Dear federal colleagues,

Further to my previous email, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) would like to invite the federal review team to provide comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines.

Following a 45-day screening period, on June 30, 2016, the Agency determined that an Environmental Assessment (EA) is required for this Project. The federal EA process started on July 12, 2016. The next step of the process is to finalize the EIS Guidelines. The purpose of the EIS Guidelines is to identify the information the proponent will be required to provide in its EIS, and the nature, scope and extent of the information required. The Agency invites you to provide comments on the draft EIS Guidelines, particularly in relation to any environmental effects related to your departmental mandate and described in section 5 of CEAA 2012,

Your response by August 12, 2016 would be appreciated.

After the comment period on the draft EIS Guidelines, the Agency will finalize the document and provide it to the proponent. Within 60 days of the start of the environmental assessment, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change may decide to refer the Project to a review panel. A referral to review panel is considered if the Project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects, or if Indigenous communities or the public have raised concerns related to the potential for significant adverse environmental effects.

Regards,
