In addition, a request may be made to the MECP for an order requiring a higher level of study (i.e. requiring an individual/comprehensive
EA approval before being able to proceed), or that conditions be imposed (e.g. require further studies), only on the grounds that the
requested order may prevent, mitigate or remedy adverse impacts on constitutionally protected Aboriginal and treaty rights. Requests on
other grounds will not be considered. Requests should include the requester contact information and full name for the ministry.
Requests should specify what kind of order is being requested (request for additional conditions or a request for an
individual/comprehensive environmental assessment), how an order may prevent, mitigate or remedy those potential adverse impacts, and
any information in support of the statements in the request. This will ensure that the ministry is able to efficiently begin reviewing the
request.
The request should be sent in writing or by email to both of the following MECP contacts, copying the Project Team as outlined above:
