The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project which aims to improve the in- and out- access routes to the existing fuel pump facilities at Army Tank Park located in Camp Petersville at 5 Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown, New Brunswick. This requires the re-alignment of the in-route and the paving of both the in- and –out routes to the facility. The total surface area of the project is 17,000 square meters of which only 1200 square meters constitutes previously uncleared land. The design conforms to current standards and has no impact on wetlands or critical habitat. The construction will follow all applicable environmental regulations.
