Proponent: Salty Creeks Agricultural Enterprise

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent plans to raise commercial goats and produce cole crops on agricultural land located adjacent to Wych Hazel Pond, within the Town of Conception Bay South and City of St. John’s. Access to the site is available by gravel road from the Trans-Canada Highway near Thomas Pond. The project would require construction of a steel framed fabric building for the barn to house the goats, a concrete manure pad, and electric wire fencing. Slaughtering and butchering will not take place on-site and the proponent will use a local third-party for these activities. Construction is anticipated to begin in Fall 2022.
