Environmental review project notices
EQB publishes environmental review notices provided by responsible governmental units. For more information on a project undergoing environmental review, click on the individual project links below. You can also find information about active projects in your community on the Environmental Review Projects Interactive Map.
We need your feedback: Some governmental units are completing environmental
review using the draft revised Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) form that
includes information about greenhouse gases and climate change. These reviews are
noted below with a star (*) in front of the project title. Help us understand the
usefulness of the climate change information in these EAWs by completing a
brief survey. Your feedback is important to the Environmental Quality Board and will inform
decision making on the final EAW form.
