GXT EA Report GXT GrandSPAN Marine Exploration Program Environmental Assessment 4.3.2 Other Marine Activities A number of other human activities occur within or near the marine environment in the Study Area, as described below. 4.3.2.1 Marine Traffic Management Marine Communications and Traffic Service (MCTS) Centres are located throughout the province, including in St. John’s (microwave links, radio communications, visual surveillance networks, audio and video equipment), Argentia (radar surveillance, radio communications networks, audio and video equipment), and Port aux Basques (microwave links, radio communications and radar surveillance networks) along the shores that border the Study Area. These centres are responsible for detecting marine distress situations and ensuring assistance is available. They broadcast safety information, direct and provide advice to marine traffic, ensure ports and traffic movements are efficient and optimized and assist in the operations of pilots (CCG 2013). Vessel traffic separation zones are maintained in Placentia Bay, around St. John’s harbour and Port aux Basques (Figure 4.104). 4.3.2.2 Small Craft Harbours In Newfoundland and Labrador, a total of 264 harbours are operated by 214 Harbour Authorities, a large number of which are located in areas of Eastern and Southern Newfoundland that border the Study Area. This includes “Core fishing harbours” which are managed by local Harbour Authorities and are central to the fishing and aquaculture industries, as well as non-core harbours (Figure 4.105) (Boutilier, D. pers. comm. 2014). These harbours are also often used for recreational boating and marine tourism activities.

Several ferry services operate within or near the Study Area (Table 4.40).

The Argentia to North Sydney ferry operates two to three times per week in each direction (MAI 2013), with most activity being passenger traffic (Table 4.41). In 2013, following a ferry accident that resulted in unanticipated repairs, the Argentia ferry was reassigned to Port aux Basques for 20 days (August 1 to 21), and as a result, ferry activity on that route was reduced (MAI 2013).

(2014) The Port aux Basques to North Sydney ferry operates once or twice daily in each direction (MAI 2013). This year round ferry service moves more than 100,000 passenger vehicles and nearly as many commercial vehicles annually (Table 4.42).

(2014) A regular ferry service also delivers passengers and goods from Fortune on the Island of Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula to the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. 4.3.2.4 Marine Shipping and Transportation The regions of Eastern and Southern Newfoundland that border the Study Area include 19 shipping ports, of which St. John’s has the most diverse shipping activity and industrial infrastructure (Figures 4.104 and 4.105). Come By Chance and Fortune are also key international shipping ports. Fortune is the Newfoundland port of entry / exit for St. Pierre and Miquelon, and Come By Chance has a large number of shipping movements associated with the transfer of petroleum products. International cargo shipping to and from Study Area ports represents approximately 90 percent of the total marine shipping movements conducted to and from Newfoundland and Labrador (Statistics Canada 2013). 4.3.2.5 Unexploded Ordnance and Legacy Sites Unexploded ordnance (UXOs) are explosives that were left undetonated or did not explode as intended. Potential UXO sites include sunken ships and submarines as well as munitions dump sites. A Department of National Defence (DND) UXO legacy site is any property that was formerly owned, leased or used by DND, which has an ongoing associated UXO risk. DND’s UXO and Legacy Sites Program was established in 2005, to manage safety risks posed by Canadian UXOs (DND 2014). A number of known UXO sites (DND Legacy Sites and other shipwrecks and explosives dumps) are located within the Study Area (Table 4.43 and Figure 4.106) (Giffin, C.L., pers. comm., Kearney, J., pers. comm., LGL 2010).

Boat tours and sea kayaking are among the most commonly offered activities (Table 4.44). There are also hiking trails located all along the coastlines that border the Study Area (NLT 2013a).

    Number: PL- 557 Date: 20 January 2021 From: Canadian Numbering Administrator (CNA) Subject: NPA 879 to Overlay NPA 709 (Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada) Related Previous Planning Letters: PL-503, PL-514, PL-521 _____________________________________________________________________ This Planning Letter supersedes all previous Planning Letters related to NPA Relief Planning for NPA 709 (Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada). In Telecom Decision CRTC 2021-13, dated 18 January 2021, Indefinite deferral of relief for area code 709 in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an NPA 709 Relief Planning Committee’s report which recommended the indefinite deferral of implementation of overlay area code 879 to provide relief to area code 709 until it re-enters the relief planning window. Accordingly, the relief date of 20 May 2022, which was identified in Planning Letter 521, has been postponed indefinitely. The relief method (Distributed Overlay) and new area code 879 will be implemented when relief is required. Background Information: In Telecom Decision CRTC 2017-35, dated 2 February 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that relief for Newfoundland and Labrador area code 709 be provided through a Distributed Overlay using new area code 879. The new area code 879 has been assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and will be implemented as a Distributed Overlay over the geographic area of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador currently served by the 709 area code. The area code 709 consists of 211 Exchange Areas serving the province of Newfoundland and Labrador which includes the major communities of Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls, Happy Valley – Goose Bay, Labrador City – Wabush, Marystown and St.

This third annual report produced by Small Craft Harbours Branch, Newfoundland Region, covers the major activities of the Branch for the fiscal year 1985/86. During the fiscal year continuing efforts were made towards planning of the Small Craft Harbours Program to better define and priorize projects, and to maximize the socio-economic benefits to the commercial fishing industry. This has been an on-going process and additional emphasis was placed on this activity over the past three years.

  • Address from the Hon. Minister David Brazil, Minister of Transportation
    1 Speaking Notes Hon. Minister David Brazil, Minister of Transportation and Works Atlantic Forum on Transportation 2015 May 20, 2015 • Good morning. • Thank you for inviting me to speak this morning. It is my pleasure to be here to talk about some of the policies and initiatives that the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has undertaken in support of a strong and efficient transportation network for residents and visitors to the province. • We have an extremely complex transportation network in this province, and as the Minister of Transportation and Works, I talk with individuals every day who drive our highways, fly our provincial air services, and take our ferries to work. • These transportation systems affect every aspect of people’s day-to-day lives; as such, we all have a vested interest in maintaining reliable and quality transportation networks. Whether it is investments in roads, highways or ferries, our government has made it a mission to provide safe and reliable transportation infrastructure to residents and families throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. • Our focus is not limited to the movement of people and goods from one place to another. It is our view that we all gain from advancements in transportation infrastructure and that every person has a voice. • Building and maintaining quality transportation networks is critical to creating a successful economy and has a major influence on the quality of life for all. • Socially, residents are able to travel more easily and have greater accessibility to services. • Commercially, well-developed transportation infrastructure supports a free flow of goods and helps contribute to a region’s growing tourism industry.
