    World Energy GH2 has submitted a proposal with government to construct and operate two onshore wind farms in the Port au Port-Stephenville areas. This also includes the associated transmission and supporting infrastructure to power a hydrogen/ammonia production facility in the port of Stephenville. The Minister of Environment and Climate Change is seeking public comments on the environmental impact statement (EIS), a document that describes the project and provides an overview of the potential environmental effects of all phases of the project. To facilitate public participation, the EIS is available on the Department of Environment and Climate Change website at: www.gov.nl.ca. Printed copies of the full EIS will be placed in the Bay St. George South, Cape St. George, Lourdes, St. George’s, Stephenville, Stephenville Crossing and Upper Ferry (Codroy Valley) public libraries. Printed copies of the EIS Summary will also be available at the World Energy GH2 Community Office in Stephenville. Written comments must be received by October 11th.
