By the end of the year, the Environmental Impact Assessment for a proposed second refinery should be complete. Irving Oil has put on display what has been accomplished to this point through an open house. This even after Irving Oil and British petroleum announced they were shelving the project until the market is more favourable. Kevin Scott with Irving Oil tells CHSJ News, a lot of work went into this process and when finished, options will be preserved.
Scott says there are some work-shops next month and a public meeting in November with the final report expected by the end of the year.
