BHP Canada Exploration Drilling Project 2019-2028
This public registry page has been created by the C-NLOPB for the posting of documents related to the BHP Canada Newfoundland Exploration Drilling Program in the Orphan Basin area. The Responsible Authority (RA) for the project is the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) so comments on documents available for public comment should be sent to:
BHP Canada Exploration Drilling Project
Impact Assessment Agency of Canada
200-1801 Hollis Street
Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3N4
Telephone: 902-426-0564
Fax: 902-426-6550
Email: CEAA.BHPCanada.ACEE@canada.ca
As the RA for this project, the IAAC page is the primary point for locating documents, and in the event of discrepancies between postings on the C-NLOPB Public Registry and the IAAC site, the IAAC site should be considered accurate.
