EA Project Engagement

Welcome to our engagement site for Projects currently undergoing the Environmental Assessment (EA) process, pursuant to the Nova Scotia Environment Act and Environmental Assessment Regulations.  The EA Process is administered by the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change (NSECC).

​

Here, you are invited to review information related to the proposed Project, presented as an online 'open house', and to provide feedback prior to Project being registered with NSECC. Any feedback you provide will be considered in the ongoing preparation of the EA Registration Document that is being prepared for the Project.

1. What is the EA Process?

Environmental Assessment (EA) is a decision-making tool used to promote sustainable development by evaluating the potential environmental effects of major developments before they proceed. This is accomplished by involving the public along with various government departments and agencies during the environmental assessment.

​

Environmental assessment also promotes better project planning by identifying and addressing environmental effects at the earliest stages of project development and can save proponents time and money.

​

More information of the EA Process can be found at the NSECC's EA Frequently Asked Questions page.
