What do the word “screening” and the term “screening report” refer to in the context of the EA?
“Screening” refers to an environmental assessment that is conducted pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and that includes considerations such as any change the project may cause in the environment, the significance of potential adverse environmental effects, comments from the public, and any measures that would mitigate the identified environmental effects. A “Screening Report” is a report that summarizes the results of a screening. It is the decision document of the expert and regulatory federal departments respecting their joint position on the significance of potential adverse environmental effects with mitigation. Generally, the Screening Report presents a summary of the major issues addressed in the environmental assessment and may reject, modify or add to the mitigation measures recommended in the environmental assessment.
