The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) is seeking public comments on the appropriateness of declaring minor repairs to transportation infrastructure in Atlantic Canada National Parks as a designated class of projects.
Projects that are part of a designated class of projects undergo a specific type of environmental assessment called a class screening. Class screenings ensure consistent consideration of environmental effects for a class of projects and increase efficiency between the involved federal departments. The goal is to simplify the environmental assessment process of projects that are not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
The replacement class screening report (RCSR) “Minor Repairs to Transportation Infrastructure in Atlantic Canada National Parks” can be found in the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, on the Agency’s Web site at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca. The report may also be obtained at the following locations:
