The process involves conducting a Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) based on available information to provide recommendations early in the review of a proposal. A PEA may be conducted either by the Ministry or by the proponent. The assessment includes an analysis of what is known about a proposal and the identification of what further information is needed. A PEA provides the Ministry with the basis for determining whether to consider a proposal further, and if so, the appropriate process for doing so. It also provides the proponent with valuable guidance for obtaining approval for a proposal. 1, record 3, English, - preliminary%20environmental%20assessment
