Weaver’s Cove Energy must submit additional information to Massachusetts on the potential environmental impact of its proposal to dredge Mount Hope Bay beforethe Department of Environmental Affairs will sign-off on the company’s terminal planned for Fall River, according to the state’s secretary of environmental affairs.
