As part of the Environmental Assessment, the following major activities will be
carried out over the next couple of years in consultation with review agencies,
the public, and other stakeholders:
- Identification of the transportation problems within the study area
- Establish an inventory of the natural, social, and cultural environments within
the study area
- Evaluation of the identified alternatives for addressing the transportation problems
leading to a preferred alternative
- Develop and evaluate the different methods or ways of implementing the preferred
alternative
- Carry out a detailed assessment of the potential effects including development of
appropriate mitigation measures for addressing the identified effects
- Prepare the Environmental Assessment Report for submission to the Minister of the
Environment for review and approval
The results of the study will be documented in an Environmental Assessment Report.
The Environmental Assessment Report will be submitted to the Ontario Minister of
the Environment for an approval decision. In making a decision, the Ontario Minister
of the Environment will undertake a formal public and agency review of the document.
