Mossy Character sends in Imperial Oil faces multiple environmental assessments without comment.

An Imperial project to replace pipelines at its Norman Wells facility - the Line 490 project, which the company said was vital work to unlock access to more oil and keep the facility going - was referred to environmental assessment by the Sahtu Secretariat last month.
The Sahtu Secretariat represents the regions Sahtu Dene and Métis. The decision to refer the pipeline work was not unanimous among the secretariat's members, but a letter from Sahtu Secretariat Chair Charles McNeely said the drilling technique proposed beneath the Mackenzie River "clearly calls for a full environmental assessment."
Now, the regulatory record shows a second environmental assessment has been opened covering Imperial's licence to operate the entire facility for the next five to 10 years.

I know Mossy has great confidence in me to say something smart, but I think I'm missing something here.

But my flight is boarding! Byeeeeee.
