The Deltaport Third Berth Project (DP3) required provincial approval under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act and federal approval following a review under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The Project has been comprehensively reviewed by federal and provincial government agencies through a single, harmonized environmental assessment process facilitated by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and was open to participation by stakeholders and the general public during all phases of the review.

The Project triggers a federal EA under CEAA because Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and Environment Canada (EC) will be required to issue statutory or regulatory approvals for various aspects of the Project, which are listed on the Law List Regulations of CEAA. Specifically, an authorization pursuant to section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act and a permit under section 127(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) for disposal at sea.
