Class Environmental Assessments for Hydro-Electric Projects
Based on extensive consultation between the Ontario Waterpower Association and its members (ORTECH was actively involved in this consultation process), the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources recognized that the Renewable Energy Approval process in its original state would be poorly equipped to expedite the process for water power projects beyond what the Class EA provides. This regulatory conclusion means that for water power, the existing Class EA under O.Reg. 116/01 remains in effect and the federal provincial cooperation agreement still applies.
