Informal information request to Bear Head, page-16

SYDNEY – The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) today issued Bear Head LNG Corp. (Bear Head LNG) an updated and amended permit to construct, making the project the first in Eastern Canada to be granted such authorization.
This approval followed a recommendation from Lloyd’s Register, the UARB’s certifying authority.
Bear Head LNG has now obtained nine of the 10 initial Canadian federal, provincial, and local regulatory approvals needed to construct a liquefied natural gas export facility on the Strait of Canso in Nova Scotia.
The UARB had first permitted Bear Head LNG as an LNG import facility in 2005. Facilities were partially constructed and have been kept in “hot-idle” status since 2008. The UARB previously granted extensions of the Permit to Construct in 2009 and 2013.​

Bear Head LNG is now the only LNG project on the East Coast of Canada with all of the following project approvals and permits in place. Some of these approvals would take a minimum of 18 months to secure if such approvals had not been previously obtained and appropriately maintained as active
