Timothy Halman, Nova Scotia’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change, released a decision regarding the review of the Harbour Hills Wind Project.
The decision states Halman determined that the registration information was insufficient to make a decision on the project and that additional information is required in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Regulations, pursuant to Part IV of the Environment Act. The proponent must provide more information regarding flora and fauna.
