We have made regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental Assessment Projects regulation, and taken related actions to move Ontario’s environmental assessment program to a project list approach under the Environmental Assessment Act.
We are modernizing our environmental assessment (EA) program to better serve communities now and in the future. Comments received on the discussion paper have been and will continue to be considered when making decisions on EA modernization initiatives.
We amended seven Class Environmental Assessments to align them with the move to a project list approach for projects that will require a comprehensive environmental assessment. This posting provides information on those amendments and brings them into effect.
We are proposing to extend the expiry date for Environmental Assessment Act approvals by 10 years for certain projects once the relevant amendments to the Act come into effect. This extension will allow the projects to proceed (subject to any other permits and approvals required) instead of requiring a new environmental assessment to be completed.
