The proposed project

Westshore Terminals Limited Partnership proposes to transport approximately 80,000 tonnes of preload sand to its terminal to enable the potential future expansion of the new potash building approved under PER No. 20-209. This future expansion would be submitted as a separate application and is not part of the scope of this project. The project also includes the removal of the preload sand after it has settled.
