The public is invited to comment on the draft environmental assessment scoping document of a joint proposal by Gaz Métro Limited Partnership, Gaz de France and Enbridge Inc. (Proponents) to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Ville Guay/Beaumont area, located at the limits of the cities of Lévis and Beaumont, Quebec. The project is known as The Rabaska LNG Project. The principal components of the proposed project include a jetty to receive the LNG tankers, a terminal comprising two storage tanks and vaporization equipment, and approximately 50 kilometres of pipeline to connect the LNG terminal to the existing facilities of Gazoduc Trans Québec & Maritimes Inc. (TQM) in Saint-Nicolas, Quebec.

The Rabaska Project is subject to the federal environmental assessment process pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA). The National Energy Board, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Transport Canada are responsible authorities (RAs) for the Rabaska Project and will ensure that an environmental assessment is undertaken. The RAs have determined the proposed scope of the project for the purposes of the environmental assessment, the factors proposed to be considered in its assessment, and the proposed scope of those factors. The scope of the environmental assessment, along with other details of the environmental assessment process and the opportunities for public participation, can be found in a document entitled Rabaska Project - Environmental Assessment Scoping Document. The Draft Rabaska Project Environmental Assessment Scoping Document is available on the National Energy Board's Internet site at www.neb-one.gc.ca.

The proposed LNG terminal, which would be capable of delivering 14.2 million cubic metres per day of vaporized gas, would be constructed in Ville Guay/Beaumont, Quebec. LNG taken from various places in the Atlantic basin would be delivered to the proposed terminal by means of about 60 LNG tankers per year. The proposed jetty would be able to accommodate LNG tankers ranging between 138 000 to 160 000 cubic metres in capacity. A pipeline of approximately 50 kilometres from the proposed terminal would have to be constructed to connect to the facilities of TQM in Saint Nicolas, Quebec. Construction of the facilities is proposed for 2006 to 2008.
