The environmental authorization order for the Seine-Nord Europe Canal for sector 1, going from Compiègne to Passel in Oise (60), was signed by the Prefect of Oise on Thursday April 8, 2021 and published on Monday April 12, 2021. This decree thus authorizes the construction of the first 18,6 kilometers of the canal, by precisely defining the conditions of this construction site, while respecting the environment and the territory.
The environmental authorization order signed on April 8th by the Prefect of the Oise department marks the final stage of a process initiated in 2019. This process involved state services, local stakeholders, national environmental experts, and residents during the public inquiry held last autumn. The order validates the detailed design work carried out by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal Company (SCSNE). Through this order, the state specifies all the authorized developments and the measures that must be taken during construction. The environmental authorization is the culmination of a long-term effort. Extensive studies and consultations have enabled the design of river and environmental developments that will blend harmoniously into the middle Oise valley, between Compiègne and Passel, while respecting human and environmental concerns.
The signing of this environmental authorization order paves the way for first works of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal. They will gradually get involved from this spring, in particular by building two roundabouts at Choisy-au-Bac and Ribécourt-Dreslincourt, then two platforms at Ribécourt-Dreslincourt and Pimprez this summer, before more substantial work from of autumn. On this sector of 18,6 kilometers in the Oise, the environmental developments include 391 ha of ecological sites created and restored. the construction of these facilities has already started. After the first developments in Bienville in 2017; the planting in March of more than 6 trees, including European elms, a protected species in Hauts-de-France, on a 500-hectare plot was carried out in Chiry-Ourscamp in the Oise (see report on the Canal Seine-Nord Europe website). 17 other sites will be gradually developed in the Oise valley.
The Seine-Nord Europe Canal Company will continue to provide information and hold meetings with residents and local people to continue explaining the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, its agenda, its next steps, to listen to their expectations and to prepare for the upcoming construction.
