The Environmental Impact Assessment process continues for the Eider Rock project even though it is on hold. The Provincial Environment Department will hold an open house tonight to hear positive or negative comments. The final EIA documentation prepared for the project from Irving Oil has been handed over to the province. They are satisfied the company will take appropriate actions to protect the environment and now begins the public consultation process.
The Clean Air Coalition is not in favor of the project and since day one, has been calling for a Federal E.I.A before the project is given the green light to proceed with construction. Tonight's meeting gets started at seven o'clock at the Simonds Lions Auditorium on the Loch Lomond Road.
