Compliance receives notification of federal environmental review Wed Mar 31, 4:00 PM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com TSX-V TRADING SYMBOL: CEC VANCOUVER, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Compliance Energy Corporation (the "Company" or "Compliance") is pleased to report that it has received notification from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency ("CEA Agency") that an environmental assessment will be required on the Raven Underground Coal Project, pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act ("CEAA"). It is anticipated that an authorization under the federal Fisheries Act will likely also be required. "I am pleased that we have received notification from the federal government of the requirement to submit an environmental assessment under the CEAA" said John Tapics President & CEO. "We have been waiting to receive an indication of federal requirements, since first submitting our Raven Underground Coal Project Description to the CEA Agency in July, 2009 and Project Description Addendum in January, 2010. This brings certainty to the process and allows for the BC provincial review and the federal review to be harmonized to the extent possible." Compliance has been anticipating the federal requirement and as a result has been completing environmental baseline monitoring and conducting the studies necessary to prepare a comprehensive environmental assessment under the CEAA. The Company will work closely with both the provincial and federal authorities to minimize the amount of duplication required under their respective processes.
