June 20^th, 2023 – The Montreal Port Authority (MPA) has determined that the proposed project Reconfiguration of a road of 550 meters, Port of Montreal in Contrecoeur is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• Management of nuisance (light pollution, noise and dust)
• Protection of riparian strips
• Management of excavated soils and sediments
• Management of residual materials and hazardous materials
• Protection of biodiversity: Installation of anti-intrusion fences, capture and relocation of species (with permit), protection of the bank swallow nesting box with a buffer zone
• Compensation for tree cutting: Plantation of 2 trees for each tree removed (DBH > 10 cm)
• Habitat enhancement for monarchs

Therefore, the MPA may perform any duty or function to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
