Book excerpt: The Terra Nova development is a proposal to develop the petroleum resources of the Terra Nova oil field located on the north-east Grand Banks. Development will take place using a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel; semi-submersible drilling rigs; and shuttle tankers to carry the produced oil to on-shore facilities. This report describes the Terra Nova proposal, the process for a joint federal-provincial environmental assessment of the project, and the fundamental findings and recommendations arising from the assessment. These findings and recommendations cover the following: the socio-economic impacts of the project, including employment opportunities, worker safety, and benefits to the economy; the impact of the environment (such as wind, weather, waves, and ice) on the project; environmental effects of the project, including those from offshore discharges, drilling waste, produced water, and oil spills; and monitoring of the effects of the project. Includes glossary.
