1. Guidelines

Clients are strongly encouraged to review the Technical Proposal Guidelines prior to submitting an Application for an Environmental Assessment. Clients can fill out a self-assessment checklist found in Appendix A to gauge whether or not the project will require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

Examples of past projects requiring an EIA are mapped on the SaskInteractive mapping tool and are available at the Publications Centre. This tool can help clients understand what types of projects have previously required an EIA and the EIA requirements for similar projects, or projects in similar locations.
