Place an X in the box to the right of the category that applies to your application. If your project is a
Type II, an environmental review is not required. If your project is a Type I, an Environmental
Assessment Statement (EAS) is required. If you cannot find an appropriate item on the list, your
project is most likely “unlisted” and requires the submission of an EAS.
If your application is unlisted or Type I, submit one (1) original and two (2) copies of the completed
EAS and one (1) copy in PDF format on a CD. If your application is Type II, submit three (3) copies
of the checklist.
