Project Description
Hydro-Québec plans to build a new substation as well as a 315 kV feeder line to meet sustained growth in the towns of Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes and Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac. The project was subject to an environmental impact assessment under Quebec’s Environment Quality Act. Stantec, which was responsible for the study, contracted Activa Environnement to oversee the agricultural component of the said evaluation. The mandate included preparation of an overview of the sector and an assessment of project impacts on agriculture.
