Scotian Basin exploration drilling project : environmental assessment report.: En106-203/2018E-PDF

"BP Canada Energy Group ULC (the proponent) proposes to conduct an offshore exploration drilling program within its offshore Exploration Licences located in the Atlantic Ocean between 230 and 370 kilometres southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Scotian Basin Exploration Drilling Project (the Project) would consist of up to seven exploration wells drilled in the period from 2018 to 2022. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) conducted a federal environmental assessment (EA) of the Project based on the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). This EA Report provides a summary and the main findings of the federal EA. The EA focused on features of the natural and human environment that may be adversely affected by the Project and that are within federal jurisdiction, and on changes that may be caused in the environment that are directly linked or necessarily incidental to federal authorizations”--Executive summary, p. iii.
