It’s full steam ahead for Irving Oil’s Environmental Impact Assessment for it’s proposed second refinery. This despite word from the company just weeks ago the proposal is in a holding pattern. Pierre Doucette is with the Environment Department and tells CHSJ News, this makes alot of sense from the company and their point of view because if the proposal gets a second life, this is a huge part of the process they don’t have to start from scratch.
Doucette says there have been other smaller cases where this has happened but no proposal of this size before. The Environment Department’s Open House is scheduled for Nov.18th….seven o’clock at the Simonds Lions Auditorium. Irving Oil has also announced the date for it’s open house which is September. 9th between two and nine o’clock at the Community College.
