How long will the regional review process take and will it restrict access for uses in the Great Lakes?St. Lawrence River Basin?
The Governors and Premiers believe the process must be swift and must not be allowed to become an obstacle to economic growth. The overwhelming majority of proposed uses will continue to be reviewed only by the individual State or Province in which the application is made. Only the exceptions to diversions will undergo regional review. For proposals that must first be reviewed regionally, the regional review process must be completed within 90 days of receiving notice from the originating State or Province of the proposed water use. To the extent possible, the approval process will be incorporated into existing jurisdictional permit-approval timeframes.
