Federal authorities have determined that the Ridley Island Export Logistics Project is unlikely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts.
Undertaken by the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the project would bring a new export logistics complex to the southern end of Ridley Island.
It would feature large-scale bulk and breakbulk transload facilities, an intermodal rail yard, and a container storage yeard.
By integrating terminal, logistics, and rail activities, the complex would minimize land impacts, container truck movements, and emissions.
With the positive receipt of the final determination, the Federal environmental review process has now come to a close.
That process is a prerequisite to obtain the final authorizations required to proceed with the project.
Site preparation activities are expected to get underway early this month, after the necessary permits are issued.
