Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) Process
A number of reports were generated throughout the Study to document each of the Study phases as they were completed. All reports were prepared in draft through the life of the Study and were finalised in consideration of stakeholder comments and concerns with the completion of the Environmental Assessment (EA) Study and the submission of the 407 East EA Report to the Minister of Environment.
The reports for each phase of the Study form the Reference Documents of the overall EA Report providing greater details on the approach, findings and results of each phase. The table below highlights the Chapters of the EA Report and notes the corresponding Reference Documents for each chapter as ‘key documentation’.
Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) Process
In addition to addressing and documenting the approach and results of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) requirements, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) must also be addressed and a report prepared. An Environmental Screening Report was previously prepared to address the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
