB pursuant to the Accord legislation, and the C-NLOPB still must consider the potential environmental effects of activities that are proposed for its authorization.

Accordingly, the C-NLOPB will be continuing and completing EAs that was ongoing pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act prior to July 6, 2012.

The following is a list of documents available on the C-NLOPB public registry for the project.
