Highway 947 Extension Project - Public Comments Invited on the Draft EIS Guidelines

Initiative: 
Highway 947 Extension Project
Deadline: 
5 Jul 2014

From the CEAA website:

Alberta Transportation proposes to construct and operate an extension of Highway 947 in north-central Alberta, from Highway 16 to the Athabasca River Bridge. The proposed Highway 947 Extension Project would be a two-lane all-season highway, 69.2 kilometres long, predominantly located on a new right-of-way. The new north-south highway would begin about 10 kilometres west of Edson on Highway 16, and end at the Athabasca River Bridge, south of Highway 43 between Fox Creek and Whitecourt, Alberta.

 


 

…the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency commenced a federal environmental assessment for the proposed Highway 947 Extension Project, located in north-central Alberta. The Agency invites the public to comment on which aspects of the environment may be affected by this project and what should be examined during the environmental assessment.

 

 

The public can review and comment on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines, a document that identifies the potential environmental effects to be taken into consideration, and the information and analysis that needs to be included in the proponent's EIS.
