The proposed amendment

Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. (the Permit Holder) proposes to carry out physical activities related to the approved Locomotive Spur and Service Pad Project up until June 30, 2023. This would require an extension to the approved Locomotive Spur and Service Pad Project permit (PER No. 17-401), which has an expiry of June 30, 2021. The Permit Holder has indicated that they have requested this extension due to the delay of this project relative to other works that the terminal has prioritized. There is no change to the scope of work or construction activities specified in the original permit (available here).
