Report of the Environmental Assessment Panel : Roberts Bank Port Expansion.: En106-169/1979E-PDF

"The present port facilities at Roberts Bank, constructed in the late 196O's, consist of a 20 hectare coal port terminal at the end of a 5 km causeway. The National Harbours Board proposes to construct an additional 80 to 110 hectares of storage area adjacent to the present terminal for the export of such commodities as coal, sulphur, potash, grain and bulk liquids according to projected requirements over the next 15 to 20 years. The construction is proposed to be a balanced dredging and filling operation. The material excavated from an enlarged ship channel and turning basin would be used to create the required additional terminal space"--Exec. Summary.
