The interactions among the Region of Durham, the GTA, the City of Kawartha Lakes, the City of Peterborough and the Counties of Northumberland and Peterborough will become more critical as population and employment levels in all of these areas continue to grow. THE PROCESS This Study will fulfill the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (OEAA) as well as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and will be undertaken by MTO’s Central Regional Planning and Environmental Office, in accordance with the approved process detailed in the EA ToR. Public involvement is an important element to the success of the Study in terms of identifying transportation needs and assessing potential environmental impacts and mitigation. In order to facilitate this participation, an extensive public consultation process will be undertaken and Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held at key points in the Study, with the first expected in mid-2005. The time and locations of these PICs will be advertised in local newspapers and on the project Web site: www.407eastea.com At any time during the environmental assessment process, the public and stakeholders can provide input and comments related to the IEA Study. At the conclusion of the Study, an IEA Study Report will be submitted to the Minister of the Environment for review and approval. If, at the completion of the Study, any member of the public feels that serious concerns remain unresolved, he or she has the right to request that the Minister of the Environment refer the project to a hearing. COMMENTS Any comments and information regarding this project will be collected to assist the Ministry of Transportation in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. This material will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation. Information collected will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.
