Why did it take so long to develop the 407 East EA ToR?
In the summer of 2003, a draft ToR was completed in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The ToR was prepared as a “focused” document and was intended to be submitted under section 6(2)(c) of the Environmental Assessment Act. Section 6(2)(c) allows the proponent to limit the number and type of alternatives that will be carried forward for further study.
