GLENBURNIE-BIRCHY HEAD-SHOAL BROOK, NL – A company is proposing to build a drydock in Bonne Bay.
The structure, which will be located in Glenburnie-Birchy Head-Shoal Brook, has been registered with the provincial government for an environmental assessment by 3 T’s Limited.
According to an environmental assessment bulletin from the Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment on May 28, the 2090-square-metre drydock will extend 76.2 metres out from the highwater mark and will be 27.4 metres wide.
The drydock will be comprised of a 15.2-metres-wide concrete slipway bordered by two piers each with a 0.3-metre-wide inner wall and a 5.8-metres band of armour stone.
The public has until July 2 to comment on the project. Municipal Affairs and Environment Minister Andrew Parsons has a deadline of July 8 for his decision.
